"other 80% that aren't in the tourney" hmmmmm, I must have misses that Medfair with all of the fighters. I will be surprised if you can find 8 on Friday

As soon as they clear the Field, the first pair comes out, is introduced by the Herald and lays on.  Now this is where we need to use some WWE-type showmanship and time management.  As the Fighters fight, the Rope Walkers serve as colour commentators, keeping the spectators motivated and informed.  After 4 bouts, we are down to 4 Fighters and very quickly move into the Semis, and then into the Final.  Now if only the BCS could figure this out J
