The final rounds for Bout 5s have been sent, and we've got one KO in this batch.

We are about halfway through the bout 5s. Don Flamenco records a 6th round KO, while Super Macho Man and Rick Bruiser earn Unanimous Decisions.

Bout 6 set has been started...good luck all

[flexmaster33]

Piston Hurricane scores a 6th round KO, while Great Tiger wins his third bout in a row.

We've got four bouts still active in the bout 6 set...expect Bout 7s to go out by the weekend.

[flexmaster33]

We've got some wobbly boxers in this Bout 7 set, but no KOs yet.

Unfortunately, I seem to be hitting some trouble with my image hosting site this weekend. Anyone know of any good free sites that they like?

Sent out the start of bout 8s tonight...these are the last bouts before the first cut-off. The top-12 in money rankings after this bout 8 set is complete will advance to Stage 2 ... four more bouts before the final cut down.

Good luck all, let those fists fly.

Fixed my Flickr problem, so hopefully everyone is seeing the updated rankings and all.

We've got some big matchups around the cut line and also up at the top of the rankings in this batch.

[flexmaster33]

We've got some good bouts going in the #8 set...sending out the last three rounds tonight. None have been decided yet.

4 active bouts still undecided, but in the late rounds, then we'll make the cuts and move on to phase 2

[flexmaster33]

Still two active bouts to be decided, but the cut line has been set.

Thanks to all below the #12 ranking on playing the tourney, and good luck to the rest as we move into Phase 2.

[flexmaster33]

First bouts of Phase 2 have been sent out. ... a reminder we now go 10 rounds.

Four bouts in this phase, then we'll have our final cuts to make the championship six.

[flexmaster33]

Piston Hurricane and Bald Bull get KOs in their Bout 9s ... this is a league-best third KO for Piston Hurricane (j1mathman)

[flexmaster33]

Bout 10s are underway...we've got a blockbuster matchup with #1 Don Flamenco taking on #2 Mike Tyson in this set.

[flexmaster33]

Another quick KO in the Bout 10 set.

[flexmaster33]

Final rounds sent for the Bout 10s...there are some close ones in play and some potential KOs in the works.

[flexmaster33]

Soda Popinski wins a Unanimous Decision...still three bout 10s battling through the final rounds.

How does the final stage work? Is it still based on cumulative prize money or do games from that point on directly swap ranking spots (and if someone has the most prize money but just lost the title bout, could they still be the #1 contender and directly participate in the title bout multiple times in a row)?

Good question.

For the Final Phase...
The initial bouts will be ranked on Prize $$$ totals/ranks.
Title Bout #1 vs. #2
Challenger Bout: #3 vs. #4
Other #5 vs. #6

For continuing bouts in the Final Phase
Winner of Title bout will take on Winner of Challenger Bout
Winner of Other bout will move up and take on the Loser of the Title Bout
Loser of the Challenger Bout will drop down and face the Loser of the Other Bout.

[flexmaster33]

Piston Hurricane scores a Unanimous Decision.

Rankings updated with two Bout 10s still active.

Sent out the early rounds for Bout 11s. Good luck everyone.

[flexmaster33]

Von Kaiser scores an early KO in the Bout 11 set to help his case for getting over the final cut line. Also, he now has a tourney best four knockout wins.

[flexmaster33]

Sent out the middle rounds for Bouts 11...

FYI, I'm heading out of town for a few days, so updates may be sparse until I get back late in the week

[flexmaster33]

Still one active bout in the 11 set, but sent out the early rounds for Bout 12...last chance to make your move into the top six on the money list to go into the Final Stage of this tourney.

good luck, all

[flexmaster33]

Thanks for the heads up Shoop

On Bout 12s I had those invites out under the wrong tourney.

Half the bouts were already joined, so I will just remember where to find them when updating the scorecards.

The other half of the bouts have been resent under the right tourney heading.

My apologies.

[flexmaster33]

Don Flamenco and Piston Hurricane each won by KO in bout 12...for Don Flamenco that secures him the #1 ranking and a spot in the initial World Championship bout.
