if this is done with the suggested weight classes we can do it a number of ways:

based solely on user numbers these would be the initial title holders and the rest is up for grabs:
Heavyweight: España
Light-Heavyweight: Polska
Middleweight: Hellas
Welterweight: România
Lightweight: Österreich

or it can be done by separating by active users and then using the current NT rankings:
Heavyweight: Italia
Light-Heavyweight: China
Middleweight: Brasil
Welterweight: Canada
Lightweight: Nigeria

obviously this can be done a number of ways. all i know is that the current unofficial heavyweight belt is not as inclusive as it can be, which is what it's original intention was.

Well let's go with user numbers. 'Weight' is decided on the day of the game. Acworth, would you be interested in being assistant commissioner?

As you may have noticed, I'm on-board with this idea, and the original thread has been closed.

el macca has asked Acworth and I to maintain this, so I'll gladly do so.

Later tonight early tomorrow we'll finalize it all.

aside from the NT rankings which everyone can see there is the active user list which regular users would have to go through each country page. a very long process to say the least. but when i did that this morning Lithuania had 1,181 active users putting them at #4 behind Spain, Italy, and France.

I know someone who could possibly have a tool that can sort countries by number of users...

I think this is a really good idea, but it might create some headaches. Can middleweights only play middleweights? Or if the lightweight belt holder loses against a supercruiserweight, does he lose his belt?

After typing that, I guess the answers to my questions would be No and No. You only put the belt up for defense when you play a team in your weight class, and of course you can play anyone anytime. Some holders might dodge games against weight class opponents, but most probably won't.

Anyway, great idea El Macca and major kudos to GM-JuicePats for nobly getting on board.

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.

Or maybe a belt can go no higher than its "true" level, but teams can play up and take belts higher than their level.

For instance, if a Welterweight nation (Canada) beat a Light-Heavyweight nation (China), Canada takes the Light-Heavyweight belt. The belt is then up for grabs any time Canada plays a nation Light-Heavyweight and below. So, if Canada played the USA in qualifying and lost, it would retain the Light-Heavyweight belt, but if it played Puerto Rico and lost, Puerto Rico would take the belt.

This allows tiny countries the thrill of taking the big belts without worrying about the risk that all the belts will end up in Italy's hands.


That's probably going to be the plan.
