FWL Season 3 Archive

[Reya Serra]

Can't guarantee I won't totally suck, but I suppose I could try to give this a shot.

[Gates]

I've been thinking about throwing my name into this thing so if you're looking for someone, count me in.

[Domingo]

In

[Fnord]

OooooOooohhh! Fresh blood!

[Kieran King]

I was gonna wait to see what the new rules are, but I'm probably in anyway.

[Hondo]

I'm still in if there's still room.

[Fnord]

I was gonna wait to see what the new rules are, but I'm probably in anyway.

They're really not that much different except for the 1/2 points for online thing. I'll have them up in a couple of days so you can always say no thanks afterwards.

[Duckman]

I've not played this before, not entirely sure I understand how everything works, but if there's an open spot I'm in!

[Hondo]

I've not played this before, not entirely sure I understand how everything works, but if there's an open spot I'm in!

I played for a whole season, and I'm still not sure

[Mike Powers]

I played for a whole season, and I'm still not sure

Fnord likes you and you win. Easy peasy.

[Duckman]

Right, good shit. Fnord, have I told you lately what an awesome job you do around here?  Well you do.

[jagilki]

Fnord likes you and you win. Easy peasy.

Or just draft an all OVW team.

If you look at the description, some wrestling personalities can be in multiple places.  For example: Lillian Garcia could be placed in your Tag Team, Flex, Woman, Non-Title or Staff!

Scoring Details:

APPEARANCES
A Superstar will be awarded appearance points for each segment he/she appears on during the watched event. A segment is defined as the time period that begins when the show comes back from commercial (or starts) and continues until the time the show goes to commercial (or ends). Appearances or matches that are broken up by a commercial break will not count twice. Simply being on TV constitutes an "appearance," unless a Superstar is merely in the background in a non-creative role or is otherwise not part of any storyline. For example, if Vickie Guerrero is standing next to Dolph Ziggler during a backstage segment, both Guerrero and Ziggler will receive appearance points. Simply being in the background in a non-creative role does not constitute an appearance. I will make the final ruling on whether a Superstar receives appearance points. Only action not seen prior to will count towards appearance points. Repeat segment appearances will not count. This includes flashbacks to prior days or weeks, video of a previously aired event that happened on a prior day, pay-per-view promotions, commercials, match graphics, show openers, and still images.

MATCHES
Matches are scored only when a Superstar is ruled a competitor in a match/contest. Any other Superstar who appears during a match/contest will earn appearance points, interference points, etc., but will not earn match points. Appearances by managers, Divas and others ringside will be scored as appearances, not matches. In the event of a "no-decision" finish, the Superstars who participated in the match will earn match points, but neither will be credited with a win.

ELIMINATING AN OPPONENT
A Superstar is awarded 2 points for eliminating an opponent in a match with elimination rules. Elimination matches include (but are not limited to) Battle Royals, Royal Rumble, Classic Survivor Series Elimination Matches and Fatal Four Way Elimination Matches.

SIGNATURE MOVE (EXECUTED/LOCKED-IN)
A Superstar is awarded 2 points any time he/she executes/locks-in one of his/her signature moves. A signature move consists of a move they frequently use and/or is named. If you are curious regarding a superstar's signature moves, just ask.

SIGNATURE MOVE VICTORY
A Superstar is awarded 5 additional points when his/her signature move directly leads to victory in a match (i.e. pinfall or submission).

SIGNATURE MOVE ESCAPE
Each time a Superstar escapes a pinning predicament directly after being hit with his/her opponent's Signature Move, he/she is awarded 2 points. Each time a Superstar escapes a submission signature move, he/she is awarded 2 points. Simply blocking a signature move attempt (before it is executed/locked-in) does NOT constitute a Signature Move Escape. Signature Move Escape points can only be awarded within the context of a match.

FINAL MATCH (Main Event)
Each time a Superstar competes in the final match of an event, he/she is awarded an additional 5 points. Any other Superstar who appears during the final match will earn appearance points, but will not earn Final Match points.

FOREIGN OBJECT USE
A Superstar will be awarded foreign object points each time he/she is successful in using a foreign object to inflict clear physical harm. Foreign objects include (but are not limited to) chairs, chains, bricks, 2x4s, car parts, powder, salt and the announcers' table. Simply swinging a chair or throwing an object without connecting does not count as foreign object use. The object must cause clear physical harm. Objects that are considered part of the ring area, in most cases, will not earn foreign object points. If a Superstar uses their finishing move WITH ANY foreign object successfully, they will receive the finisher and foreign object points in combination. Also, throwing an opponent through a table, into a cage wall, into a ring barrier, etc will now count.

DISQUALIFICATION/COUNT-OUT
An official disqualification/count-out from a match, regardless of the cause, will result in a deduction of 5 points.

