Welcome To Ultimate Wrestling
Championship!
Championship!
Official Handbook for the Ultimate Wrestling Championship: Welcome We’re delighted to have you here if you’re visiting for the first time. Thank you for visiting and taking the time to explore. We genuinely hope you find it appealing. Once you've had a look around and feel that the Ultimate Wrestling Championship is the right place for you, feel free to register and join the excitement!
The following are the rules and guidelines for this federation. It is necessary for you to read the entire handbook before proceeding to finalize your contract. By finalizing your contract, we assume you have read and comprehended all the rules and guidelines outlined in this handbook. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to a staff member for clarification. UWC retains the authority to modify these rules or any content in this HANDBOOK as necessary to address specific situations.
A Little Bit About Us!
At Ultimate Wrestling Championship (UWC), we see e-fedding as an enjoyable game played among good friends. We make every effort to maintain an environment that is as free from drama as possible. Our aim is for this place to feel like your e-fedding home. Our final objective is that.
If the Ultimate Wrestling Championship is where you want to be (or a place you're considering trying for some time), you should know there's a set of specific rules and guidelines we expect everyone to abide by. Believe me, it's easy. Although it might appear to be an extensive amount to review, the majority is based on common sense. Treat others as you wish to be treated yourself. Be considerate.
Ultimately, the key guideline is to enjoy yourself while ensuring that you do not hinder or disrupt the fun of other UWC members. The regulations outlined below aim to safeguard those two aspects. Individuals who register but fail to adhere to the rules will be removed. That's all there is to it. Our staff is courteous and will discuss matters with members privately before imposing a ban. (Typically.) Nevertheless, we retain the authority to remove any member from our roster for any duration, including a lifetime ban, if they repeatedly, blatantly, or generally disregard other players.
We encourage you and everyone present to enjoy themselves and be imaginative in sharing the stories that define your characters.
We politely request you not to apply if you are here for any other reason.
GENERAL INFORMATION
UWC, short for the Ultimate Wrestling Championship, is an upcoming online wrestling federation set to launch in the e-wrestling scene in September 2024. UWC may be a newcomer to the e-wrestling scene, but its owner and founder, Omar Azure, is not. With 20 years of experience in e-wrestling, he is committed to transforming this federation into something extraordinary.
The UWC is situated in a fictional universe where wrestling is genuine. Occasionally, matches are staged to advance the development of the storylines. None of it is real, so it has no connection with actual wrestlers or genuine wrestling organizations.
Preface | The UWC combines elements of roleplaying, competition, and storytelling within a fictional world where wrestling is portrayed as authentic. At times, matches are designed to advance the storylines. It's all fictional, with no connection to actual wrestlers or wrestling organizations.
Storylines & Creativity | We encourage handlers to actively participate and maintain creative control over their characters when developing feuds and storylines. We enjoy brainstorming together and believe you should appreciate your disagreements, contributing your thoughts on their development.
Mission Statement | Our goal is to create a federation committed to delivering an engaging feeding experience for individuals who cannot spend multiple hours a week on their hobby. Whether you're a student juggling school and homework or an efedder balancing a full-time job with overtime, UWC will transform into your ideal destination. We understand that efedding is a pastime, not a lifestyle; our aim is to create an enjoyable environment for both experienced and new efedders.
Motive Statement | Our goal is to ensure enjoyment while fostering a family-like bond among our members. New members will soon realize that we provide an enjoyable OOC atmosphere that is hard to find elsewhere.
How to Join: Visit our JOIN ULTIMATE WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIP board to find our template codes for application. Duplicate the code and open a new thread for each character you're registering, complete the application, and submit it in your corresponding thread. To register a team, each individual character must complete a singles application in addition to a tag team application. The same applies to a faction. After your character application is approved by a staff member, it will be transferred to the WRESTLER'S PROFILE section on the UWC LOCKER ROOMS board.
Opt-in Reservations | Performances will be scheduled using an opt-in thread. We understand that many of you are involved in multiple federations, and we don't want to burden you or risk you missing a deadline. Opt-in threads will remain active from their creation until 24 hours prior to when the latest show is posted. The staff will then design a show featuring those who chose to participate. Please be aware that despite opting in, not everyone may be booked; however, we will make every effort.
Leave of Absence/Resignation | Please notify us if you require a leave of absence. We have a section on our board for these requests, and we will also receive inquiries through PM, Twitter, or email. We retain the right to place your character in situations where they may be injured or otherwise affected to justify your character's absence. Should you choose to resign, we retain the authority to dismiss you in any required manner.
