Gun to your head would you rather decide a match by:

Clinch

or

Ball grab?

I think this league is going to draw more viewers then liv golf. 

i don't see how / even the most casual golfer can tune into any golf evet be it PGA ,LIV, corn ferry etc  and immediately understand what they are watching/ most casual fans don't even understand folkstyle rules

UFC basically created an audience from nothing, it’s possible for a new sport to emerge.

But I don’t see how that happens without major rule changes.  Good luck explaining to casual viewers who “initiated the move,” or “not being passive isn’t about being aggressive, it’s about keeping your butt in the center,” or “the tie is broken by the guy who scored the most points with a single move”

it's going to be UWW FS rules with some exceptions.

i'm gonna do away with amplitude as criteria. last point scored is the only tie breaker. no one - not the athletes, fans, or coaches - wants to spend the last 30 seconds calculating. 

there's going to be 8 weights. closely aligned w/ existing UWW weights. 

 

guessing something like 145, 155, 165, 175, 190, 205, 220, HWT just since I doubt guys will want to cut for RAF. Could also see 135 being in there and combining 205 and 220 to a 210.
