I guess I could go through the fed threads and read all through them to find the answers but there are those that don't post their results (like myself ) and besides that would take ALOT of reading! I DO read some feds like Swarms, Paybacks, Warfare's, and a few others but I was just curious on how exactly you run your feds. Any details ya wish to give - what cards you have (the name of) , how many, what are your supercards called do you have 1 a game "month" etc. I know most have your "RAW" like television/holovision/holonet shows what do you call those? I don't have a weekly "RAW" like program like most do, nor do I have a supercard monthly like some. Instead I went another way I run 8 monthly I call them planetary cards (yes even though a couple are on moons ) They are: Deimos Perennial, Clash on Cetus, Morpheus Memorial: Battlegrounds of Aldebaran, Maffei II Classics, War Dome Combat Zone, Return to Titan, Battlefield Earth, Andromeda Invasion. Then I run 6 Bi-monthly supercards: The Great Galactic Bash (my wrestlemania or galacticmania or whatsits), Solar Slam (midyear summerslam-like regular supercard), Ricken Rumble (a royal rumble that I named after past superstar Ricken Prince), Stablecade (a Survivor Series-like supercard), Lord of the RIng (my King of the Ring tourney), Carnival of Carnage (each match is a specialty match). I was just wondering how much everyone differs in the way there run there feds I am sure there are some major and minor differences and was curious of what they may be as well as what kind of imagination (if any ) you were able to come up with when naming your events... k thats it! ;D

For my Classics fed, I run one card a month, with a Supercard at the end of the year. For my Current fed, I run two tv shows, Meltdown and Beatdown, with a Supercard thrown in once in a while, but I'm never consistent with when I do that. I pretty much follow the flow that Swarm and Payback do with their feds, I find it easy to follow theirs, and easy to run mine. My big angles usually happen on Meltdown, but it's not beyond me to have them occur on Beatdown, both shows are "A" shows for me.

Right now I have done a weekly TV show (The GWF Warzone) for most of my action. I am playing New Beginning and I have said that since the Federation was rebuilding there would not be monthly PPV's. This has put all my big Title matches on TV for the most part. I did run the Glaxy Wars PPV in June being built like a Wrestlemania Card. Recenty I announced there would be more PPVs (although not quite monthly) and ran a September PPV from Earth's Moon called GWF Lunacy (I will be posting these cards later in the week). I plan on at least one more PPV this year in November that will be like Survivor Series. I probably won't have a December PPV, but December will build toward my first card of the New Year which will be the Deimos Perennial. I am planning that as the first show of the New Year but still with the previous year's roster. I'll then break for a few weeks when new contracts will be done for the year, and start the new Game Edition in late January.
I am not playing real time. I started New Beginning about 2 months ago and plan to be cought up by the end of the year. If I maintain the level of play I have done, I should do so. I do run my Legends League roughly real time.
I whish I had time to read everyone elses Fed. I do check in on Swarm's, Payback's, and Wildfire's when I can. There's just so much to read.

I don't do PPVs in my fed. I just have every show as its own thing. I'm not too enthusiastic when it comes to holding stuff back in order to put it on PPV. Also most of the wrestling I watch nowadays is indy stuff so PPVs don't really come to mind. After deciding to order the 2120 & 2121 sets I realised that their has to be some sort of timeline in my fed, so I treat it as one year equals 100 shows. So I have it that the GWF usually has 2 shows a week, sometimes only 1.

Currently, I am in 2091. I run 30 fight cards per fed year. Every 10th card is a SuperCard. I start the year with a SuperCard called the Deimos Perannual. The next SuperCard is Random Violence in which I randomly select 8 wrestlers (4 good, 4 bad) and they wrestle in a tournament. The next SuperCard is Colossal Collision. And the final card of the year is a SuperCard called Birthday Bash. On all the SuperCards, all the champions fight the Number One Contenders (determined by matches on the previous fight cards). I currently follow the official booklets when it comes to rosters, and add or subtract wrestlers at the beginning a fed year all at once.
For my S.A.W. Fed, it's pretty much the same, except I only run 20 fight cards a year. The SuperCards are named Rage In The Cage and Christmas Crusaders. I don't have a SuperCard at the start of the fed year, but I do add and subtract wrestlers at every SuperCard. That's about it! Check out my sites in my signature for more details!

My weekly is called Evolution and I plan on holding 6 supercards/ppv events per game year. This gives me time to build up the storylines in between supercards. As for the names of the cards:
2019 New Beginning - This was the first event of my fed where I crowned all the champs and based on the storyline, I just borrowed the game edition name.
Last Stand - Standard Supercard. This may become my Wrestlemania.
Ultimate Wrestler (8 man 1 night tournement. Each round is a different match type.)
Twist of Fate (Battlebowl/Lethal Lottery. Randomly selected tag-teams in a tournement. Winning team faces each other for the rights to a shot at the GWF title.)
Upcoming 2020 when I get the set:
Rebirth (First card of the year.)
Unleashed (Not sure what the "theme" around this one might be.)
Conquest (Survivor series matches in this one)
Last Stand
Ultimate Wrestler (see above)
Twist Of Fate (see above)
So that's how I plan to lay it out. I may move Ultimate Wrestler and Twist of Fate around in 2020 so I am not running back to back tournement supercards.
I also do not follow the standard storyline. I kind of just go with the flow and try and book it like I would a real fed. My latest twist was to have Phantasy turn bitter with the Troubleshooters selfishness and pull together Slave Beast and Steel Freak as The Outcasts.

