Booking Iron Man Matches

Here's a problem I've noted. If you schedule an Iron Man Match and book the winner (without details, only specifying who will be victorious), then the wrestler booked to win will ONLY score decisions in the bout. The other guy/gal won't score a single one. Also, and this is the biggest problem, the referee seems to ALWAYS let the match continue when the time limit expires (for no apparent reason, because the wrestler going over is already up by x falls to 0) and the bout cannot end. Am I the only one who has noticed this?

Also, is it just me or does a referee's ten count eat up a ridiculous amount of match time in TNM 7? It should only really last around 30 seconds, but I've seen it last over 5 minutes at times! Bear in mind that I'm only talking about a double count-out here, when both wrestlers are outside the ring.

The same thing happens in 3 and 4-way elimination matches

I have never booked an iron match...yet. But for 3/4 way elimination matches, you have to book every fall AND the time.
EXAMPLE: Bret Hart v. Hulk Hogan v. Sting v. Ric Flair

You will have to book 3 pinfalls.

Hogan pins Sting with finisher 05:00
Flair pins Hogan with bodyslam 09:45
Hart pins Flair with rollup 12:22

Then these results will happen just that way....it's my guess that you must do the same for an Iron Man Match, by booking every fall you want to occur and the time it occurs....let me know how it works out....hope this was useful

King - regarding the count: I can send you a patch for this if you want. I never bothered benchmarking that back in the day... and it just rolled through to today.

I just realized that I can't really send it before Build 4 comes out - sorry... because you'd then have a mixed Build 3 / Build 4 code base which would wreak havoc...

Thanks for your patience!
