    I don't envisage that they will be inducted by weights after the original intake. This prevents the flat approach Saintpat describes - if there are ten Middles to be inducted before the next Bantam, that's what will happen.

    So how many total fighters would you like to see inducted each year?

    In that case I have to propose affirmative action. 4 a year in general division and at least 1 a year from below 126.

    Three in total across all divisions seems a reasonable number.

    I think every year thereafter, after discussion, YOU should get to list as many fighters as you see fit, and then give everyone the chance to vote in up to half of them, and any fighter that gains 75% support gets in.


    So if you choose ten fighters, everyone gets up to five votes, and if twenty people voted, any fighter with fifteen or more votes gets in. And as an emergency backstop, if no one gets 75%, then the fighter with the most votes gets in (you could break a tie).

    Have you given any thoughts on who can vote? I'm just trying to think of how to avoid someone creating a bunch of alts or trolling.

    Anyone can vote, and I'll be keeping an eye out for both trolls and alts.

    In the end, they will be voting for fighters that have been nominated.

    I do think the idea of a larger inaugural class makes sense and isn't a bad idea, though. Eight (one per original 8) perhaps?
