If you ran a show bi-weekly, how many PPVs a year? I'm currently doing every two weeks myself for my legends fed but plan to utilize that when I go back to CoTG someday. I have TV tapings then two weeks then another TV taping and then a PPV so there are six weeks between PPV's giving me 8-9 PPV's a year. It's worked pretty well for me so far.

I did a restart and have been running it for over a year in the current folder. Heading into May of 2088. I've had time issues so it drops off here and there for a few months at a time but I always come back to it. I've reformatted so it takes me less time and that should help me push out more shows. It's just life though. Sometimes I can contribute shows in a huge burst for a few months and sometimes I'm too busy to play. My feds tend to reappear though. There's plenty of feds in there that have years worth of posts.
You have to understand that a lot of us have had to jump boards a couple of times with our feds and some people choose to just keep going with out reposting and other people decide to start a new fed thread when the current one gets too long. I've considered it for my fed because I feel like 10 pages and 150 posts tends to scare off potential readers.

This thread has been very useful as I'm new to the game and have been wondering what the best way to go about setting up my fed would be. Originally I was going to start with New Beginnings but now I think I'm going to start in 2087.
I like the idea of doing of doing a show every two weeks with the PPV equivalent once every two months. So there'd be a show on weeks 1, 3, 5 and 7 with the PPV on week 8 and then repeat the sequence six times. I've also though about making the week 1 show about the lower end wrestlers; kind of like how WWE/F used to do on Sunday Night Heat - give the no-namers and wrestlers not involved in a major storyline a chance to get some action. Wrestlers who do well there might get bumped up into the prime time if the really perform exceptionally or a major wrestler gets injured. It's also a good placve to dump persoanlly created characters (who I've made slightly weaker forcing them to earn their stripes the hard way if they want to succeed).
That means 3 cards of major storylines before every PPV or 18 over the course of a year. Considering how many years there are I think that's a decent enough pace and should keep burnout at bay.
I've also thought of making each PPV unique in some way other than just a catchy name. Like how the Royal Rumble really focuses on that match even though other matches are going on or the old style Survivor Series where the entire PPV was about not getting eliminated and moving on (something they haven't done in a very long time).
