It's an ongoing e-pop contest influenced heavily by pro wrestling. Users compete in matches for a variety of titles and tournaments, and voters pick the winners! There are plenty of gimmick matches and such to spice up the format, as well.
What do I need to do?
You don't HAVE to do anything, but participants are heavily encouraged to at least vote on UCA cards. It's more fun for everybody the more people get involved, though, so you're also encouraged to cut promos, start storylines, form alliances and tag teams, and talk smack in the topics.
So there are no requirements at all?
Almost. Three times a year, there's a roster purge period. If you don't vote during any of the 10 shows in that time frame, you're in danger of being purged from the roster! We're in the middle of such a period now, but I'm not going to purge any new signups, so you're set for four months or so. Even if you do purge (or just decide to quit) doors are pretty much always open to come back later!
What's the schedule like? How long until this crashes and burns?
There are three "TV" shows a week- Wednesday Night Ruin (posted late Tuesday nights), Wednesday Night COMBAT, (late Tuesdays) and Friday night Eruption. (late Thursdays) In addition, we have a more important "PPV" show every three weeks, posted late Saturday nights. (Shows are named after when voting ENDS, rather than when it begins.) We are not always the best about sticking exactly to schedule and sometimes have to have cop-outs like double cards, but UCA has outright missed only a handful of shows in its almost three-year history.
How often will I fight?
The idea is that everybody gets at least one match a week, and we rarely mess that up. The more successful and active users will tend to get more matches.
Who's in charge?
I'm running the show at the moment, and have been for over two years. XIII is the GM of Ruin, and I have some admin help from a variety of volunteers. The project was initially founded by Icehawk, and taken over by JaKyL before eventually passing on to me.
What's the structure like?
There are three "divisions" for singles wrestlers- Heavyweight, Middleweight, and Lightweight. It's a loose sorting- people change divisions rather frequently, especially since I try to keep them roughly balanced in numbers. You'll fight people MOSTLY in your own division, but not always. There's also a (THRIVING) tag team division that needs some fresh blood...and it's not mutually exclusive with a singles career, either. If you sign up, I'll figure out somewhere for you to go after I give you a match or three.
There’s also a recently implemented BRAND SPLIT, whereby each participant will belong to either Ruin or COMBAT. Ruin and COMBAT will be exclusive to wrestlers from, well, Ruin and COMBAT, while Eruption and PPV’s remain all-inclusive. Each brand has its own titles- both brands have versions of the HW and MW titles, and COMBAT has MELEE MAYHEM while Ruin has the LW title. Tag titles (and Jesterdom) are crossbrand, and the tag champs may appear on both brands until they lose the belts.
How about rankings?
There's a rubric for rankings within a division. Rankings aren't all THAT meaningful, but basically, if you beat somebody above you, you move to the position above them. If you tie them, you move to the spot below, and if you lose, nothing happens. You can't move out of your division this way, so if you beat somebody in a higher class than you, you just become #1 in your own. Battle Royals and some other gimmicky matches don't impact rankings. You can see the current roster and rankings in the master file linked at the top.
How do I join?
Just say so, here or in the main UCA topic. We're always taking new people.

Nick (Football, Not Whiskey) will always be my mortal enemy who i don't have a real feud with because he's much more e popular than me and that wouldn't be fun.

I would really super appreciate some votal help for LL. I want to have decently quick turnaround between days, ideally keeping everything close to on track, and don't really want to spend my con counting a bunch of tag matches >_>

ONLY FIVE CAN LADDER. Sushi, kamikaze, fujiyama, nippon-ichi...
To be clear here are the rules which were already posted
Lethal Ironman Match
-Match takes place over all three days of Lethal Lottery -You may vote once per day -First to 10 votes wins the fall -Any "leftover" falls carry through to the next day, so for example if eaed was winning a fall 7-0 and the day ended, he would start the next day winning 7-0 in that fall.
nobody actually asked me to PM them and besides I spent literally two hours last night playing touhou nonstop and went straight to bed after and completely forgot
'whoops'
also live draw would be nice but I'm on the way out the door for breakfast so uh
Someone else needs to total this one, I won't be able to. (well, I could, but I'd have to stop everything else I'm doing today and that's not happening)
