These matches all look really good. Any chance of posting the rules/charts for the Stretcher Match. I think rules for this type of match should become official in LOW someday.

Slymm The best stretcher match that I've seen (and that I still use) is Mark Taggart's stretcher match. You simply use the original feud table and roll on it in place of any finishers or PIN situations. Any instructions where a wrestler is taken out on a stretcher means the match is over. |

Cory has posted the updated PDFs of these matches on our LOW Bootlegs Yahoo Group. You can print them off and double side them, so they resemble an "official" game chart.

Well, just because I'm an evil bastard...
HIGH SEAS MATCH by Tim Dalton
Description: This match will settle feuds where outside interference has been involved in the outcome of previous encounters. A floating wrestling ring is placed in the middle of a small lake. The wrestlers and referee are transported to the ring by a boat which will be docked to the ring.
Rules: 1.) Two out of three falls; 2.) No DQ or countouts; 3.) No managers or ringside allies allowed; 4.) Ignore (lv) option since this is in the middle of a lake; 5.) Add two to the wrestlers' Agility ratings to account for the buoyancy of the ring; 6.) Subtract two from all deathjump rolls; 7.) Substitute HIGH SEAS CHART for "out of the ring"; 8.) If any wrestlers (real or bootleg) are aquatic in nature, ignore the Agility changes and subtract one from Power Rating. Also, ignore #6 on the Chart and roll again.
HIGH SEAS CHART
1 - You throw the opponent into the lake. Add 1 to opponent's Pin and Agility.
2 - You whack your foe with an oar from the rowboat. Opponent rolls Pin.
3 - You dropkick the opponent into the referee, who falls through the ropes and into the lake. No pinfalls or submissions for 7 moves.
4 - You choke the opponent with the rope which docks the boat. Opponent rolls on Level 3 Defense*.
5 - Opponent bodyslams you into the boat. He throws you back into the ring. Opponent rolls on Level 3 Offense.
6 - Opponent grabs you and holds your head underwater. You break free but are weak and gasping for air. Roll your pin.
* If this instruction is rolled more than three times in a match, the boat floats away and the match becomes 3 out of 5 falls so the boat can be recovered.
Some of the rules are...well...unique, I guess is the proper word. Sadly I don't have the Triton Truck Match with me but have a morbid curiosity of my own to see it.

*shrug* I didn't write the match.
This was back in the days of the first "into the ropes" chart which did have a "Roll on Level 3 Defense" instruction, so there was precedent for it.

And BDS said Pete was a face. WTFE! That's a sneaky heel move all the way. |

Hopefully the Triton Truck Match will get posted some day. It didn't look bad on the surface, but both Cory and I had bad experiences and stopped using it. |

I'll post the Truck match tomorrow if you like. I didn't because Chad so dramatically said don't do it so I hadn't yet. I'm not an evil bastard like Pete, I'm just a major jackass from time to time but I'm loyal to my friends.

Hey, I made it, I can say it's bad. I was a young Promoter looking to add something new to this game. |

I think that's where things can get out of hand! |

My other favorite was #19 or so, where an ally drives by in a limo and throws you a weapon! We need to sign Barry Darsow as Blacktop Bully for LOW, so we can play this as The King of The Road Match from which Triton Truck was inspired. |

I had successive rolls of 19 and 20 right away in what was supposed to be a blowoff to a big feud. That was enough for me to put it on the shelf.
