General Rules
- The forum is run and maintained by the Board of Directors. One member of the board has the authority to ban, delete or edit your details if you break the rules or show disrespect. Unless stated, this can be appealed to the board as a whole, where a final decision will be made.
- A specialist group of writers are responsible for writing the matches. Please keep opinions of how the match was written to yourself. You may ask to become a writer by sending a sample of your match writing skills to the President, the Vice-President or the General Manager. They will then get back to you as soon as they have the chance.
- The board members are always available for problems and match requests, but please only send one message. If you flood the board’s inboxes with messages, you are more likely to be ignored.
- You must show respect to all members of the board at all times.
- All OOC (Out of Character) posts are to take place in the general forum, with the exceptions being if specifically asked to attend a disciplinary hearing by the board, or if a board member wants feedback and states it is OOC. RPs and OOC posts must be kept separate, and violators of this rule will receive one warning before an automatic suspension of one week. Your case will then be reviewed by the board, and they will determine if further action is necessary.
- Kayfabe roleplays shall be tolerated - but only on confirmation that permission has been granted to mention other handler’s characters before posting said roleplay.

Wrestlers

- You are allowed a MAXIMUM of 2 wrestlers. Multiple accounts are permitted to avoid confusion between each of your wrestlers. Tag Teams handled by one person shall be counted as a single wrestler.
- All wrestlers MUST be created, and no real life wrestler will be allowed.
- You must stick exactly to the application forms in the job application area.
- A wrestler’s name must not be rude, offensive or cause offence in any way. If you break this rule, we will delete your account and ask you to create another one, or simply change your name.
- Picture Bases cannot be duplicated. Please try not to use somebody already used elsewhere.
Roleplays
- When Roleplaying for matches, they should be at least 400 words in length. Not reaching the 400 words will result in your roleplay not counting.- Match Roleplays must be 1200 words MAXIMUM. If you want to do a longer roleplay – please split it into two.
- Character development matches will have no limit on words. They are sometimes a necessity, and definitely help the writers understand your character further.
- Excessive use of rude/abusive language in a roleplay is not permitted, even though that it may just be the persona of your character.
- You are only allowed to have a certain number of roleplays per match, which will be displayed on the card for those weeks’ matches. If you go over the roleplay limit, the only ones which will be judged are the ones that are inside the limit. For example, if the limit is 3 posts, and you make 5, only your first three will be counted – the rest will be deleted and ignored.
- The roleplays are judged by the President and Vice-President. If both disagree, voting shall be put to the board in a diplomatic style. This prevents bias. The decision of the board is final, and complaining will not change it. Instead, look to see where you could’ve improved, and seek to rectify it for the next week.
- If a board member is handling a character – they MAY NOT vote on their match. This also helps to prevent bias.
- The judging criteria is: length, spelling and grammar, originality and the “X” factor. The “X” Factor is something which makes your roleplay particularly memorable. Please note that writing a 10 page roleplay is great, but if it’s not entertaining, it may not score as highly as some other roleplays. Also, the board will rather read one top-quality roleplay than five rubbish ones.
- Match Codes help the board in voting for matches. If you don’t include your code, then the roleplay may be looked over as a Non-Match roleplay.
- You may use another wrestler in your RP, with the permission of the handler. The exception is a jump attack, but you cannot have the other wrestler acting in any way to which they normally do. If in doubt, ask a board member. Jump attacking with the intention to kill/retire a superstar will result in an automatic suspension.
- Non-Card Roleplays are encouraged, whether to develop a character, develop a rivalry, or simply to make yourself known to the board.
- Extreme acts of violence are not allowed in Roleplays.
- Jump attacks on board members are not permitted without first obtaining permission.
- Please stay out of rivalries which don’t concern you – you are simply spoiling a storyline that may have been planned for months if you decide to intervene with a hasty RP.
- Sandbagging – Sandbagging is a term used for waiting until the last minute to barrage the roleplay arena with roleplays to win your match. Therefore, if no other roleplays have been made by your character in the allotted five days – then ONE roleplay shall be permitted on the final day.
Matches
- Matches are usually scheduled a week in advance, but may be made at any time.
- The board are the only people permitted to create a match.
- Match suggestions are to either be placed in the general forums, in the Roleplay forums in character, or sent via PM to a board member.
- Match writers should keep extreme violence out of matches, unless the match is a hardcore-style bout.
- “Dark” Matches may be made, to take place at any time, but it must be approved by a board member. Also, don’t expect to have a “Dark” match written for you – the writer’s have enough on their plate with the scripted matches.

Other Rules to note

- The Board’s decision is FINAL. Arguments will not be tolerated. You may make your feelings known – but please do so in the appropriate fashion. Private messaging shall do.
- There will be, for now, one show per week (“Turbo”), and one Pay Per View at the beginning of each month. All events should be scheduled on the calendar, which should be completed for at least a month ahead of this week’s show.
- The Board reserve the right to hire, fire, ban and suspend anyone they see fit to do so.
- The board may change the rules WITHOUT notice, so keep reading this thread for updates and changes.
- If you break the rules, the appropriate punishments will be made. No matter what rule you break, you will be Personal Messaged and/or emailed by a member of the board, stating your crime, preliminary punishment and date until which you have to appeal.
- If you are suspended, you may make ONE appeal to the board. This verdict is final, and may NOT be appealed.


If you have queries about these rules, please don’t hesitate to private message Pepper Davis or James Hayes. If you wish to suggest any ideas to the board, please put them forth in the Suggestion Box forum.
