Okay, so I was randomly thinking about the strap match rules, since last time I was pretty much in charge of that. The rules had a good start, but had some iffy stuff and I wanted to hammer it out to be a real legitimate match type for the future and not some weird gimmick we'll never use again. So uh, here's where I think the rules should be now.
1. Because the two competitors are attached via a strap, the lead can never exceed two votes.
2. If someone touches all four corners in succession, they win and the match is over. Four corners will be touched by getting four straight votes while holding the maximum lead already.
3. If nobody does the four corners above, whoever has the lead at the end wins.
So say XIII and Nick are in a purely theoretical strap match, and votes go like this:
XIII (XIII up 1-0)
XIII (XIII up 2-0)
XIII (XIII already has 2 vote lead, still 2-0, but he has now touched one corner)
Nick (XIII up 2-1 now, and XIII has to start the corners over later)
XIII (XIII up 3-1 and hits the 2 vote lead again)
XIII (XIII up 3-1, one corner touched)
XIII (XIII up 3-1, two corners touched)
XIII (XIII up 3-1, three corners touched)
Nick (XIII up 3-2, he has to start the corners over later)
Nick (3-3)
Nick (Nick up 4-3) (If the match ended here, Nick would win despite less overall votes, but he has the lead)
Nick (Nick up 5-3 and hits 2 vote lead)
Next four votes are Nick, he touches all four corners and wins the match.
Hopefully that's clear enough and if someone else ever wants to run one of those matches they can do it without me as needed.
I like it and challenge you to a MELEE MAYHEM EXHIBITION MATCH to show off the NEW rules and the two GREATEST CHAMPIONS this place currently has.
