I this just a lighter version of the Championship or are there special rules? It seems that it is, but Smack Down seems to ring of something more....

Oh you will get smacked down, no doubt about it!

Consider it nothing more than a warm up event for the big event the next day.

No special rules, just less points and no advancing.

In years past, many players (including myself) would use the evening win-a-waves as pre Friday tune-ups. We don’t have the win-a-waves this year. We purposely created and positioned this event to fill that need. Apparently players wanted it since it filled up so fast.

those win a waves where the coolest, I will miss those a lot!
