Anyone who happened to read the spoilers... first of all... not too many points to go around with only 2 (i think) actual matches not involving Cena...

How in the heck do you plan on scoring Cena's matches. 4 of them? is the number in question... using the same rationale as when they restarted the match on Raw with Kane/Beniot?

No contests + one pinfall?

I haven't read the spoilers, but I think that if Cena was in 4 matches, then he gets credit for the outcomes of each of them, win, lose, DQ or no contest. This isn't the first time something like this has come up - and been debated. When I have more time I'll look into what was argued and ultimately decided in the past.

from what i read it looks like cena gets credit for 3 draws and 1 win.

according to the spoilers, its a "3 man challenge" with 3 matches that have 5 minute timelimits - all of which wind up getting a draw (no contest?) then Angle starts the Dupree match again and Cena pins him there after an F-U.

Angle declares a Fatal Four Way with RVD/Booker/Cena/Dupree for the PPV.

I guess it will be important to see how it plays out on TV. Sometimes the written spoilers can be decieving. Especially when determing when the bells sound etc.

If it is 4 seperate matches, does a draw = no contest?

yeah, draw = no contest is how I was guessing the scoring would go.

and remember London is only in "the main event" if its actually called the main event Mr. Tree... (thats close to Mr.T - don't be a fool, eat my cereal) not just because its the last actual match.

I swear I heard London's entrance music somewhere else the other day... anone know who sings it or is it just a generic WWE song?

Sorry, Tree. No soup for you. Your starting lineup for Week 11 does not include London. You haven't changed it since Week 9, when your lineup was:

Chavo
Maven
Buh Buh
Basham
HBK
Nick "Eugene" Dinsmore

MITH - i was kidding,i hope you realize. but i figured since we've changed the lineup deadline so much, i could change it after smackdown spoilers came in. hehe

Fair enough, but I think want to change a few of my draft choices from back in Season 1 (and two seasons' worth of keepers).

sure glad I didn't choose Sean O'Haire as my last keeper... ugh. That almost happened. I am the Natural Born Thrillers afterall... maybe I should try to acquire Jindrak.

I wonder which people in this league won't look at this spoiler thread because they want the surpise and excitement that Smackdown offers to still be there this thursday night... I already see half the league posting in here.

They probably think something BIG is going down with a dozen posts here already.

I don't think anyone will ever expect something exciting on Smackdown. I wouldn't believe it even if I read the spoilers and there was a surprise. That show is beyond believing it will ever be exciting.

That said who is scoring it tomorrow night? Cause I won't be around and its not worth taping even to score.

Be careful with spoilers. They edit out matches...knowing Smackdown, they will have a bikini contest inserted, and only show one of the Cena matches

From rajah

"They put a quick match together with Mordecai and Paul London, it wasn’t scheduled, but writers panicked and just slapped a match together in literally minutes. The match was so bad we’re told it will not make the air."

And VKM says Smackdown is equal to Raw....what a joke

So from the Spoilers I read, it seems that Cena only has 3 matches. It seems like what Heyman does is add another 5 minutes onto the Dupree match.

As for the win "not counting", that is up to everyone else.

Smackdown is horrible. I'm glad I have an all Raw lineup.

like I said earlier... it really is gonna depend on how it plays out on TV. How they edit it and the interpretation of the spoiler writer may be two vastly different things.
