TNM Illustrated Superfed Rules

Getting Started
To start your superfed, you must find other people interested in doing what you're doing. To do this, I suggest posting on TNM7 message boards. This way, people will understand what you're doing. Once you find your people you must designate who will be what wrestling federation. After that, you must make up a batch of your own rules.

Here is my example:

Monthly: PPVS (1 per month)
Special Events: award ceremony, special day, etc. (least 3 per year)
Weekly Events: 2 TV shows at least & House Shows every 5 days
Special Tours: trip to different country (at least 1 per year)

Weekly
You must send in your list of champions and a review of what happened in the week (events, new & Rumors). You must also notify us of PPVs and tours.

Each person must send to eachother:

list of PPV names (all 12)
list of special events
list of weekly events
list of special tours

Wrestler Rules
Trading talent is allowed (you must specify the number of cards that he/she will be used in)

You must notify other people of wrestler free agency and/or signings (you
don't need to tell for how much cards)

Miscellaneous Rules
Try not to make fun of other federations

Finally
If you want to change or add rules, email me. Also, if you need anything, email me. I have wrestler pictures, wrestling logos (PPV, wrestler, fed, or show), and I have most of the TNM 7 plugins. If you don't have TNM 7, I suggest you get it and also if you don't have Interview Integrator it is a nice plugin to have. Get those and they will help you with your wrestling simulating.

Getting Started cont?
After you lay down the rules, it is time for the draft. In the draft you take your collected wrestler and draft them off to eachother. In the TNM 7 world, you make all the federations and put talent limitations on them. This way you can only have people available. When a person quits your fed, you must notify the others soon of his free agency (same with firing.) You are now ready to start your superfed.

After you've started
After you've started it's a good idea to have interpromotional feuds. Meaning, feud with the other federations. During this time, you might want to trade talent. While you're trading talent. The talent limitations go off. After you're done trading talent. Fire the remaining traded talent and put talent limitations back on. You should only have interpromotional feuding every 5-6 TNM months. This way audiences won't become bored with it. To help your TNM 7 Superfed be more realistic, try using my contract manager system. Email me for it at jsl@seanet.com.

As Time Flys by?
After your superleague has been going for a while (2-3 months; real life) you might want to stage another draft with newcoming talent while getting rid of some of the older figures in your federation.

Showing off your circuit

You should get an internet page if you don't already. This way, you can post your circuit on the World Wide Web.
Thank you for reading my Superfed rules and I'm sure they'll help you accomplish your dreams of running a realistic wrestling world with your friends on the internet.
