How many Fleaweight World Series events have happened?

Post by joey_picus »

As the title says - I am currently (at long last) constructing a Team Picus website and it has struck me that there doesn't seem to be a set numbering system for fleaweight competitions, them generally being held during the break of an AWS. As they're a weight class in their own right, in my opinion they should at the very least have numbers to the competitions and a list of champions hosted somewhere (which I don't just say because I'm inexplicably one of them!).

My best guesses are that we're on eight to ten FWSes so far, but I was wondering if someone with more knowledge than me could give a more definitive answer? (I came to eight by assuming there had been two prior to AWS 30 - which I believe Craig won one and Dave Lawrie the other although there's probably more - and then the AWS 30, 32, 33, 34, 35, and 36 competitions, although that's just counting ones held at AWSes...this could get complex, heh :))

I seem to recall dave Lawrie saying at AWS 34 that because we now have so many flea weights it should from then on be a FWS because we'd never really called it that before. So by that logic, FWS 1 was divinity, FWS 2 was tesla and FWS 3 was catatonia.

I'd go with that. Before that, there's only really been on/off competitions. AWS18 had a pretty good fleaweight turnout, but I don't think we did a seperate competition for them. Other AWS's have held FWS's, but they have tended to be a single battle or 3 battles, there never really being more than about 4 enteries. I'd be happy to count AWS34 as the first officially numbered competition, as it was the first to have a decent turn-out, or that it was taken more seriously as a competition. Though I don't really care about numbers personally, it would be nice to some sort of "champions chart" of first, second and third somewhere, like the antweight one on Oliver's site.
