INTRODUCTION:
I put this idea forward in the chatbox a few days ago to some of the other posters in this section and they thought it was an alright idea.
This is in suggestions mode! I want to make sure that not only people actually would like to play this, but also that it's as good as it can be. If you have any suggestions, please post!
The idea came to me pretty randomly and another poster mentioned how this could work especially because it's a smaller, quicker and simpler variant of the drafts.
I don't want to eliminate the drafts from the section or anything, but I think that if we incorporate this similar-yet-different game, there are some things to do while posters/players are picking their superstars for their custom roster.
And I understand the similarities between Be The Booker and this idea; but this tournament style idea is competitive, comparative and intended for fun!
CONCEPT:
Whoever is running the season* will choose a specific year of WCW or WWE starting at January and ending in December. Eight posters will sign up to play. Each round will consist of four PPVs (3 rounds total).
It will run like current-day WWE Raw does. It's basically just one big roster.
It's quite simple - every player has the exact same roster - whichever superstars, divas, and on-air personalities were signed to appear in the real life chosen year, and you book only the PPVs. You don't book the shows inbetween, like Raw, Smackdown, Nitro, ECW, etc.
For example, if we chose 2013, we will have wrestlers such as Orton, Cena, Punk, Bryan, AJ and maybe even NXT talent like Zayn, Graves, Rusev, Neville and Paige.
However, because the year is 2013, the rosters will not have legends like Hogan, Austin, Rock, Hart, Michaels.
*I'll run the first season if this is well received and people want to play it. As usual, whoever wins will choose the roster.
HOW MUCH CUSTOMISATION WILL THERE BE?
There isn't any customisation of the rosters. You're allowed to use as many superstars/divas as you wish, and whichever ones you wish. There will however be a minimum of matches for each different PPV, and gimmick matches like the Royal Rumble will still exist.
You can choose whatever championships you would like to use on the show, and how many.
To elaborate on this, if the year was 2013, you can have all main roster championships for defence if you really want to. Be mindful that excessive title defences may be harmful to your cards!
RATING/VOTING, PROGRESSION:
When a player posts their first round of PPVs (either three or four), every other person - player or observer - will be allowed to 'vote' on their PPVs, and the person with the highest scores will continue to the next round.
You will not be rating a posters' combination of PPVs. You will rate each PPV separately. IE, 9/10 for the Royal Rumble, 7/10 for the Elimination Chamber, and 9/10 for the WrestleMania. The total score is 25/30, which is then added up with other voters after a day or two period. The one with the lowest score is eliminated. You must vote on all players' cards or none; and every person participating must vote on each others cards honestly!
Anyway I don't want the OP to be longer in-case it scares people off or people would prefer not to play. So any questions, don't hesitate to ask/post here. Same with suggestions like I said before.
