Oh Yeah! That time of the year again, where the GWFZ has their annual Open Invitational! Each year, the Z will invite 16 wrestlers from their rival promotions, the POW, The aCe and the GWF to come to their tournament for bragging rights! 64 man tournament! With points on the line for each win they get for their respective promotion!
This is how it is broken down.
Points System:
6 points for a win by Submission or Pinfall by Finisher.
4 points for a win by submission or pinfall by a Specialty move/hold.
3 points for a win by submission or pinfall by any other move/hold (schoolboy roll ups or non specialty moves).
2 points for a win by DQ
1 point for a win by Count Out.
6 points for a win in a Specialty Match*
*Specialty Matches can occur when at the beginning of the match, if the roll is doubles, a special match is chosen by the Special Match chart in the 2112 Ringside Companion.
And here's the brackets:
Each win is important as it's an elimination style tournament. Making it to the Bonus Rounds is also important! As wrestlers will receive BONUS POINTS for making it to the Sweet Sixteen, Excellent Eight, Final Four and Championship Round.
Here's how the bonus points go.
SWEET SIXTEEN = 10 points + win points.
EXCELLENT EIGHT = 14 points + win points.
FINAL FOUR = 18 points + win points.
CHAMPIONSHIP = 24 points + win points.
A wrestler could make up some serious ground just for advancing to the bonus rounds! Lots of pride on the line and no one likes losing this tournament! This could very well be the last traditional Z invite as the POW and aCe will be closing their doors after this year, in which the Z will host an Invite in a different format in 2126 with the Territories System! So this tournament is sort of special.
Will the Z win their own tournament this year or will their rivals get the better of them?
Tune in to find out!
