setting up a card

[ranul]

how do you decide on the matches that take place on the cards
here is how i do it
the first 6 matches which could be tag or single matches are based on ranking and a pro rated lottery
top ranked 33%
second ranked 26 %
third ranked 20 %
fourth ranked 13%
fifth ranked 7 %
after those matches a set up
i then list the wrestlers that a remaining and go though the gwf handbook to see who they are feuding
if there are any tag teams that are left over i match them up against each other .
then i take the remaining wrestlers and randomly pair them off .
try to have good vs bad matches

It depends for me. I don't really have a set way. Sometimes I have a big time match open the card and close the card (for example, when Switchblade won the title from Encubus,the next night he called out Encubus for the mandatory rematch as the opening match).

With aCe it's generally the lower ranked guys and then the bigger names later in the card. I tend to open with the Nemean show (or the New Schoolyard now) then go into the matches. Sometimes the "show" leads into the opening match up.

Edit: BTW, posts like this really belong more in the Misc COTG section rather than the COTGonline section since it's not specific to online.
