IV How do I know who wins?
        I tell you ;).

V OK wiseguy, how do YOU know who wins??
        First, each move has a point score (from 0 to 10 for singles
moves and from 0 to 6 for tag moves).  Actually, it has two: one
changes only 4 times a year (and then by no more than 3 points per
singles move or 2 per tag move); the other is generated anew each
week.  To decide a wrestler's score, I add the values of her moves to
get a total from 0 to 180, and then add a 2d6 roll (which is rerolled
each week).  For tag teams, add the two members' individual scores
for that week and the values of their tag moves (if they have four,
drop the lowest).  Also add a d8 to the score of each tag-only team;
but if one of its members winds up in a singles match (e.g. on a
supercard), there is a d8 penalty to his score.  Then apply any
cheating effects; higher score wins.

VI What's this "2d6" business?
        It means to roll two 6-sided dice, etc.

VII What can I win?
        Well, no money ("Can you tell this is no money?"--Rosie
O'Donnell).  Instead, there are championships at stake.  The most
prestigious is the Universal Championship, signified by a virtual
diamond tiara (no mere belts for us!)  Lesser titles are the Internet
(emerald), Ethernet (sapphire), and Altnet (ruby) championships,
which will not be created until we have a certain number of
wrestlers.  The tag-team universe works similarly.

VIII Who gets a title shot each week?
        There are several rules on that point.  First, if a champion
was just dethroned, she gets a rematch (unless she is getting a shot
at a higher crown).  However, when the title changes hands in a
rematch, the one-week champ does not get a re-rematch.
        Second, if a lesser champion makes four successful defenses
of her crown BY VICTORY (retaining on a draw does not count, while a
retention by DQ or countout loss counts as -1, and may result in
strippage if done to excess), she gets a shot at the next-higher
title.  If she wins, her former crown is vacated and it's tournament
time!  (If a rematch and promotion match are earned in the same week,
the rematch rule takes precedence; but the lower titlist will get her
shot the following week, even if she loses the tiara in the
meantime.)
        Finally, if neither of these rules applies, the
highest-ranked eligible contender gets the shot.  To be eligible, a
wrestler must not:
(1) be a champion, or be receiving a match for a higher title;
(2) have had title shots in both of the last two weeks; or
(3) have had a shot for that particular title the previous week.
        Also note that a selected challenger may refuse; the next one
in line will then challenge.
