Here's a bit of insight into why we've made changes in case you were wondering.


1.  The Layout, while great...could be a bit daunting at first glance, we've added graphics to clean it up, and separated our rules and policies into two separate threads so that you can find what you want. Be it the match rules, or our NEW and official policy on rematches. We think this will be much more pleasing to the eyes and we hope you'll agree and find things much easier.


2.  Honestly, changes NEEDED to be made regarding some match rules. Most people can't stand Pick Up Finishers so why was there nothing stating that people can't do those? Catch finishers are broken as hell considering if you dive at someone who has one all they have to do is mash Y nonstop and boom. It's a cool spot to have, but to be beaten by it, or have it influence the finisher score seemed really lame. Submissions, while we tried...the majority still do NOT enjoy them in their current form and so it's best to ban them so that others aren't having their experience ruined by being beaten by broken submissions.  


3.  Some people act like they don't know what waiting is, so thanks to our handy dandy new rules, we've included an official definition of that term for our benefit, and yours.



4.  Another thing that NEEDED to be addressed, is stamina. People know what waiting is, or at least now they do...so how can they not see that say...by leaning your opponent against the ropes, and then standing there for the number of seconds it takes to build your stamina up, and then doing an OMG dive they are essentially waiting?  


5.   We've updated our views on created content, including a clear cut list of abilities/skills that either only faces, only heels, or everyone can have. In case it's not clear, EVERYONE may add the following things listed under "EVERYONE can have" This means that everyone can finally have resiliency so you're truly on equal terms in matches more than ever.



6.  The Activity Policy at one time in it's old form was great, but right now...it's just impossible to expect everyone to do the whole one promo every two weeks thing. So for new members they must do one promo within their first two weeks. Regular members are expected to promo at least once every four weeks.



7.   There was not policy regarding what happens if someone is disconnected in a match, or what to do if someone breaks the rules in a match. Sure we had an unwritten process we took for past situations, but this is defined, and available for everyone's viewing so everyone is on the up and up about the process if needed.


8. One last thing (there's other changes but we kept the rules layout brief so you didn't have to read walls of text.) Anytime you do a match it's always been sort of a given you should make sure it's posted if you won especially, and make sure your opponent doesn't want to have something go up before/after it. So now that problem is solved.





I hope you'll all find the changes positive and as beneficial as we do, we think we covered everything that has in the past been a detriment to matches. But if you find that there's something we didn't address, or you have a suggestion by all means let us know here and we're happy to discuss anything. This might be ran by us five, but it is ALL of our league. And I'd like to thank all the members that took part in our recent poll where it was decided that all faces will be allowed comeback/fan favorite.
