***************************************************************
1. Thoughts
***************************************************************

I think the Selection Show came off well. Like I stated in the e-mail, almost all the participants sent something in, which is great considering how many deadlines were flying around in early February and that intro RPs with not much to go on are tough to write. So for that I'm pleased... but, again, was a tad disappointed that a couple people didn't even bother communicating that they couldn't get anything in or needed more time.

Hopefully now that the matches are set, I can get 100% participation. Like before, I'll be lenient on the deadlines - letting me know you'll be late with an RP is key, though, since it gives me an idea of what to expect and to see if I need to hold up the Hype show for anything. Plus, I'm no angel when it comes to meeting deadlines in feds, so I'm not going to be strict with them!

Also, if you need to know stuff for the tournament/e-mails for other handlers/etc, let me know and I can provide that all.

***************************************************************
1. Shows
***************************************************************

a. Hype

See below...

b. First Nights

This will be a two show, two night event with First Round matches taking place on Night One and Quarterfinal Matches on Night Two. Again, as stated in the Handbook, these matches will mostly be summarized - probably in the style of UWF's matches with limited commentary. I might have one or two matches written out more fully should I feel that the work behind the matches warrants it. The In-Character dates that this event would take place is... Friday, March 12th and Saturday March 13th. They may not be the actual dates that the shows come out, but I'll try to have it in the same ballpark by a week, hopefully.

If you wish to have some on-cards or backstagers, let me know before you start writing them. For these, please use Keith Stebbins as the interviewer [yes, he'll do split duty of calling matches and interviewing]. I do encourage them, but they won't get your character any more bonus points... just adds to the overall presentation!

Now, a note on strats... I hate strats. I hate writing strats, so I'm pretty sure I'm going to hate reading strats. As such, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make your strats as to the point as possible. Entrance/Mindset/Wrestling Type/Targets/Spots/Ending Reactions. If it can't fall into those six broad categories, I probably won't care. If the strat's a novel, well, I'll be loathe to read it. Basically, write the strat as great as you can and as concise as you can to allow me to represent & write your character as well as possible.

c. Finals

This will be the last show with the two semi-final matches and the final match. I may reach out to some feds to see if they'd like to have a showcase match on it, but I don't want to take anything away from Dro's CL Cup since he's trying to get showcase matches for that too. For this show, there will be another set of deadlines for the four characters that advanced for RPs & strats. These RPs could be either in-rings/backstagers/regular promos, however they will all be on the Finals show. This last round of RPs could sway the decisions, so they'd be important to get done. I'll set the deadlines for this after the First Nights shows come out.


***************************************************************
3. Hype Details
***************************************************************

This will be where all the final smacktalking will take place [i.e. the last chance to send in any RPs that will count]. Unlike the Selection Show, this Hype show will be hosted only by Lenny Zefring, K.R. Douglas, and Keith Stebbins with another guest spot by Kraftwerk. Now, as for what types of RPs I'm looking for here... well, unlike the Selection Show, there's no restrictions. So if you want to do a press conference, interview, off-site, on-site, that's all fine. If you do wish to do an interview, please use either Lenny Zefring or Keith Stebbins - K.R. Douglas would be a bad interviewer. You could also have your character to visit the Hype show itself and discuss the match with Zefring, Stebbins & Douglas "live" [if you choose this option DEFINITELY let me know cause that would mean I'd have to help in writing the announcers' parts, or at least edit it].

It's one RP per character [though, there's 16 different handlers, so yeah...]. HOWEVER, if you wish to also do a collaborative RP in addition to your character's solo RP, then I have no problem with that. So that's ONE solo RP or ONE collaborative RP, maximum. Note, though, that the collaborative RP would only sort of be an icing-on-the-cake deal... It'll still be the strength of the solo RP vs. solo RP when deciding outcomes. Let me know if you want to do a joint-RP, though, so I know how to write it in the Hype show - I may save it for the First Nights show as well to help break up action.

Just a status update - the past two weeks haven't been kind to me time-wise - I think this week should go a little better and hope to have the Hype show out this weekend.

Then the First Nights shows... maybe two weeks after this weekend? Let's hope so [so that give you all a while to get in any strats or last minute oncard/inrings if you wish!]

Come on, don't be a jerk.

:(

Seriously, it's... progressing. I'm not bailing on this at all and the Hype show should come out soon and thereafter First Nights. Just bear with me [and act as if this tournament is set in a vacuum of time!]

I am working on it, honestly!

But... I really don't think I can devote that much time to it at this moment. So I'm thinking Memorial Day Weekend I'll have the Hype Show and First Nights out. If I don't, you can...

I claim victory in this tournament. No one was able to overcome the technical prowess of Supreme Wright. Not even children!

Whoo! Two-time KotC winner up in here!

I would stake my MOTR VII trophy on it! Except for the fact that I'm not going to, because it's pretty and you might get fingerprints on it.

Bren will tell you that Gibson Hayes won and he'd be right. Another feather in the cap of the Red Hayes!

I can say, for certain...

That someone with the letter "e" in their name won...
