WHO VOTES?
A collective of at least 9 non-participating voters, along with volunteer Staff from the Participating Federations and Affiliates will be voting. No one competeing will be allowed to vote.
HOW DO I VOLUNTEER TO VOTE?
Just sign up with an account (if you haven't already) and send a PM to Mac (@ admin on EWC forums) requesting to be a voter
HOW ARE THE ROLE-PLAYS JUDGED?
Since there are several voters from several different federations, everyone has a different perspective on what they like/dislike in a promo. However we will closely follow the same voting format as the EWC states in its Rule book ... which is as follows:
QUALITY over QUANTITY.
Yes, it is possible (and has been done many times in EWC) for someone to write an 800 word promo and successfully defeat someone who wrote 3,000 or more words. It’s not about the word count, it’s about making the words count.
The EWC does not follow a point system for voting on matches. Instead we basically run down some basic criteria but ultimately it comes down to personal preference. We purposely have a minimum of 3-5 voters on all matches, for all brands to keep things as fair as possible. We also post the winners in advance in our staff section so that if any staff feel a win/loss should be changed, we have ample time to discuss.
KEY QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF:
Does the backstory (if you add backstory) make sense?
Does the backstory or rp in general drag on?
Can I say the same things in fewer words?
Is there relevance to my match/do I talk about my match?
Did I spend time talking about my opponent?
Did I show that I know my opponent? (did I do homework?)
Was I creative or do I drag on?
- Relevancy/Argument
Relevancy is simple. Did you talk about your match or story-line or successfully advance your character in a meaningful way. Ultimately, your case for winning has to make sense. We look for Opponent Relevance, Match Relevance, Valid Points and Facts, did you do your homework?. Most feds just want you to “talk about your opponent” but anyone can do that. Here, we want to see that you've done your homework and really made a case for why your character is going to win.
- Entertainment / Creativity
Is it enjoyable and interesting or does it go on and on and on? Are you creative or is it dull and boring? Did you try and cram extra words in to appear longer? If so, you probably lost us and the match.
- Flow
Did the role play flow well? Was I able to follow along or did you lose me? Are you jumping around all over the place or is everything clearly stated? Can we clearly tell who is speaking?
CUT OFF DATE TO JOIN
The cut-off date to join this tournament is MONDAY NOVEMBER 7TH 2016 @ 11:59PM CST
HOW MANY WRESTLERS CAN THE TOURNAMENT HOLD?
In 2012 we had 64 sign up. However I have no problem having more or less. We will see where we are at on the 7th of November and go from there. I'd like to have a minimum of 30 and a max of about 100. All depends on the demand of this years tournament
HOW DO I JOIN THE TOURNAMENT?
You need to do TWO things to get accepted into the tournament.
First: You MUST REPLY to this thread with your Wrestlers Full Name and the Federation you are representing (if you are representing one).
Second: you will go HERE and fill out/post the profile. Once you have done both, you are AUTOMATICALLY entered to compete.
CAN YOU JOIN AS MORE THEN ONE WRESTLER?
If you can handle it, then sure. But please use a different account for each Wrestler. Do NOT sign up as multiple entrants with the same user account. We won't accept them. This is to YOUR benefit. The more organized YOU are the better and easier it is for the voters to vote properly.
IF I JOIN KING OF THE CAGE, DO I NEED TO ALSO JOIN THE EWC?
Oh gosh no. There is no obligation at all, and we wont pester you to join either. However by all means take full advantage of being active on the forums. We are excited to have you as guests. Should you decide at any point to join the EWC, then that is awesome. We are happy to have you.
WHO IS PUTTING UP THE MONEY? HOW CAN I BE SURE I'LL BE PAID?
I am putting the full amount up myself. So that's a total of $175USD being paid out in this years tournament. Should you wish to help out or should you wish to INCREASE the winning pot, then by all means you can send donations to us. The donation button can be found on the left hand side of the forums at the bottom (when viewed in Desktop mode). Please specifically mention what the donation is for (1st, 2nd, 3rd, to be divided equally, to help cover the $175 etc) All winnings are paid out via pay-pal, so as long as you have an account, you will be paid. If you have questions about my ability to keep my word, simply ask around, or ask the final three from 2015 as they were all paid via pay-pal.
WHEN WILL THE CARD BE POSTED
The card will be posted on November 8th 2016
WHEN CAN I START ROLE-PLAYING?
Immediately after the Card goes up on the 8th, you can start. Keep in mind, you will not know who you are facing at any point in the tournament. So the card will simply state who will be competing so that you can properly prepare/craft your role-play.
WHAT ARE THE ROLE-PLAY DEADLINES?
There is only ONE role-play deadline this year. Once the Card goes up on the 8th, you will have approximately 11 (Eleven) days until the Final Role-play Deadline, which is Friday November 18th @ 11:59PM CST.
So to re-cap:
ROLE-PLAY(S) Due FRIDAY NOVEMBER 18th @ 11:59PM CST [POST IT HERE]
I HAVE A QUESTION THAT ISN'T ANSWERED ON HERE
Simply send me (on the EWC forums) a message and I will do my best to answer in a timely fashion.
