matman,

i responded to your post but the computer crashed. this is a repeat. sigh.

therefore, if Sefo was facing Mirko in the 1st round of the GP and beat him but then lost the semi he would still become the number 1 ranked heavyweight whereas if he wins the GP with the current draw he will remain number 2.

yes. that is how it would work.

Felix, you still haven't responded to my previous comment about your system being incompatible with the way the K-1 works. (and yes I do know that your system attempts to rank all heavy weights, not just K-1 fighters - I'm just saying that you should have a separate K-1 ranking where you count all of the fights in a tournament)

that would help people like jason get recognition, wouldn't it? unfortunately, whenever i am requested to consider second and third fights of an evening certain visions flash before my eyes. mirko limping to the ring to lose to bernardo. lebanner knocking out aerts but in no condition to meet hoost in the next round. abidi losing to aerts and then losing to sefo in the same night.

even fights that appear to be between fresh fighters are doubtful. did filho defeat iggy or did filho and pettas defeat him together? no one can answer that question with 100% certainty. did hoost beat lebanner last year or did hoost, hunt and musashi do it together?

someone like jason is just unlucky in the draw. maybe a 5 round match against a higher ranked fighter would be good for his career and his ranking on my list. does that answer your question?

thanks oliver.

thanks sandy.

thanks brian.
