Hurt Referee Chart

[dvdmorse]

I really like the new game charts, and I find them more logical in many ways. However, because the new charts move the hurt referee possibility from the deathjump chart to the into the turnbuckle chart, some of the language on the old hurt referee table no longer makes sense. I have altered the old hurt referee table to work with the into the turnbuckle chart and taken out the language that did not make sense to me. Just thought I'd share it.

HURT REFEREE CHART

Use this chart when the referee has been hurt in a match. The wrestler on offense is the one who tried to whip his opponent into the turnbuckle when the referee was knocked down. The referee might disqualify one or both men. Remember that the referee can only be injured on the Into the Turnbuckle chart once per match. If you roll the hurt referee a second time in the match, roll again until you get another result.

Roll	Outcome
2-3	As the wrestler on offense charges toward his opponent in the corner, the wrestler on defense pulls the referee in front of him. The referee is knocked down and may disqualify the wrestler on defense. Wrestler on defense rolls disqualification. If there is no disqualification, assume that the referee could not call for the disqualification because he is unconscious. The match continues without a referee for 5-15 offensive moves (roll 2-12 and add 3) beginning with the wrestler on offense making a move on Level 3 Offense. Count all offensive moves by both wrestlers and their tag partners if their partners tag in. In tag matches, assume there is bedlam, but roll only for the legal wrestlers in the ring. Assume the other wrestlers are fighting elsewhere, like outside the ring. Ignore pins, disqualifications, and count outs and keep playing (keep adding tokens to PIN Ratings, however, after PIN attempts or “Add 1” moves). After the designated number of moves, a new referee enters and the match again becomes a normal match with the new referee present.
4-5	The wrestler on offense whips his opponent into the corner but the opponent is thrown into the referee and knocks him down. The referee may disqualify the wrestler on offense for initiating the contact. Wrestler on offense rolls disqualification. If there is no disqualification, assume that the referee could not call for the disqualification because he is unconscious. The match continues without a referee for 5-15 offensive moves (roll 2-12 and add 3) beginning with the wrestler on offense making a move on Level 3 Offense. Follow instructions as above.
6-7	The referee is caught between the wrestler on defense and the turnbuckle and is knocked unconscious. The match continues without a referee for 5-15 offensive moves (roll 2-12 and add 3) beginning with the wrestler on offense making a move on Level 3 Offense. Follow instructions as above.
8-10	The referee is sandwiched between the two wrestlers in the corner is knocked unconscious. The wrestler on offense knocks his opponent down and uses his finisher on the fallen opponent, but there is no referee to see the pin or submission. The wrestler on offense is frustrated and tries to revive the referee. Roll one die to see what happens. Even roll: The wrestler on offense successfully revives the referee. The wrestler on offense goes for the kill on his opponent and rolls on level three offense. Odd roll: While the wrestler on offense is distracted, the opponent (or the opponent’s manager or tag partner or ringside ally) makes a move. If the opponent is a rulebreaker, assume he (or someone) comes up behind the wrestler on offense and does something typically nasty like hit him with a chair. If the opponent is not a rulebreaker, assume he comes up behind the wrestler on offense and suddenly rolls him up in a small package. In both cases, the referee miraculously revives and counts. Wrestler on offense rolls his PIN. Play the game normally at this point.
11-12	The referee is knocked out, and the wrestlers brawl outside the ring. A new referee enters almost immediately. Roll one die: Even roll: The new referee disqualifies both wrestlers as they refuse to break up their brawl. Roll 1 or 3: The match continues with the Wrestler on offense making the first move on level three offense. Roll 5: The match continues with the Wrestler on defense making the first move on level three offense.

Note: When the Hurt Referee Chart calls for a new referee to enter and a special referee (such as Massif) is in the building, assume that the new referee is the special referee.

Nice work. Here are a few additional Ref Charts from the archives that may come in handy with use of your chart. These deal with concert issues of count cadence, use of a special guest ref and the circumstance of an official with an outright bias

Ref Charts

This is the chart I use to help spice things up a bit for each match. Could lead to some good angles with refs vs. wrestlers, etc.

Here you go and I hope you like it.

Roll 2d6 for results at beginning of match to see who is the ref.

2-3 Ref favors Heels (-1 roll for heels (pins,CO, and DQ) +1 to faces)

4 Ref fast count (+1 to CO and Pins)

5 Ref will let them fight (-1 to DQ rolls)

6-8 Normal ref, No adjustments

9 Ref takes no BS (+1 to DQ rolls)

10 Slow Count Ref (+1 to CO and Pins)

11-12 Ref favors faces (-1 roll for faces (pins,CO, DQ) +1 to heels)

___________________________________________________________________

Special Referee Rules

In this angle, the referee (usually a guest wrestler) plays a more prominent role in the match. Now what rules could possibly make a referee special?:

1. Three strikes & you're out rule: if a wrestler even "rolls" three dq situations, he is automatically fined. The match doesn't end, but the referee has already made an impact by issuing a financial penalty.

2. Increase dq ratings with each successive roll: dq ratings rise
with each occurrence, increasing the probability of a
disqualification. I don't limit the increase level in any way. This
builds up the power of rule 3.

3. Titles can change hands on disqualifications: This is the key
that makes rules 1 & 2 so important. Not only does a special referee have the power to fine a wrestler, not only is it more likely that a wrestler will be disqualified due to increasing dq ratings, but titles CAN CHANGE HANDS ON DISQUALIFICATIONS.

Using these rules makes a special guest referee, SPECIAL. It's also
a good way to occasional use the increasing dq rule, in a way that
gives it the highest possible impact.

This is not something I'd suggest using all the time, but only when
it would make a good storyline with in an already developed angle.

Biased Guest Referee Factor:

If part of your storyline involves use of a 'biased' Guest referee
you can use this element to add an extra dimension to the match. Note the odds are stacked HEAVILY against the disadvantaged wrestler as the biased guest ref has ZERO intention of awarding the subject of his bias a victory!

The impact of a biased ref comes into play during dq rolls, outside
interference & pin attempts.

Biased Guest Referee and Disqualification:

The disadvantaged wrestler could have his dq rating increased by plus 2

The favored wrestler would NEVER be disqualified
for any reason

Faked ref bump element:

Once per match (randomly chosen) the ref gets 'knocked out' while
disadvantaged wrestler is on offense, allowing the favored wrestler
to take over on level 2 offense in the course of the confusion

Outside Interference

The favored wrestler benefits from 'collusion' with the ref turning
his back to the effects of interference

The disadvantaged wrestler could have a ringside ally 'ejected'
or at the moment he would have scored a pin fall, you can inject
a 'perceived interference' dq roll to invoke a chance of
'reversed decision'

On Pin Attempts:

The disadvantaged wrestler faces fast counts (+1 on pin rating)
throughout the entirety of the match

The favored wrestler benefits from slow counts (-1)

Upon a rolled 'pin fall' on the favored wrestler...substitutes
the following element:

Biased Guest refuses to count three and ATTACKS disadvantaged
wrestler:

12 minus pin fatigue (disadvantaged) equals X

Rolls of X or BELOW means the disadvantaged wrestler comes out
ahead in the confrontation. A neutral ref comes out to officiate
the remainder of the match as disadvantaged now takes over on
level 3 offense

Rolls ABOVE X means the biased ref succeeds in the attack and
the disadvantage wrestler is knocked unconscious and pinned!

Notice a fresh wrestler would have a much easier time of thwarting
off the attacks of a ref than a wrestler with pin fatigue of 8.

This element is helpful when you want to create very difficult
circumstances stacked against someone with little chance of
victory.
