Standard Rules:
1) Never use another handler's wrestler in your roleplays without their consent. Lampooning is perfectly acceptable. i.e. DX dressing up like Nation of Domination; Hiring look alike midgets, etc.
2) Cursing is allowed. However, you must remember that all of your promos are being "aired on public television". This is roleplaying, after all. You are putting yourself into an imaginary situation where you are a wrestler being aired on basic cable. Good roleplaying would be to censor the really bad words just like they do in real life.
3) Racism will NOT be tolerated. Immediate dismissal and banishment from all things ThunderTone.
4) All out of character(OOC) comments will only be posted on the OOC board. Violators will be repromanded.
NOWA EXTREME Rules:
1) Only eleven men allowed on singles roster; Six teams on tag team roster.
A limited roster is a more competitive roster. For more, see #8.
2) One singles wrestler and/or one tag team allowed per person.
This eliminates the chance of one handler having to roleplay for two competitors that may be forced to face each other.
3) One World Heavyweight Championship and one World Tag Team Championship will be sanctioned.
To quote Triple H....If you're in this business, there is only one goal. The World Title. If you don't want it, then go home. With no US, TV, or Intercontinental Titles to contend with, everybody will be aiming for the same thing. Thus...competition.
4) One show every two weeks.
NOWA EXTREME is not intended to be a full time federation. It is formatted in a way that it gives those with other e-fed commitments a chance to take on another promotion while still devoting themselves to their home promotion.
5) A maximum of five roleplays every two weeks.
While some see this rule as a hinderance, others see it as a level playing field. The quantity issue is completely thrown out of the window and all roleplays are strictly judged on quality. As with rule #4, this allows those with other obligations to maintain a presence in NOWA EXTREME.
6) Events will take place every other Saturday with the previous Thursday being the deadline for strategies and roleplays.
This gives the executive committee a chance to confer and write the results while keeping with the schedule.
7) Rankings are determined through overall wins and losses.
The only way to receive a title shot is to move up the rankings to the number one spot.
8) Those ranked on eighth, ninth, and tenth on the singles roster, fourth and fifth on the tag team roster, are on the bubble.
In other words, if you're ranked too low, your job may be in jeopardy. See #9 for more.
9) To became a member of the active roster, you must send in an application and win your "tryout match".
If you want in, you have to prove just how bad you want it by defeating a active NOWA EXTREME wrestler that is on the bubble.
10) If you are an NOWA EXTREME wrestler that is on the bubble, and lose the tryout match, you will be removed from the roster to make way for the better man.
This rule may end up being the most controversial. Nobody wants to be kicked out of a fed just because they lost a match to a newcomer. But, as they say....only the strong survive; the weak.....culled. If you are indeed one of the greatest in the world of e-wrestling, then you'll have nothing to worry about. But if you do lose, all you have to do is request a tryout match for the next show. Defeat you're opponent, and you're back on the roster.
11) Unless otherwise specified, all matches are no disqualification, no count out, and falls count anywhere.
We're not called NOWA EXTREME for nothing.
***NOTE: Rules may be altered at any time through the descretion of the executive committee.
