From the desk of the IWF The IWF is currently putting all the questionaire replies on file and weighing them very carefully. Next cycle we will have a major update on the direction the game will be headed in, based on the majority or overwhelming response. In the meanwhile, the IWF continues to want feedback from our managers, and once again asks you to reply to this cycle�s questionaire. Unfortunately, the Do Or Die Title did not have the response that we had hoped for. So as a result, after this cycle, that title will be discontinued. We will see next cycle which wrestler is wearing the soon to be retired Do Or Die Strap. We are proud to announce our very first big contest this cycle, called the Free Match Bonanza Give-Away. It is easy to enter. You can be a part of the contest, as it is $1 per wrestler to enter. The winner of the contest will be determined by whoever has the highest strategy total of the wrestlers that signed up for the contest. So needless to say, it will benefit your chances to enlist as many of your wrestlers as possible. However, this is not to say you can not win by entering just 1 wrestler. In the end, the manager of the winning wrestler will receive �X� amount of free matches. In this case, �X� will be equal to the money put into the contest. So for example, if 25 wrestlers enter the contest, the winning manager will receive 25 free matches. You can look for more big contests in the future, and as always, we are open to your suggestions! Stables are really starting to take shape and emerge, and next cycle we will debut IWF-Wide Stable Rankings. Also in the near future, look for other rankings such as Most Hated, Most Popular, Most Respected, etc. For these categories, we may ask for manager feedback as a determinant. For those of you unclear, here is how our yearly manager/wrestler ranking point system works: 60pts(you do not get Division bonus points with this total)-World Title, 45-Intercontinental/ Global, 40-World Tag/Six, 30-Division Champion, 15-Heavyweight Champion, 10-Jr. Heavyweight, 5-Regional, 5-Rookie Challenge, 3-League Tag/6. Right now we are more optimistic than ever with new managers joining every day, and we want to thank each and every one of you for making the game what it is today, and spreading the word about us to your friends!
