This thread will serve as clarification of various aspects of the NWPC format.
The Event
The standard NWPC event consists of predictions for 2 or more wrestling shows.
It consists of two parts: the Title Match and the Free-For-All.
The Title Match is between the current champion and the winner of the previous event's Free-For-All.
Predicting
You will predict the results of the matches that were announced for the shows involved at the time of the event being posted. No later matches are added.
You must predict one winner. Draws and no-contests cannot be predicted.
The exception to the draw rule being Japanese Young Lion matches because it is often expected they will end in time limit draws. In that case, it is allowed to predict a draw for that match only.
Late predictions will not be accepted. Pay attention to the deadline posted in the thread. It is intentionally set as one hour before belltime of the first show involved.
Partial predictions will not be accepted.
Scoring and Winning
Scores will be sorted by: highest prediction score, then highest number of tiebreak (TB) points, then earliest submission.
Earliest submission applies only for the Free-For-All; a Title Match cannot be decided by earliest submission, for reasons of fairness.
Tiebreaks
Tiebreak (TB) points are used to separate participants whose prediction score is the same as each other.
The questions will vary between events.
However, questions that will always be asked are: which match will be the longest, and which match will be the shortest, out of all matches you predicted for.
Card Subject To Change
If a match ends in a draw or no contest (except Young Lion matches), it will be struck from the record and will not be counted as a correct or wrong prediction for anyone.
If a match has the entirety of one side replaced, it will be struck off similarly.
If one member of a stable is switched out for another for a tag team match, this is not grounds to strike the match off.
The Season and the Rankings
The Rankings keep track of how predictors are doing in relation to each other.
Rankings are ordered by:
At the end of the Season, the top of the Rankings will become official Predictor of the Season.
No-Shows
While no one is expected to predict on every event if you're just in the Free-For-All, there's a lot of benefits to doing so.
For one thing, it's easy to get an edge in the Rankings just by building up little positive prediction records bit by bit.
You'll also earn my appreciation and respect.
If you are in a Title Match, you are expected to appear.
If you no-show a Title Match, you'll be counted as taking wrong predictions for every single match on the card.
This, obviously, will not reflect well on your position in the Rankings.

The Rankings keep track of how predictors are doing in relation to each other.
Rankings are ordered by:
- Prediction score difference (right predictions minus wrong predictiona)
- Number of right predictions
- Number of TB points
- Number of events predicted for
At the end of the Season, the top of the Rankings will become official Predictor of the Season.
