Fantasy Organizations
Fantasy MMA Organizations are the entities that put on Fight Fight Cards (Events), pitting Fantasy MMA Fighters against each other on customized fight cards. They are the fantasy mma equivalent of the real-world counterparts such as Ultimate Fighting Championships (UFC), Pride Fighting Championships, Rage In The Cage (RITC), K-1 and others. You can tailor your organization to your desired specifications.
1. Organization Creation
When you select the option to create a new Fantasy MMA Organization, you will be taken through a short process to enter in the details. Select whether you would like your new organization to be password protected (private) or open for anyone to join (public). You are asked to enter in a name and description to uniquely identify what your org is all about.
The Org Type that you select for your organisation, either MMA, Striking, or Grappling, is the default type for the events that you will hold. This simply determines which methods can end the fantasy fights that make up your events. Striking events can end in TKO, KO, or Decision, Grappling events can end in Submission, or Decision, and MMA events can end in all methods. You can change the event type for each event when creating the event.
2. Fantasy Event Automation
You may decide to turn on Fight Card Automation for your Fantasy MMA Organization. If you decide to turn this on you will be asked to select which real-world Organizations, such as Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), Pride, or K-1, etc., will trigger the automatic creation of a new fight card for you fantasy mma organization.
This relieves you of the task of constantly creating fight cards for the fantasy fighters in your organization to compete. When any of the selected real-world organizations announces a new event, a new fantasy fight card will automatically be created for your organization, randomly assigning matches between fantasy fighters, and creating a bet card based on that real-world event.
When an event is automatically created for you, it randomly assigns fantasy fighters to fights taking into account any championships you may have created, #1 contenderships, and weight classes. It will also continue any existing tournaments, but will not create new tourneys.
3. Tournaments
You can create tournaments with fights spanning across multiple events.
You will be able to specify how many fighters will compete in the tournament, an optional weight class to set for all fights in the tourney, and an optional prize (championship, #1 contendership, etc) to award to the winner of the tournament. The prize is awarded to the winner automatically when the results are scored for the final round of the tournament.
Fights for your tournament are automatically created, with victories fighters from adjacent brackets facing off.
4. Scoring System
To compete in Makesport Fantasy MMA Mixed Martial Arts, fantasy fighters will predict the outcomes of real-world MMA fights. When you create a Fantasy Event you also create a Bet Card for this new event.
On the Bet Card you list which upcoming real-world Mixed Martial fights from Ultimate Fighting Championships (UFC), Pride Fighting Championships, K-1, etc, that you want to allow the fantasy fighters involved on the event to bet on.
The fantasy fighters predict the winner of each real-world fight on the bet card, method (KO, TKO, Submission, Decision), and the round number which the fight will end. They receive points for each they get correct, and the overall totals will be compared with that of their opponent to determine the fight winner.
You set how points you want each correct prediction to be worth, for Winner, Method, and Round. You can also set a requirement that the fantasy fighters must predict the correct winner before any points will be alloted for correctly predicting the method or round. You can also set whether TKO and KO will be two separate betting options, or if TKO and KO will be regarded as the same method and points will be awarded to users who bet one or the other and real-world fight bet on ended in either TKO or KO.
5. Rules
You also specify rules for your organisation. These largely only impact the random details assigned to each fantasy fight when the results are recorded. You can set how many rounds each fight can last, the lenght in minutes, and the moves that can be used in the random fight transcriptions generated for each.
6. Victory Magnitudes
When you create your fantasy mma organization, you are able to specify what you consider to Close, Solid, and Dominant victories and provide point ranges for each.
7. Weight Classes
You may create weight class divisions for your fantasy mma organization, or you may decide to use no weight classes. When creating a weight class, you specify the name of the class, and the weight upper bound and lower bound. These values will determine which fantasy fighters are in which weight class.
With weight classes, you may decided to allow fantasy fighters to compete against only other fantasy fighters in their same weight division. You may also decide to allow movement between weight classes by cutting or bulking up, with optional performance modifiers associated with doing so.
When assigning performance modifiers for cutting/bulking up, you may enter negative point values. This means that points will be deducted from the fantasy fighter's total score for any fight that he has cut/bulked weight to compete in.
8. Cross-Organization Competition
Fantasy Fighters from other organisations may choose to allow you to add them to events, even if they are not currently joined to your organisation.
Once you accept offers from other fighters, they will then appear as selectable options when creating an event.
