At the basics, you run shows in some months of the year and not eithers, i.e. Major League Sports. From a booking stand point, most tours focus on certain storylines. Like the three month tour is all about the Same Champ vs. the Same #1 contender. Because many workers are signed to touring contracts instead of written its prob best not to focus on long term plans with that worker if you might not get them back so keep the main title on a written guy (unless of course you have no written guys) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franchise22 Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 Why not sign everyone to written? Advantages of touring contract? Who is the type of worker that you sign to tour vs written? Seems like multiple shows per week for 3 months or so, any issues with repetitive booking? Just a few things that have come up when looking at a touring fed.

Which can become an issue when you aren't running shows to pay those people. Tour is for the length of the tour then they're gone. This is useful for Midcarders/fillers that you don't particular care about losing or aren't important enough for another promotion to give a written deal to. If you look at the default data you will see the companies that run tours generally pay their top main eventers monthly but the rest of the roster is on tour contracts. You don't have to run multiple shows per week, the amount you run when you are on tour is up to you. You could set your schedule to be 11 months out of the year and only do one show a month. Repetitive booking I believe kicks in at 5 matches within 3 months? Could be off as I haven't had the issue in awhile. (used to be 3 I think when it first came out) However if the match grade is better/equal to the previous matches average grade you will not be penalized (yay!) However if it is worse than the average you will be penalized (boo). Easy ways around it are to use three ways, and tag matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eidenhoek Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 It's actually 10 months max. 5 months in a row, then you need at least one month off. So 5 on, 1 off, 5 on, 1 off (or another combination) is the max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Casey Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Repetitive booking is 4+ times in six months. However, through judicious use of post-show dark matches to lower the average for the series I've just run a tag match for the seventh time in six months in my current game and had it come out fine. Or, y'know, manage your roster so that they get more talented/popular/both over time, and their match grades should always go up... :shifty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When running a touring promotion, I use touring contracts as extended tryouts. You come, do a tour with us, and if we like how you perform, we offer a PPA (rarely a written). My lower card is generally filled with young lionesses (signed for the auto-loyalty) I'm looking to develop over time. Main eventers and ring generals are on writtens, always.
