With the final stages of testing near completion for the full, rewards enabled Wrestling Organization Online game, we’ve cooked up a red hot event to complement it. The Summer of WOO starts on June 21 and will run for the full length of the season (three months). You can join our Summer of WOO Kickoff event with Perry Saturn and Justin Credible by joining the at https://discord.gg/woogame

☀️ TL;DR overview:

• Dozens of contests with at least 1,500 HIVE up for grabs
• Bonus prizing of another 1,500 HIVE
• Splinterlands partnership: new users can buy Booker’s Licenses with SPS or DEC to earn WOO rare and common starter decks. We will also burn 100% of the SPS and DEC.
• Speaking of burning, expect some big WOO token bonfires 🔥
• Enter WOO raffles for a chance to win exclusive signed wrestler partner memorabilia, NFTs, WOO tokens, and other awesome stuff!

Most contests will be based around playing the game and entering matches in the WOO auto-battler. If you haven’t created a collection yet, be sure to read about the starter deck promotion below.

🎁 The Match Contests: thousands of HIVE in prizes

We will run three massive match leaderboard contests, one for each month of summer. The baseline $HIVE prizes are 500 for each, with over 1,500 $HIVE in extra potential bonus prizes.

To enter, just play matches in the game. We will have prizes for those who played the most and won the most matches. Leaderboard updates will shared multiple times per week in our Discord and as Hive posts. More details to come. (Those of you who participated in the 'pre-season' already have a good idea of how this will work.)

🐉 Splinterlands partnership

We have 200 ‘starter sets’ consisting of WOO Wrestler NFTs. New players can spend $10USD worth of SPS or DEC to buy a Booker’s License (similar to the Splinterland Spellbook). If they do, they will be eligible to receive one of these starter sets as long as supplies last. The SPS/DEC will be 100% burned. 🔥

To redeem a starter set, users should create a support ticket in our Discord server with their Hive username.

We will start with 50 rare starter sets, consisting of the following NFTs

• TITAN (male)
• Arty Wright (male)
• Akemi Ishii (female)
• Ivanka Semenov (female)
• Brothers in Arms (tag team)
• 💪 Muskh Sheik (rare tag team)
• 💪💪 A WOOALPHA pack (5 more random NFTs)

When those run out, we will give out 150 common starter sets, which contain:

• Arty Wright (male)
• Ryker Voight (male)
• Abby Rhodes (female)
• Akemi Ishii (female)
• Hinterland Hunters (tag team)
• Fontona Family (tag team)

Remember, steps to claim:

• Purchase a Booker’s License with SPS or DEC here.
• Join the WOO Discord and create a support ticket
• Tell us your Hive username and let us know you’re looking for a starter set

We will make a post on Hive and an announcement in Discord if we run out of starter sets!

🔥 Summer of WOO bonfires

On top of burning SPS and DEC, we’ll also be throwing $WOO itself into the burn pile. No action required from anyone here—just sit back and enjoy the warm glow.

We are also excited to announce you will be able to buy WOO Land Packs with the $WOO token for the duration of this event. All WOOPARTSUN Land Packs that remain at the end of the Summer of WOO will be BURNED! That's right, this is your last chance to buy WOO Land packs before they are gone forever, and your first chance to spend your $WOO on those packs!

🎟 The Return of WOO Raffles

Longtime WOO fans will recall when we raffled off a ticket to WrestleMania 2023 as well as an ultra-rare 1 of 4 gold belt Sonny Onoo NFT. We’re bringing back the raffle system for The Summer of WOO, and you can find it in its new home:

https://play.wrestlingorganizationonline.com/raffles

It’s dead simple: buy raffle tickets with $WOO, and hope ya win! You can keep track of the draw time and total tickets purchased on each raffle’s page. Proceeds from these events may or may not be used to fuel our bonfires ;)

Raffle prizes over the next three months may include and are not limited to:

• Physical wrestling memorabilia, signed by some of our legendary IRL partners
• TBD: Digital partner prizes, like a custom shout out video from a real-life legend
• $WOO tokens themselves (50/50 draws)
• WOO assets (packs, NFTs, land!)

👀 Keep an eye out for claimable rewards

And while you bask in the glory of the summer months, WOO expects to finalize the last piece of its base-game puzzle: claimable rewards. For months now, players and land owners have been earning $WOO from matches, but it’s been locked in-game as we ensure that there are no bugs threatening a smooth claiming process. We’re nearly at the finish line and ready to elevate WOO to its next stage—it’s going to be an exciting time!
