I was thinking about starting a little "Friendly" Show so to speak.
A Friendly Unofficial Tournament would be held every 2 weeks. In addition to that there would also be a little "24/7" unofficial title and non-title Challenge matches.
I will explain each of the aspects written above:
1) Tournament: Every 2 weeks a sign up would be held, during a period of 2 days. After the two days have passed, I'll set up the tournament tree (using a random selector, to chose opponents) and 3 days would be given for the competitors to play their matches. Once you win/lose you'd report it in the match and try to contact the winner of the other match to get the next round of the tournament done. If there will be too many people signed up for the tournament to be done in 3 days, I'll extend the deadline (the reason we'll hold them once every 2 weeks).
I'll update the tournament tree as soon as I can, but with the results posted the tournament can be played even if I'm not online.
2) 24/7 title: This is an unofficial title with a special stipulation. It can be defended against anybody, any time and anywhere. This is the only part of the project that has Role Playing as a mandatory aspect.
First person to sign up for this (when the sign ups will be open, NOT NOW) will have to post a RP about "winning" the title from an unknown champion. As soon as that happens the person becomes the current champion and will have to post something like "I am the current 24/7 champion" so people know who to challenge. From that point on anybody can challenge him. First person to challenge the champ gets the first match, and if there are more than 1 person challenging at the same time the match becomes a 3 way only if both challengers agree. If they disagree one of them just waits for the other to have his match.
Once a champion is defeated he cant challenge for the title again during 5 new challenges happen or a week has passed since his loss. Challengers have to wait for 2 new challenges once they lost in order to challenge again.
The challengers choose the match type (it can be any 1on1 match type), DQ must be off.
Once a champion is challenged he has 24 hours to reply and do the match. If he fails to do so, the title goes to the challenger. If a champ loses via "Count out", he'll be able to challenge again when he wants (not official so its not a big deal, and it helps us move faster)
Now to the RP part. Challengers must RP their challenge in the backstage area. You have to describe the way you arrive, what match you're chosing, where you are (in case its a backstage brawl) etc.
Once you win the title, you have to post a little summary of the match, and even add a few "RP" bits.
If you dont want to bother doing RPs like every 2 days, just simply challenge the champion when you feel like Role Playing.
3) Challenges: -
Weekly Challenges: Every week I'll post a challenge. This will require trustworth people and I'll explain why.
Let's say this week the challenge is to beat an opponent in less than 10 minutes, or get 13 pins in an ironman match etc. People that plan on competing in the weekly chalenges will have to sign-up in a provisional list (anybody can join any time, just need a list to be sure we have at least more than 4 ppl). And of course if a match ends in 9 minutes or so,or somebody gets 13 pins, his opponent has to confirm it or we wouldn't know (unless matches are recorded, which I can't do).
There can be more than 1 winner, but everybody has only 1 shot at a challenge. (if we lack people, a person can compete in a match with somebody else, but his 2nd match wouldn't count for the challenge, he'd do it just to help the guy that has no opponent)
There will be a list of all the challenges we'll do over the weeks, and if you do it you'll get your name on the "challege acomplished" list.
-Challenge matches: Basically dark matches, but we could have RPs about it. THink you lost the 24/7 title, or you lost in the tournament and you want a rematch, you could challenge some one for a match, or even a Role Play session. (RPs will be posted in the Backstage area)
This part is just meant to get people that do dark matches to practice their RPs.
You can even have a "RP match" with some one, like team up with a member and post a role play match, explaining how the match goes, and promos and W/E you want. (just trying to give people a reason to RP)
And now here are the eventual rules this would have.
- Spoiler:
RULES:
- All COTR forum rules apply
- COTR match rules apply except the signature/finisher moves rule
- All 24/7 title matches will be no DQ
- RPs for the 24/7 title are a "must-do", while it is optional to RP for the tournament
- Challenge room can just be ignore, as its just there in case somebody want to makea little RP sesion related to this little "show"
- If you are signed up and can't or don't want to do the match(es) just announce us so it ca move on

I'm willing to start this, or at least the tournament part of it, next week if I get enough people to do so.
Go ahead and vote if you'd like to participate and feel free to post ideeas, point out problems or ask questions about any doubt you might have regarding this ideea.
