The following of these Rules and/or Regulations will avoid

stated by that Staff member.
Thank-You PWA Management I. Joining PWA a. Read the Rules set forth by the PWA Staff in its entirety. b. Go to the PWA boards and register under your character’s name. And then post under the sign-up section. c. Post your character/team bio under the Singles or the Tag Team section under the biography section. d. Post a Role-Play under the General RP board. e. Have Fun! After all, this is just a game. II. Message Board Rules a. Out of Character Rules i. Keep all Out of Character Talk/Post in the OOC board. ii. ALL OOC comments are subject to the same rules and regulations regarding inappropriate content. Please be mindful of other roster, and PWA Staff members, opinions/comments. iii. Please take any disagreements you may have with comments/opinions made by another roster member to PM or IM. Please do no flame or spam on the boards. iv. Be respectful, and mindful, of people’s opinion and thoughts. v. “Fed”-bashing/Fed Wars will not be tolerated on the PWA boards. Offenders will be removed from the boards. vi. Failure to follow any of these rules will result in a warning. You will only get two warnings. A third warning, or failure to follow these rules will result in the offender being removed from the PWA boards. III. Role-plays a. Do’s and Don’ts i. You are not allowed to attack any wrestler from the PWA roster without direct orders from the PWA Staff to further improve storyline or from the wrestler that you are using. ii. If you want to include another wrestler from the roster you must inform that person that you will do so and how you will use that wrestler. If the wrestler does not want you to use his wrestler in the role-play then you may not use him or her. People are allowed to be made up though. iii. No killing, disfiguring, raping, or kidnapping in role-plays. NO EXCEPTIONS. iv. At no time are you to create your own stable without the PWA Staff's permission. Tag Teams can be made at any time. If your proposed stable has been approved, we ask that you keep the number of members to a maximum of (5) five. v. All Role-plays are subject to editing for content by the Booking Team. Edit-worthy content includes, but is not limited to, the above rules, as well as RACISM or SERIOUS PREJUDICE COMMENTS. Yes, that INCLUDES flagrant homosexual stabs. The occasional homosexual joke, as long as its only suggestive and not flagrant, is ok, but ANY FLAGRANT RACIST OR PREJUDICE COMMENTS WILL BE DELETED AND THE WRESTLER WILL BE UNDER REVIEW BY PWA MANAGEMENT. PWA is a place for people of every which way. If you threaten that, you will be asked to leave the federation. vi. If you know you need time off, please contact one of the staff members and ask not to be booked. vii. If you have any questions or concerns regarding these rules, or anything else PWA related, please seek out one of the staff members. We'll be more than happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have. viii. ALL General RP’s (RP’s not pertaining to a show, or match) must be posted on the PWA boards. This is non-negotiable. RP’s pertaining to a weekly show, PPV, match, or opponent can be linked to somewhere else. b. Minimum Number of Role-plays i. The minimum number of role-plays/ Promo's a week is (1) one. You must try and make these of your highest quality to win your matches. ii. There is a role-play maximum limit of (3) three for both singles and each team in tag team matches (3 per team). iii. There is a (1) one RP limit within the final day (Sunday) prior to the RP deadline. Any RP over the (1) one RP limit will not count towards your match for the week. iv. The PWA staff strongly encourages everyone to post a role-play prior to the last day. Waiting until the last day not only hurts your opponent, but it hurts you, as a character, and makes you look like you're trying to 'low-ball' your opponent by not giving them a chance to reply. c. Consequences of non-Role-playing i. Everyone who has a match MUST role-play for that match at least once within the allotted time. Anyone who does NOT role-play for their match, except if the booking team is given prior notice or in a valid case (family emergency, groundings for you youngins, illness, computer death, etc.) will not receive a match for the next week. You can request to be put on the next card, if you were not included do to a no showing. ii. Failure to role-play for (2) two consecutive matches will result in a 2-week 'suspension' from active duty. iii. Failure to role-play for (3) three consecutive matches may result in severe consequences maybe even termination from PWA. This can be avoided though if you notify a head member of staff that you will be unable to role-play for a certain amount of time. d. Show Submissions i. All roster members are welcome to submit segments, and offer to help write matches. 1. The PWA Staff strongly encourages the roster members to use segments in the show to start/further storylines/feuds. ii. Any segment/match being submitted for the show MUST be turned into one of the staff members by the day of the show at least two hours before the show goes on the air (Tuesdays) or it will not be included into the show. NO EXCEPTIONS. 1. Rules for using other characters in segments apply. You MUST get the approval of the handler before writing a segment using their character. 2. Staff reserves the right to use any character for segment purposes to start/further storylines/feuds. We will try our hardest to stay within your character's persona. IV. Matches/Cards a. How Matches Are Determined i. Staff will determine the outcome of your matches via your promos i.e. role-plays and sometimes storylines. The number of role-plays is a factor but it should be known that it is quality NOT quantity that wins matches. ii. Another determining factor in match voting is consistency. RPing every week does not necessarily guarantee you a win. If you're RPing one time each week, and then post the maximum number of RPs at a PPV or another important match, that is not considered consistent. iii. Also, some matches will be determined based on storylines. That means there is a possibility of an angled win/loss. If you cannot handle this possibility, then PWA is not the place for you. b. Receiving a match i. If you're new to PWA, please follow the 'sign up' guidelines at the top of this page. Only after completion of your character/team bio, AND posting of a general RP, will you be booked on the very next show. It may be a long wait, we understand, but we encourage those newcomers to stick out the short wait. There's a good chance that you may make an appearance on the already booked show. ii. If you're a current member, or a new member, of the roster, and would like a match with a certain other roster member, please PM a staff member and request your match. iii. As it stands now, PWA does not have a separate Women's Division. That means female characters will be booked against male characters in single's matches, tag team matches, and specialty matches (i.e. Battle Royals, triple threat, fatal four-way, etc.). If you would rather not see your character in such inter-gender matches, we think PWA is not the place for you. PWA views each of their characters equally, and will not play favorites to anyone. c. Title Matches i. If you hold a title, you will be expected to defend your title at least once or twice a month (Especially at PPV’S). However, you may also choose to defend your title more than twice a month. ii. If you lose a title, you have the right to request a rematch, at any time, within a one-month period. Failure to request a rematch within the one-month period will automatically void any rematch request, unless another title is won, and then lost. d. Timing of a Weekly Card i. The card for the next week will be up the day of the weekly results (Tuesday for PWA Madness). ii. Only RPs posted under the Madness RPs board will count towards the weekly show. iii. RP deadline is at (Sunday at 11:59pm EST, ~5:59am GMT Monday) iv. We will try our best at getting PWA Madness up on time. e. Timing of a PPV Event i. The card for the PPV will be posted the night of the last PWA Madness before the PPV. ii. Only RPs posted under the PPV RPs board will count towards the pay-per-view. iii. RP deadline is at (Sunday at 11:59pm EST, ~5:59am GMT Monday) iv. We will try our best at getting the PPV up on time. V. The Staff a. All decisions made by the Staff are usually final. But if there is legit reason for something to be taken into consideration about a Staff members decision then it will be. b. If you feel that a booking decision is biased, approach a Staff member directly. DO NOT MAKE PUBLIC ACCUSATIONS REGARDING THE JUDGING OF MATCHES. c. PWA Staff reserves the right to reject any storyline idea for any reason at any time. It's best to check with the staff prior to executing your proposed storyline to ensure it adheres to the rules and is suitable for all viewers. d. PWA Staff are subject to all rules entailed herein, as is the same with all wrestlers. |
