*Team owners will vote on when female divisions will joining.
* Amongst the many current issues that the WFL will aim to remedy is extreme weight cutting.
* Each team will compete in six regular season competitions alternating between home and away events with four weeks between regular season competitions and five weeks between playoff competitions.
* Each event will have eight fights, one bout at each weight class between a home team athlete vs. away team athlete.
* Every fight will have a total of four points available (four points for a finish win, three points for a decision win, two points for a draw, one point for a decision loss, zero points for finish loss).
* Highest team total wins the league championship, however, the individual weight-class results determines who advances to the playoffs and their respective seeding.
- I am told WFL officials have been meeting with a lot of prospective owners lately. Potentially, some recognizable faces to MMA fans will be attached.
