It is an old story, maybe the oldest story in our books... When one Champion loses to the New Champion and on and on it goes...
Let it be known
In our first ever fight since the return to Simdom, Tommy Hearns defeated Jimmy McLarnin by points decision in sold-out Madison Square Garden, New York, New York and thus the Lineage was born!!!
Traditional Values:
1. No champion may be stripped of this honour unless he retires or is defeated by his opponent.
2. No champion will ever be "given" this honour unless he earns it.
3. We wish and hope that every champion that ever holds this belt will choose his challenger with sensibility but will be bound by no other code than his own set of values.
4. For we know and trust that no one has a greater capacity for decision making than a standing champion, regardless of how hard he was hit in his last defense of the Lineal title.
All SimRing/Lineal/Lonsdale combats will be scheduled for 15 rounds.
There are no guidelines other than the thoughtful decision of the standing champion as to who may vye for this honor. The standing champion makes his choice as to who is worthy by simply stepping into the ring with his chosen opponent. For this belt and honour denotes only actions that manifest into sim reality. We wish everyone good luck, good will, and good judgement.
Draws are unmanly and require special attention.
If a challenger should obtain a draw with a standing Lonsdale BeltHolder, said challenger shall be issued a Lonsdale belt of their own. These belts may be immediately reunified if both fighters are agreeable to a return match. However the challengers belt in this case is a eunuch belt and can not be acquired by any other combatant as it has no lineage of it's own. A eunuch belt may be reunified by a rematch with the holder of the primary belt at any point in time when and if such an event occurs. Otherwise the challenger will remain the owner of a eunuch belt until such time as the standing Lonsdale belt holder and the Eunuch belt-holder agree to compete. Draws are not encouraged. SimRing and Lonsdale officials feel that a sanctioned fight should be won or lost, not dithered.
So it is written. So it shall be done.
