Ok guys, so the plan right now is for the first card to go up on Thursday, February 1st. The results will still go up on Monday, February 12th as planned. With our roster at over the required 16, it's time for us to talk about the tournament. This may be a semi-longish post, but I'm detailed and all of it matters to those on the roster (even if you weren't part of the initial 16 signees). The 16 people who will be in the tournament will be the first 16 people who signed up.
KEG is in the 201 & Fun division so he won't be in the tournament. He will instead be in a 201 & Fun match. Hajeet is one of the characters Torture has added to the roster as filler and this character will not be in the tournament. So here are the next 16 to have filled out an app.
Chase Jackson
Camila Gonzalez
Spencer Adams
Donald Deruty
Charlie "The Ghost" Rossi
Dante "Quiet" Storm
Thaddeus Franklin King
Jessica Cannon
"1 Sick Bastard" Adam Young
Kinley Carlisle
Vincent
"The Coywolf" Laura DaVoe
"Big" John Frost
Alexander Pasternak
Eavan Maloney
Cheyenne
Here's the thing. The tournament will be fought under normal RPing rules which are a hard 4k cap. This does NOT mean you are expected to produce 4k. This just means for those who like to write a novel, they can't exceed 4k to be judged as a winner. If you can't write 4k, that's fine. If you can't write 3k that's fine.
We judge QUALITY over QUANTITY. A high quality 3k RP can beat a high quality 4k RP. There's even a chance a high quality 2.5k RP could beat a high quality 4k RP. It's a small chance, but it's possible. Of course a high quality 2.5k RP could easily beat a 4k RP that's mainly filler.
Remember that the ones who lose in the opening matches of the world title tournament will be entered into a battle royal in the main event for the vacant TV title. So just because you lose, doesn't mean you will leave without a title belt. One of you will. TV title division rules are 1k RPs, however this will be the one night when that word cap will not apply. You won't need to write a second RP either. Also, those who want the TV title and decide to do a 1K RP, thinking that they'll have a better shot in the battle royal, that won't work. The battle royal's winner will be decided by the best RP of the night based on all who lost their world title tournament match. Your planned 1k RP MIGHT win if it's better quality than the others in the battle royal.
Now, with all of that said, the 16 names above, if your name is on that list and you don't want to be in the world title tournament period or if you just feel you have no hope of competing, we can take you out of the tournament and put you in other matches on the card. Let me know in this thread or via PM. To be clear though, asking to be removed from the tournament will NOT negatively affect your standing with the match judges, future bookings, etc. We want you to have fun and enjoy your time here in Action Wrestling. We still have six days until the card goes up and more people will sign up and can take the vacant spots (plus we have Cheyenne who would be the first entered should someone opt out).
Note that if you create an app after I've posted this thread and if there's no spots left in the tournament, you will still be on the first show in matches as long as you complete your app by February 1st.
Also, I mentioned KEG being in the 201 & Fun division. If the 201 & Fun division just seems more appealing to you overall, let me know here in the thread as well or via PM. You'll be removed from the world title tournament since that's a main roster thing and be put in that division instead. People in the 201 & Fun division will be booked against other characters in that division.
For the TL;DR crowd: above is the 16 entrants for the world title tournament (not in that order though). If you feel you can't compete at the world title level, let us know. It won't affect you negatively with the fed or the staff/booking. Let us know if you'd prefer to be in the 201 & Fun division. You can let me know via this thread or via PM.
If any of this is confusing or if there are any questions, please let me know via this thread or via PM.
Thank you so much to all of you who have signed up so far. You're amazing and we have loved reading your apps and your posts so far.
