GAMT: Young Lions

, Fight Organization,
Company profile by Runt .

The Global Association of Muay Thai (GAMT) proudly brings the Tycoon universe a new unique brand to the game, offering a new type of competition and an exciting opportunity to both veteran and new managers alike.  We introduce to you, GAMT: Young Lions.

 

Young Lions is a new organization based in Las Vegas that will offer a tournament based system regularly to all interested parties.  This tournament will feature a unique point’s based system, regular fights and exciting match-ups.  I know you’re already frothing at the mouth to know more, so let’s get into it.

 

Tournament

overview:  Tournaments will be held in specific divisions at regular intervals on a Swiss Tournament like structure, featuring fights every two weeks, and match-ups based on the fighters score throughout the tournament.  Fighters will not be matched more than once during the tournament rounds and no one will be eliminated until the final round, with each fight running on striking rules only.

At the conclusion of the tournament rounds a KO stage will be held to determine an official winner, the fighter placing first will be offered a 100k contract, with second scoring a 50k contract and third, snatching a cool 30k contract with the number one Muay Thai company in the game, GAMT.

 

Tournament Rules

 

Conditions of entry:  Fighters entering the tournament must meet the ID restriction, and be prepared to fight through all tournament rounds, win or lose.  Fighters must be 18 years old or younger, and be prepared to fight every two weeks until the conclusion of the tournament.  Tournaments may run simultaneously, fighting biweekly, giving managers an opportunity to have a fighter in each tournament running at the same time.



 

Tournament Structure:  Based on the Swiss system, fighters will receive points for each fight (See further down for scoring) and be matched each round with fighters of the same, or similar score but not fighting the same fighter twice. 

This process will repeat until the last tournament round, where the final 6 highest scoring fighters will proceed to the KO rounds.  There will be 7 to 9 tournament rounds, followed by three KO rounds to determine the tournament winner (number of rounds will depend on the number of entrants).

 

Fight Rules:  Muay Thai rules apply to each bout, featuring five three minute rounds.

 

Match-ups:  In the first round all match-ups will be made completely at random.  All participants then proceed to the next round in which winners are pitted against winners, losers are pitted against losers, and so on. In subsequent rounds, each competitor faces an opponent with the same, or almost the same, cumulative point score.

No player is paired up with the same opponent twice.  During all but the first round, competitors are paired based on approximately how well (or poorly) they have performed so far. 

 

Scoring:  Each fighter is awarded points on how they perform, this structure is detailed below.

 

Win: 3 Points

Lose: 1 Point

Draw: 2 Points

Bye: 2 Points

Refused fight: Minus 2 Points (Opponent would receive a Bye)

 

Byes:  Each tournament will endeavor to start with an equal amount of entrants.  Byes will be awarded if your opponent refuses to fight, drops out or becomes inactive, or either fighter is too injured or cut to fight (Note that the two week turn around between fights should be enough for most to recover from the previous round.)  

 

KO Round:  At the conclusion of the tournament rounds the final 6 fighters will compete in a round robin KO stage.  1st will face 6th, 2nd to face 5th, so on and so forth.  The winner will be crowned tournament champion, second and third will be determined by the highest points (excluding the KO round winner.)  This is the only stage of the tournament where you MAY face an opponent you have already fought once, the perfect place for redemption.

 

Further Details

 

Updates:  Scoring will be posted to all competitors after each tournament event.

 

Contracts:  Fighters will be offered contracts to cover all of the tournament rounds and KO rounds, at 3000 Sign / 3000 Fight / 2000 win.  Given each fighter will fight every two weeks, this contract will be plenty of financial support to cover all training needs, and more.

 

First Tournament:  Recruitment is now beginning for the GAMT: Young Lions first tournament, the tournament will have a 310k ID restriction and will be held at 170 pounds.  Any fighter below this weight is eligible to enter.  If you’re interested in this fun opportunity to create a kickboxing legend, please contact the org owner Runt.

 

Losing Fighters:  If you’re fighter doesn’t win the tournament, or do quite well, all may not be lost.  GAMT: Young Lions will also feature a few select ID restricted divisions offering regular fights, therefore your fighter may be offered a contract to stay if you wish.

 

Get in quick and register your interest, and fighter.  Once the tournament is full, a second tournament may commence recruitment to run biweekly, though this is not guaranteed, so get your fighter in quickly.
