Each season, I am going to rename the divisions to honor some of the great MMA fighters we have seen over the years. This year, I am selecting 2 fighters that both pioneered the sport that we love, and gave us one of the best, and longest fight in MMA history.
So without further ado, I give you....
The Gracie Division, and the Sakuraba Division.
1st draft is between Bloodsport and RamRod to determine division placement. Heads is RamRod, tails is Bloodsport. Winner is placed into Gracie division.
<coin toss> (verified by my coworker)
.....tails. Bloodsport is placed into the Gracie division, and RamRod is placed into the Sakuraba division.
2nd draft is between JCS and Unknown Assailiant. Heads is JCS, tails is Unknown Assailiant. Each draft selection will be placed into Gracie division 1st, and Sakuraba division 2nd.
<coin toss> (verified by coworker)
.....tails. UA is in Gracie, and JCS is in Sakuraba.
Gracie Division
Bloodsport
Unknown Assailiant
Sakuraba Division
RamRod
JCS
As I have only 8 teams left, I am going to split the 8 draw to one 5 draw and one 4 draw. Based on last season and GP results, the draw will be between:
TXS
Chute Boxe
KKJ
Wolfpack
JWS
Once again, the 1st name drawn will go into the Gracie Division, and alternate until all teams are selected. All names drawn are selected by my coworker, and verified by both myself and my boss.
1st draw(Gracie)...........Chute Boxe
2nd draw(Sakuraba).......KKJ
3rd draw(Gracie)...........TXS
4th draw(Sakuraba)........Wolfpack
5th draw(Gracie)...........JWS
Round 3! 1st name drawn in this round will go to Sakuraba and alternate from there.
Teams for this draw:
Fight Prophets
TXB
Grizzy Jiu Jitsu
Team Pride
Here we go!!!
1st pick(Sakuraba)......Fight Prophets
2nd pick(Gracie)........Grizzy Jiu Jitsu
3rd pick(Sakuraba).....TXB
4th pick(Gracie)........Team Pride
I give you the Divisions for Season 2 of the IJFL. If another team signs up before the deadline, they will be placed into the Sakuraba Division to round things out. Good luck to all Teams.

....Crap.....I missed AA. They would have been in the last draw, and I like the division of teams. I am going to place them in Sakuraba. If the majority of teams from the last draw (GJJ, Pride, TXB, Fight Prophets, are the ones that are affected by this decision) are cool with it I will leave them where they are. The alternative will be to re draw the last round. Team captains can let me know either here or via PM.

I may have to redraw the divisions. PA would have been in the 1st group draw, and moved Wolfpack down to the next one. I have to think about this.
