DASH FOR THE GOLD MATCH

BACKGROUND:

The DASH FOR THE GOLD match originated in the Independent Pro Wrestling Association in 2008. It was first used in May in which the winner, the Black Dragon, won the right to challenge for any title he wanted. (He would eventually win the IPWA Television title in June.) The match was utilized again in July 2008 to crown a new IPWA Heavyweight champion ("Monster" Matt Dreez) when the former champion, Sheik Uday Muhammad, was stripped of the title when he suffered an injury and could not defend the title within a 30-day time period.

RULES:

* Six wrestlers start the match outside the ring.
* Utilizing the MULTI-MAN MATCHES rules established by "sunsetflip84" on the Official Filsinger Games Discussion Board, a reverse battle royal is held until there are 4 wrestlers inside the ring.
* When there are 4 wrestlers in the ring, the MULTI-MAN MATCHES rules will be used once again to wrestle a Fatal 4-Way Elimination match until there are 2 wrestlers left in the ring.
* When there are 2 wrestlers remaining in the ring, they will wrestle in a Texas Death match until one of them wins by a submission victory only. Pinfall/disqualification/count out victories do not count.

"sunsetflip84's" RULES FOR MULTI-MAN MATCHES:

For multiple-man contests (Triple Threat, Fatal 4-Way, battle royals, etc.), take all participants:

• Grab a handful of tokens.
• Roll initiative for each participant.
• Decide if you're using Basic or Fatigue PIN ratings.
• The wrestler with the lowest initiative rolls his PIN rating. If he rolls higher than his PIN rating, add 1 token to his PIN rating and move to the wrestler who had the next lowest initiative and roll his PIN rating. Repeat this process until you have rolled the PIN ratings for all of the participants. If any wrestler rolls their PIN rating or lower, he is eliminated. (For the reverse battle royal portion of the DASH FOR THE GOLD match, the first four wrestlers to roll higher than their PIN rating enter the ring.)
• Repeat until there are 2 wrestlers remaining in the ring and then proceed to wrestle the match normally until there is a winner.

  **NOTE** Wrestlers who have ringside managers may uses they as per the normal rules. (In the two DASH FOR THE GOLD matches held in the IPWA, none of the managers got involved in the match on behalf of their wrestlers, so it's up to your better discretion as to whether or not you want managerial involvement in your DASH FOR THE GOLD match.)

**RULES ADDENDUM**: If the last two wrestlers in the match have no submission moves listed on their card (including the finisher) and one of them rolls their PIN rating or lower, then roll on chart below may be used to determine what submission move followed the pinning move (if you want to substitute any submission move on this chart, feel free to do so):
