Strats are aids used to help the match writer not only craft the match, but get properly into your character's head and use your character right. If your character is doing moves they shouldn't be week in and week out, fill out a strat and it will stop.
Also, strats are manditory for title matches. Champions are expected to go the extra mile.
Strats don't have to be super in-depth; just a move list and basic info like hometown and weight is helpful.
Please copy and paste this strategy form into an e-mail, fill it out and send it to acadianwrestling@hotmail.com.
Thank you.

~ 2. MINDSET ~
This will describe the type of mindset your character is in. It will say how he feels about the match, and what he believes his odds are.
~ 3. MATCH STRATEGY ~
Obviously this is the strategy your character will employ to get the win. Attack the legs and ground the opponent, lean toward submissions, high flying/high pace, etc... Remember, strategy can be mental as well as physical.
~ 4. MOVES ~
List 10 - 20 moves your character might do in the match. This is here so you can learn new moves instead of exactly the same move set every week.
~ 5. RING ENTRANCE ~
This is where you create a unique ring entrance for your character using the event's commentators. YOU MUST put it in a form in which we can copy/paste it onto the card.
~ 6. ANGLING ~
This will include any sort of angling, storylines, history, etc... between the wrestlers.
~ 7. INTERFERENCE ~
This will include how your wrestler will react to interference; whether it be from fans, security, or a wrestler.
~ 8. AFTER MATCH ~
This will include what your wrestler will do after the match if he wins, loses, draws etc...
~ 9. INTERVIEWS ~
Any interviews you want included in the show go here. If your character has something extra on their mind that wasn't in an RP, put it here. It could be in the locker room, in the ring, in the crowd, taped earlier in the day, whatever.
~ 10. RUN INS / ATTACKS ~
If you were going to attack another wrestler, either in the back or during a match, you would include in here. You must make it in copy/paste form including the names of the commentators for the card.
~ 11. SPOTS ~
Spots are HUGE in a strat. Spots are used for you to get your wrestler to do specific actions. As usual you use the commentator's names, and make sure the writer can copy/paste it onto the match. You may have as many as 5 spots.
~ 12. OOC Statements ~
And finally, comments go here. Tell the writer if you think you should win or lose, any extra comments... whatever.
