Quick question regarding the use of non-wrestlers. Do they need to be added to the roster in order to use them in a promo or segment? I'm specifically referring to the use of the Jackass Entourage with Johnny Knoxville. Is that allowed or would I have to add any individual members to the roster to use them?

Per me, Dash and Hodge; anyone on a card has to be part of your official roster. If you are doing a federation thread and want to include them in a segment or promo there for flavor, that's acceptable.

So making sure I understand it. Can’t be an official match participant because that puts them on the card. But could be in a segment or even possibly as a run in similar to what actually happened at Wrestlemania this year.

Basically, and I’ll be corrected if I’m wrong, they can not be on the card submitted, in any form, for the showdown portion. If you want to post a thread with results and details, and include them, you can but it won’t/shouldn’t be taken into account when voting on which card you’d rather see.


ETA: on your card can be Johnny Knoxville vs Sami Zayn, not Johnny Knoxville w/Jackass Crew vs. Sami Zayn. And the card submitted should just be a list of actual matches. If you want to add results as a comment, including the Jackass Crew, you can but again it shouldn’t be taken into account when choosing between cards.

Cole,

If you want more Jackasses, you have to draft them like I did in Rounds 39 and 40.

[Leo]

Dev's interpretation is mostly correct. If you didn't draft someone you can't list them on your card in anyway, shape or form. Not in a match, not a promo, not a backstage segment, nothing. If I get a card submitted and it includes non-drafted talent, I'll erase that portion.

So, if you do an independent separate from your card federation thread, like others have already started, and want to do a promo or something there including those guys, then that's okay. But as Dev wrote, you can't submit a card with something like 'Johnny Knoxville with Jackass Crew vs. Sami Zayn' unless you have drafted the other Jackass guys individually or pickup in add/drop.

In summary, you can't list anyone on a card that isn't an official part of your 45 man roster.

Draft voting

I will be handling the cards and voting portion of the draft. We will be using the powerball system, which we have found is the most fair way to declare winners in the preliminary rounds.

Submitting Cards
Cards are to be submitted to me by direct message by the deadline set.
You can see cards from years past to get a sense of format, but we’re not a stickler on that. Cards basically need to list talents used and matches. If you want to fill in storylines, do promos, etc.; that’s what the individual roster threads are for you can create yourself.

Voting
There will be a thread listing all cards per round together.
You will send me a DM listing five cards you’re voting for by listing the name of the submitter/drafter.
Of those five cards, you will choose one to receive a powerball. Just write powerball or PB after the person’s name.

Each vote is worth one point with the powerball worth two points. You must vote for five cards and give a powerball each round.

The first three rounds will be this method. The fourth round will be head-to-head of the top points getter against the fourth seed and the second seed and against the third seed. The final round will be head-to-head against the two rosters that advance from the final four.

If there is a tie for declaring the final four, the tie breaker will be most powerballs received overall.
Any ties for the final four or finals will be broken via the vote of a neutral party.

No voting for yourself in the preliminary rounds. In the final four and finals you may vote for yourself as they are head-to-head.

Penalties
To get people to participate there will be penalty points given for the first three rounds.

No card submitted by deadline: -5 points
No votes submitted by deadline: -5 points
Don’t vote for five cards total: -2 points
Don’t give a powerball: -2 points
Voting for yourself: -1 point

Deadlines
There will be 48 hours per voting and 24 hours to submit the next card. Deadline to submit cards will be 8 p.m. on the given day and voting will end at 8 p.m. on the given day.

Round 1 cards due by 8 p.m. May 23 with votes due by 8 p.m. May 25
Round 2 cards due by 8 p.m. May 26 with votes due by 8 p.m. May 28
Round 3 cards due by 8 p.m. May 29 with votes due by 8 p.m. May 31
Final Four cards due by 8 p.m. June 1 with votes due by 8 p.m. June 3
Final cards due by 8 p.m. June 4 with votes due by 8 p.m. June 6

Cliff has the last official pick at 680 and has until noon to make it before clocking out. Eco has a floater at 675 and SG has a floater at 671 (due to Billy Kidman mispick all his other picks were moved up a slot). All floaters can be taken prior to noon Thursday.

Ah shoot, still haven't posted the end of the NWA. Let me take my pick, hidden behind a spoiler tag (and if someone takes this pick in add/drop because I hid this pick, I will relinquish):

Actually thinking on the add drop, a question for the stats keepers. I was curious if records are kept of the add drop period who the biggest drop ever was. Like if someone dropped their round 1 pick or something.
