Matchmaking
Once you have created an event and the members have been added to the match list, you can match the fighters.
First, log on to myfightbook.com
In the menu on the left, click on Events.
On the list of events, find the one you want to match fighters in.
On the event site, click on the wrench in the right-hand corner and click on Fight Mixing in the drop-down menu.
You will now see a blank page, where you have got a list of filtration options at the top, as well as your fighters in the bottom, under the section Unassigned Fighters.
On this site, you must now choose exactly which fighters you are looking for, by changing the different filtration options at the top. Choose fight class and weight class, how many matches should be created, and how large the difference in fighting experience can be.
When you have selected all your parameters, the system will now automatically match up fighters against each other, for as many matches as you’ve chosen, or until there are no more fighters left. You can rearrange these matchups as you would like, as long as they are still living up to the parameters you have decided on.
Once you are happy with the matchups, you can click save. The matches are now saved and stored up until the event, where after weigh-in, the matches will be saved by checking off the checkbox to the left of the matchup.
Tip: If you want to match the fighters randomly, set your parameters in the top and press re-roll in the right-hand corner. This will mix the non-saved matches, which allows you to create random matchups, until you’re happy with the result.
Once you are happy with a randomly paired matchup, click on the lock-icon to lock the matchup, and continue re-rolling until you are happy with all the matches.
Be aware that you might need to scroll down the page slightly in order to see all the matchups for larger events.
Not sure whether you have done it all correctly just before the first match starts?
- Look at the bottom section, under unassigned fighters, to see if there are more than 1 unassigned fighter.
- Make sure that the matches have a green checkmark on the left-hand side, and that you can add a result on the right-hand side of the match.
- If you want to make sure that everything is saved, click on the lock-icon on all matches. This way, no matches are changed, no matter what is clicked on, until they are unlocked again.
