After each event, new ranking polls will be submitted for each weight class.  The polls will remain open for 5 days while you all vote on the fighters.  You CONTROL the rankings! 

You vote for the fighter(s) you think should be ranked.  The fighter at the end of the poll that have the highest voting % will be #1.  The second highest voting % will be designated #2 and so on.

At the close of the weight class, the #1 fighter from each weight class will be submitted to our Pound for Pound rankings and voting will commense for 5 days on this ranking.

Your participation is crucial in providing good rankings to the MMA Community.  After all, rankings should be community controlled and we are giving you the power, please abuse it!

You won't be able to start new topics but can reply to the polls in the individual weight class forums.  You are free to discuss how rankings work or suggest ideas in this general rankings forum.

This is great. I know a few other sites that do this.

If the rankings are slanted though, will you step in and make any obvious executive decisions?

As soon as the member participation is at a little higher rate.

If it's really obvious, we'll go to a staff vote.  The idea is to have high member participation so it won't be an issue.