General Rules
Show Respect to Everyone - Racist, sexist, or otherwise intolerant messages, images, or allusions are not tolerated in the Out of Character environment. Regarding Roleplaying: If you believe your character must exhibit racism or intolerance to be portrayed as a "heel," this behavior will not be accepted. The distinction between portraying a "villain" and overstepping boundaries is subtle. Keep in mind that it's integral to Ultimate Wrestling Championship's canon that our 'shows' are 'broadcast online' via our exclusive 'network'. If something wouldn't be suitable for broadcast on television or a company network, then the answer is no. If you need to consult with a staff member about whether a comment or remark is suitable, it's likely not.
- It's preferable to keep such matters away from our forums and out of our game, and consequently, from our society. Violating this rule results in an instant and permanent ban. Without exceptions.
Drama-Free Zone - Leave it at the door.
We take pride in maintaining an environment that is as free from drama as possible. Despite our staff's best efforts to prevent such situations, they occasionally still occur. We strive to treat everyone equitably, offering a genuine opportunity to all interested participants.
Do not join if you tend to publicly criticize others or engage in arguments via the shoutbox or on Twitter. As part of this policy, we request that you ensure other feds' business remains in its appropriate place. The CW forums, shoutbox, and Discord server are exclusively intended for Ultimate Wrestling Championship business.
- This also pertains to the leakage of information from our servers to external parties outside the federation. If you’re not participating in the game with us or enjoying the posts your friends or colleagues share, you will face a ban. Disclosing members' personal information to external parties will lead to a permanent ban.
Guidelines for Characters
Every Character Must Be an Original Creation! - Exclude any John Cenas, Stone Colds, Cody Rhodes, etc. You can choose anyone as your Picture Base, provided they aren't currently used by another member or In Character Staff of the Ultimate Wrestling Championship. While you can incorporate gimmicks, movesets, and catchphrases, merely duplicating a real-life superstar and altering their name won't garner additional points for creativity. Create your own character, and if you need assistance, the staff is more than happy to help.
- A non-player character (NPC) refers to a wrestler or character managed by the federation, rather than by a human player. NPCs are often used as filler wrestlers in matches. You can assume control of a NPC as your character once you have received approval from a staff member. NOT ALL NPCs CAN BE TAKEN!!
By submitting your application, you explicitly grant the Ultimate Wrestling Championship staff permission to incorporate your character into shows and other "In-Character" content. I'm not certain why I need to put this in writing, but you'd be amazed.
The final decisions on match outcomes regarding wins and losses will always be made by the staff. - Should you disagree with a match result, you are required to reach out to staff privately to discuss the issue or seek an explanation. Being upset about losing is understandable, but it's not appropriate to publicize those feelings. If you can't cope with the disappointment of losing, you might be given a break or advised to join a different federation.
- Our team makes considerable efforts to minimize bias in the scoring decisions of matches. Therefore, we will not accept any claims or suggestions to the contrary. If you believe that we might not be as fair as we could be, please reach out to a staff member through a private message. If we are unable to address your concerns, we will request that you compete in a different federation.
Failing to attend an event without providing an explanation will lead to your removal from the Ultimate Wrestling Championship. It's perfectly acceptable to take a break. It's acceptable if an unforeseen event prevents you from role-playing for any show, provided that at least one UWC Staff member is informed in advance. Kindly let us know so we can meet your requirements. If you fail to appear, we reserve the right to write off or use your character as we see appropriate, which often doesn't reflect well on your character.
Rules for Roleplaying and Judging
Unchangeable - These rules are permanent.
Cheating in any form is prohibited, including the reuse of past roleplays (using a roleplay you've written previously in any format to qualify for a match here). This encompasses plagiarism as well. Any form of plagiarism will lead to an instant ban.
- The Character Development board is exempt from the recycling rule. You are allowed to share links to, or copies of, your works from other federations and exhibit them on that board without any penalties. It is indeed encouraged.
- Replying directly to your opponent's RP, if they post before you and before the deadline, will lead to a deduction of points during the judging of your RP. Blatant violation of this rule will lead to an instant decision of a loss for that match. We highly recommend that you refrain from reading your opponent's RP in your match thread before you post yours. Further Details on Direct Replying Below
Using characters created by others requires their explicit permission. - Verify with the staff before proceeding.
