Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for twelve falls, and it is for the 2014 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:

The winner (highest scorer) of each PPV will pick a bonus match for the next PPV to be worth double points. If there are multiple previous winners, and therefore multiple bonus matches, the score multiplier will be split among the bonus matches (so with 2 bonus matches, each one would be x1.5 points). Also, multipliers will be additive, so a x2 bonus match on a Big 4 PPV will be worth x3 points, not x4.

Anyone is eligible to participate. However, it is recommended that you meet some of these 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 the previous season of Tipsters.

For each criteria you meet, you can miss one PPV. If you go over that limit, you'll be dropped from Tipsters. So, if you meet two of the criteria, you'll be dropped after missing three PPVs. If you meet no criteria, you'll be dropped after missing a single PPV. If you don't think you're going to have time to participate, then please don't sign up.
