How to Play: All fighters that players want to add to their roster must be bid on starting on the Monday of each week that there is a Rizin FF card. Players are allowed to bid on any number of free agent fighters only during a week they are fighting on a Rizin FF card. Bids are done in an open auction. Highest bid wins. Ties in bids at the end of the time limit will go to a sudden death final private bid that is simultaneously revealed. Bidding deadline is one hour before the weigh-in. Any fighter missing weight will score zero points for a win in true Japanese MMA style but may lose points if they get finished. Their opponent scores points as normal. Once a fighter is on your roster he or she is yours for the entire season. Leave room in your budget to bid on fighters on upcoming cards. Figure about ten cards in a season, so you have about $15, more or less to spend on each card. You can pay dearly for champions or elite fighters to earn those championship or bonus points, but other players may earn points drafting more fighters for less waiver money overall.
