OK, it's drafting time. For ease of reference, here be them rules.
This one will operate in a similar vein to the first three. The players will draft wrestlers in snake format, with 15 rounds. At the end, you'll be tasked with putting together a card with your drafted wrestlers, after that we'll vote on who put up the best card.
This contest will work best with 10 competitors. However, if there is a mass of interest, we can stretch to 14. I intend to play myself, flips and necessary over bits being conducted by a second (probably Nick). If we reach the limit through interest, I'll step out.
1. Unless otherwise noted, wrestlers are considered "at their peak." There may be moments and rounds that will, however, give you wrestlers at specific points in their careers.
2. The 12 hour window is now an 8 hour window. After the 8 hour window, the next person in line is free to choose, and you will be able to hop in at anytime to make your pick.
3. Trades of wrestlers is discouraged, as I don't like it personally. If there's a flood of interest in this feature, I may reconsider.
4. The Coin Flip Of Terror remains. I will be keeping the nature of the flips conditions secret until the flip becomes active. The coin will be active from round 5 onwards.
5. NEW RULE: "The Tag Team Rule". Under the tag team rule, you can, at any round in the draft, pick a tag team instead of a single wrestler. BOTH members of the tag team must meet the selection requirements for the round. You can only do this once, and you MUST do it once before the end of the draft. The tag team must be a recognised tag team (either a "Named" team, have a demonstrable history of teaming together, or have won a notable Tag Team Title). You will regret your inaction if you wait until Round 15.
6. As you can probably tell by the title, this is a themed draft. It will test your knowledge of wrestlers from all over the globe. For the purpose of the round, the wrestler's place of birth will be deemed to be their nationality. Controversial, I know, but tough. To give you some examples, under this rule both Chris Jericho and Masa Chono are American, whilst Kane is Spanish. In addition to this, Territories are considered independent nations. Congratulations American Samoa, Puerto Rico, Jersey and friends, you've been upgraded to country status.
Here is the updated drafting list:
1) Lassie
2) Sean
3) Red
4) Clint
5) Nick
6) Vinny
7) Jon
8) Cory
9) Spiro
10) Mike
11) Sally
With this here, let's begin.
ROUND 1: USA
That's right. In a big international themed draft, how could I not start in the USA. This round is pretty easy. The USA has a bit of a reputation in the rest of the world for thinking it runs the world. Or thinking it is the world. This round will reflect that.
You may pick any American wrestler who has held a World Title.
That's it. No limitation to fed, location anything. They've held a belt with World in the title, they're eligible. Just be prepared to back it up if I call you on it.
Lassie may pick at any point from... NOW!
