Grimmas Posted May 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 I think drafting tag teams should mean you forfeit your next pick That's a good rule, actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrisZ Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 But they have to be a certified team as of 1/1/83 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Boricua Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Are we going to have a few guys tabbed as special attractions where you request dates where no one controls them or would they be drafted by someone and used as trade bait (ex. I'll lend you Andre for this date in exchange for this guy for this date)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrisZ Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 I think that could work....it's only a few guys anyway.....one subject though that has to be talked about is Japan tours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Boricua Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Depending on how we determine which wrestlers tour Japan, I don't think it would be too complicated. We know the dates of the tours, we would just have to determine if we only go by actual wrestlers that toured over there or if some others would end up going. The first is easier, just have a list with the tour dates and who would be on it as a reference. The second one (having "new" wrestlers go on tour) its a bit trickier with regards in how do you determine if they go and with which company in Japan. Of course, the unavailability dates would start a bit before the tours and a bit after to allow for travel to and from Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrisZ Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 It gets tricky especially after WWF quits sending guys over after 1984. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimmas Posted May 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 So, let's recap where we are at: Â 1) We draft out the promotions and you keep the owner, announcers and 1 piece of talent. 2) There is a draft of all remaining talent, where if you pick a tag team that exists as of 1/1/83 than you forfeit your next round pick. 3) Each promoter runs a weekly tv show (in real time) and as many major shows as they want. 4) Every promoter who runs a NWA company gets a vote on who is the NWA Champion and gets to bid for dates with that champion. 5) Talent trades are acceptable. 6) Every six months there is a dispersal draft of some sort. 7) Some kind of random injury draw will happen. Â To figure out is how to exactly deal with Japan tours and wrestlers who are freelancers. Â Am I missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cross Face Chicken Wing Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Perhaps we could have someone in charge of Japan and the freelancers? Â He could let us know when the freelancers would be available for U.S. dates and which promotions they're interested in working for. From there, a dice roll determines where the freelancers go and how long they stick around before moving to another promotion. If we wanted to get really crazy, this person could also act like a Brody or Hansen and refuse to let their freelancers job except in special cases. Â For Japan, the person in charge could request dates from regular U.S. talent and the promoter could give a thumbs up or down. Might be useful for booking loser leaves town matches or injury angles.

KrisZ Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 It's getting to the point where we have to figure out who is going to be involved in this and if you are getting involved in this you need to be dedicated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Are we going to attempt to compile a list of tag teams that were active on January 1st, 1983 that are available to be drafted together? That should keep people from arguing during draft time over what is and isn't an "official" team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimmas Posted May 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Are we going to attempt to compile a list of tag teams that were active on January 1st, 1983 that are available to be drafted together? That should keep people from arguing during draft time over what is and isn't an "official" team. Is that necessary or can someone just draft a team and then have others confirm they were a regular team by the date? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimmas Posted May 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 A question, should we start on January 1, 1983 or should we start on 1983 on the day we start. Say, we get this rolling for July 1, should the game time we start at be July 1, 1983 or January 1, 1983? Â It might be easier to go with the current date and just change the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrisZ Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 That could work because Los Angeles was full WWF by that time and Detroit was on it's way there. Â The Road Warriors didn't exist on 1/1/83 but they did on 7/1/83. Â I will compile a list of rosters before we have a draft so you can see who was teaming with who Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimmas Posted May 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 So we should aim for a start date of July 1, 2015 with a roster start date of July 1, 1983 and just go with the current day month but the former year? That sounds awesome to me. Â We have all of June to finish rules and get the drafts done. We are up to 8 people involved, so that is a good start.

El Boricua Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Will there be different roster sizes depending on the territory or will it be the same number for everyone? Would we also draft enhancement talent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 I wouldn't think we would need to use draft picks or roster spaces for enhancement guys who will really only be on TV and not on house shows. I doubt anyone else has plans to use Southwest jobbers like Juan Reynosa or Tug Taylor (although he might be too shitty for me to keep around even for jobs) I guess if a lot of people want to use a more famous jobber like Mike Jackson maybe that might cause a problem. Â As an aside, I know Southwest wasn't an NWA territory so I don't plan on booking the NWA World Champ. I would try and work out an arrangement to use the AWA champ because at times Southwest would bring Bockwinkel in as the World Champion.

Grimmas Posted May 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Will there be different roster sizes depending on the territory or will it be the same number for everyone? Would we also draft enhancement talent? I think we draft until we have a roster the size we want. If somebody drops out of the draft after 20 rounds, that is cool. If somebody wants to keep going, that is cool. Â There should be a max though, because that could lead to some big advantages going forward. Â As for jobbers... maybe we should keep them with the company like the owners and announcers? I'm ok with fictional local jobbers too, if the jobbers are unknown for that area.

KrisZ Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Jobbers moved around too.....we should go until everyone is drafted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 I don't know I think there should definitely be a max. A roster of 40 guys is kind of unrealistic for most territories and anything over that is really excessive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
