New rule idea - Option to remove a rated fighter

[killersheep]

Nothing much has changed, all the votes for this week have closed bar this one. Hope everythings good with you mate.

I agree with what your saying about Marquez & Agbeko, but we need something to deal with cases like Diaz'. Maybe we could edit killers rule of demoting a little... if a fighter is nomiated to be demoted the options should run from his current rank to the pool e.g. Diaz is number 6 so he could drop 1-4 (ranks 7-10) spots or straight to the pool.

What about just saying if a fighter loses two fights in a row we vote to drop him to the pool, regardless of what weightclass he's ranked in? This would simplify things from what we are talking about.

I'm good with that, are we still going to keep your rule of demoting? I think we should!

I still think the demotion idea should stay, I have a feeling it won't be used often (that's at least my hope). I think it should only be used in more extreme cases where there is a deep pool and the rankings are getting really crowded with guys taking it easy.

I really want to emphasize this, if we continue with the demotion rule, managers should go in with the mindset of opposing the motion by default they must be convinced that it will benefit the rankings as a whole to agree with it. I personally have voted complacently and made mistakes. I will be paying much closer attention in the future.
