Some Rules worth noting re: MDT. (Champions must respond in this thread.

1. If you are a participating champion you must decide now IF you are participating in the tourney with the intent to unify your title with others...or to be a wimp and participate in "non title" fights. This is an available choice for WBC,WBA,IBF, and WBO title holders. THE IBO WILL DECIDE FOR ITSELF WHAT IT WILL DO REGARDING IT"S OWN BELT.

2. FOR THE PURPOSE OF THIS TOURNEY ONLY.....THE IBO BELT MAY BE UNIFIED WITH ANOTHER BELT. However after the tourney is complete....the owner of the IBO belt must decide if they wish to keep the very shiny IBO belt...or if they wish to keep their major belt.

The WBO title will be brought into the MDT.

Armstrong is bringing his belt in. It's not going to unify all the belts most likely, but it really gives the chance for guys that might never have a chance to win a belt a shot. It adds to the fun as well. Aside the tournament champion, you also have titles floating around.

Naz will be bringing his IBF title to the MDT

Jem has decided to join the MDT.....

He will NOT bring his WBA title in. He just loves the look of it in his trophy case.

However.....his mandatory..... post MDT...will be decided not by me...but be put to a vote by all managers via a thread devoted to that topic.

And that is it for the Championship status......(I think the IBO has injected themselves into this as well. So it appears that the MDT will produce a fast track toward eventual unification and the winner will have some serious credibility in the wake of this.)
