Subject: Site updates and card writers

Site is updated...win/loss, earnings, sound byte, etc. Note the change in cities from Shanghai to Beijing for the upcoming card.

And as far as cardwriters go. I'm not looking for traditional card writers as far as me saying "You write this match, end it this way, make sure so and so interferes"... but what I have said in the past for anyone who wants to help (and any help would be GREATLY appreciated) is for people just to write a couple paragraphs or more of just straight up action. (The parts of the matches coded in Silver) If I can just do the intros, beginnings, and endings of matches, after tying the submitted pieces together with everything, it would save me a great deal of time, as well as save me from having to be sure to tell the match writer everything that has to happen, there's a greater risk of things getting mixed up somewhere, because I'm obviously running a lot of things on one card at the same time.

So if someone were to just write up like a page...or even half to 3/4 of a page of just action (ie: Wrestler A nails Wrestler B with some stiff punches, then follows it up by whipping him into the ropes, and taking him down to the mat with a clothesline" etc) in MS Word or something, that I could just cut and paste into my results, it would save me a lot of time for the other stuff.

But I'm not going to make it mandatory...I've always believed that having full time match writers who are also wrestlers in the fed is a bad idea, and can sometime lead to conflict of interest. But if people are just submitting bits of action for random matches each week, that would be ok.

I've suggested it before, and have had a few people say they were interested in helping, but wanted to know which match to take...I don't really care what match you do it for, because 8 times out of 10 I'm going to need it for every match anyway unless it's angled...in which case I'd let people know I don't need anything for that. But if people work better when they're assigned something, contact me if you're interested in helping, and I'll give you a match or two to write part of.
