Rules and Regulations of the Titan Wrestling Federation
Your Wrestler
Original wrestlers only. No real life wrestlers or valet/managers. Also copycat wrestlers are not acceptable either.
Up to one character per handler, plus a tag team. In some cases this rule may be waived by the head office, but only in special situations in which the front office deems a handler to have the required amount of dedication and skill to juggle multiple characters at once. This will require a history with the TWF which the corporate office may reflect on.
RPs / OOC
I ask that you at least check through your RP once for spelling and grammatical errors. I know that errors happen, and I'm willing to overlook a few errors here and there, but if your RP is full of them, and I have to struggle to understand the meaning, your RP may be thrown out and not counted. Take the time to make your RPs the best they can be, they are a reflection of yourself, and of the effort you put into the TWF. I'm more likely to push someone who puts more effort over someone who doesn't seem to care.
3 RPs per week for regular cards, 4 RPs per week for Pay-Per-View cards. Tag Team matches have a 4 RP limit per team.
An RP posted on the rp board counts towards your weekly match unless stated otherwise in your rp title (eg. Character development...ect). Tag teams made up of singles wrestlers versus a tag team, have a two RP maximum limit, so pure tag team handlers could do a total of four RPs. Joint rps by a singles tag team count as 1 rp credit. In the event of six man or more tag matches, the will be a three rp PER HANDLER limit.
You may not post more than one RP in a twenty four hour period, except in the case that your opponent rebutts your RP. Only one rp is permitted to be posted on deadline day, this prevents people from not rping during the week then flooding the board at the last minute. If this does happen, all rps psoted after your first one will be disregarded.
RPs posted past deadline may not be counted towards your match. Deadlines are set for reason.
The use of other handler's characters in your RPs is prohibited without expressed consent by that handler. Consent may either be in the rp board, or sent in an e-mail. If not then I will be contacting the handler being used and find out myself.
Feel free to use members of the TWF staff in your RPs, but please be tasteful, respectful. Each of the TWF Staff members have short bios to further help you understand what they're all about. If you can't keep a staff member in character, don't use them, if you use a staff character improperly it could be grounds for suspension, or dismissal.
The Promo Board is for your RPs and the OOC board is for OOC comments. Please don't get the two confused.
Flame Wars (personal attacks) are not only messy they make us all look bad, so please keep personal attacks to yourself. I understand that situations will come up that will probably make you want to scream about it, but I'd ask you keep your comments to yourself. If you have a complaint, and feel it's not being addressed, please e-mail the head office and we'll discuss the situation. Flammatory remarks will be erased. Of course, there is a difference between having fun and ribbing one another and seriously being cruel, if you don't know, don't bother posting OOC. If you feel unjust about the results of a match, dont whine on the OOC board, not only is it tiring to see but makes you look like a child. Wrestlers are going to lose at one point or another so dont let your ego get ahead of having fun on the fed.
Match Strategy and On-Card Segments
The use of match strategies is permitted in the TWF. A strategy gives the person typing your match an idea of how your character will act throughout the match including certain moves and spots you would like to see your wrestler perform. However strategies are only suggestions and while the card writers will do their best to reflect the image you want to project for your character strategies do not guarantee all or any of your spots or moves will be used, nor that you will win. In the event of a tie, match strategies could influence the decision. Im pretty flexible when it comes to strats and like to incorporate BOTH parties strats. However if I feel your strat doesnt pertain to the situation Ill either edit it to make sense or not use it.
Match strategies must be sent into the TWF Corporate Account by the deadline, and must at least loosely adhere to the strategy format outlined in the strat format page of this website, though not all parts need to be filled out.
Match strategies are different from on-card segments, and so on-card segments should be sent in a seperate e-mail using the on-card segment format outlined in the on-card segment format page of this website.
Just like match strategies, on-card segments may or may not be used and do not influence the chance of you winning your match, unless the match is considered too close to call. The head office will evaluate if your on-card segment provides for character or feud development and in cases where confliction on-air segments are presented may go with which ever one deemed best to influence the storyline and general operations of the federation.
On-card segments must be sent to the corporate e-mail by the deadline just like strategies.
Titles / Rankings
TWF rankings are divided into divisions according to each title. These divisions are not set in stone, and wrestlers are free to float in different divisions on occasion, however the division you are placed in reflects whom you should be striving to create angles with.
Everyone starts from ground zero. The TWF heirarchy is not set in stone, the world champion from three months ago, may be in the Generation Title division next week. We try to rotate our talent all over the field to keep everyone happy. If you feel you are being unfairly held back, bring it to our attention in an e-mail, not on the public OOC board, and we'll take a second look at your character and make command decisions, however the final decision rests with us, and we won't cater to people just because they whine.
Depending on our roster size not every wrestler will get a match every week if the roster gets large. This may count for ppv's aswell, I may just post matches with the best angles going at the time, so effort does count if you wish to be apart of ppv's. Again, this will only apply if the roster gets large. The booking staff tries to ensure that feud and angle related wrestlers get their matches, and then rookies, and then "no-heaters" will be given matches. So if you're consistently not getting on a card, get an angle going. If you've got an angle going, bring it to our attention.
One title per character. When a character wins a title if he is already a champion the lesser title is vacated. Sorry, but that's just the way it is.The Only exception to rule will be a wrestler may hold a singles AND tag title at the same time. The wrestler maybe required to wrestle multiple times on Rising or a ppv should that occur.
Titles must be defended regularly. The expection will be the world title, because the champion is not obligated to defend the world title on a weekly or bi-weekly basis unless storyline permits. Other titles that are not defended within a certain time period will result in the holder being stripped of the title and/or "storyline" suspended. This rule also applies to handlers going away for a long period of time or not putting forth the effort they should be.
**Note: Rules are not set in stone. I will change these rules and add new stipulations at my discretion.**
