And for the record , i hate being the guy thay has to run rule over potential picks but i hope you all realise that I simply want to ensure the rules we outlined in the op are met. I want to reward research but not at the expense of the integrity of the rules.

I think one idea for next year is to make all wrestling promotions eligible from the start.

Tbf to you it’s all in the interest of fairness. You can’t let things slip or could become somewhat of a free for all. Great job so far Beak.

The picks are flowing nicely too. Can probably count on one hand picks being held up for more than a few hours.

This is definitely something I want to suggest once this years draft is over. Earlier in the draft I couldn't believe Pro Wrestling NOAH wasn't an eligible promotion. And with indie and Japanese wrestling being more popular than ever I think its time to change the eligible promotions

Ms Wrestling is a good pick to get, I actually thought she might have been gifted to Joe to join up with Johnny (DIY) in that round

Most years the rules were only really tweaked and it has been running 11 years now so tbh the OP probably needs some altering for next year (it's been copied and pasted from previous years by most people running it). In recent years I added things like the IWGP belt and Joe the womens but back at the start I think a lot of the rules (like the pre 70s rule) was to stop people picking rosters the casual fans might not know, Thing is every year it's our regular posters taking part and they are knowledgable so I think we can now allow all sorts of picks (non celeb wise at least). TBH even the non regulars can still make a roster of guys they know while enjoying that a great thing about the draft is that you can learn a lot from it. I don't think I fully knew who Misawa/Kobashi were the first year I entered and yet they have spent more time in the BWA than any other draft promotion.

I definitely think it needs an update. For me a big part of the draft should be picking guys/gals that others aren't familiar with like BH says about Kobashi/Misawa in his first year. Ringkampf was a team I knew I was going to draft all along and I'm sure a lot of people won't be familiar with them but maybe they will google them or look them up on YouTube and enjoy them.

I had planned from round 12 to allow all promotions to be eligible like in previous years.

Was not expecting a pick so soon and had no list of options, so I was lazy and picked someone who wrestled this morning and I knew was not picked already.

He was my planned pick so I kinda need some time now to look where I wanna go now.

Pick made and PM sent. Picking up Ki & 'Cide at this point feels like a steal. Delighted

Nearly took Low Ki with a different (inferior) partner in R9 so to get that pair at this stage is cracking value.

How can BH give up one person for a tag team when he used up all the tag team allowance already?

Should it not be a team for a team?

Or is a trade not counted. That is query rather than complaint.

Hes allowed draft 5 tag teams however trades are fair game to add more. If he can work out a deal which he has, then hes allowed. The 5 tag team rule only restricts his picks. The tag pick does effect slicks picks as the tag team he drafted and then traded counts as 1 of his teams



Ive only drafted 2 teams thus far. Eeek
