Show Ratings

[blaze]

Ok, so I was thinking...What if each show had a rating? Determined solely on match quality, match build ups, and the superstars in the match. What I mean is, each match receives an idividual rating on a scale from 1-5 (Determined by an unbiase source of course, most likely the match simmer )...Then all matches rating are added together and divided by the amount of matches there are...

This way, you can compare each week and see how the shows are progressing. And, each wrestler can see there individual match rating and see how it was...Because I personally dont watch all matches, but would like to know how my match stacked up against others....And everyone loves to be a part of the highest rated match (Match of the night) and this would be a good way to showcase it...

Now, things that would effect the rating...Would be like (i'll use mine and Cross's match as an example) All the reversals would bring its rating down some. (Bcuz it would bore the fans) The lack of build up for it would bring it down some. The fact that it was the rubber match between them would bring it up. How close it was at the end would bring the rating up...And that highflying move that Cross did would bring it up....

So, we'll give it a rating...of, oh....4.3...

then lets say theres four other matches rated.....3.8, 2.6, 4.9, and a perfect 5....( now here comes the use for a calculator )

So add that up...(you get 20.6) and divide by the number of matches....and you get...4.12

This show rating would have been a 4.12...Not too damn bad.....Now, you can compare this to next weeks show and see how the company is progressing....

Of course, these ratings could be used for other things too...And if there is ever a brand split down the line then you could use it to see which show is doing better...

Anyways, idk...Its late...just thought of this....thought it sounded cool...Wish I could explain it a bit better...but w/e....any thoughts on it?

Not a bad idea. Not bad at all really. Only question is what would be the pay off for the superstars involved? Able to compete in more specialty matches or something like that?

[fninfamous]

Interesting. If we can think of a way to put it to good use like Sarah said, then most definitely. I say let's do it. ;D

Damn good idea. This way, if different brands happen, we can know which show is in the lead. . Awesome idea. Let's do it.

[heaven]

I really like this idea. In fact we are going to give it a trail run for the ppv to see how it turns out.

[cin]

Awesome. Can't wait to see how it goes.

[Kimberly Masters]

[glow=green,2,300]I am not sure how it should work, but the idea is good. Just one question to one of our Angel's Chantell, as she is online at the moment. Is there a Full Throttle show before the PPV or is the PPV next? Candice seam to have lost the schedule for the shows.[/glow]

[heaven]

There is a Full Throttle this week...but its not of the normal kind. This Full Throttle is purely for figuring out who is going to be in the championship matches. These were already pre-made and can be found in Richards office.

The next show that people role play for their matches is the PPV Battlezone. This will be held on the 27 and will crown the first set of APW champions. This is where the idea will have its trail run. This way people have 2 weeks to get there matches, promo the hell out of them, score high points, and get a better match rating.

Ouch, shafted from the title tourny. Cant say I didnt see that coming. Oh well...I'll get my shot in due time.

Good Idea for the ratings system. It should show exactly how and when everyone is slacking off, which will hopefully be never

[Casey Angel]

No, Mr. Nedermeyer, you were not "shafted." If you read correctly, there are only 4 qualifier matches. The 8 selected were our most ACTIVE RPers at the time. However, only 4 will advance to the BattleZone. 2 others will be selected for the match. These 2 will be the best RPers leading up to the PPV. They will NOT have qualifier matches. They will be rewarded for RPing well by being put in the BattleZone match. You could still be in the match should you RP well enough for it. So, you know what you must do now.


By the way Blaze, great idea. However, I could only see this working one way. We post polls up for each match, asking the MEMBERS what they would rate each match between 1 and 5 stars. Of course, we would then expect you to WATCH each match before rating them. For this system to TRULY work, we must ALL participate. 3 opinions could be quite different compared to 30 after all.

[cin]

For those with a slow connection, that wouldn't work too well. Then we also have to tak into account the fact of ppl possibly being biased.

[Casey Angel]

Yes Cinder, people could be biased. That's why when you have 30 opinions compared to 2-6, the ratings will balance themselves out. For people with a slow connection, they can either suffer through having to wait on all the matches to download or they can simply choose not to participate. The same applies for those with fast connections. As I stated, for a rating system to truly work, this is the best option. We would need as many to participate as possible though.

[blaze]

Well, a shows rating should be based on what the viewers thought of it....So polls could work....I guess you'd just really need a test run then....to see how many people actually take the time to do this....

Most ideas do have little bugs (especially most of mine ) that got to be worked out...Just figured I'd suggest this and see if we could fix those bugs A lot of good ideas seem to have been added to my original concept....So I guess we'll just have to see how it turns out
