WWE OSF Pick 'Em 2019 Season - Stage 1 (aka: The Now-Slightly-Longer Season)

[Blackjak 57]

Doin' it here, bitches! 

 

Doesn't matter if you barely watch anymore. You can still pick (and probably win ) 

 

Just gonna borrow from The Center's format for this.

Expected Season Schedule: Currently Unscheduled Events Will Be Added To The Schedule at a later date

05/19: Money in the Bank

06/01: NXT TakeOver: XXV

06/23: Stomping Grounds

07/14: Extreme Rules

08/10-08/11: NXT TakeOver: Toronto/SummerSlam

09/15: Hell in a Cell

10/06: Clash of Champions

11/23-11/24: NXT TakeOver: WarGames/Survivor Series [End of Season]

 

 

Rules:

+ 3 Points for picking the correct winner of a match

 

+ 1 Point for answering each bonus question correctly unless otherwise stated. We try to keep it to around 5 bonus questions per PPV but bigger PPVs may have more.

 

+ 1 Point awarded for winning the PPV. Also a "PPV Win" is awarded, these are used as tie-breakers in the standings.

 

+ For WWE branded shows and WWE branded "Super-Shows" (Saudi Arabia, Australia etc), we pick Title Matches and certain matches involving big names, only. For NXT branded shows, we pick for all matches. 

 

+ Bonus points involving Submissions include ref stoppage (passing out etc)

 

+ Unless otherwise specified, "Interference" means someone not in the match successfully distracting or attacking a wrestler during their match (Jumping up on the apron and getting their attention, music playing etc)

 

+ Cesaro Swing Rule: In the case of bonus questions involving Over/Under on strikes, revolutions (Big Swing, Airplane Spin) or moves of that nature, we use the real number of moves and not the crowd chants

 

+ Uso Rule: Don't use wrestlers who are hard to tell apart in bonus questions.

 

+ Weapons Rule: "Successfully using a weapon" requires contact to the body. Using a weapon defensively to knock another weapon out of someone's hand doesn't count (even if they sell their fingers)

 

+ Cash-In Rule: If you want to join the fun but the season is already under-way, you can "cash-in" and be added to the game with three less points than the current last place.

 

+ Forfeit Rule: If you happen to miss a PPV for whatever reason, you'll automatically earn 3 less points than last place and have it added to your score, just so people can keep up some kind of pace and it can be made a bit fair for those cash-ing in.

This seems excessively short.

 

Thoughts on extending it to Survivor Series so the two seasons are at least a little closer in length?

The Takeover card isn't changing before Saturday.... so we can probably come up with Bonus questions if anyone has any ideas for something unique.

[Blackjak 57]

Working on the Template/Spread now, if anyone has any suggestions

 

 @Garlic Junior  @Psycho666Soldier @MT @Eizan @Nick  @KR  @Blackjak  @Death Rider Mox

[Vic Boss 612]

Something about ladders, maybe something about interference in the ladder match (the third forgotten son, Unsdisputeds)

Which entrance has more extra human beings involved, Dream or Breeze

Does Roderick Strong and/or Adam Cole interfere in each other's matches?

Do the Horsewomen successfully interfere in the Shayna match

Any non-regular unnannounced main-roster people in the crowd/on the show?

[Blackjak 57]

Didn't see this post before I had already put the spreadsheet together... I'll replace some of mine ("What will be the finish of Matt Riddle/Roddy Strong?"  and "Who/What will Dream's Attire be modeled after?")  with some of yours ("Does Roderick Strong and/or Adam Cole interfere in each other's matches?" and "Which entrance has more extra human beings involved, Dream or Breeze?"). Thanks @Death Rider Mox.

Just for the record, for the "last non-winner on a ladder" question, if there's multiple answers for it due to more than one ladder being up and there's people on it or whatever, they all get a point. 

[Blackjak 57]

At least two (so far) of the guys in mine and Nick's WWE Supercard group expressed interest in dealing in. So that's the extra non-Cultaholic folk you see. Always good to get some new blood in.

Yep. I've been adding the Cultaholic predictions to The Spreadsheet for a while now. This time it's Jack and Pacitti. If Maffew ever made predictions, he would be.

Damn I meant to change my women's pick last night but wasn't sure if the show had started. Had a sudden realization that Shayna was also doing the UK tour with Cole but not Io ?
