Due to Britt Bakers injury and probability of not being able to compete at Double or Nothing, the following rule has been added:

10. If a straight singles or tag-team match is cancelled, or one side of the match is replaced after the match card is posted for predictions, either due to injury or any other reason, then this match will be declared null and void and nobody will recieve any points for the match that didn't take place.

Rule 4 has been ammended to read:

"If two competitors score the same amount of points for any given show then the individual that was placed higher in the World Prediction Rankings going in to that show wins the championship...."

The "first to post wins" rule has gained some negative criticism, and we want this to be something enjoyable for all. We have rankings and it makes sense that being higher in those rankings should be a benefit to those that are doing well.

@Davey Wrestling is tag teaming aloud or just singles competing mate??

 

[Davey Wrestling]

Hello - not sure how tag-teaming would work in the context of a singles championship?

Tag-team competition though.... that may or may not be something that I've got an idea for (if it were something I was going to introduce, we'd need get some distance from the King of the Ring first )....

In order to add some consistancy and clarity to when the card to predict on will be posted, Rule 7 has been ammended to read:

7. The thread to predict in and the final card to predict on will be posted to the forum on a Thursday afternoon/evening. It will be posted by 10pm (UK time) at the latest. This card will not be altered after the initial post is made.
