Important Resource For ALL Members: How will match results be determined?

HOW WILL MATCH OUTCOMES BE DETERMINED?

We're going to operate under two systems to simplify but also allow fair opportunity and recognition of hard work.





NON-TITLE PAY-PER-VIEW / WEEKLY MATCHES

We will be simulating them via The WWE 2K20 game with unlimited reversals, and equal overalls and paybacks. Let's dive deeper into that, so every Superstar will have a 100 overall and The Resiliency Payback. Additionally, members will be given a choice of which Level 1 Payback they would like their character to have. The options are

AUTO-REVERSAL
Use this ability to automatically perform a minor reversal. You cannot use this ability to perform Major Reversals or reverse Signature and Finisher attacks. This does not consume a Reversal stock.

POSSUM
Play possum and catch your opponent off guard with a pin or attack.

SPEED BUFF
This buff enhances your speed and agility. Additionally, it improves the rate at which you regenerate stamina and reversals.

FISTS OF FURY
This increases your striking power attributes. It also gives you a minor speed boost and improves striking reversals.

INSTANT RECOVERY
Use this ability to instantly recover after being knocked down. This includes a minor speed boost.





Admin IMAGOHARD2NITE will be handling our everyday simulations and while there was a suggestion to "live stream" these matches ultimately we need to make this process as simple as it can be and being able to stockpile matches and record immediately after we book them in house is what we view as the most successful course of action for all of us.





CHAMPIONSHIP MATCHES (AND MAYBE MORE?)

We'll be bringing together a panel of one admin and two members or two admins and three members to discuss everything that led up to those matches and the effort that was put in by the members involved. We will be asking the following questions:

What has the story sort of "dictated" should happen?

Should that happen?

Why should this Champion defeat this challenger?

Why should this challenger unseat this Champion?

The pros and cons of all outcomes as well as what could come next because of that decision.

XWL is now 100% story-based and so taking in every possible factor and detail is what this team will do when deciding the winners of each of these matches. Also in case, it's not obvious admins and members involved in these matches will not be on this team, while some people can be objective it's just simpler to not have someone in the room deciding on if they should or shouldn't win/lose their title. This also won't just be a matter of someone saying "I feel like blank should win" because this process is CRUCIAL to a successful year ahead.

Every person on this panel for each PPV cycle will need to provide multiple pieces of evidence supporting their decision to ensure it is both methodical and fair to everyone involved including the members receiving that decision. We want to be able to have information for them if they "lost" to state why and how they can change it next time possibly. This is a period of growth for XWL and we'll be empowering our members with feedback and tools to improve upon their base skills with promos to truly elevate stories and the overall "fun" of being apart of those stories.
