Merry Xmas everyone.
Long term posters will know all about the draft, but for those with a bit less experience, each year, we run a competition known as the Pro-Wrestling Draft. The idea is simple enough; 15 people, over the course of 6-8 weeks, draft a dream roster of superstars and divas, managers and announcers, modern and vintage wrestlers, in a bid to create the ultimate collection of characters. After everyone has chosen, each person is invited to explain how they would book their roster, detailing storylines, matches, characters, etc.
This is the discussion thread for the upcoming 2015 draft. There will be three other threads made over the following weeks in which people can participate.
The sign-up thread will be posted on January 2nd (Friday week) at Midday. This topic will be where everyone signs up to participate. We have 15 slots, and we'll hold places for previous winners and organizers of the competition. Typically we have a few drop outs as well, so don't worry if you miss the first run of slots; we usually need a significant back up list as well :P
The Roster Picks Thread will open up once the sign-ups are done. We randomly pick the order for each round, some rounds will have special stipulations and bonuses. The rules will be in the roster thread to glance over.
The Evaluation thread will open during Round 10 of the drafting process, and we'll invite everyone to write up their shows. You get 4 "TV Shows" and 1 "Pay Per View" show in which to book your roster. We typically give people 2-3 weeks following Round 15 to get their shows up. Different people put different levels of effort in, but I should stress, it doesn't need to be massively time intesive; first and foremost, the draft is about some community fun, and while this will take 3-4 months (We usually try and end round Mania time), it can be real fun and flexible for everyone.
Voting takes place once a deadline passes; we'll post the deadline near the end of the picks. And then we'll post the second deadline once everyone asks for it to be extended
Last year's threads give a good way of seeing what it's all about.
Anyone who has suggestions about stipulation ideas, I'd appreciate them being passed on. I'll put Mr Nice Guy down for the sign-ups automatically, and (same as last year) ask that any other winners who want automatic entry just let me know (I think most don't post anymore, so this is easier than clogging up 6 spaces off the bat...that and MNG makes up 3 of the previous winners anyway :P).
So best of luck everyone and thanks for taking part at all levels
