Restart match

ZedjaPosted on 07/17/05 at 22:31:22

I know you can restart a match if it doesn't go the way you want it to by pressing R, but somehow that doesn't work in tournaments. Is there a way to implement it??

But maybe that doesn't work when the match has ended..

Sure it works in tournaments - although it will only restart the match and not the tournament :)

Please do remember to press "r" when the match has just ended, not when you see the results (in which case it's too late).

Ah, thats why. I don't watch the matches (too much clicking) so all I get is the result. Thanks for the explaination.

What was the command to not having to press a button at each page when you watch the match?

Oh BTW is there a way to expand the Royal Robin to 32 wrestlers?? So that it's the same number as in a tournament?? I wanted to start off with a Round Robin to determine a champion, but the maximum was 2 wrestler short.

type "f" to jump right to the finish of a match.

A 32-man round robin!?!

I believe that'd involve 496 singles matches, or 31 cards with 16 per card, or 62 with 8 per card!

Are you sure that you really want to use a round robin with that many participants? Your looking at 7 months to a year and change before you get a champion, assuming one card a week.

EDIT: If you want to put a round robin in there but not have it take forever, I'd suggest 8 round robins containing 4 wrestlers, with the two top scorers in each advancing into a 16 man tournament.  It'd still take a while, but it wouldn't be QUITE as insane.

If I press F, will the text be gone or will it still show it? Because if it's gone I have no real reason to watch it from the beginning.

I know about how many matches it would be, but I felt like it would be the only way to really determine the true champion. I've tried tournaments and there's always something that screws it up, like one of the wrestlers in the final gets disqualified and there's no champion. I could remove the disqualification option, but then it would be legal to fight dirty and I don't want that.

I also thought about the 4x8 (and even the 8x4) round robins, but that wouldn't really show the true champion, since the wrestler who won haven't wrestled all the other wrestlers. Also, if I do it that way, who fights who in what group is going to be a huge factor.

Maybe I'm thinking too much into this.

If you determine a person who, without a shadow of a doubt, truly deserves to be champion... then what?  He's already proven that he's better than everyone else.  There's no real "dream match" left that you can exploit later because you've already shown that your champion is the best in the company.  Yes, a tournament doesn't truly show who is the best because everyone doesn't face everyone else.  But that's a great catalyst for starting feuds in your promotion.

Another problem with a massive round robin is that there's a good chance that a few people involved will quit before it's and they've finished all their matches.  I'm not quite sure how TNM handles that, but... dunno.

Anyway, it's a moot point because as you say, there isn't a way to have Round Robins that massive.

You make a valid point. I guess I'll stick to a tournament and see what I can do about them not being disqualified.

If I was running an unbooked tournament for a championship (I presume vacant), and the championship does not get awarded due to a countout or disqualification, I'd personally exploit it in later cards.  Setup some sort of storyline that leads to either a whole new tournament or just a rematch of the final match.  If they do it again, there's even more chances for storylining around it..

Of course, there will come a point, if they continue to come to DQ's or countouts, when you'd have to step in and ensure a decisive victory (by saying no countout/dq or have the title change hands on a countout or dq, or restart the match if it dq's or countouts by pressing R when the match is over)

That's what I'd do..... Though, I may run my feds differently than you... :P
