Welcome to Fringe’s Summer Slam Snake Draft!!!
:gameon

Some folks may be new to the concept of a snake draft, but do not fret. It's relatively simple, fun, and requires minimal commitment in comparison to the traditional auction draft.
This is a turn-based draft, and will begin with 8 open slots for players. If there are more than 8 people who are serious about playing, then I’ll consider bumping up to 12.
Since there have been a few dropouts in previous drafts, and this is my first time hosting, only established members of the forum may participate. This does NOT mean premium members only, but members who have been here for a respectable length of time.
Once every place on the roster is filled, this will be the discussion and trade thread. I will create a separate thread exclusively for draft picks.

A snake draft is defined as such:
A snake draft is defined as such:
Owners participate in each round of the draft by taking turns selecting players in a snake draft format (i.e., 1-8, 8-1, 1-8, etc.).
Each team drafts one player per round until all roster slots are full.

Drafting:
Drafting:
Draft order will be randomized and assigned immediately after registration has ended. Afterwards, each player has a maximum of 18 hours to draft.
When posting your draft pick, please remember to tag the next player in line to keep the Snake Draft rolling.
If they have not drafted after 18 hours, the next person is able to draft and it will continue.
If you miss one round, you can pick two the next round. You can only do this TWICE. If you miss three rounds a replacement may be discussed.
Maximum roster size is 24. Therefore, there will be 24 rounds overall, done on Monday through Friday. On some days I might say, bump up your picks to 2 just to keep the pace going. While drafting is fun, the real action begins with creating a card. My goal is to reach that point within about 3-4 weeks.
Trades are enabled at any time. To trade, use the discussion thread or cb. Both parties must confirm the trade in thread for it to be official.

Picks:
Picks:
Any wrestler or wrestling personality you can think of is able to be drafted. This includes managers or even guest stars like Cyndi Lauper or Donald Trump.
You may pick characters from CZW and Lucha Underground and mix them with old school Mid-Atlantic Wrestling if you wish. The only limit is your imagination.
One gimmick per wrestler. If someone picks Ricochet you cannot pick Prince Puma.
This does mean, however, you can utilize any gimmick any wrestler has ever used.
AMENDMENT to TAG TEAM picks:
In order to address previous players' concerns, and also help move the draft process along faster, established Tag Teams of two (2) wrestlers may be picked together (ex: Steiner Bros., Road Warriors). A player may only use this privilege once every other round. This will only count as one pick, no need to skip a round.
This amendment applies only to "established" tag teams. Rock n' Sock Connection or HBK/HHH is fine, as they actually had multiple Tag Team title runs. You cannot draft CM Punk and Stone Cold together, for example. Additionally, any team chosen must exclusively be used together on the card. This includes Trades, and winner picks after the first round of cards. Splitting them up would grant too much of an unfair advantage.

Matches:
With a max roster of 24, you may have up to 12 matches on your card.
Any individual wrestler (aside from Tag Teams, per above) may be used a maximum of TWO times per show.
REPEAL of Stipulation Restrictions.

That's right, if you want to create a card full of Texas Death Matches, or nothing but Women's matches (or both!), follow your bliss. Let's see how wild your cards can get...
My hope is this repeal will allow your imaginations to flourish and add a new element of surprise to the drafts. Let the voters decide how much is too much.

Voting:
Voting:
Once the draft ends, and the cards are made and turned in, you the Wrestling Forum universe have the power to decide which card is the best.
Points will be awarded +4 from participants, and +3 for non-participants. Campaign if you wish. More visitors to the Drafts is a good thing. Each vote must be accompanied by a brief comment in the thread to be valid. A few substantive sentences will suffice.
Something like “Fringe more my type of card” isn’t going to cut it, however. :CITO
Additionally, you must vote on each card. Where I have loosened other rules, I am tightening up on voting to help address players' concerns. No Snake Dissin' in this draft, frawends.
Thank you for your interest, feel free to PM with any questions or concerns. Looking forward to a great end of summer Snake Draft!!!
