Hello Guests and Members alike and I, on behalf of the WZCW staff and community, would like to welcome you to the premier eFed on WrestleZone Forums: WrestleZone Championship Wrestling. I am the WZCW Handbook and I am here to help you with a step-by-step guide on how to navigate yourself through the WZCW Forum (because this place can be a little confusing at first) as well as provide all the rules and regulations that are in effect within this section of the forums.
Before we get started, I would like mention to the people responsible for running WZCW who are known as the Staff or Creative Team. If you have any questions or queries about anything WZCW-related that are not answered in this Rulebook, please do not hesitate in contacting them through the Private Messaging system so they can help solve whatever issue needs answering:

Now that you know the people in charge, the next step is to familiarize yourself with the different sections of the forum so that way you don't get confused when you need something specific. Once you understand these simple sub-sections, it should be easy enough for you to navigate yourself:

After having a gander at all of these sections and deciding upon joining WZCW, we'll need to head over to the Backstage area will you will find the WZCW Application Thread. Before applying, you'll need to acquire 40 NON-SPAM POSTS in the other forums of WrestleZone. The Creative Team also hold the right to reject and request immediate changes to any application.
Once you have applied and been accepted into WZCW, check the Roleplay Boards to see whether your character has been selected to compete in a match for the next set of shows. All shows are done on a Bi-Weekly basis: meaning that the round will consist of the match cards being posted up, allowing all members to RP and posting up the shows. This process will take approximately two weeks before the next round begins. Here is an overview of what happens:
WZCW Rounds:

There are usually three shows that get posted outside of the PPV round. These are:

WZCW also has its own PPV's that usually occur every four or five rounds (i.e. three or four rounds of Meltdown, Ascension & Aftershock followed by the fourth or fifth round, which will be a PPV), thus creating a PPV cycle. We currently have six PPV's (and their cycles) running, theoretically creating our WZCW Calendar year:

On top of the regularly scheduled programming, WZCW also holds special events that may replace a particular round or be inserted right before an entire PPV cycle.

WZCW also features five championships including divisions with specific restrictions on how to attain title opportunities (usually done by performing well on a consistent basis):

We also encourage non-staff participation to help us when creating the shows. If you feel like you'd be ready to write a match to help out the Creative team, let us know in the Guest Writer Sign-Up thread in the backstage area. and we will eventually assign you a match, depending on whether you are available or not. We also encourage non-staff members to tell us of any ideas that you may have concerning your character such as storylines/angles/feuds you'd like to have, a certain backstage segment that you'd want to include or just a general thing like shaking the hand of an audience member because they are someone your character knows. To do so, send any one of us Staff members a PM and we should get back to you. (Remember, we can reject or modify any requests).
There are also other useful threads that are available for you to communicate to the Creative team for very specific and very frequent requests.

Well, that about covers everything there is to know for WZCW. If you would like any further help: you can contact a member of staff; read the rules around the forums or simply ask in the WZCW Discussion Thread in the backstage area where inquiries are normally made... oh, I almost forgot the one most important thing:
That's all for now:Disclaimer:
This is a fictional online federation. Everyone here who roleplays and are members of staff do this for the fun of playing a fictional character and creating fictional storylines; almost to the point where everyone is considered a family here. We do not want any drama to occur in the fed as it could close the federation down and ruin everyone's fun. So please, play nicely with the other children so we can all get along together and make this experience fun for the whole family. General banter against other people is allowed in-character but any insults or direct shots will result in staff punishing you for your consequences. The rules of WrestleZone Forums apply in WZCW as well, on top of all the rules of the federation.
Apply, RP & have some fun!
