Tag Team notes, stipulations, more (all read)

[Ryan Ro [NAPW]]

This information is mostly for the benefit of new folks, but the NAPW vets can stand to check it out again as well.

-The following applies to the onslaught of tag matches I had to book next week to get everybody on the show. Bo already wrote this so I'll just repost it.

Tag matches are a RP limit of four per team. Most people know this. I have some different pairings on Action and with Lethal Lottery coming up, I want to make sure the new guys know some things.

With an RP limit of four per team, you can do four collabs, two each, three to one, whatever. My advice would be to do two and leave two for your partner. But on the final day, its up to you to do another, if your partner bails. The 6 hour bomb rule is in affect PER TEAM. Only one TEAM MEMBERS RP will be accepted and it will be the first RP posted, if the rule is broken.

So PM your partner to get (BLEEP) straight!

-Regarding stipulations:

If you think a match needs stips, any kind of stips, PLEASE ask one of us first. This isn't a new thing that people are doing. It might not seem like a big deal, but "specialty" matches, aren't special if a) theres already several on a show... b) the match up doesn't warrant one. or c) we saw that stip last month.

This goes out to everyone from the main eventers, to brand new guys... come with us first, get permission.. THEN challenge. I'm not saying they can't be done, just that you need to get it approved.

Wow. We have an absolutely stacked roster. I have match limits on each show. TNF = 6, Action! = 5. Action! next week is 7 matches. New guys, give Bo and I some grace to get everybody sorted out. I like to keep singles wrestlers as singles wrestlers unless there's a story for the tag usually.

The roster size means probably more matches per show, which means we need more help. IF you've written matches before, please offer as often as you can. If you're new but think you can write a match in TNF or Action format, put your name in the various "match writers" threads as appropriate.

I cut Technique for double no-showing. If you're going to be unable to RP, let Bo or myself know. Life happens. No-showing without any communication though? You're wasting everybody's time and a valuable slot on a card.

The roster is closed to all but tag teams, and even then I only plan to bring in one or two more. We have enough space on the roster we can build a team or two as it is.

Black Thursday II is on December 14th. Every member of the roster will be on the show. We will hold an Action! Battle Royale with some form of prize for the winner, just as we did last year. Rex Caliber won it and used it as a stepping stone to the NAPW Title.

Remember that NAPW is about working together to create the best promotion we can, not just about getting yourself over. We will work new guys in, but don't get upset if Bo and I aren't booking you into title matches right away. It's a big roster and we want to see what you can do and if you're going to stick around first. That said, a lot of storylines have been started on Action!. Work with them!

Any questions PM myself or Bo (Rex Caliber).

What if one person controls a tag team, is getting nowhere - can one of the guys try and go for singles gold? Kind of the reverse of the singles being booked as a tag rule.

I would book a tag team as a tag team unless informed otherwise by the handler. But sure, if you wanted to make a singles run it's all up to you.
