A central feature of the WCBN is utilizing "Wager Tickets" to place bets on fights! This will be a guide into how you use them.

1- Buy a Wager Ticket
Available in the Shop for Fight Money (ex: 100 FM per ticket)
Each ticket = one bet on a match
Limit: 3 active bets per week (to prevent hoarding)

2- Find an exhibition or CARD Post with Betting Enabled
CARD type: Exhibition or Tournament Set


Post this in the comments with the following format

I place 1 Wager Ticket on PLAYER X to win.
Total FM Risked: 100 FM
Bet Closes at Match Start

Mods/admins lock the thread or replies when the event goes live
VOD or live stream must be provided (CARD verification method)
Results Posted in "Champion Archive" or elsewhere

Staff/member posts the outcome

Winners receive payout FM (from system or betting pool)
Losers lose their FM (tickets are used)

  M.E.T.E.R. GUIDE – West Coast Battle Network


Welcome to M.E.T.E.R. on the WCBN! This system combines:
- Matchmaking
- Encounters
- Tournaments
- Exhibitions
- Requests

All in one place, so you can post or accept any type of open challenge or community call-to-action, called a Meter Card.

--------------------------------------------
1. WHAT IS A METER CARD?
--------------------------------------------
- A single "card" that represents:
  - A help request (e.g., "Looking for combo advice!")
  - A bounty or challenge("First to 5 wins for 50 Fight Money")
  - A tournament sign-up (mini bracket, bigger event)
  - A showmatch or exhibition (like a FT10 grudge match)
  - Any community request (video editing help, volunteering, etc.)

Think of a Meter Card like a posted "quest"—everyone sees it and can comment or claim it.

--------------------------------------------
2. HOW DO I CREATE A METER CARD?
--------------------------------------------
1. **Click "Create New Meter Card"** in the M.E.T.E.R. section.
2. **Choose a Category**: Matchmaking, Encounters, Tournaments, Exhibitions, or Requests.
3. **Fill in Details**: Title, description, reward (if any), deadline, proof method.
4. **Post** to share with everyone!

--------------------------------------------
3. HOW DO I RESPOND TO A CARD?
--------------------------------------------
1. **Browse** the open cards in M.E.T.E.R.
2. **Comment** on the one you want to tackle.
3. Coordinate with the poster (schedule match, discuss logistics, etc.).
4. **Complete** the card (show your proof, share a replay, or have a mod confirm).
5. Reward (if offered) is then **transferred** (e.g., Fight Money, achievement, or badge).

--------------------------------------------
4. WHERE DOES FIGHT MONEY FIT IN?
--------------------------------------------
- If a Card offers a **Fight Money** reward, the poster (or an admin) handles giving you that currency once the card is complete.
- **Earn** Fight Money from M.E.T.E.R. Cards, tournaments, or community tasks.
- **Spend** it in the WCBN Shop on badges, icons, name colors, or exclusive perks.

--------------------------------------------
5. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
--------------------------------------------
- **One-Stop Hub** for challenges, help requests, tournaments, and collabs.
- **Earn Rewards**: Fight Money, achievements, bragging rights.
- **Grow the Community**: More people see your post, so you'll find partners or accomplish tasks faster.
- **Build Your Reputation**: Successful completions can earn you achievements or special status in WCBN.

--------------------------------------------
6. TIPS FOR SUCCESS
--------------------------------------------
- **Be Specific**: When posting a Card, include clear instructions, rewards, and deadlines.
- **Communicate**: Use the card's comment thread to arrange times or share proof.
- **Moderation**: If issues arise, tag a mod or admin for help.
- **Have Fun!** M.E.T.E.R. is meant to spark more matches, bigger events, and cool projects in the FGC!

They introduced Mai in SF6!! I think her gameplay looks unique, especially her fan buff system. I think I'd be interested in trying her out in Tournaments!
