Without meaning to hog the discussion -

I think that a no-show or an inability to perform for a competition fight should be a forfeit, doesnt disadvantage the crowd as they neednt know.

This means that the competitive edge is kept for those wanting to be competitive, and for those less competitive, can opt out of fights they are un-prepared for or hesitant of taking on - and do a more friendly one instead.

It also increases pressure on people to attend all of the events.

Another topic - Jonno was talking about three fights per event only, because of the doubts about enough machines to fill 4 shows.
Our Survey says : Just you worry about filling the seats - and have more faith.

Just my thoughts.
