On the nature of time (limits)...also points.

The AWL Commissioner is always looking to improve the AWL and the off season grants the boss the opportunity to tweak and improve the rules without pulling the rug out from under our fighters mid season. As such, there are 2 MAJOR rule changes that will go into effect at National Pro Wrestling Day 2016:

1. Longer time limits in tag team and multi-man matches.
In an effort to reduce the number of time limit draws and to raise the prestige of the AWL World Tag Team Titles up to match that of the Grand Championship the following changes are hereby enacted:
1 Point tag team match: 15 minute time limit.
2 Point tag team match: 20 minute time limit.
3 Point tag team match: 30 minute time limit.
Tag team title match: 30 minute time limit.
All singles matches featuring more than 2 wrestlers (triple threat, 4-way, etc.): 15 minute time limit.

2. Elimination rules in multi-man matches. Points by fall.
All multi-man matches (see previous examples) will be contested under elimination rules and each fall shall count as a victory in the AWL win-loss rankings. For example, if an AWL Wrestler pins both of his opponents in a 3-way match, he shall be considered to have won 2 matches. If an AWL Wrestler pins 2 opponents and is then pinned himself in a 4-way match, he shall be considered to have won 2 matches and lost 1.


Season 9 is mere days away and the Animated Wrestling League is just getting better.
