ARE YOU MADE OF STEEL?

"The KKL could use some fresh meat! I have become commissioner for the first time in order to rebuild the KKL. We have plenty of talent that makes it into the IWA Report frequently. I plan to have a $100,000 battle royal and hand out another $180,000 in rewards for our first PPV winners (the May cycle is bulletin #73; the PPV will be held in cycle #79).

"I-cash and free matches are handed out frequently, and the league also features lots of PPV's and tournaments. There will be a Wrestler of the Year award, along with second and third place winners in January. Other titles to compete for include Stable of the Year, King of Kings (battle royal), and MVP of the Year.

"As first-time commish, I plan to hold nothing back and make this the best league the IWA has to offer. Join the KKL and see if you can take on the World Six-man Champions. I wish I could tell you more, but there isn't enough space to mention all the contests and rewards that I have in store for you. So don't hesitate -- join the KKL today!"

(Transfers to the KKL are FREE, as long as the transferring wrestlers are active the same cycle they arrive.)

Don't waste your time looking around for a perfect league -- THE BEST OF THE BEST RESIDE HERE! We have tons and tons of trash talk every cycle.

WIN A LEGEND IN THE OSL

"Currently, the OSL is split between the Old School and New School, and as the battle heats up, new wrestlers are needed for both sides. In the spirit of competition, the contract of a HoF-worthy wrestler has been put up to bring out the best in everyone. Based upon a ranking system of in-league and Report winnings, mixed with points for trash talking, every wrestler will have a chance to win. The more you do and accomplish, the better chance you have, so get to the OSL soon and start building up points! At the end of the year, each point will be converted into a ticket, and a drawing will take place to see who wins the contract of a wrestler who is ready for the Hall of Fame. Please contact OSL Commissioner Mike Cook by sending an e-mail to michael.cook followed by the @ symbol, and then wku.edu if you have any further questions."

CALLING ALL IRON MEN

"Think that you are an Iron Man? Do you think that you have an Iron Team? Then why not try your hand in the WSL? The Spring, 2009 cycle was #38 for us. Our Iron Man competition sign-ups will be ending in cycle #41. This competition is open to the first 20 competitors to sign up. The winner will receive $25,000 in imaginary earnings. The team competition sign-ups will be ending in cycle #42; that portion of the event is open to the first 10 teams that sign up. The winning team will split the $25,000 prize. Want more? How about a free transfer to the league? Not enough? How about earning a bonus at the end of the year just for racking up titles? That's right, we hand out a $25,000 imaginary earnings bonus to our wrestler of the year. Still more? How about another $25,000 to share with your stablemates for being the top stable of the year? There is all of this and much more to our league. So head on over to www.iwa-wsl.com and check us out. (This link will open in a new browser window. The IWA is not affiliated with iwa-wsl.com, and is not responsible for any content on that website.) If you like what you see, then jump ship and join us for some fierce competition. Better hurry, because the free transfers end with the Iron Man challenge sign-up deadline."

-- Commissioner of the WSL

E-MAIL REMINDERS

Keep a copy of every e-mail you send us, and make sure iwa or IWA appears in the subject line to avoid any delays. If you do not receive a reply within 48 hours (not counting Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays), re-send your message. Kimberly replies to all legitimate e-mail.

Do not use attachments since your message will automatically be erased BEFORE it is opened or even previewed. This is to prevent the spread of computer viruses.

Finally, make sure to e-mail any matches, strategy changes, etc. at least 24 (and preferably more than 48) hours before your league will be processed.

NEW ROOKIE LEAGUE POLICY

From now on, managers may not create new wrestlers or transfer existing wrestlers into rookie leagues without permission from both the league commissioner and IWA Management. This protection does not expire after a certain number of cycles: it ends when it is agreed that managers in the league are ready to compete against more experienced players.

We hope this change will provide those who are new to the game with a chance to hone their skills on a more even playing field.

The Special Leagues page contains a list of our rookie leagues.

AN EXCEPTION TO OUR STABLE INITIALS POLICY

Our policy against changing stable initials after a league has been processed, but before The IWA Report has been published, failed to address the special nature of the World Wrestling League. Since this league does not allow stable initials, managers are prevented from gaining recognition for their group on an IWA-wide basis should they win a major title.

Attaching stable initials in The Report alone should have zero impact on in-league angles and storylines, since the WWL doesn't even use them (and by "them" we mean stable initials; the WWL certainly uses angles and storylines!). Because we are also able to afford our snail mail players the same option, we see no reason to prohibit managers from having Report-only initials in this league.

Several members of the WWW stable pointed out this shortcoming in our policy, although it just as easily could have been any other stable had its wrestlers won major titles from that league. We're glad this special circumstance occurred at the beginning of the year since it allows all groups to start on equal footing. (Remember that the January issue of The IWA Report actually lists the major champions from the final cycle of the previous year.)

NEW POLICY FOR CHANGING NAMES AND/OR STABLE INITIALS

Effective immediately, wrestlers may only change their names and/or stable initials at the time their league is processed. As usual, Kimberly has been too nice in honoring requests, and we feel the situation is getting out of hand. Allowing these changes to occur between bulletin mailings can create confusion, and leave managers who choose to play via snail mail feeling "out of the loop" or like less-valued members of our wrestling family.

We want to use the Internet to provide conveniences for all who play our game, but that must be balanced with keeping the emphasis on the league bulletins -- where the action is! When wrestlers are permitted to change these attributes between bulletin mailings, it makes on-line activity just as important as league activity; it's as if time doesn't "pause" between bulletins #34 and #35 like it should, but instead continues on in some arena that exists only on the Internet. That's obviously not fair to our snail mail players.

So from now on, wrestler information must remain a reflection of what is printed in the league bulletins. This should ensure that everyone -- whether on-line or not -- will be on the same page. You can decide for yourself if that was intended to be a pun. :)
