Frequently Asked Questions

The administrators of this site are MMA fans just like you. Sometimes the person in charge of updating the stats for the site may go out with some friends to watch the fights and won't get home until a few hours afterwards. We know you want to see the results... they will be done in less than 24 hours of an event, that's the earliest we can promise and still stick to it every time. On other occasions though, the stats may be updated within minutes after the final fight of the night has taken place.

With the addition of the Secondary League to MMAPlayground we now have an outlet for the more serious MMA fans that appreciate the value and talent of organizations other than the UFC and Pride. However, there is still some debate on what organizations should be included. At this point we are deciding whether to include an organization's event based on user feedback, event viewing availability, and general public opinion on the caliber and researchability (is that a word?) of the event's participants.

Most pay-per-view fight cards have their undercard bouts taking place hours before the live fights are shown on television. In order to make sure someone at the event isn't able to enter in a pick after the fight has actually taken place, we lock events hours before they are actually viewable by the general public. Additionally, we wouldn't want someone with some insider or first-hand information on a fighter to have any potential advantage over the rest of the users. Email reminders are sent out to all active site members 1-2 days before an event takes place to remind everyone to get their picks locked in.

Please refer to the rules page for a more detailed explanation of this and the forum behavior code.

As of season 2 here on the Playground, all fight camps are ranked in their respective divisions. This ranking procedure takes place after each event is done. During this rank procedure, fight camp sizes are updated. It is done this way for 2 reasons: 1) the fight camp ranking procedure is fairly resource intensive, thus is only done after an event takes place. 2) Fight camps routinely add and remove members and alter their camp size. As such, a camp may move from one division to another. In an effort to avoid the potential confusion of having two or more camps in a division with the exact same rank (1 or more of them being carried over from a prior camp division), we updated everyone's camp member count at the time of the rankings update.

This is simply an in-site mail system that you can use to communicate privately with other members of the site, kind of like sending them an email.

This is a title that changes based on how many posts you've made in the forums. Premium members and moderators can customize this title however they wish.

Just like fighters have camps, teams, and associations with other fighters, you can form a "camp" of your own here on MMAPlayground.com. You can join someone else's camp if they invite you, or you can form your own camp to invite friends from real life or that you may make on the site to join the game and play alongside you. Each camp has its own private event stats, a private message board, and more, and is a fun way to experience the game with a group of friends, workmates, or forum-mates. Your camp association will be shown on your profile and by your username when you post in the forums. In the future prizes and/or awards of some type may be given out to camps based on some sort of group competition.

If you go to My Private Mailbox then click the link titled "Blocked List" you will be able to enter the username of anyone on the site that you do not wish to receive communications from and they will be blocked.

Simply visit the "My Fight Camp" page and click the link found at the bottom right of the page that is titled "Leave This Camp". If you are a fight camp leader you must first make someone else fight camp leader or disband the fight camp in order to leave.

If you are a fight camp leader you will see a link visible on your "My Fight Camp" page near the top titled "Camp Control Panel". From this control panel you can invite members to your camp, update your camp avatar and slogan, remove camp members, make someone else camp leader, or disband your camp. If you wish to delete any messages from your camp message board simply click the link found near the bottom left of each message entry that will either say "Delete Post" or "Delete Topic".

If a fight is declared a draw or no contest at the time of the fight, this bout will simply not be calculated into the points, ranking, or earnings. The result and scoring from a fight that is overturned at a later date (steroids, Mary-J, etc) will remain on the website. Asking someone to send back their per-event prize so that we can send it to someone else due to a scoring change isn't something we're up for. Plan and play accordingly! This game is based on who wins at the time of the fight.
