Note I'm reading this, Rick, but on two conditions.

1) You actually make this one last and not drop it when you think you have a better idea, because this is your best one yet, and,

2) If I see a ruleset get posted based around this circuit, I will kill you.

:)

1)  You are actually reading one of my circuits and enjoying it?!?  going as far as calling it my best ever?!?  *falls out of chair*

2) *picks self up*

2a)  Even if I did try to do a rules set for this, people would be SO confused after the first week, they'd give up and run something else like the EricCotD's ROH rules.  ;)  This is one of those great to watch, tough to explain behind the scenes circuits, which we are sorely lacking in the real world nowadays.
