Official Pool Rules & Event Rulings

A pool must contain a minimum of two (2) active members to be considered valid and officially formed. Pools that fail to meet the minimum active member requirement are not eligible for rankings, championships, or rewards.

1. 01Scoring is performed live as events unfold.
2. 02Live scores are considered provisional until the event has concluded and all rulings have been finalized.
3. 03If any prediction, bonus question, or scoring situation requires additional review, interpretation, or verification, OverCast reserves the right to delay finalization of results.
4. 04A pool winner and champion will not be officially declared until all disputed rulings have been resolved.

For any prediction involving a wrestler bleeding:

To avoid confusion in prediction wording, OverCast uses the following definitions:

For any prediction involving whether something is “hit” (examples: Moves, Catch Phrases, Taunts, Emotes, etc.), a move (or otherwise) is only considered successfully hit if:

1. 01The move (or otherwise) is executed substantially as intended
2. 02The move (or otherwise) reaches completion
3. 03The move (or otherwise) is not interrupted, countered, reversed, or escaped before completion

For any prediction involving surprise appearances:

1. 01Has not appeared on regular televised programming for the respective promotion for at least two (2) months
2. 02Was officially considered inactive due to circumstances such as injury, release, retirement, suspension, or other absence from competition
3. 03Has never wrestled for the respective promotion before the event

• The appearance must directly affect or participate in a tangible aspect of the show
• The individual must physically enter the active event space (crossing the barricade, entering the stage area, ring area, backstage segment, etc.)

• Talent or celebrities shown in the audience
• Advertising vignettes
• Hall of Fame inductees appearing solely in that capacity
• Talent officially announced before the event

In the event that a scheduled wrestler, team, or participant is unable to compete and is replaced before the match begins, all picks will remain attached to the originally advertised side of the match.

For scoring purposes, a substitution does not invalidate or alter a user’s selection. If a participant is replaced, the replacement competitor inherits the position of the originally scheduled wrestler or team, and all related picks, predictions, and applicable bonus questions will be graded accordingly.

This ruling exists to preserve the intent of user selections and avoid penalizing players for last-minute changes outside of their control.

Only if both sides of the match are replaced or if the match is considered cancelled will the grading of points on that match cease.

OverCast reserves the right to interpret and rule on unusual situations, production errors, technical issues, unforeseen circumstances, or edge cases not explicitly addressed in these rules.
