2013 TIPSTERS: Royal Rumble/Sign-Up Thread (Match added)
 
First, let's establish the rules:

SPOILER: show
[Howard Finkel]

Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for twelve falls, and it is for the 2013 TPWW Tipsters Championship! The rules of this contest are as follows:

For each match, you will predict the outcome. The usual things to predict are:
Winner: The winner of the match
How: Pinfall, Submission, DQ, etc.
Move: The move that determines how the match ends
Successfully predicting the Winner is worth 50 points. In addition to How and Move, some matches may have other predictions to make. Successfully predicting these other parts of the outcome are 25 points each, but only if you also predict the Winner correctly. Some matches will have additional "bonus" questions, and predicting the Winner correctly is not necessary to get these bonus points. For the "Big 4" PPVs, the points for the entire PPV will be doubled.

Miscellaneous details:
SPOILER: show

If you predict the winning move as "his finisher" or "her finisher" for someone who has multiple finishers, I'm going to randomly determine which finisher you meant.

If you think a match will end in disqualification by interference, "How: DQ; Move: Interference" is sufficient. If you think a match will end in a pin after interference, you still need to predict the move that ends the match.


The winner (highest scorer) of each PPV will pick a bonus match for the next PPV to be worth double points.

In order to be eligible to participate, you must meet at least three of the following criteria:
  1. You must have at least 750 posts.
  2. You must have been a regular contributor to the wrestling forum for the past nine months.
  3. You must have positive reputation.
  4. You must have fully participated (not missing a single PPV) in a previous season of Tipsters.

If you miss three PPVs, you will be dropped from Tipsters. If you don't think you're going to have time to participate, then please don't sign up.

[/Howard Finkel]


Now that The Fink is done explaining the rules, let's do this.


Since the Royal Rumble is a Big 4 PPV, matches will have their points doubled. And yes, that means bonus matches will have their points quadrupled. Since this is the start of a new season, both the winner of last season (Blakeamus) and the winner of the last PPV (glanville6) will each pick a bonus match for the Royal Rumble, assuming they sign up.

Fucking in!

Tazz Dan 01-22-2013 03:01 AM

You dirty motherfucking slut

Tazz Dan 01-22-2013 03:01 AM

Also, will post my intention to play in proper form by doing my tips later this evening xoxo

James Diesel 01-22-2013 03:06 AM

Just curious about these rules here. If one is ineligible to participate due to missing a period of time of Tipsters, wouldn't that make it impossible for next year for anyone who never got the chance to participate? (Assuming the same rules apply to next year)

Secondly, if one missed a portion due to uncontrollable circumstances, does that still void one from eligibility?

Poit 01-22-2013 03:07 AM

You only need to meet three of the four criteria.

Tazz Dan 01-22-2013 03:08 AM

Says meet at least three.

Tazz Dan 01-22-2013 03:09 AM

But you're ineligible due to dropping out last year. Sorry :-\

Poit 01-22-2013 03:13 AM

Wait, what?

Ah. I see. I missed that fine print there. Well, unless I don't meet 3 of said criteria, I would like to enter again this year.

And yea, I had shit posts over the weekend. New days, new posts.

Poit 01-22-2013 03:14 AM

You appear to be a regular poster with 750+ posts and positive rep, so yes, you're eligible.

And what do you mean fine print? Fine print is not bolded!

Poit 01-22-2013 04:21 AM

I just edited out the How for the WHC match, since it was announced tonight to be a Last Man Standing match.

Tazz Dan, you may want to change your Move selection, if you hadn't already taken that into account.

James Diesel 01-22-2013 04:32 AM

Wait I don't get the random entry thing. Last it year it was #2 and #30, so did I do it right this time or what's up?

Poit 01-22-2013 04:33 AM

To clarify, the first random entry means the first entry that isn't predetermined. So, if someone is predetermined to be #1, and someone else is predetermined to be #2, the first random entry is whoever #3 is. Likewise for the last random entry.

Basically, I don't read Smackdown spoilers, and I didn't want to have to read spoilers to know what numbers to put there.

Bad News Gertner 01-22-2013 04:35 AM

I'm in

James Diesel 01-22-2013 04:36 AM

Ah, okay. I'll leave them blank till we get some answers

That makes it hard for others in the same boat too though. If I don't read the spoilers and pick someone, and it's been pre-determined how would I know?

James Diesel 01-22-2013 04:42 AM

I'm sure someone can just say "Hey numbers #1 and (potentially) #2 are taken" so it'd be #2 (or #3) and #30.

Tazz Dan 01-22-2013 04:45 AM

Fair point. Cheers for that.

Personally, I don't see why anyone who cares about avoiding Smackdown spoilers would make their Tipsters picks before watching Smackdown.

Tazz Dan 01-22-2013 04:46 AM

That is also a very good Poit.

Tazz Dan 01-22-2013 04:46 AM
