Hi Mark, is there a protocol for competing under a different club name later in the year? I currently train in a different gym than I had competed under in the previous events (working up the country now).

Will I register under my current gym for the upcoming event?

Thanks.

Register using your current Gym and that should appear on the match lists on the day. The best thing to do is to go to your League Table and click on Report a Problem, then change your club name.
The system will then update your club on the tables when it next runs.

No bother, sound. Now to hope I don't run into a member if my previous gym so as to avoid awkwardness... Haha

Thanks.

2 Weeks to MMA League Galway - we'll soon be back where the League first started! Divisions are very busy so it is looking like being a great day, though we would expect no less from the Galway event. If you haven't registered already, get it done as the sooner I know how many people are going to be there, the easier it is to get officials organized and make sure the days runs smooth and with the usual League efficiency.

Hmm, wonder if I'm in for a title shot, I didn't compete in Galway but I'm actually fourth in my division nonetheless.

Requirements for finalists are as follows -

• Be in the top 4 (or in the top four places where more than one person shares points for each position)
• Be no more than 6 points from the person in first place
• The division must have at least 4 competitiors

Thanks for that - looks like I'm in with a shot!

Due to a scheduling conflict with pretty much ALL my judges the League has been rescheduled for one week later on Saturday the 30th of November.
Apologies for any inconvenience this will cause, but it was run a half assed event on the 23rd as planned or move the date and do it professionally.

Only one person I have yet to speak to, then I will be able to make the matches for the Finalists.
Other competitors not in the finals will have the matches made as normal.

The hope is that Finalists arrive early, get weighed in and can get on the mat right away, we should have two rings running to get all the finals over before the regular matches even need to start!

mark.leonard

The schedule for the Final matches has been posted on the League Facebook page.
Regular matches will be scheduled as usual on the day.

If you are in a final, you get once chance to weigh in and you need to be registered and weighed in before your match starts.
Anyone not ready to go when their match is called will be DQ'ed and a win handed to your opponent.

Apologies for the hard line, but we need to run the event professionally if we are going to get through the finals and the regular matches in a timely fashion, I appreciate your support.

Registration is closed and we are packed up and ready to kick off the final round of 10 years of MMA Leagues!
