Dirt sheets have Mania and the shows leading up to it being taped this week.

Obviously what they tape and what they air can always change but I think with potential spoilers coming out we might need to adjust things.

Im not against a roster freeze and score whatever comes out mainly because I dont think I will build the lead on Farn that I need to before his massive point potential at mania.

I emailed GO about this earlier today. This is a total mess. Smackdown has already taped the next 2 shows. That could leak at any time. Raw tapes the next 2 days. WM tapes later this week. No way we make it through it all with no spoilers.

He mentioned maybe just letting the full roster score points with no starting lineups. No way to be able to switch lineups weekly once stuff leaks. So basically you get all 8 guys scoring through WM.

I'll leave it up to the group to decide because I'm probably at an advantage under that rule. I'm honestly open to anything. One thing I would suggest is putting league on hiatus after Wrestlemania until things are back to normal. The shows aren't the same and I'm sure they'll be pretaped for a long time.

I subscribe to PW insider and while I have not seen any evidence of spoilers yet for the taped shows I think it's probably a good idea to do a roster freeze but maybe give people time until 7:59 p.m. Monday evening to make any changes they need for Wrestlemania as I know there are people with guys on their roster who they're only going to start for Wrestlemania, John Cena for example.

Well that makes sense but I'd want to start Cena and Taker for WM but I have no idea who on my roster ends up with a match at WM. Maybe Daniel Bryan or Ziggler does. No way to know until those shows air.

My thought was no starting lineups... all players score on your roster. Also, I'd say only let the final two teams do a weekly move and anyone added from now on can't be kept.

Just play through Mania i guess and definitely taking a break until full shows start.

@farn - thats understandable and makes sense generally, but for this season specifically I really think its settled between us though.

I would need Roman, Drew, Shayna, Taker, Cena, Seth and maybe Bryan to ALL lose at Tapeamania, and thats even IF andrade Gets on the card.

That said whatever the group decides is best for the finish and continuation of the league. IF we do just one frozen lineup I would ask for the transaction limit to be disregarded and the round ending waiver deadline put in for Monday also.

Now that I think about it the idea that GO and Farn are talking about does seem to make the most sense, allowing all 8 positions to account for your scoring.

How about you guys do waivers on whoever you want... they clear 6 PM tonight RAW -- and you guys have those 8 people started for the remainder of whatever this mess.

Everyone else will stay out of it.

It probably won't matter, but either #1 anyone you add can't be kept OR #2 option your keepers are chosen from you lineup as they are right now.

I'm fine with most anything but I will admit I don't love the "pick up as many guys as you want" thing. If I understand it right you could just turn over your roster and grab a bunch on waivers.

But whatever the league wants is fine. My team is pretty well set unless I make 1 move.

Alright, feel like a local mayor at the podium of a townhall...


"Coronapocalypse Rules"

One waiver claim each today for the 2 championship teams, 7 PM processing (24 hour waived)
Any player added tonight cannot be a keeper (because others don't have the same try to claim)
Any player you drop will also not be eligible to be kept
All 8 players will score til seasons end, no lineup decisions
All other teams are frozen from add/drops
League is freezing until regularly attended shows start again

I think that covers us...

Any idea on how to handle the split nights and possible main event points? They may treat the last match each night as a main event.

I think main event points should go to The closer on both shows as well.