You must obtain explicit permission from the Staff before using Staff members or other NPC characters. - You'll need to contact a staff member to request permission. Be ready for rejection if your idea negatively impacts a certain member or doesn't align with that character's style.
UWC operates as a HYBRID Federation. This means we highly recommend collaborating closely with other members to develop stories and perspectives that unfold over time. We are adaptable. Some parts of these stories and perspectives might involve matches with prearranged outcomes. This is also recommended. However, the majority of title matches will be determined by the best roleplays winning. Staff will only agree to angle a title match if it's truly essential or if the situation urgently requires it.
"Direct Response/Reply" - Involves waiting for your opponents to post in your match thread before reading their posts and having your character respond directly. People tend to delay posting their RPs as long as possible due to the unfair advantage it provides.
- We request that you post your RP without first reading your opponent's RP. Although we can never be certain if someone is violating this rule, it is in your best interest to refrain from doing so, as explained in the guidelines below.
- You are welcome to remark on any previous material from your opponents' role plays in past shows, or on content provided to you from the shows themselves. We have experienced players serving both on our staff and as match judges. Usually, we can determine. We understand the allure of waiting to read an opponent's roleplay before crafting or editing your own, but this habit ultimately won't lead to success in the long term. Stick to the formula: investigate anything you like about your opponents’ role-playing strategies from past matches, previous segments, biographies, and the matches themselves. Completing your homework is important!
Although it's not strictly forbidden to read your opponent's posts about your character for your match, doing so can make it very challenging to resist responding to what is written. Proceed at your own risk.
Flexible - Staff may allow exceptions in special cases, particularly when all parties consent to the change.
Only one roleplay is allowed per match, unless stated otherwise in the match thread.
Tag Team matches are unique, featuring either a limit of 2 RPs (one per handler with the specified word restriction) or a single collaborative RP where both team handlers contribute to one post, allowing for a doubled word count.
- A handler managing both members of a tag team can either submit two individual roleplays adhering to the single-competitor limit or submit one roleplay at double that limit. When a team consists of two handlers, they can either each post individual roleplays up to the single limit or decide to work together on one. Collaborate on one post.
Grading Roleplays
Here is a Judging Guideline for Ultimate Wrestling Championship staff and match judges to follow when evaluating submitted match RPs. However, for complete transparency, this is merely a guideline, indicating that some of the voting staff members do not strictly adhere to a points-based rewarding system. The Ultimate Wrestling Championship evaluates role-plays based on three primary criteria: Style and Presentation, Story and Character Development, and Promo or Match Talk. The aim of sharing this guideline is to assist federation members in comprehending what we seek when evaluating a match roleplay. We request that your writing be crafted as a narrative or script that describes your character's life, focusing particularly on how they are reacting, responding, or managing the anticipation leading up to their assigned match.
Some of our judges focus more on Story/Character Development than on promo. Some individuals prefer Promo/Match Talk more. Every match judge has personal interests or biases, leading us to believe that any rubric system will inevitably contain a degree of subjectivity. The federation's word limits and regulations must always be adhered to. In summary, you'll always seek a balanced approach.
Even the most skilled writers in this field are always seeking ways to improve.
This guideline divides the complete body of work into three categories, each receiving a score from 0 to 10, with ten being the highest possible score.
Presentation Skills: Evaluating Your Ability to Present Your Work (0-10)
General Presentation: Fundamentals of Spelling, Punctuation, and Grammar Ensure consistent use of either first-person or third-person perspective, as well as past or present tense. If English isn't your native language or you have a disability that complicates following these rules, please inform the staff privately. We are happy to overlook this part of the judging process to promote inclusivity, as long as your story is understandable to us.
Readability - Avoid large chunks of text; use appropriate spacing to enhance ease of reading for your audience.
Font Color - Does NOT contribute to this score. While a visually appealing roleplay can enhance the reading experience, at times, the use of colors may be detrimental. You're welcome to be imaginative with it, but try not to create a complete disarray.
Character Growth: The Journey of Your Character (0-10)
In Ultimate Wrestling Championship, your character's story holds significant importance. It informs the reader about the identity, characteristics, and methods of the person you've chosen to portray. It also explains why your character is important, a consideration that should always be at the forefront of your thoughts while writing.
What is the backstory of your character? What changes have occurred since we last heard from him/her until the present? Does it capture interest? Will this impact how the character approaches their next match? The keys to success are aligning relevance with good storytelling. Kindly note that if your character speaks about themselves, even in the context of a 'promo', the judges should still evaluate this when voting on character development.
