The Ruthless Rule (Official Announcement & Declarations)

Alberta Wrestling Federation

With this, so declares the Ruthless Rule is in place. In order to help avoid burnout and respect the value and sometimes fluctuating availability of time, the Ruthless Rule allows a participant to not role-play for a week's show without penalty by betting their match result on their previous two 'for-match' role-plays (whatever those might be). The Ruthless Rule will only be employable after the submission of at least three match's worth of role-playing, and only reusable following employment after submitting at least three additional match's worth of promos. The use of the rule must also be announced publicly by that role-player (as a response to this thread) by 11:59PM EST on the Saturday prior to the show it will affect. This is to be fair to the opponent(s), so that they know what they are up against in well enough time.

That being said, this is the only acceptable form of no-show, if a role-player's character has been booked for a match or segment on the match card. Of course, conversations had in a timely fashion can solve anything, for communication is key. An unexpected and non-communicated no-show, although, will indeed be penalized the first time by way of warning and likely squashing of the character in their match, with the second no-show of this type resulting in termination from the federation.
