## Discord Prediction Series

Discord Prediction Series (abbreviated **DPS**) is a pro-wrestling prediction server based on the Discord application. It was established on the 7th of December, 2017 by Redditor coolscorpion83 (currently known as Salty Scorpion on Discord) holding its first ever card for WWE's Clash Of Champions ten days later on December 17, 2017. DPS hosts all cards from WWE and AEW while hosting major cards from other wrestling promotions such as NJPW, ROH and PROGRESS and Impact Wrestling. DPS also has dedicated cards for all NXT TakeOver events.

Over the course of time, DPS has established three singles championships and one tag team championships along with multiple self-hosted prediction challenge events in the forms of DPS Finish Line (two day event held on 7-8 January 2019), DPS Empire State of Slam (two day event held on 5-6 April 2019), Switchblade's Summer Vacation (one day event held on August 10, 2019), DPS House of Triumph (one day event held on August 31, 2019). and DPS Imperial Games (longform tournament event). DPS also hosts various unique tournament, the primary one in the form of the Great Expedition (abbreviated as **GE**), which is a round robin tournament followed by knockout stages. Apart from the GE, DPS hosts other tournaments such as the New Japan Cup, the King Of Zing Memorial Battle Royale held annually at WrestleMania, Money in the Bank Ladder match and the Royal Rumble match. Every NXT Takeover also hosts an NXT Youngblood Battle Royale showcasing newer talent of DPS.

In 2020, DPS hosted its first ever interpromotional event as they partnered with New Age Wrestling (NAW) at DPS x NAW World War Discord. DPS now partners with NAW to do interpromotional events every NXT TakeOver. The Chalice of Champions is an interpromotional trophy exclusively defended at these events.

DPS began its Hall Of Fame after completing one year to honour competitors who made great contributions to the server. The first class was inducted in 2019, before WrestleMania 35. DPS also honours its members with the DPS Annual Prediction Awards for various different criteria, the first of which were held in 2019, announced before DPS Finish Line.

DPS employs Discord roles to separate members, groups and stables. A championship role grants the champion access to the exclusive #lounge-of-champions, while cards are posted on #official-cards, results on #official-results and predictions for the cards are made solely on #predictions. Kayfabe is kept on #open-kayfabe and other kayfabe channels. The server is currently moderated by Scorpion (founder), Icon, BenjaminEarl and Woah who are under the role @GLORIOUS MODS.
