JOHNNY B SAYS
Wrestlers must initiate one-on-one matches to be considered active. Entering the battle royal and competing in team matches does not count as being active. Inactive wrestlers cannot win major championships, and they are not entitled to have their strategies updated.
We've been manually tracking which wrestlers were to receive strategy changes, but that task has been automated. Since we can't accidentally enter strategies for inactive wrestlers anymore, the new system should make it more obvious when we fail to process wrestlers' matches: not only will they be listed in the inactive section of the rankings, but they may also perform worse than expected, due to reusing their previous strategy.
If you ever notice that you didn't receive all the matches and battle royal entries you submitted, or if your strategy seems to have been mistyped, based on the outcomes of your wrestler's matches, please let us know quickly so we can correct it. We want the league results to be as accurate as possible.
Our Spring cycle is right around the corner, and what better time to sweep some of those pesky losses off your wrestlers' records? Just be prepared to pay some industrial-strength fees for the industrial-strength cleaning products needed for the job...
Next cycle only, include a note with your matches and strategy changes that reads, "Drop 20 losses from my wrestler, ID #123" (choose from 1 to 20 losses, and use your wrestler's ID number instead of 123). Separate the request from your trash talk by skipping some space. The removal of each loss will cost that particular wrestler $25,000. You may deduct losses from as many of your wrestlers as you wish, but each must have the necessary funds, so if you want to remove the maximum of 20 losses, your wrestler must have at least half a million imaginary dollars.
Also next cycle, the sign-up forms for this year's Stablecade contest will be available. Watch for them!