Promotional Activity: Criticizing Your Opponent (Trash Talk) - (0-10)
Precisely, what your character mentions regarding your opponent(s). The promotional content should align with the dynamic your character portrays in contrast to your opponent's dynamic. (A good character wouldn't threaten an opponent's family as a demonstration.)
- Avoid reading and responding to your opponent's initial role-play with your initial role-play. We refer to this practice as 'Direct Replying,' and it is discouraged because it will result in an automatic score of 0 points for the promo section of the roleplay.
- It is permissible to respond to your opponent's earlier roleplays, including anything they've said or done in any of the shows.
- Refrain from incorporating any out-of-character thoughts, feelings, or remarks in your in-character promotion. Nobody desires this conflict. Roleplays should focus solely on your character's thoughts, emotions, and actions. Any deviation from this guideline could lead to the disqualification of your roleplay and may also constitute a breach of Ultimate Wrestling Championship's regulations, potentially resulting in a warning or ban.
X Factor Tiebreaker
When a tie is not acceptable as a result, the staff will incorporate the overall x-factor as the fourth and final criterion. These are precisely the unexplained factors that might lead staff to prefer one RP slightly more than another. Sometimes, that's essentially what it boils down to. It's entirely subjective and often seems unfair.
However, there are numerous talented writers in this hobby, and achieving two high-scoring pieces is typical in this game. Outstanding RPs will face defeat. The staff will ensure that every character is portrayed positively and has something to build on, even in defeat, particularly if the handle makes an effort.
Remarks on RP Judging
You won't win every match you compete in during the Ultimate Wrestling Championship. Even the most gifted individuals will experience loss. Please refrain from applying if you cannot manage a setback with civility. Judges and staff put in significant effort to ensure each match is judged as fairly and impartially as possible. Errors are inevitable and may occasionally occur. Nevertheless, remember to remain open-minded and recognize that a single loss or a series of losses neither make, break, nor define your character. How your character deals with the challenges they encounter will.
- Victory and defeat in competitive matches hinge on which participant the judge(s) believe crafted the superior roleplay for the event. This is nearly always the subject of our most intense debates here. We strive to eliminate biases in match judging by selecting experienced judges who are neutral towards the participants. Nevertheless, it will consistently remain a system where one or more individuals attempt to select the piece of writing they prefer or enjoy more.
Is that fair? To the greatest extent we can manage. Great writing, much like outstanding films, is frequently deemed to underperform in terms of audience or critic ratings. We seek various perspectives on difficult decisions because there is often disagreement among people. Concentrate more on the overarching narrative you want to convey, rather than the result of one particular match.
- Enjoy playing this game. Embrace taking chances. Always act in accordance with what is just and aligns with your true self. Inquire. Welcome constructive criticism. Tackle this game with a focused mind and an optimistic outlook, and success will follow.
- Request feedback, and it will be provided. However, receiving feedback from a match judge does not justify initiating a debate. Mistakes are inevitable, and disagreements are bound to occur among us. The genuine individuals who read your work spared some of their time to provide feedback. Regardless of whether you agree with the feedback provided, we request that you express gratitude for their time and insight and then proceed forward.
- Roleplays must adhere to the rules outlined on this page and be posted as a reply in their designated match thread to qualify for grading towards the match outcome! In contrast, roleplays shared on the Character Development board will not be included in the evaluation of any match. They can be anything you wish and can be cited in your graded assignments. However, your score is affected solely by the work posted in your match thread, with nothing else contributing or detracting from it.
- Developing a character demonstrates the effort you are investing in their story. This will be beneficial in numerous other aspects. Believe me, our group pays attention and takes note.
Your dedication to the Ultimate Wrestling Championship, along with your roleplays, will bring you benefits beyond just weekly victories. The appearance of your character during matches and how your character is scheduled, among other aspects. Losing a match might pave the way for an impressive performance with your character next time.
- Even with considerable effort, you might still face defeat. We will do our utmost to present your character positively in that defeat and provide elements you can build upon. As we often mention, it's impossible for everyone to win all the time, but we aim to align the effort we observe with the dedication we invest in scripting every match and organizing each show.
Strategies and Segment Details
STRATEGY ARTISTRY: Strats, or strategies, are brief write-ups provided by a competitor to the match writer, detailing particular spots the handler wishes to include in their match. This may (and should) encompass responses to winning or losing, decisions to use a particular prop when allowed in a match, or even choices regarding non-submission, among other considerations. Please submit any match strategies to the person writing your match as soon as you can. Once the match writer has finished the match, the decision to use them is up to the writer's discretion if sent afterward. If you're uncertain about whom to send the strategies to, please send them to me. I will ensure they reach the appropriate people if needed.