I play whenever i get the time...typically a Sunday or Monday Night...about every other week...
PPV (SuperCard) every 5th card.
Try to get every wrestler on every card (which is why i don't play as often because it if for a few hours each time...and with chasing 3 kids all over...not to mention coaching then in sports and volunteering as an assistant scoutmaster)...That way i know i am using them and getting my money's worth.

While I'm catching up, I do a tournament to introduce the new wrestlers, then hold 10 cards in the game year before moving on to the next year. Not a ton of time for a wrestler to establish themselves, but it's been working ok. I have at least one "supercard" with major feuds featured while the other 10 cards have everyone (who's not injured or suspended) wrestle. At least 2 other cards are for "secondary feuds."

I run 32 cards a year, with 4 major supercards and a couple minor supercards. The main show is called GWF OVERDRIVE (with a 4-match GWF IGNITION pre-show). My PPVs so far have been Galactimania, Titan Wrestlefest, King of the Galaxy (King of the Ring style), and Galaxy Wars.

I run just ten big cards per game year. It's modelled more on the supercard-a-month feds we get over here.

For my fed (2019) I do one card for singles (called GWF: Hyper Wrestling) and one for tag teams (called GWF: Smash TV) every eight cards I either do a super card or a PPV. Depending on what month I'm in. Infact my twin brother(Sunsetflip84) has his own fed (GCW) with his own PPV's and everything. Coming up this week is are annual GWF/GCW mega promotion PPV war called the STAR CHALLENGER CUP. We take tags and single wrestlers from both are feds randomly draw names from a hat and pair those two in a tag tournament! (the rule being that the both wrestlers must be from opposing feds!) the final team to that wins wins the cup then must face off agains't each other. The winner receives a title shot from thier respective feds!
These are just some of my supercard/PPV (Im still rearanging the order)
Jan- "COSMIC CHOAS" Feb- (supercard) "My Bloody Valentine" July- "HEATWAVE (date of the year)"(like SummerSlam) Sep- Galaxian War Games Oct- Halloween Havoc (I'm still working on some other PPV names ect.)

I used to post my fed results but not so much anymore due to being heckled by a select few...but anyway...
-I have a regular card every three days...these are like house shows! So, about 120-130 cards a year...
-I certain time limits on when the champs defend the titles... World/World Tag/Woman's defend the straps AT LEAST once a month and the Intercontinental title defended AT LEAST twice a month
-My version of Raw are the Wild Wednesday and Saturday Night Xplosion...in which, if a card falls on that day then it's televised.
- Recently changed the way that I do rankings from a point system to a win-loss record/storyline driven system.
-My Supercards are: New Year's Slaughter (1 Jan); Rumble in the Rockies (February); The Bunkhouse Brawl Tournament (month long hardcore tournament); Hostile TakeOver (15 Apr); Great American Bash (June 1); WrestleWar (July); Laborphobia (Labor Day); Hallowen Horror (October); and Season's Beatings (Dec 15)...
-Other rules I picked up since 1989...I roll twice for DQs to reduce the disqualifications after a card I had EVERY match end in that way...CHAMPION'S ADVANTAGE rule: the champ must be pinned twice in a row for the title to change hands...

I have my 2 weekly shows (which aren't run in real time, just whenever I can get to them) Monday Night Brawl and Thursday Torture.
As far as PPVs go, I have my main couple that I do every year, GalactaMania, Deimos Perennial, Cosmic Clash, and Only The Best.
The other PPVs, like the "mini" ones, I just put in whenever I feel the time is right.
I don't say that I have to do this PPV in June, and then this one in July, I just let the story lines play out and put in the PPVs when it feels right.
Over planning is a recipe for disaster.

I just have all out hell, cards anytime, PPV's anytime, nothing is planned. I just shoot from the hip!!(sometimes I have 2 or 3 cards in a day) I mean don't get me wrong, guys that are on winning streaks gets title shots and guys that are losing, have to win to get back to the top! My feds are very unpredictable. Anything can and will happen.
tkx again, the dice don't lie!

I plan to run 32 weekly shows. 4 between each PPV. And a total of 8 PPVs per game year. My last PPV of the year will be called Galacticon since that is when the the 2122 set will be released and my fed year will change.
However, like Payback, I will stall my Galacticon PPV until July 7-8..I have been playing a lot of late, so if I happen to have 65 cards before I actually get to July that is how many I will have before the year turns & the Galacticon PPV.

I play however many cards I get to in a given year. 2119 had 30 cards, 2120 had 19, so far 2121 has had 26 cards, so whatever I get to is fine. I'll probably do many 4 or 5 more before the year is up. My main RAW-ish show is called GWF Friday Night Rampage. I usually toss in a ppv every 5 cards or so. My WrestleMania-type ppv is called Supremacy. Besides Supremacy, the only other regular ppv I have is called Cosmic Combat, which is the first ppv of the year. The rest I just name as I go. I also have a few SuperCards which I guess would be like the old "Clash of the Champions" or Saturday Night's Main Event. Still debating on what to do with the Promoter Madness characters. They will debut at my next ppv which will be called the Gauntlet, but after that, I have no plans for what will happen to those characters going into 2122.
