lol thanks, I’m just very excited. Figured I should try and contribute.
What an elite group.
Listen here you lowdown, egg-sucking dogs, if it weren’t for me, Stevie Williams would still be roping longhorns in Texas. I may be too old to wrestle, but I ain’t too old to whip up some merch for Max.

Based on the results from my physical today, if I get in off the alternates list I think this fake fake wrestling avatar is more appropriate than I’d like…

Maybe you go with Nasty Nate Mortensen if we’re allowing fake wrestlers
i’m not even sure if he was supposed to be a wrestler or what tbh
I honest to goodness forgot that was him…these wrestlers are messing with my head…Hard enough meeting people IRL and keepin names and handles straight and putting voices with Avatars…now starting over.

The situation is still incredibly fluid as to numbers and format.
I do agree, it’ll serve as a good alternates list for the event.
spectators?
Top notch wrestling impersonations and a promise to help with merch? We don’t deserve you.
let’s see what Billy’s shoes look like with several months to prepare. it’s 50/50 whether I enjoy billy more or Billy’s girlfriend more.
J/k.
lol I have actually been thinking about other stuff I can try to make in preparation. 6 months is a long time to try and make some swag.
edit: and the answer is her. She’s better
There’s like 10 other public courses within 5 miles. If we end up with alternates there’s no reason the alternates couldn’t play at a nearby course in the afternoon and then come meet us at Rackham for the main event and the Derbys
Or even snag a morning tee time at rackham.

So with all the wrestling gifs and character choices, I’ve been thinking about this one a bit more and how to really capture the chaos of the Royal Rumble. I love the match play idea but I think it should be more of a blend of a derby style event and get more people involved. Start with 4 (or even 6) on the first tee.
Play the hole derby style. Lowest score is out (or over the top rope, if you will).

Then, on the next tee, a chairgui or someone else randomly pulls out a name of who joins in and announces them. No one knows who’s next up. Whoever is announced tees it up and joins in.
If multiple players tie for the high score - then both are out.

But then 2 (or however many were eliminated) players join back in on the next tee.
Keep kicking out low score each hole until the entire pool of players has teed off or we get to 18 holes, then keep eliminating until one player remains for the belt. And we would definitely need a title belt for this event.
Of course I defer to the chairguis @SpartanButters and @weirdfishes for their guidance and wisdom (and we can all laugh at this idea later when we move on to the next theme).

This is fucking brilliant!
I cannot believe it has taken this long (<1 day) to say this.

There’s a reason I wasn’t saying anything.

This has already been perfected, its a double elimination derby. Starting numbers are fluid. first derby always gets to number of holes remaining plus one player by hole two.
the losers bracket, or “wrestleback” get to a single player by the final hole, and is constantly fed new players from the first group. two men are left, and play until there is a winner.
