Yes it's back already. Less than a month after crowning Skippy as season 3 champion he has to start his defence in season 4 of GRAPL: GRAPL harder, even harder than the last time I used this subtitle. No champion has managed to defend his title successfully, Zellery came so close in season 2 losing to ROTS in a tiebreak. ROTS then outright failed to compete. So will Skippy push on or follow the trend of fading away into obscurity?
Before we get underway it's time for them (now) annual reading of Mockmasters GRAPL poem:
Mockmaster wrote:GRAPL
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in GRAPL
GRAPL will make you feel brand new
Making match predictions will inspire you
Let's hear it for GRAPL, GRAPL, GRAPL
Now the yearly listing of the rules, read these now because I only post them at the start.
Rules1. Deadline for entries is one minute before the PPV starts.
2. Champions' deadline for entry is one minute before midnight the SATURDAY before the PPV. No more extensions. Due to complaints this is now permanent. Even if I get the card up late on Saturday then the champ deadline is still the same.
3. No more mystery prizes. 5 points are awarded for the person(s) coming top. This means you need to go for the win to get the big points. I can change the amount at any time
4. Thanks to 3 there are no more tiebreaks! Except for the finale. Usual tiebreak rules will apply.
5. No more PM entry as no one used it last season.
6. Putting your entry in a spoiler box or making it heard to read will render it null and void.
7. You may put relevant and sensibly sized pictures into predictions like Ginga did but don't go overboard.
8. Keep your prediction simple. Any "and/ors/ifs" , random comments or double predictions will void that question.
9. ANY attempts to cheat will result in a strike. Three strikes and you are perma banned from GRAPL. Strikes have been erased from the previous season, we don't want Zemo going out in the first round.
10. When I ask for a loser or a survivor in the singular then that means you put one name. Loser means the person who submits, is pinned or causes a no contest/DQ. If the DQ is outside interference then the question is ruled out.
11. Grand prizes are the same as last year.
12. I can add to or change these rules at any time.
13. There will be a TNA GRAPL this year. Mockmaster postponed it till this year, blame him.
14. All winners of title matches are at least double points. Only predictions of the winners of titles matches are double any other questions are normal points unless marked otherwise.
15. Any other multiple points questions will be clearly marked.
16. If you don't read these then ask me things covered here then you are a retard. But if I have missed something or I don't make sense at times then please say so.
The tag tournament will start next month. Entry to this PPV will get you automatic entry, Skippy and his partner will be getting a bye to the quarter finals.
