League titles or "front page" titles.
HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMP: The highest title within a league. The following cycle this champ will attempt to defend his title in a "stepladder format," starting with the Jr Heavyweight Champ, the 5 Region Champs, the top 5 Ranked Wrestlers, and then any wrestlers ranked 6-10 that have signed (paid) to face him. The Heavyweight Champ also receives 25 rankings points!
JR. HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMP: The second highest title within a league. This Champ gets the first shot at the current Heavyweight Champ the following cycle. Any wrestler ranked 1-15 can pay to fact the Jr Heavyweight Champ. Region Champs may also challenge the Jr Heavyweight Champ for 1 dollar or as part of the match deal. The Jr. Heavyweight Champ receives 15 rankings points.
REGION CHAMPS: There are 5 Region Titles in every league. Often these regions will be dictated based on the "theme" of a league. For example, Canadian Pride Wrestling has Region Titles based on Canadian Geography. These titles are equal in worth, and each gets a free shot at the Heavyweight Champ the following cycle. Any wrestler in the league ranked anywhere, can challenge these champs for $1 apiece or as part of the match deal. Region Champs receive 8 rankings points.
LADIES TITLES: Some leagues have ladies title in addition to the other titles you may find. Only lady wrestlers may challenge for a ladies title. If your league does not have a ladies title, then we suggest you create ladies wrestlers. Once enough ladies are in the league a ladies title will be created. When a league has a ladies title, ladies wrestlers may ONLY challenge for the ladies title, or tag and/or six-man. If your league does not have a ladies title, then your lady wrestler may challenge for any title in the league, provided she qualifies for a shot (see above). Ladies wrestlers may take on any wrestler in their league non-title.
ROOKIE TITLES: These titles only appear in some leagues, and may only be challenged for by rookie manager's wrestlers. You don't need to be ranked at a certain position, nor hold any other title to challenge for one of these titles.
BATTLE ROYAL: Each cycle (month) there is a battle royal in your respective league. It is $1 per wrestler to enter. If your wrestler wins this battle royal, he earns 10 rankings points. Joining the Battle Royal is a good way to possibly win a vacant front page title, even if your overall strategy total is not high enough to win a title. And why is that? How well you do in the battle royal depends on your FIRST 5 holds (slots 1-5). You want your best set-up holds in these slots to be successful. The Maximum Battle Royal strategy is 140 points (30, 29, 28, 27, 26). If your wrestler wins his league battle royal, he is then placed in an IWF-Wide competition we call the Ultimate Royal Championship, where he faces other battle royal winners across the IWF. If he then beats them, he wins the Ultimate Royal Title and makes the IWF Monthly Report and gets recognition throughout the entire IWF! The same holds true for the other major IWF-Wide Titles you will soon read about.
UNCLAIMED TITLES: Sometimes a wrestler wins a higher title, but no one beats him for his old belt. We call this "upgrading." When this happens, the vacant title is awarded to the winner of the Battle Royal (if he does not already have a title). If the Battle Royal Winner does have a title, the vacant belt is awarded to the wrestler thrown out the latest in the Battle Royal that does not already have a title. If a second or third title vacancy arises, then we will award the title to the wrestler with the highest strategy total (this wrestler must not have an existing title though). In your debut cycle, we have awarded titles based on highest strategy totals within the league.
TAG/6 MAN TITLES: Any team may challenge for the tag or 6 Man Belts. We would like each tag/6 Man team to submit a "team name." This name will be used in the bulletins, and on the front cover. This feature is purely optional, but it will make the IWF seem more realistic. If you choose to do this, make a note on the application or on the match form if you do it in the future. Each wrestler from the tag team and six-man champions receives 5 rankings points apiece.
TAG/6 MAN RANKINGS: These rankings are found on the inside cover of the bulletins below the singles rankings. The rankings are used to break any potential ties. For example, let's say two teams defeat the tag team champs by 10 points. Obviously only one team can win the belts. The team that wins it will be the team with a better tag team ranking. If neither team is ranked (you don't have to a ranked tag team to challenge for the tag titles), point concentration will be used to break the tie.