MATCHES COME ALIVE WITH SEGMENTS: Segments within the show, such as interviews or backstage happenings, enrich match outcomes and can advance a storyline or ignite a new rivalry. Going the extra mile will make you stand out at UWC! Segments can be submitted until the show is published, but submitting them earlier makes it easier for staff to ensure they are included in the show. Segments or strategies submitted after the final deadline may be excluded at my discretion. I am not accountable if you delay in providing a segment and the show is published before you manage to send it.
Angles/Storylines
1. Feel free to create your own storylines and ideas, even though the staff will also try to generate some themselves. If you develop a story or angle you'd like to pursue, please send the staff a private message, instant message, or email to inform us. This ensures you aren't involved in situations you prefer to avoid.
2) Sometimes, matches are set up to advance the storylines. The staff will talk about this with you in advance so you are informed. You might discover a perspective that necessitates a match being tilted. Please verify this with the staff once more if you decide to proceed.
3) To have a segment included in the show, send me a PM by the RPing deadline.
4) If you and your opponent wish to create a storyline for the match's conclusion, you must obtain my approval! Message me privately or get in touch with me by other means at your earliest convenience.
Show Guidelines
BATTLEGROUND: The official Ultimate Wrestling Championship Flagship Show
- Live Stream on the Ultimate Wrestling Championship Network
- The deadline for roleplay is every alternate Wednesday, beginning with our inaugural show on September 4, 2024.
- Every other Saturday after the Roleplay deadline is the designated date for publication/posting.
- Announcement Pending for Segment/Match Deadline
- The majority of matches will be recorded in RECAP Style, whereas Championship matches will be comprehensively detailed.
- Each cycle consists of four bi-weekly BATTLEGROUND shows and culminates in a SUPERSHOW event, with the inaugural Halloween super-show, HALLOWED GROUND, set for October 30, 2024.
- The complete lineup for SHOWS/SUPERSHOWS is announced 48 hours after the previous show's results are published. (Therefore, if the show is uploaded on Saturday, the subsequent card will be uploaded the next Monday.)
- Approximately 72 hours prior to the final deadline of the current show cycle, staff will initiate an "opt-in thread" for the upcoming card. To be scheduled for the upcoming event, you NEED to opt in by replying to this thread and requesting to be booked. You will not be booked if you do not choose to opt in.
Details on Championship and Scoring System
1. Championships must be won, not handed out. The results of the championship matches will be determined entirely by role-playing.
2. To retain a championship, it must be defended. A title will be removed from the holder if it cannot be defended according to its guidelines.
3. You can only possess one singles championship simultaneously. When winning a championship match while already holding a championship, the lower-tier belt must be relinquished. It's possible to simultaneously possess a singles championship and one-half of the tag team championships.
4. The Contendership Points system serves as a mechanism to ensure all characters have equal opportunities for Championship matches. However, not all title matches will be decided solely by the points system. Number one contenderships and battle royales will still take place, among other events. Consider the Championship Point System as an additional, in-character framework.
10 Points - The UWC Championship (currently the leading First Tier Belt) must be defended at each Super-Show and can also be defended during the intervening weeks.
10 Points - The UWC Women's Championship in the Stand Alone Tier must be defended at each Super-Show and can also be defended during the weeks in between if a challenger is present.
5 Points - The UWC Shooting Star Championship serves as a motivational title. At the start of the season, we host a tournament that concludes with identifying the shooting star. The Shooting Star Championship is awarded to the Tournament winner. The person holding that title is not required to defend it but can use it at any time and place to challenge for the UWC Championship. Nonetheless, this is the sole championship that does not carry over to the next season.
*POINT SYSTEM IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE
Additional Details
- The fed will soon launch Facebook and Twitter pages to promote the site, attract members, and connect with the community. We expect you to behave appropriately if you are part of this federation on Facebook or Twitter. Instances of antagonistic behavior that cause out-of-character drama will be reviewed and may lead to your removal from the federation if deemed necessary. We do not tolerate any form of handler conflict.
