Introduction:


Welcome to the Official Nineteens Wargaming League structure and rule thread

Schedule:


Tryouts will be the weekend of November 13th, it will consist of 5 10v10s. Each guild must play one 10v10, this is to ensure that all teams are capable of sporting a 10 man, this is 100% necessary for all teams if they wish to participate.

The Season begins November 14th

The first series will begin on the 22nd, games will be played on Saturdays and Sundays.


Format:

Every Guild must face each other in a three games series, were all three games must be played. The guild with the most wins will win the season. Guilds will be allowed an appropriate amount of time to do their series based on the amount of guilds that sign up. Guilds will work with The NWL to have all games streamed, spectated, and commentated.
​

Point System:


Points are awarded as follows: A Warsong Gulch victory is worth 3 points, in the case of a tie the last team to capture a flag will receive two points and the other team will receive one point
​

The Stream Dream:


The NWL aims to be the major point of exposure for twinks of all brackets in the times to come and we are building The NWL stream channel to be the tool we use to spearhead that effort, it does not matter if you are a 19 or even a twink, as long as you’re interested in helping the movement of the XP-Off play style than lending us your talents will help Twinking as a whole. That being said ALL donation via Twitch will be used to help develop Twinkinfo, and future events for the greater XP-Off community. So please guys, follow the strum ^.^!!!!


Class Comp Rules:

Warsong Gulch: 2 class limit, 2 stealth limit excluding guardian/restoration druids, 1 arms warrior limit, 1 bm monk limit, 1 MM hunter limit, no feral druids.

*any spec that has healing abilities that can be cast on their teammates counts as an off healer, not including warlocks' healthstones.

    [*=left]Players cannot use toys, guild banners, or any usable item that isn't equipped on their character except healthstones, soulstones, bandages, and the pvp battle standard

Need a limit between games, I feel this is important.

EDIT: And please enforce the rules on everyone, not just a few.
 
Re: The Nineteens Wargaming League - Registration, Rules, and Structure

Hoping to get all the input possible
 
Re: The Nineteens Wargaming League - Registration, Rules, and Structure

I'm extremely excited for this. Good work!

Is it only WSG

unfortunately. also i honestly think this needs less rules not more, part of the issue with these rules were how many vague rules we had. basically copy/pasting the twink cup rules and changing 2 things isnt going to cut it

also these rules need to be organized

Isn't August 14th a bit too soon?
 
Re: The Nineteens Wargaming League - Registration, Rules, and Structure

Just right off the bat, I notice the rule about arms warrior getting multiple procs doesn't specify with an example.

Crusader -> Ele force = ok? or no?

Crusader -> Icy = ok? or no?

etc etc.


The less room for interpretation there is on these rules, the better off we'll be.

Please rehash these to remove or mitigate this risk. If you want, I can jump into a CV call with you/myrm and I can help you guys assess the things you have and don't have. I tried as much as possible to do this during the TC, but maybe if we can get together and do it when it's not in the heat of the moment, we can be much more productive :)

I'm still not sure why this seems confusing. "Arms warriors arent allowed to swap weapons to get multiple enchant procs" seems pretty cut and dry to me. 'sader to ele force involves multiple enchants procing. 'sader to icy is the same. as is 'sader to 'sader.

I could see some clarification needed for someone swapping from 'sader to something like savagery because one doesn't involve a proc.

There was a discrepancy between your understanding (which is absolutely correct) and some players understanding as the rules were slightly different between the arena tourny and WSG tourny.

Again, it's not so much about the how it shouldn't be an issue, but the fact that it's a risk that it still might be unless we clarify completely.

Clarity = easier rule enforcement and less delays.
 
Re: The Nineteens Wargaming League - Registration, Rules, and Structure

I don't completely understand the whole floating mercenary idea. I say pick and team and play with them. Also, my problem with floating mercenaries is that they can throw games to favor other teams. Let's say that player A is a floating mercenary. He was affiliated with guild A before the tournament. He is playing in a series for team B, and they are fighting team C
The standings going into the series look something like this.
1. B
2. C
3. A

Player A could throw the game in Team C's favor, in order to pull his original team (team A) closer to team B. This would be even more of a problem if it was made possible to tie (which at the moment doesn't look like it will be possible, but could still cause problems if a team gets fewer points for an overtime win (IE if the points are split)). In that case, the player could try to play the game into a tie, so that his team gains on both the other teams.

Not saying the mercenaries would do that, but it could very easily happen. Just a warning :D

They could, but then they run the risk of become the JR Smith of the NWL. No one wants to be the JR Smith of 19 twinks do they?
 
Re: The Nineteens Wargaming League - Registration, Rules, and Structure

And run the risk of being thrown out of the Twink clique??? I doubt it.
All they need to do is play anonymously. I do. Many people do.
