What is the World Championship? - Since the mid-2000's, the World Championship has represented the best of the best, the cream of the crop, in the Fire Pro Wrestling Alliance, whether the belt itself has been branded under the Fire Pro Club Person Pack, Fire Pro Wrestling Arena, or CRITICAL! Club banner(s).
What are the stipulations? - Match stipulations are flexible, but non-standard matches only take place on special occasions. (Cage matches will be allowed, but only on special occasions)
Who qualifies?
1) EVERYBODY who's included on the Official Roster Collection! (If you haven't signed up to officially join the ORC, do so on this thread.) Both Juniors and Heavyweights ARE allowed (which means it's possible for the Cruiserweight Champion to ALSO be the World Champion).
2) Your edit adheres to the criteria of the Official Roster (200 pts and under, no Cement, and no Cement Logic -- we're looking for good matches over edits specifically designed to win them).
3) Edits from the Free Agent thread will NOT be eligible or used for this division UNLESS their handlers sign them up in the above ORC thread, as the Free Agents will already be populating other divisions (such as the ANARCHY and Battlefront divisions) to fill them out.
4) Of course, make sure to link to your edit's Workshop page when you sign them up. :)
NOTE: It's NOT necessary to actually RUN any fed for you to sign up edits, since edit sign-ups can simply be "I'll sign up edit X", or "I'll sign up edits X, Y, and Z", or even "I'll sign up the whole roster of my fed".
On that particular note, if you DO sign up your whole fed's roster for the division, booking your edits might have to get creative to avoid constant overlap of your own edits facing each other frequently for the World Title/Title contendership.
5) Up to 2 edits can be signed up to start with, with up to 2 more if we don't have enough people signing up their edits.
How will this work?
At MILESTONE: Alliance Rising 2019 in SPIKE-CHUNSOFT Dome, NorthStarLion took on long-reigning World Champion, Allen Riggs.
Following MILESTONE, the ENTIRE division has been reset (except for the champion), and will be repopulated using all the sign-ups from this thread.
Events and various individual matches will be held to determine Rankings and Contendership, of course.
The end-goal is to have a minimum of 4 Officially Branded™ Events per year (the annual MILESTONE: Alliance Rising supershow included) where the World Championship is defended, regardless of who holds those shows.
MILESTONE represents the end of each "Season" for the World Championship Division, and a short Sign-Up/Opt-Out period takes place afterward, before the next "Season" starts.
While there will be an "official" period following MILESTONE to sign up or opt out, you can still actually sign up your edit or opt them out anytime during the season, it's just easier to have a dedicated period of time to do so.
What's with the belt images at the top of the post?
The full-size belt on top is for you to use in promotional graphics and video bits, while the image below it is the custom Fight! graphic that will go in your fight graphics folder to use via Carlzilla's Mod Pack (or Mod Suite if you're still running World version 1.02).
(If the Save As dialog for the Fight! graphic reads "%20" instead of a space, replace it with a space for proper syntax)
If you sign your edit up to the World Championship Division, they will stay active specifically in the World Championship Division (until whatever time you decide to remove them from the division).
HOWEVER, unlike the Perpetuity Permission described in the Grand-Prix thread, EVERY match in the World Championship Division that gets booked with your edit will require your prior permission to use in the match, in order to avoid usage conflicts or other messiness.
Anyone who wishes to book World Championship matches themselves (or exhibition matches if they so wish) may do so by reserving a match in this thread (in chronological order of when you reserved a match, with your reserved match taking place after any matches reserved in previous posts), using anybody from the World roster, but must receive permission from the handlers of the participants before confirming any matches.
(This style feels like a good way to get more people involved. :) )
If you're booking matches and you have more than 1 edit signed up here, please try to avoid booking your own edits against each other unless absolutely necessary. This isn't a set-in-stone rule, but rather a strong suggestion in order to avoid any favoritism.
While there are currently no "regularly occurring" annual events (like Star of the Jar, for example) where the winner will receive an offer for a World Championship match, we could always start one (like a league, or a tournament, or battle royale matches, etc) or more.
The World Champion is automatically a part of the division until they lose the Championship, at which point, their handler will then have the ability to opt their edit out of the division if they so wish.
If you have any additional questions as to rules or whatnot from this division, you're welcome to ask, and any answers will be added to this post.
