Chilean Ring Design

I’m seen that many people are sending their own Ring Design, so I’m sending the ring design of most players in Chile, mainly in Santiago and Viña del Mar.

This is a very simple Ring Design, so here we go.

- Pre-Match: On the left corner, on the front row. Some people put the Prematch in front of the Arsenal and the Superstar Card and Backstage Area where are the Pre-Match on the Pic. Those Pre-Match only leave the titles of the cards in sight, unless they have Damage like “For the Love of the Game” where those cards comes to the Ring Area 1.

- Mid-Match: These cards can go separately or underneath the Pre-Match. If some of the have effects during the game, like “Sustained Damage”, they are placed in front of the rest. If some Mid-Match have Damage, like “This Is Just The Beggining”, then it is placed in Ring Area 1 where the Damage and the horizontal position from being a Mid-Match are visible.

- Ring Area 1: Here come all the cards that have Damage. They are placed next to the other, covering to the previous one and leaving only the Damage visible, the name it’s unnecessary. If some card has an effect during the game, like “TB Judo Choke”, it’s put separated from the rest, or by over the other cards or in a row aside.

- Ring Area 2: On this row comes all those cards you play during the game that don’t have Damage or effect during the game. It doesn’t matter if they are not visible. This way you will save game space. If you have any card with effect, but without Damage, like “Enter the Stratus-phere”, they can be put over the others cards, or in a different row.

- Arsenal: Easy, here’s where you put your Arsenal.It’s on the right side of the Ring because most of player are right-handed.

- Ringside Pile: It’s at the right of the Arsenal for a simple reason: most players are right-handed, so when you have to overturn you do it to the right, and it’s very far from the rest of the cards. Arsenal cards and Backlash deck cards are on the same Ringside, and they can be different placing them in its respective positions (horizontal or vertical).

- Superstar Card: It’s put in front of the Arsenal, this way you can remember some abilities, like “Kane” or “Rock”. Behind of the Superstar Card you can put the hidden Backstage Area cards.

- Backstage Area: The non-hidden Backstage Area cards are at the side of the Superstar cards. They can be put behind the Superstar card, if the titles are visible.

- Removed Cards: Most of the players worry about his cards keeping them in metallic boxes or Deck Box. Keeping them open and visible to all the players could be a very good option to put the cards that has been removed from the game, at least that’s the system we use in Chile.

Well, this is our Ring Design, it measures 40 centimeters or 16 inches approximately, less than the width of the shoulders of an average person. I hope this work for somebody, I know it’s hard to change the personal Ring Design.
