Official Rules of Razorback Championship Wrestling

1. Applications


Each potential roster member of RCW is required to fill out an application prior to joining. If everything is in order, you may expect a prompt response from a member of management confirming your addition to the roster. If further details are required, a PM will be sent to you. Please modify your application on the boards with the required info, and alert the member of management who contacted you that the changes have been made.

Things to consider when submitting an application:

- RCW restricts the use of any real wrestler as a pic base to one roster member at a time. Please note that all a worker's gimmicks are considered one wrestler, meaning if RCW had a wrestler on its roster with a Kane pic base, you may not use a Unabomb/Isaac Yankem/ Fake Diesel pic base.

2. TV/PPV Bookings

RCW's Southern Dynamite airs from the Fayetteville Boys & Girls club, Friday nights on VS Network.

Any active RCW member, unless they post that they will be unable to rp for a certain week(s) show, is considered able to be booked. Preferences as to whether you're in a competive match, or wish to feature your wrestler in a squash match, will be considered. RCW also features a Live Event Bulletin, this is comparable to the old TV territory days, or WWF Superstars. If you wish to be interviewed on the Live Event Bulletin, please contact a member of the staff via PM and let them know.

Anyone booked in a "jobber match" for Southern Dynamite is still required to post an rp during the rp period. If they do not, they will be considered a no-show and will be subject to rule number 8. Please consider the jobber matches a showcase of what you can do.

3. Roleplaying

For Southern Dynamite: Roleplaying for TV matches may begin after the posting of the line-up and rp threads. The deadline is always announced on the card line-up, which is promptly at 11:59 central time (board time) Thursday night. Our rp limit for SD is one per person, per match. If you wish to do more than one rp for your match, only your best one will count towards your final score.

RP's may be posted straight to the board, or may be linked to an HTML page. Please keep in mind that there is to be no explicit nudity/sexual activity, drug use, or uncensored cursing aside from what is currently acceptable on broadcast TV. Blurred images and censored words ("M____f____", s**t, F$@#k, etc.) are ok.

Pay-Per-View events have an rp limit of two per person, per match. Again, if you wish to do more, only your best two will count towards scoring. Keep in mind the rules above when rping for these events, considering your promos will still air on the VS Network.

4. Punishable RP Actions

The following infractions are NOT allowed in RCW:


- Use of another handler's character in any fashion unless given permission by said handler
- Use of RCW Play-by-Play or Color man, nor RCW Front Office AJ Supreme or Ben Jacobs, without RCW management's permission
- Plagiarism of a roleplay, either in whole or in part.
- "Recycling" of a rp or segment a handler has done previously or in RCW, while allowed, is frowned upon and WILL impact your rp score negatively.

RCW management reserves the right to deal with all above infractions in a fair and impartial manor. Potential penalties (based on severity of the infraction and/or whether said handler is a repeat offender) include point deductions, decision to nullify an rp in whole or in part, loss of booking, suspension, and in extreme cases, removal from the fed.

Any handler witnessing any of the above infractions are to contact management with available information. Any complaints will be investigated, and if requested, the reporting handler's identity can be kept confidential.

5. Match Writing

RCW roster members are encouraged and expected to write their matches. Matches are due by 10 AM central (board time), with no exceptions unless expressly stated, so that TV can be written promptly. Management will post a weekly sign-up for match writing volunteers. One or both handlers in a match may handle match writing duties, and collaboration is encouraged. However, unless told otherwise by management, or if the match has been previously decided to be angled, please either include no match finish, or two match finishes, one with each side winning.

Squash matches, as by their nature, are one-sided quick victories, so matches are not anticipated to be very long. While jobbers are not expected to have offensive maneuvers, please do not write for the jobber to be stretched out, seriously injured, etc without clearance from a member of management.

6. No Real Wrestlers

You can have a picture based off of a wrestler, the only thing we ask is you not give your character the real name of a wrestler. (I.e. Cena, Edge, Batista, etc...) ALSO do NOT use any reference to real wrestlers in your roleplays. The RCW is in a different universe than the real wrestling world. Breaking this barrier WILL affect your roleplay score in a negative manner.

7. Scoring Guidelines

All rp's done for RCW (except for jobber matches) are judged based on the following criteria:

Formatting - Takes into account the layout of the rp. Also, how does the writing flow? Is it long enough to convey everything presented? Is it relatively free of spelling and grammar mistakes?

Character Development - How well does the rp establish the wrestler as a 3-dimensional character?

Focus - Does the rp get across all the things going on involving this character in RCW? Does it sufficiently address the opponent for the upcoming match?

General Appeal - How entertaining/good would someone not affiliated with the fed find the rp? Would it make them interested in what the character's doing and where they're headed?

For Southern Dynamite, each category counts 5 points/ea for a max possible score of 20. For PPVs, each category is worth 25 points/ea for a max of 100.

8. No Shows

Anyone who is booked for a match, either for Southern Dynamite or PPV, and does not post any rps for their match will not be booked again, nor will any of their segments appear on a show, until 2 role plays have been posted by that wrestler on the character development board.
