EWWA part 3 From: themagpie@aol.com (The Magpie) Date: Thu, 02 Jun 1994 04:26:07 +0000 IX But how do you know who the "highest-ranked eligible contender" is? Whichever one has the highest rating. All wrestlers start out with a rating of zero. After each match, the winner gains 10 points, and the loser drops 10. Also before each match, a handicap of 20% of the difference (but never more than 9) is transferred from the higher-ranked to the lower-ranked wrestler. (If there is a tie, they draw cards to decide.) X How are matches set? Each of your wrestlers and tag-teams may issue one challenge per week. (This does not limit them to one match; they may receive more by being challenged.) Challenges may be made to any wrestler, with three exceptions: (1) A wrestler with a negative rating may not challenge a champion. (Also, only the first two challenges to each will be accepted. If you submit one, also submit an alternate.) (2) A challenge may not be made to a wrestler whose rating is more than 40 points inferior. (3) Two wrestlers run by the same player cannot challenge each other. (This also bars a wrestler from challenging herself.) XI How many wrestlers may I have? Four. A tag-team made up of two wrestlers who also compete in singles counts as two; a tag-only team counts as one. (For instance, you can have four singles wrestlers paired off in two tag teams; or three singles wrestlers, two of whom also compete in tag matches, and a tag-only team.) In addition, you may have one team consisting of one of your wrestlers and one managed by someone else (of like or adjacent alignment). When such a "mixed" tag team is created, one of the players must be designated to send in its challenge each week. XII What about supercards? We have four each year: Battle Imperial (a Royal Rumble-style event on the third Saturday in September); Christmas Crunch (on the Monday after the second Saturday in December); Survivor Showdown (on St. Patrick's Day); and Bikini Bash (in June, the day before the Belmont Stakes). The move rerolls take place just before each supercard. Sites for the first series of supercards are: 1994 Battle Imperial Victoria Park, Melbourne, Australia Christmas Crunch I Dudley Field, Nashville, TN 1995 Survivor Showdown Stadio Montjuic, Barcelona, Spain Bikini Bash I Convention Center, Atlantic City, NJ XIII How do I cheat? Either by submitting an illegal move or instructions to the wrestler or manager. In any case, roll 2d6 and check the following list: Doubles Cheat succeeds and gains d12 points (on 12, a win by DQ or countout) 9 Cheat backfires and loses d12 points 5 Cheating attempt noticed; cheater disqualified Other No effect XIV How much does all this cost? Only what your Internet connection costs; I am not charging anything for this league. Up
