Alright, let's try this again.
If you don't know or don't remember, the Sims Writing Association or SWA, is a league of writing involving wrestling and you guys on the board. You are given a certain era, time period, match, event, etc. to rebook or rewrite in your own words and you go ahead-to-ahead against opponents. The board ultimately votes on which is best and then, you have yourself a victory. It's fairly simple, but it requires TIME AND EFFORT on all parts. Now, this idea has been tried a handful of times and each, it dies quickly because people do not have enough time or just do not want to put in the effort to get things completed. This time, which will be my last attempt, will last. I promise you that. I will run this thing until I receive no hand ins and you guys call me crazy for still trying. It seems that a few of you guys are back on board for this, so let's not screw it up this time. I, myself, will be participating in writing, but I will also be drawing up the cards & making the stipulations. I promise to be fair and not involve any kind of politics. Remember, this is for fun, but it can be a good way to improve writing skills and it can provide knowledge to older or unfamiliar times in wrestling.
Now, last time we had the SWA, I broke things down into three divisions; heavyweight, uprising (midcard) and rookie. This time, I will go a little differently. Competitors will still be broken into there categories, but instead of divisions, the categories will revolve around range of time periods. It's basically the same jist, but a different way to phrase it. There will be top prizes for each category (a title) and a ranking system for title shots. Like I said, basically the same, just a new name...
To make sure we don't burn out too quickly, I've decided to go with one show a month. Like I've said, I want this to last and for it to get time and effort devoted to it, so I feel this is the best way. I think at least 3 weeks to write is perfect and I would think more people would hand in. Also, a new rule: if you don't hand in, you are automatically sent to the bottom of the ranking in your category.
So I think that answers everything! Once everyone is signed up and ready to go, I'll throw up an official thread and such. This will have the match break downs, ranking system, schedule...you know the deal. Looking to have the first event at the end of February!
Any questions, feel free to ask!
