Championship Titles

• DOAC Championship
  
• United States Championship
  
• Intercontinental Championship
  
• Tag Team Championship
  
  A tag team MUST consists of 2 players.
  
  
• King of the Ring Championship
  
  Special rules title. ALL matches take place on the DWA Coliseum stage (the ring).
  
  
• Fight Club Championship
  
  Special rules title. ALL matches take place on the Crash Club stage.
  
  
• Hardcore Championship
  
  Special rules title. NO STAGES BANNED. Players can change characters after wins as well as losses.
  
  
• FTW Championship
  
  Special rules title. Players restricted to use characters of Mid/Low tier placement. Accepted characters are . . .
  
  
  
• Womens Championship
  
  Special rules title. Only female players eligible to compete for title.
  
  
• Survivor Series Championship
  
  Team based title. Elimination style match format.
  
  Each "team" must contain between 3-5 members. No restrictions to members of a team, as long as each member is NOT already a member of another team. If a team is scheduled against a team with fewer members, the team with the higher number will choose an equal number to the opposing team to represent them in the match.
  
  The elimination style match format works as follows. Both teams decide who starts the match for their team. The loser of the starting match is then eliminated from the team match, and is replaced by another member of the team. The winner of the starting match can either stay on for the next match or "tag out" to another team member, still remaining available for later matches. The team match continues in this format until an entire team is eliminated.
  

Special Awards

Money in the Bank

• 1 guaranteed title match for ANY title of your choosing
  
• Title match can be pre-planned in advance, or go down on sudden notice, at your choosing
  
• You can select 1 of 3 choices of advantage for the title match:
  
  1) Match Handicap: This will give you 1 free point in a FT3 match, 2 free points in a FT5 match, or 4 free points in a FT10 match.
  2) Choose Match Rules: This will allow you to setup the match rules completely as you choose.
  (character select rules left at standard)
  3) Ban a Character: This will allow you to BAN the champion from using a character of your choosing for the entire match.
  

Of course, in order to cash-in for the match, the champion you want to face must be online at the time to be challenged, and I must be online to stream the match (so let me know if you are thinking about cashing in, and I'll let you know if I can be on to stream it).

If the match is pre-planned, and the champion does not show for the match, you will be recognized as *Interim* champion and a mandatory rematch will be scheduled later under the same rules. If the champion fails to show for the rematch, you will be recognized as the official champion.




Other Info

Team Rules

Team Draft

• Initial Team Captains will be determined by player rank/activity in DOACC
  
• Initial Teams will be determined by the Team Captains drafting players from a draft pool
  
• The draft pool will be comprised of a list of players who have declared interest in joining a team
  
• A player who is not in the draft pool is not eligible to be drafted
  
• The draft order will be determined by the rank of the Team Captains at the time of the draft, and will proceed in a serpentine format (1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 3, 2, 1, repeat)
  
• The number of players each team is allowed to draft will be determined by the number of players who have entered the pool
  
• After the draft has begun, the draft pool is closed, and players declaring interest in joining a team will be entered into a free agent pool which will be accessible to Team Captains a week after the draft has completed
  

Team Competition

• After initial teams are determined, each player on the team will then earn points going toward their team total each week players compete in DOACC matches
  
• The same points players earn individually will also be applied to their team total
  
• Only the points earned from wins will be applied to the team total, losses will not take away from a team total
  
• When a Survivor Series event comes around, the two teams with the highest point totals at the time of the event will compete for the Survivor Series title
  
• After the Survivor Series title has been contested, team point totals will be reset to 0
  
• The Survivor Series title will likely be contested 2 times each year
  

Team Free Agency

• Players who were not drafted to a team but have declared interest in joining will be entered into a free agent pool
  
• The free agent pool will be accessible to Team Captains starting a week after the draft has completed
  
• With access to the free agent pool, a Team Captain can switch any team member with any free agent, but is limited to 1 switch per month
  
• In the event of an open spot on a team (due to trade or player drop), a Team Captain can pick up a free agent at no cost of a switch
  

Team Trades

• After initial teams are determined, Team Captains are free to negotiate trades with one another at their own will
  
• Trades can be 1for1 deals, 2for1 deals, etc., and can include a team's free agent switch for a particular month
  
• For a trade to be made official, both Team Captains involved in the deal must confirm the deal was agreed upon (by thread post or PM)