SUSPENSION/FIRED/STRIPPED/QUIT
An official suspension/firing/title-stripping/quitting results in a deduction of 20 points. For an official suspension/firing/quitting to be awarded, a Superstar must be suspended from action, "quit" the organization or fired (for personal, medical, behavioral or any other reason) by an authorized WWE official (i.e. Mr. McMahon or their brand's General Manager). A Superstar may still receive Fantasy points (appearance points, etc.) while officially on suspension or fired.

If you have any further questions regarding a rule or scoring, let me know. All rules and regulations are subject to change by me and me alone. If you don't think something is fair or judged right, just let me know and we can have an open discussion regarding this issue and possible change.

Draft Order:

Divisions:

Season 3 will officially start on Wrestlemania April 6, 2014.  From there you will be paired up against opponents for 16 FWL weeks (2 week intervals) before the playoffs. The first place of each Division will get a BYE! The 2nd place of each Division will go will face the two Wildcards of the Conferences. The winner of that match will face their Division leader! Then the winner of those matches go to the SUPERBRAWL and face the other Conference winner!  Out of the remaining 10 teams there will be Wild-Cards (info to be provided later).

SCHEDULES BY WEEK

There are two aspects that effect the following year SEASON 4:
1. You will be able to keep 1 player on your team as your Team Captain for Season 4.
2. Next year's draft will be Worst to First like the NFL does for everyone that stays on another year. Anyone that leaves, their spot and Team Captain will be dumped and any additional person that joins the game will be added to the bottom of the list and will be able to pick up a Team Captain before the draft begins. 

Also, if you miss putting in your line-up 3 times, I go by the 3 strikes rule and you'll be out. Your players will be stripped from your team and back into the free agency and you will get a big GOOSE EGG for the rest of the year without being asked to join the following year. Anyone scheduled to go against you the rest of the schedule will get an auto-win. It's simple to come in every two weeks and submit a line-up. You can even just say "same" to keep it the same and that will suffice. (Circumstances vary depending on health issues/emergencies. I will post the next week's thread as soon as I can in order to make everything go smoothly, you can also PM me your line-up if you know you are going on vacation, etc.)

Also, there will be the deadline for trading, but not pick-ups.

Waiver Wire Rules
You may submit any Drop/Pick-Up Waiver Wire submission to me at anytime before the deadline of 6pm CST on Saturday. As soon as the FWL week ends, I will let you know the draft order, etc. After 6pm CST on Saturday, I will post the Waiver Wire Results. After I post the results, there will be an allotted time for open pick-up/drop. You may only pick-up/drop one wrestler at a time. Once another player does a pick-up/drop you may do another. You are able to use Waiver Wire Picks in trading.

Week's Watching Schedule

Sunday: Random PPVs & Total Divas (If there are any events on the weekend, like I know ROH/TNA does PPVs on Friday/Saturday sometimes or WWE does a Saturday Night Show, they will be counted on SUNDAY to make sure we have time at the end for Waivers and whatnot.)

Monday: WWE Monday Night RAW

Tuesday: ROH TV (from previous Saturday) - ROH is usually on Saturday and gets posted online for free a day or two later, so I'm going to watch in on Tuesday, making it count for Tuesday.

Wednesday: WWE NXT, TNA Xplosion and WWE Main Event

Thursday: TNA Impact Wrestling and TNA OVW

Friday: WWE Superstars and WWE Smackdown (will be watched on Friday Night or Saturday ASAP to make sure all the points get in).

Saturday: Nothing. This day will be for Waiver Wire and catch-up if needed.

If there are any questions about this, feel free to ask.  It's just what fits best with my schedule in order for me to get all the points aligned as soon as I can.  This year, I will be posting the line-up weeks earlier to give more time as last time I only gave about a day or two to submit your line-up. Also, this will change once I know the schedule from the WWE Network.

Trading:

You may trade with any other player at any time. You must confirm the trade in this thread along with the person your trading with. All trades will go through unless any active team feels it's a total lop-sided trade, then they can call for a vote and I will put it up to a vote and majority rules. Everyone has 24 hours to vote and decide if the trade should go through. If it's close to line up deadline, those teams IN the vote will still be able to edit their teams after the vote has been resolved. You only have 24 hours after the trade has been confirmed to call it for a vote and you cannot call it for a vote after the scheduled week that the vote will effect has started. You can trade Waiver Wire and Draft picks.

If it's in the middle of a currently active FWL Week, the trade's results will be available for next week.

Any questions, feel free to ask! All of this is subject to change and more information will be added here upon needed.

Vertical Conference Winner VS Horizontal Conference Winner


As you can see by the schedule above, each team plays divisional opponents twice, other conference opponents once, and all teams in a non-conference division once. Also, this year has two differences in the schedules. One is that we will be taking three holiday breaks for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years. Those are the top three holidays of the year and rather than worry about some internet game, I figured we could all use a break to spend with family and friends. Of course I will still be watching wrestling those weeks, so if anyone wants to call out someone for a special "Holiday Challenge" for fun, I can set something up. The other change is that if you notice there are home teams and away teams. The home teams will start off the week with 20 additional points for that week. I think that would be cool to give the home team an advantage.

Any questions, let me know!
