I found this on the Full Contact Fighter website.



It looks like Chuck Norris is wanting to start a "league" of team-based Kickboxing competition, similar to how amateur wrestling teams compete. This is a trial run of 8 teams to see if the league will fly. Here is a quote from the article...


"How does the WCL work? Teams consist of seven members, pre-matched by weight and sex with their opposing team. Each competitor fights one three-minute round against his or her challenger and is scored on a "modified five-point must" system. After all seven individual rounds have concluded, a half-time period allows coaches to strategize and prepare their athletes for a second and final round with the same opponent (fighters KO or TKOed do not continue on). Final scores are tallied at the end to determine the victorious team.

Jabs, crosses, hooks, uppercuts, back fists and spinning backfists above the waist are a go; clinching, wrestling, sweeping, or throwing are a no-no. Knees to the head are allowed above the waist and to the front and side of the torso. Roundhouse kicks may be delivered to the inside and outside of the front leg, above the knee. All competitors wear Commission-approved gloves and padded shin, instep, and foot protection commonly utilized in American kickboxing events.

With bouts held in a specially designed circular ring surrounded by a 10-inch lip that is elevated 18 inches off the ground, the WCL's 2006 season of eight teams will also host playoffs and a "Crystal Glove" championship to crown the "toughest city."
