[dalenichol]

<p>In MMA, a split decision is where 2 judges choose fighter A, whilst the third chooses fighter B. </p><p> </p><p>

Often confused with a Majority decision, where 2 judges score fighter A, whilst the third declares a draw.</p><p> </p><p>

You couldn't do it with 4 judges, I don't imagine.</p>

I have a language barrier problem, and am in the booking part of the day, unfortunately.. However, I have an alliance title, and the champion would solve the problem, but I am skint.. So my question is, if I borrow the title, and don't use the champion, do I still have to pay her..

[kipplecWo]

Is there a way to see when a worker for another company's written contract expire? Does the shortlist notify you when you're able to negotiate?

[dalenichol]

As far as I'm aware, if you shortlist the worker, it'll let you know

[mrwhippy]

If you shortlist them, it will let you know when they enter the final 30 days. Outside of that, only the editor will tell you.

[BiffJordan]

Anyone know how to improve a workers toughness?

[wwfmark]

In my regional fed I run two monthly shows that air on TV and I'm making more money than I ever have. If I switch my model to a weekly TV show with an event how will that affect my profit? I know there's not a blanket answer but would my costs increase a lot for TV so stay relatively the same per show?

[Gungner]

Simple question: Does a worker gain overness faster / gain more overness when appearing on A-shows rather than B-shows?

Basically the more people who see a show the more overness that a worker can gain from appearing on it.</p><p> </p><p> A victory in a 10 minute match on a show seen by 1,000,000 will garner more overness than the same match on a show seen by 2,000.</p>

If i have a worker signed to a PPA contract, and his only involvement in the show is an <em>offscreen</em> appearance in an angle, do i still have to pay him?

It's the same when you have worker out, you can still reference them in angles as off screen to push storylines.</p>

<p>What constitutes a "subscription" when creating broadcasters? I'm thinking of something like HBO would be subscription based but obviously in a different way then the WWE Network.</p><p> </p><p>

How would you edit a subscription channel that doesn't focus on wrestling?</p>

Booking EMLL and things are going great.

 

We're at regional, with a weekly TV show being broadcast around Mexico. We're currently at D, E- and E+ popularity, with the D being our home region.

 

However, we're consistently putting on C-/C event and TV show ratings, which are all being broadcast, but our popularity has stopped rising in all 3 regions (I now only get the message about pop going up in 1 region)

 

Am I right in assuming that at D level, I'd only need a C- to grow in my top area? And should be growing in the other 2 as well. Could this have anything to do with the economy and wrestling industry being in the toilet?

It's entirely possible that you just can't grow any larger. I could be way wrong though.</p>

Does Menace ever raise on its own without going up in size? Several shows in and my UC's menace hasn't budged from 75.0 even though he's been doing a menace angle every show.

<p>Any way to avoid everyone who was left off of an event from getting upset? </p><p> </p><p>

I'm playing as TCW and coming out of Malice in Wonderland I had every person on my roster that wasn't booked get upset and hurt my backstage rating. Enhancement Talent like Jeremie Courtney were irritated. I'm getting close to War To Settle The Score and just want to know if there is anything I can do here.</p><p> </p><p>

Edit: I know you can completely turn off "Left Off Show" complaints with user preferences. But I don't want to completely remove this feature, I'm just curious I guess if even guys down to Enhancement Talent are going to be upset when not performing at events. It doesn't seem to be an issue if they aren't on every TV show which is why it caught me off guard.</p>

[codey_v2]

<p>So I've noticed in my RTG game that GSW is signing a lot guys to exclusive PPA contracts. This either never before, or I've never really had guys they've been interested in, but I'm wondering if a company can develop this type of signing habit? </p><p> </p><p>

Other than gaining Cherry Bomb as booker, nothing's changed for them, and I have no existing relationship with them. I am, however, part of the COTT alliance which they are not.</p>

Also if you have any non-wrestlers complaining have them in some angles on the pre show. It doesn't affect your show rating or the crowd to my understanding.</p>
