MARQUEE MATCHUPS / SCHEDULE RELEASE 2020

Marquee Matchups

It’s that time again…

In case you are new here or haven’t been paying attention for a few years, I’ll introduce you to how the series works.  I will select the matchups that catch my eye each week.  Each matchup will fit into one of the ten marquee categories in the list below (more to come?).  Also, new this year, we have two new categories. The first is called Clash of Champions which is just what it sounds like, and the second is called Playoff Preview which will look at a potential matchup that has a high probability of being run back for the playoffs.

The rules are simple. There can be more than one matchup per category each week (but I will do my best to diversify), and not every category will be represented. Some weeks may not have a single marquee matchup, so itโ€™s up to you to stir some shit up. ย Make some H2H wagers, talk some shit, etcโ€ฆ

If called upon, it is your job to create a piece of content for your opponent. The content must be in audio, video format with a short paragraph directed towards your opponent. The content does not have to be particularly good, so do not feel like you have to make Lord of the Rings 10 or anything. The bar for worst marquee matchup content has been set so low by Andy that no one will ever come close to beating it.

Have fun with it, cause after all that is what we are here for anyway right?

Wager Match (There is a side bet riding on the match to some degree)BUMFIGHTSย (The title pretty much says it all)
Win Drought (one GM has dominated the matchups historically)Challenger Approaches(Anyone can challenge anyone)
Clash of Champions (A H2H match with two of the IFL's previous Champions)Playoff Preview (Two teams that could very likely see one another again...)
