FREE TRANSFERS TO THE DDL

For the next three cycles (beginning with the September cycle), transfers into the Dark Days League are FREE! Since it's a Hardcore league, you cannot have more than 6 wrestlers in it at a time. The DDL is in the Diamond Federation.

ICWF SEEKING SERIES

The Commissioners of the ICWF, I.B. Pigskin and Howard Jones, are looking to turn the IGL/CFL into a true battleground in order to promote their leagues. To further their goals, they are providing a bonus $500,000 in imaginary money to the winner of any series in the IGL or CFL! The only stipulations are:

1. The managers and wrestlers must reside in the CFL or IGL (this can include series where one manager resides in the CFL and the other in the IGL).
2. The series must be between wrestlers managed by two separate people.
3. The series must consist of at least 7 matches.
4. In order to be eligible for the bonus money, the commissioner of the league must sanction the series.

Send an e-mail to iwacflcommish (followed by the @ symbol, and then yahoo.com) if you have any questions.

AN EXCERPT FROM THE RYL COMMISSIONER'S REPORT

"... My next announcement contains a way to boost activity here in the RYL. In conjunction with the PPV in cycle 33, there will be a one-shot deal in RYL #36: RYL Russian Roulette! First prize is $250,000 in I-Cash and five free matches. Second prize is $175,000 in I-Cash and a shot at the RYL North American Champion at a later date. Third prize is $125,000. How does the Roulette work? It's simple, really. Anyone who comes to the RYL between now and cycle 33 will be eligible for free entry! Free entry, you say? Yup. If anyone shows up in cycles 34 and 35 and wants to join the Roulette, they'll have to shell out $25,000 in I-Cash per wrestler. If that does happen, the extra I-Cash will be held in arrears for a future event. The actual Roulette will be the Battle Royal from RYL #36. So if you're entered in the Roulette, you MUST be active for RYL #36 and you MUST enter the Battle Royal with EVERY WRESTLER you want to participate! If you do not, you will automatically FORFEIT! If you are a paid entrant, you will NOT get your I-Cash back. The winner of the Battle Royal is the winner of the Roulette, the last person eliminated gets second, and the second-last person eliminated wins third prize. So if you want a GUARANTEED $250,000 in I-Cash, get to the RYL today and write TT telling me you want to be part of the Roulette!"

A WORD FROM THE GDL COMMISSIONER

"I, the Evil Messiah, have made it possible for Maniac Violence, Inc. to buy the rights to the GDL. I will still be the commissioner, but it will now be called the Mystic Diva League, and the first league champion will receive $50 dollars in real cash (upon doing the match deal or more -- the bulk rate does not count). This will begin in cycle #155 to give more people time to join the league. Thank you!"

$300,000 BATTLE ROYAL

"Money, money, money!!! Now that I have your attention, this is the Barbaric Warrior League Commissioner, 'Bad Tempered' County Boy, in the Bronze Federation. I would like to invite anyone who thinks they’re bad enough to come to the BWL and compete in my $300,000 Battle Royal that will take place in cycle #37. We are in cycle #31, so this gives everyone plenty of time to bring a crew or send in a lone warrior to try to claim the cash. The BWL is shaping up and has the potential to be a great league, so why not give it a try? Who knows, you might just win!"

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, so the current February issue contains the first major winners of 2008.)

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. :)
