Season 4 News

[Storm Trooper]

Season 4 is about to get underway! I'm going to copy and paste the announcement from the General Discussion thread here so it is easily accessible.

SEASON 4!

First of all the biggest change. Instead of doing a pool where we just count points and the highest point total wins, We will have a League, where your roster will go head to head with another squad. The length of the season will be determined by the number of people who sign up, but we do need an even number for obvious purposes.

Also, because I have no life and think I can pull this off, we will be doing a 4-show, 2 promotion League involving RAW, Friday Night Smackdown, NXT, and AEW Dynamite, as well as their respective Pay Per View Events. Obviously this will have some changes to the rosters.

NEW ROSTER RULES!

1. The 2 show pool had 5 people. Double the shows, DOUBLE THE ROSTER! 10 Performer Roster! HOWEVER, to have some strategy involved there will be a 7 performer active roster with a 3 person bench (these 3 people do not accumulate points for you).
   
   • Rosters can be set at any time, but the positions and performers lock the moment the show goes on-air (that means the Kickoff show as well, so PPV rosters lock at 6 or 5 EASTERN depending on the PPV).
   
   
2. New Roster Rules
   
   1. Male Raw
   2. Male Smackdown
   3. Male NXT
   4. Male AEW
   5. Female from ANY show (Just in case anyone would argue this, Nyla Rose is a FEMALE performer).
   6. Flex
   7. Flex (Anyone from any show)
   8. BENCH
   9. BENCH
   10. BENCH (these 3 do not score for the player, unless the weekly matchup ends in a Tie.
       
       • This would mean that every week you need to look at your roster and set your lineups. If you fail to set a new lineup the same one from the week prior will be used.
   
   
3. Failure to comply will mean that you are playing with a smaller lineup, instead of point reduction as in previous seasons.
4. If a Performer changes shows, there will be a 1 WEEK grace period before he is affiliated with his new show. Say Johnny Gargano finally goes to Friday Night Smackdown the week after Survivor Series, you will have a week where he is eligible for both roster spots before the NXT one disappears.
   
   • If a performer is on both shows, they will maintain dual eligibility.
   
   
5. With the current schedule of television, the Free Agency will be open from Midnight EST Monday night (Tuesday AM officially) following RAW. The window will close at 11AM EASTERN on Wednesday, before AEW/NXT.

THE FIX FOR THE 24/7 CHAMPIONSHIP!

1. If you become the champion at any time during the show, you get 5 points
2. If you are the champion when the show goes off-air, you get a bonus 5 points.

• The maximum points you receive for the championship now is 10 points per episode.

Aside from the 24/7 Title, the scoring will be the same as previous seasons.

THE DRAFT!

The Draft will begin TONIGHT (October 21st) at 11PM Eastern at the conclusion of tonights MONDAY NIGHT RAW. The order is as follows:

1. OYDK
   
2. JHOLCOMB
   
3. Storm Trooper
   
   
4. Spider
   
   
5. #MrScissorsHands/RicSolarFlair
   
   
6. BSE
   
   
7. Spider
   
   
8. Jeff

As it is a snake draft, even numbered rounds will be inverted, so the second round will be:

1. Jeff
   
   
2. Spider
   
   
3. BSE
   
   
4. #RicSolarFlair
   
   
5. Spider
   
   
6. Storm Trooper
   
   
7. JHOLCOMB
   
   
8. OYDK

Since this is starting on short notice I will give the first round 48 hours maximum to make their picks, and the rest of the rounds is 24 hours. I will try to remember to PM everyone when it is their turn as soon as possible.


Good luck to everyone, and may the best team win!

NEWS REGARDING WOMEN'S WAR GAMES MATCH:

The winning team was Team Ripley. And after consulting with my predecessor Smark, since all 4 members of the team was announced as the winner, Thea Ripley, Candice LeRae, Dakota Kai, and Tegan Nox all receive credit for the win.

I have not looked at the results, and have been thinking about this since this whole double-week thing had to happen.

Because AEW is not on TV next week and there are people with AEW=-heavy rosters, I have decided that in Dynamite's place will be the 12/24 episode of AEW DARK!

It's not a full Dynamite, and it likely has the people NOT on Dynamite 12/18, but this is the best I could do to salvage the situation for you guys.

Also, NXT announced a couple matches for next week, so I'm working on the assumption that they will have a show on 12/25, and since it has not been spoiled before Free Agency it will count.
