Editorial Note from kds13: I apologize for getting these up so late. Midterms have kicked my ass, but I just finished my last one and came straight to the computer to throw this up. I appreciate everyone's patience. Also, BIG UPS to Biowza and Plazzman...these dudes did the heavy lifting and tabulated all the votes. Rep 'em if you can. They deserve it

----------------------


So here's the deal. We had paid members rank their Top 10 in each Division, HW to LW. With a set scoring system, we compiled their Rankings and gave them a point value. The fighter with the highest point total became the #1 fighter and so on. The number in parenthesis next to each fighter is the # of Points they received.

Here's the scoring system:
So, without further ado...
