*If the person retains normally for 20 points they don't get these 5 as well as

A person get's injured, fired, released, quits, dies, flys away to Japan, Bolivia, D's House, it will cost you a trade to ditch them and in all cases, aside from death they will return to the draft list.

No more than 6 Trades all game ($120,000)

DRAFTING PROCESS FOR DEBUTANTS AND THOSE ON THE DRAFT LIST

Everyone has to be bid for and to win that bid, 48 hours has to pass by without anyone outbidding you, minimum bids for all is $20,000.

The most you can bid assuming you haven't used any trades is $120,000.  When you bid for someone you state who you will drop if you win the wrestler, then when the 48 hours have passed the switch happens automatically.

If one person bids all their $120,000 and someone wants to outbid them they have to use points as well (This only happens when the $120,000 is involved). 

If someone bids you cannot bid the same you have to bid an increased amount of at last an extra $1,000 unless they have bid $120,000 in which case you bid that and points to.

Anyone who debuts during the drafting process will just be added to the list, timing's a **** 

Swaps are illegal.

You cannot drop you No.1 or 2 Draft picks, unless, they are injured, fired, suspended, or vanish off tv for 3 weeks or more.

We don't do Beer Drinking Contests, Boxing Matches, Masterlock Challenges, MMA Matches, Diva Dodgeball or any other non wrestling events/contests, we do WRESTLING matches.

You can draft as many new guys as you can afford.

You bid for someone, you can't withdraw the bid.

"If" by some miracle the game ends in a tie, we'll have a week of overtime, covering RAW/Smackdown/ECW/Superstars/Impact/And if there is one that week even a PPV, and whoever is ahead at the end of the week wins, if it's still a draw we have another week of Sudden Death overtime 'til a week eventually ends with someone ahead.

Themes, who's in what league and such etc. and so on will need deciding today, and "You and D will be headlining along with....." Actually slashsfro is headlining and has the power in this league....  

Here's a reminder of the choices:

3 weeks to WM, when we going to get the next game starting to draft as it starts the night after WM

I've copied and pasted this from the thread it was in (and deleted said thread) since its relevant to future discussions and the like:

I use the term "Prizes", loosely.  

But as we said, the winner of each league, WWE Champion (RAW) and World Heavyweight Champion (Nitro) will remain on their respective brands to defend their titles, but not only that, each Champion will have the power, to choose the "Gimmick/Theme" of the next game, from the following (also both games can't have the same theme, the first choice will go to the Champion with the higher points total):

• TNA Invasion

- As in previous games everyone would be entitled to pick one TNA star at the start of the game but with the catch that they cannot drop this person from their roster at any point, also TNA players would not be able to be picked up during the game unless one skipped from the WWE roster to the TNA roster mid-game then you could use the loophole, but with the "90 Day No Compete Clause" its unlikely.

• King of the Ring

- With a King of the Ring theme (A brand new one we were meant to use before we moved boards incidently) the KOTR won run alongside the regular game, brackets would be drawn and therefore everyone would have an opponent (like a normal KOTR), after a period of a few weeks the person with the highest score would advance to the next round, scores would then be reset, and against the next opponent scores measured from that period to the next elimination period (if that makes sense, I know it sounds a bit Greek like), and so on.

• Stable Warfare

- With 9 players in each league you would have 3 "Triad Stables" and the combined scores would make up the stable scores, the Captain would be the highest scoring member from the previous game.

• Regular Game

- We know how a regular game works now don't we?

• Tag Game

- You'd have the power to bring the game back and it'd be both brands doing it and your singles game would by default be a regular game.

Now this can tie in with the idea Cowbell and D had, about the "Top 3" staying on the brand, based on who the Top 3 are when the drafting starts.

The new game begins March 29th so drafting will start March 15th.  So the theory is this.  The Top 3 at that point stay on their brand, guaranteed, and the person at that point currently holding 1st, gets to choose the concept, it could be billed as a "Race to Glory", you might not win the game, but you get the power to choose the concept, its the only viable way I can think of this working.

The people being split between the two leagues today are....

[More Cowbell]

I forgot about loosing points for DQs my team had a DQ fest on Smackdown apparently.

[BlowUpYourVideo]

I would have started this yesterday but I was pretty much all day.

[slashsfro]

I'm still not sure how I ended up with the lead here.  I guess R-truth ended up getting me close to 30pts this week while showing up on all 3 brands.

Anyway--I pick Stable Warfare as the theme. 

[Yankee1012]

D and I in the same league! 

[Hammy]

Late addition AtariLegend is on Nitro.

[Hammy]

Since we have 10, as opposed to 9, its 2 stables of 5 (see above).  Captains will be whoever come highest in the current games respectively.  So looks like captains will be Cowbell and slashsfro.  The question is, how will Cowbell and D work with AtariLegend after their storied past and how excited is D to be reunited with his tag team partner BlowUpYourVideo?

For anyone who doesn't know how "Stable Warfare" works, its the combined points of your members, incidently Captains will need to choose team names.

[EricxGNRxSTARx]

Lots of pressure with the first pick! Can someone point me to the thread with the top wrestler scores for this game? Thanks.Also, I will pick today but not til after RAW.

[BlowUpYourVideo]

I can already say with some confidence that Team N00b is going down!

And drafting spot #2 for me. Must choose the first pick wisely......

[More Cowbell]

Take Edge, he's been off TV while recovering and is going to be a fresh face. He might not be the biggest scorer this game but he is going to be a top scorer the next one, I dont think he will win at WM as the fued is just starting but I bet he will win by the next PPV. Its either take him or if you think cena is going to be world champion take him. I dont think Jericho is going to be world champion for long. If it was up to me I would take EDGE, CENA, Triple H, Jericho, Miz Those are my Top 5 on the board.

[More Cowbell]

Cowbell's croanies in the house

[EricxGNRxSTARx]

Well,even though I will kick myself later for not taking either Cena,Show,Miz or Y2J, I gotta go with EDGE.
