We're not going to argue, Zeke. It's all good whatever fed you're running.

First wrestler to chalk up three clean wins is the champion. Then everyone is reset to zero and we start again. If the champion is a face then the first heel to chalk up three wins gets a title shot and vice versa. Also if a wrestler just happens to be drawn against the champion and wins cleanly, he gets a title shot. Cuts out mass record-keeping.

Based on several recent remarks, I think this is a pertinent question... How do you view your fed(s)? Shoot or Work?I treat all of my feds as a 100% work... So, the fun (for me) is mainly derived from trying to interpret why the bookers (aka the dice) made the choices that they did during each card. I've always enjoyed thinking of my fed as a newsletter/reporter style presentation, its sorta a shoot style work. This is definitely pro wrestling, and everyone (probably) knows its a work but its presented as a shoot... if that makes sense.
In reality it is a shoot in that the dice call all the shots, and then I just have to present it like that was the "planned" finish all along.

I realize it's a "shoot" in that we cannot control the outcome... But, I just imagine my dice are the bookers and I have to build the upcoming card(s) based on the results they give me... Thank you so much for sharing these thoughts.

So I tend to treat most of my feds as more shoots, though I've done a couple where the write up style is from a work POV (i.e. as if they are reviews of shows from a smart fan perspective). My current fed is a narrative experiment, written as though its a documentary from a fully worked perspective.
I think the magic number for belts, for me at least, is four. Top singles, mid-card singles, tag, and a 4th title that defines a division within the territory, i.e. six-man or hardcore or light-heavyweight or women's.

Here's another hot topic that I think gets a lot of play on the boards... BOOTLEGS!
Do you use them? How do you use them? How many are too many? And what about online players... Any reservations?
Since I play exclusively online, I don't use them at all. As for feds that I follow on the boards -- I'm not opposed to them as special attractions, but when they're used regularly - as part of the everyday roster, I find that I can't remain engaged because I don't have as much interest in the wrestlers that are being used... Having official cards offers an organic boundary for who is eligible to appear on my roster.
Let those opinions fly, my friends... Want to hear them all!

I don't use them. Partly because I don't want to go through the hassle of printing them out and partly because I already have more wrestlers than I can use. I don't begrudge anyone using them, though.

I just picked up a bunch of the UBU bootlegs and I'll probably pick up some more in the upcoming months. I plan on bringing them into my fed when I start Game Year #2. At that point I'll likely have to split my roster up into a territory system as between the bootlegs and official Legends cards I'll have well over 200 wrestlers. I enjoy having a large roster though so in my opinion there's no such thing as too many wrestlers.

I don't currently use them. I have in the past, but with the current size and depth of the official roster I don't feel the need. The point of playing the game is, of course, to have fun. So if you enjoy them and have some that you want to use: more power to you.

Not in digital for obvious reasons (the game is fussy if you use any open ones you have because you have to type them just right and there are no mechanics) The only ones I used physically after a certain point were Grant's but I don't do much physically at the moment (but could always change if I get a gaming table)