- Although we have a presence on Facebook and Twitter, we do not closely monitor these platforms, so we cannot assure that any storylines, feuds, alliances, or other activities you initiate will be noticed. As a result, we have developed an in-house social media board called Chatter™ Media, which will be available to every roster member. It's a personal thread for the character to share updates, photos, or anything else they wish, all while remaining in character. Characters can respond to comments within their own threads as well as those on other threads, engaging in conversational exchanges similar to those on Facebook. This essentially ensures that we will be able to observe who's interacting, who's being friendly, who's in conflict, and so on.
- Although there's no publicly available ranking information, the staff has an official ranking system employed to decide who receives opportunities on each show. Throughout each cycle, characters accumulate points, and at the cycle's conclusion, those ranking highest will receive the primary opportunities in the next cycle.
In the interest of complete transparency, we allocate points for our ranking system as follows:
- For the benefit of total transparency, we award the following points for our ranking system:
Winning a match = 8 Points
Per Event Roleplay = 5 Points
Per Event Segment = 3 Points
Per Match Strat = 3 Points
Social Media (Facebook etc.) = 2 Points
Per Fan Access Answer = 1 Point
Per Vote in any Staff Poll = 1 Point
- In addition to the ranking system we use, we also consider general attitude when making our decision over who receives pushes and opportunities. Everyone will be given a chance regardless of “reputation” and you will only be judged based on your conduct on the boards here and on Facebook. However, if you’re negative or behave in a way that we deem instigative then you won’t get any pushes or opportunities. In fact, the chances are you’ll be removed from the fed. We want to encourage a positive, friendly atmosphere here and we can only achieve that with positive, friendly handlers. It doesn't matter if you're negative publicly or negative to one of us privately on a regular basis - we don't want it and if you do it, you're out.
We have a salary system in place for characters to earn money based on performances. These earnings can be used to purchase items in the UWC Store, which vary from advantages in fights to enhancing their attributes to make them a stronger performer in key areas.

We have a board called Fan Access™ that allows the Official UWC account to pitch anonymous questions to your characters. Staff handle the account and will submit these questions directly to your character’s individual Fan Access™ thread. You are required to answer these. Think of it as an in-house ‘Ask.fm’ account for your character. Questions will vary but will generally be used to enable staff to get a better understanding of your character, build matches, hype feuds and stir the pot IN character.
If you ever need time off, just drop either myself or another staff member a line to let us know. If you don’t want to be part of UWC anymore or decide that it’s not for you, all we ask is that you let us know via private message. We understand that finding the right fed for you isn’t easy (we struggled finding the right place as handlers) and we don’t take it personally. The only way you’ll burn bridges with us is if you flake or leave without having the decency to let us know.
And finally, staff reserves the right to remove handlers at any time for breaches in any of the aforementioned rules. As much as handlers have a choice of where to roleplay, The Administrators – has a choice on who plays here. Choice goes both ways. Come in, get involved, be active, be positive and be friendly. Those are the behaviors of handlers we want to make part of the UWC core.

We have a board called Fan Access™ that allows the Official UWC account to pitch anonymous questions to your characters. Staff handle the account and will submit these questions directly to your character’s individual Fan Access™ thread. You are required to answer these. Think of it as an in-house ‘Ask.fm’ account for your character. Questions will vary but will generally be used to enable staff to get a better understanding of your character, build matches, hype feuds and stir the pot IN character.
If you ever need time off, just drop either myself or another staff member a line to let us know. If you don’t want to be part of UWC anymore or decide that it’s not for you, all we ask is that you let us know via private message. We understand that finding the right fed for you isn’t easy (we struggled finding the right place as handlers) and we don’t take it personally. The only way you’ll burn bridges with us is if you flake or leave without having the decency to let us know.
And finally, staff reserves the right to remove handlers at any time for breaches in any of the aforementioned rules. As much as handlers have a choice of where to roleplay, The Administrators – has a choice on who plays here. Choice goes both ways. Come in, get involved, be active, be positive and be friendly. Those are the behaviors of handlers we want to make part of the UWC core.

- UWC has the right to change and modify its rules or anything that's in this handbook at their discretion and without notice. However, if the rules or anything are to be modified, Management will usually send out notification of doing so. Still, with that said, please check up on the rules often to see if anything has changed.
- Ultimate Wrestling Championship was created with the intention of having fun. Please refrain from applying to UWC if you have a habit of being a troublemaker. If you wish to argue In-Character, please, feel free to. But if you have issues with someone Out-of-Character, please keep them off the Social Media like Facebook and etc., and the Community Forums. If push comes to shove, and the handlers involved cannot handle their issues maturely, Management will try to mediate as best as possible.
