This event certainly showed the potential for the future of the sport. We fully enjoyed it, would have liked more fights though. To speed things up maybe you could use a similar idea to Brighton Model world, when the feathers have been loaded in the heavies that are in the next fight could be put in the arena by the door and left unarmed. If it was Mute the feathers could use it as a ramp and after the fight all the feathers are removed and the heavy have only got to be armed up.
With regards to the floor, I wouldnt want to raise Mutes front off the floor, we wounldnt stand a chance of getting under anyone. The main problem we had, besides ripping the floor up, is that we were grounding all over the place. in the last fight we spent most of the fight firing the flipper trying to get of a high spot in the arena.
One thought could be to put a couple of robots in the arena a few hours before the show and let they drive round, this might showwere the problem spots are.
