When will I get my bulletin? Inactivity, stables, contacting other managers, and mentors.
WHEN BULLETINS ARE SENT OUT: The IWF runs on a 4 week cycle so each league is sent out once a month. As a general rule, bulletins are sent out about 11-14 after the deadline. Of course if you decide to join a few different leagues, you will receive bulletins possibly every week, depending on when the deadline is.
INACTIVITY: If, at anytime, we notice a wrestler hasn't sent in any matches for more than a few cycles, we have the option of "dropping," that wrestler in order to make room for new ones. If you are inactive for one cycle you will receive a bulletin anyway. But if you are inactive two or more cycles, you will stop getting bulletins.
STABLES: This may very well be one of the most fun parts of the IWF. Stables are groups of wrestlers brought together to team up. They are recognized by "stable initials," which go before your wrestler's name and can be changed free of charge at anytime. You can invite other wrestlers and managers to join your stable alliance via the trash talk section of your bulletin. Of course it is not necessary to join a stable.
COMMUNICATION WITH OTHER MANAGERS/PEN PAL POLICY: Another fun, but not essential aspect of the game, is communication with other managers all over the world. Stables are sometimes formed when managers become friends with one another. Again, this is purely optional, but there is an interesting "inner circle" and other side of the IWF than can be enjoyed with other managers on a more personal level. Some managers like to "shoot the breeze" and talk about the game with others, so if at any time you'd like to get in touch with another manager, or if you like a wrestler and don't know who his manager is, you can send us a letter that we will forward to that manager for free! It is up to you what you write and what information you exchange, and likewise, is up to the manager receiving the letter if he chooses to reply. The IWF is not liable in any way, shape or form, for anything here other than sending your letter.
MENTORS (VETERANS SHOWING YOU THE ROPES!): Sometimes it may take awhile to grasp the art of picking good strategies for your wrestlers and how you feud with other wrestlers. We have a bunch of veteran managers who would be more than happy to help out and give you any hints or tips that you may need. Who knows, maybe you'll become friends and become a member of their stable! Again, to correspond, send us a letter and we will forward it to the manager you are looking to get in touch with. Once again, we are not responsible for anything other than forwarding your letter.
