Overview
I’ve been missing tournaments in SCW and now that Olek hasn’t had time to run Shot of Adrenaline or Best of the Best. I thought that I’m going to see how it goes running tournaments under the SCW umbrella. If this succeeds, then I might do another. Right now, this tournament is for bragging rights and I’m bringing back the God of Wrestling tournament I ran for Majestic (both independently and as SCW’s developmental fed). The goal is a tournament of 16, running three consecutive two-week sessions, with the conclusion coming to an end at Under Attack. Hopefully, this will either garner up outside interest for SCW or give people a low commitment way to develop a new character idea.
Sign-Ups are going to be open until 9/13/2019, 11:59 PM EST.
Brackets will be posted on 9/14.
Eligibility Rules
- Character does not have to be an active member of SCW roster. We welcome ‘one shot’ experiments and guests from outside feds.
- First Come First Serve
- Multiple characters are allowed to be entered by a single handler; however, if there is a waiting list, your second (or third, fourth, etc.) characters will be opted out to give another handler a chance so please note your preference when signing up if you are indeed placing multiple characters in the tournament. Handlers will not be booked against themselves in the first round.
Dates
- 09/28/2019 – Indianapolis, IN, USA (Indiana Farmers Coliseum) - God of Wrestling 2019, Night One: Sweet Sixteen
- 10/12/2019 – Tulsa, OK, USA (BOK Center) – God of Wrestling 2019, Night Two: Elite Eight & Final Four
- 10/27/2019 – St. Louis, MO, USA (Enterprise Center) – Under Attack: Finals
Roleplaying
I’m going to run things a lot like Emerge has done, but with an upped word cap. This is for my sanity.
- 2 RP Limit
- 1st RP Deadline will be the Friday before the event at 6:00 AM EST. The first rp will be posted on the boards for public viewing. The word cap for this RP#1 will be 5,000 words and it can be mixture of CD and Shoot.
- 2nd RP Deadline will be the day of the event at 6:00 AM EST. The second rp will be submitted to me through PMs at Adamsama and will be posted along with the show. This should be treated like a shoot/backstage segment for the show that will be made public as part of the results and placed immediately prior to the match. The word cap for RP#2 will be 1,000 words. For the second show, being that there are two rounds, these promos will be placed prior to the first matches of the night.
Judging
For this tournament, I will assume responsibilities for judging. I like to believe that my judging philosophy isn’t far off from SCW’s current scheme. I will judge both rps as a whole, meaning if you forgo one or the other, it will not hurt against you.
Please note SCW rules for a rough idea of the judging criteria, I struck out things that I won’t hold against newcomers:
Shows
- In terms of kayfabe, the first two events of the tournament will be broadcast for free on Twitch, presented by Supreme Championship Wrestling and Mountain Dew.
- For the second event (God of Wrestling Night 2), there will be a thirty-minute intermission between the quarter-final and semi-final matches to give wrestlers a chance to break.
Previous Winners:
2007 - Shorty Jr. (SCW)
2009 - Christy Matthews (Majestic)
2012 - Shilo Valiant (SCW)

Please note SCW rules for a rough idea of the judging criteria, I struck out things that I won’t hold against newcomers:
Quote:Roleplays are judged by a mix of creativity (is it unique to the character? Is it a new way of doing a certain concept? Is it fresh in the landscape of roleplays in SCW?), match relevance (promo content, references to the match, how certain angles affect how the character’s life develops), character development (what is learned about the character? What is being focused on? Is the character unique?) and effectiveness (Are promos delivered well? Is the content communicated in a way to good effect? Is it a bad idea done well? Is it a good idea done poorly?). We also stress that we tend to promote a realistic product and therefore that may limit the effectiveness of certain content.
