Background

Lightweight's Brian Foster and Ramsey Nijem were expected to fight on this card, however both were ruled out of the tournament when Foster was unable to get licensed by the New Jersey athletic commission, and Nijem was unable to gain clearance from a medical suspension. As a result, Johnny Case vs. Jason High was made, with the winner determining the 155 divisions final playoff participant.[2] On weigh in day however, the substitute fight had its own set back, as High missed the weight limit by 4.2 pounds, and the bout was scratched from the card all together. As a result, Case was awarded 3 points via walkover victory.[3]

    The point system consists of outcome based scoring and bonuses for an early win. Under the outcome based scoring system, the winner of a fight receives 3 points and the loser receives 0 points. If the fight ends in a draw, both fighters will receive 1 point. The bonus for winning a fight in the first, second, or third round is 3 points, 2 points, and 1 point respectively. For example, if a fighter wins a fight in the first round, then the fighter will receive 6 total points. If a fighter misses weight, then the fighter that missed weight will receive 0 points and his opponent will receive 3 points due to a walkover victory.[4]
