Bounty Hunters II

(Credit to grapple for finding the link to the first Bounty Hunters: http://www.mmarmy.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=201262&page=1)




A unique competition that debuted last year, Bounty Hunters is returning on Monday, June 6th.

The original Bounty Hunters was an eight-week competition that required players to accumulate points by executing bounties; in other words, players would earn points by winning in a number of different, often bizarre ways. Here are some examples of possible bounties:

* Seek out opponents with particular appearance traits--an afro, an Art Jimmerson glove, a Brock Lesnar sword tattoo--and defeat them.

* Defeat opponents of a particular nationality.

* Win in a particular way, whether by first-round finish or split decision.

* Beat any undefeated fighter (with at least 1 victory) or any fighter with 50+ losses.

* Move up in weight to defeat an opponent.

In addition to these one-point regular bounties, Bounty Hunters also offered ten-point special bounties: these bounties were much more difficult and required more work on the player's behalf. Some examples:

* Defeat a fighter with the same first and last name as a current NBA player.

* Defeat the fighter ranked #666.

* Defeat a fighter after losing to him in three consecutive previous fights.

Both regular and special bounties would change weekly; on Monday of each week, players would receive their regular and special bounty, and would try to get as many points as possible (both are repeatable) before Saturday's PM session ends.

On Sunday, there would be no points given for fights; players would instead have to PM me links to their successful bounties over the week, and I would tally up the points before posting a new regular and special bounty for the upcoming Monday.

On select weeks, player bounties would take the place of regular and special bounties. Player bounties were simple: each player would be PM'd the name of the camp of another player, and they would be charged with defeating that player as many times as possible. For every victory, they would add points to their total and subtract points from their opponent. This would help level the playing field.

The Bounty Hunters leaderboard would be updated weekly, until a winner--Decommissioner--was crowned.

That was Bounty Hunters I.

Bounty Hunters II will be, in many ways, similar. We will retain the eight-week schedule, going from June 6th until July 31st.

We will retain the regular, special, and player bounties (though Bounty Hunters II will feature all-new bounties).

But there's one caveat: even though Bounty Hunters II will crown a single winner, the majority of the tournament will be team-based. Players will join or be assigned to one of four teams, named after four of the greatest fighters in MMArmy history:

Team Skip Lange
Team Cookie Monster
Team Waaassuuuuuup
Team Pito Cruz

Players will play individually, but the points they earn will initially be factored into team averages.

On 6/6/11, we begin with four teams. After two weeks, the team with the lowest average score will be eliminated from the competition. The same thing will happen at the one-month and six-week marks, until we have only one team remaining. Then, the players on the winning team will battle it out in the final two weeks to crown an individual winner.
