The F1 Climaxxx 2022.
As you can see from the recently posted schedule, a lot of the fall/winter schedule features matches in the F1 Climaxxx. This will be a twelve-person, G1-style tournament, with the winner receiving a shot at the FWA World Championship at The Grand March.
The tournament will be divided into two pools of six. The round robin stages will take place in the five episodes of Fallout and Meltdown that occur between Lights Out and the January PPV. The finals will be at said January PPV.
Participation in this tournament will be voluntary, in that staff will reach out to you before announcing the pools to ask if you want to be in the tournament. We will prioritise the order of selection as follows:
- Champions in the FWA will be invited to the tournament first. This is the FWA World Champion, the FWA World Tag Team Champions, the FWA X Champion, the FWA North American Champion, and the FWA Television Champion.
- If all six champions were to agree to participate, this leaves six slots. The grade averages between the Anniversary Show and Lights Out (inclusive of those shows) will be used, with the top six non-Champions listed being invited to participate. As always, two promos must have been counted in that time for a character to be considered. No shows counted as a zero.
- A maximum of one character per handler can enter the tournament. With the grade averages, it will be the character highest in the averages for that handler that will be invited. No swapsies (unless a handler has two characters that are eligible going by list of priority, in which case they can choose which one they wish to enter, if any).
After these twelve people have got back to the mods, we will then fill up remaining slots from the next characters in the grade average rankings for the above time frame (if the handlers want in).
If the FWA World Champion should win the F1 Climaxxx, they can pick their next challenger at The Grand March. They are, of course, under no obligation to enter.
A point on champions entering. This would be a long engagement, and so you would be expected to defend your title at least once on the shows from Meltdown XXI to Fallout 025. This would mean double duty and two promos in a cycle. So, you'd defend your belt on Meltdown XXIII, maybe, and then have your F1 match on Fallout 023. We would listen to when it would be best for you to do this double booking. Please consider that the window for Fallout and Meltdown promos will at this stage be the same, but you will be allowed to get an extension for the Fallout promo only (with the usual rules for that).
New members will just about have enough time to secure qualification, if they wish to do so, so long as they submit promos for the two remaining cycles (Fallout 020/Meltdown XX and Lights Out).
