whats the +/- tolerance for the welter and middleweight animals? The more I think about it, 100-500 is pretty stupid for the middleweight category since the difference between 150 and 300 is monstrous.

I got the PM, but you should send it to someone else if you want it to have any chance of being posted before 2:30 PST tomorrow. I'm gonna send my pick to someone too... though I really would like to be around when it gets posted so I can participate in the follow up discussion.

I got it, but I'm off to bed soon so I probably won't be here when it gets to me. Will probably be back online around 11 or noon(West Coast Time), but if kbfc is here first then he can pick.

What would work better though? I mean yeah, the difference between 100 and 500 is ridiculous, but so is the difference between 25 and 100, and LOL the difference between 2 and 24. An 800 pound heavyweight is also LOL small. Every weight class already has a huge range, if we try to make the range of welterweight smaller, which class do we increase? The fact is that the range from bugs to rhinos is simply huge, and when you break it down into just five weight classes, you end up with some big spreads within the same class.

I don't want to change the classes right now as it could ruin some strategy. I know a couple animals I would have taken in round 2/3 if they were a little lighter/heavier but had to past on them.

And sent too.

Its just a tad annoying because there are certain animals that are clear welterweights, but they weight like 120-140. They are useless as middleweights, which really sucks.

well those are both interesting picks lol

I mostly agree, although I'm not quite sure what a "clear welterweight" is. If you add some of the animals I'm thinking of to the welterweight class, then some current welterweights lose any chance they had. Do you just say "they were clear lightweights" and repeat the problem? And I mean, I would think it was really weird if the Komodo Dragon went as a middleweight at 150, so we're not too far from the upper bound of how high welter should go imo. Good enough as is.

yeah I think 150 is a good max for Welterweight. Lightweight should be 35ish I think. I don't see any reason why there can't be some slight overlaps.

Or at the very least there is no reason why people shouldn't be able to lobby for their pick to fight in a certain class.

IMO in all fairness, BJJ should tell me his pick.

you'll see it later.

commish I'd like your input on my suggestion plz.

Don't start this weight class change yet please.

I want to debate this and I can't now. I had an animal around 150 that would dominate welter but loses all over. UIAWhdiauda sleep is for wusses.
