The NWL
Organization
Hello Twinks,

The NWL is a community founded channel where we broadcast live competitive and friendly Warsong Gulch and Arena games with professional level commentary to provide our community and more to be able to feel like they are involved with the gameplay and get to know the players capabilities through our thorough and analytical live stream. We pride ourselves on being able to achieve the best possible viewing experience for our audience whilst enticing new players to join the XP off community and playstyle.
Our whole organization is solely community driven and our volunteers have made exceptional progress to make our broadcasts what they are today. The NWL does its best to be engaged with the community and give the members of the community a platform to display their ability.
We are very passionate about who we are and what we do and we use our passion to motivate us in pursuing our main goal; to legitimize the playstyle in the eyes of the general wow public.

With that being said, let's get down to the nitty gritty stuff!
The following Dates & Times are when the events will take place:
Sign Ups Close at 3PM EST on the 20th of August!!!
TheNWL:
All games that are taking place in the 39 3 vs 3 will take place on the following stream link. See the Challonge page to find out what game is coming up next!
There will be a 250,000 WOW gold to the winning team Bleeding Hollow horde or alliance. Can be split 3 way or to the leader depending what the team decides.
Arena
There is 8 slots available in the 3v3 arena tournament. First come first served from teams signed up using the proper sign-up format listed below. If edited your post will count from the date of which it was edited, this is to stop people from reserving threads for team slots.
Every team must be comprised of a 3 players, of which one person is the respectable Team Captain. The Team Captain is the person who is in charge of the team, the person who the team members believe owns/manages the team.
Failure to sign up your team with the format that has been asked of you will result in your teams sign up to not be verified and thus your team will not be signed up. Please make sure that all required information is posted in your team sign-up post.
YOUR ARENA SIGN-UP MUST USE THE FOLLOWING FORMATS:
How to sign up:
People will need to have their roster up 1 day prior to the tourney.
They have to also have each name/class/spec/realm of the players that are participating. On top of that i'd appreciate if the name of each player can have their armory hyper linked to their characters armory.
Once the tourney is one day away from happening, you're not even allowed to change you're specs. Also a team leader needs to be appointed, team names are allowed.
EXAMPLE:
ABLE TO COMPETE
I will add everyone who puts their teams on the forums in the seeding, but the teams that don't have the right information. I will put a note in red saying what they need to fix to be able to compete in the games. Green writing meaning, (Able to compete) and Red writing meaning, (Not able to compete until the following is amended.)
Just so the people that haven't meet the requirements with their details has the chance to be able to fix until its to late.
Arena
The platform that we will be using to organize and manage the competing teams in the arena section of the tournament will be Challonge(link).
The tournament will be using DOUBLE ELIMINATION FORMAT.
Finals Games will be two best of 5 series. (If the winners lose the first round)
General Rules
I expect for all players that are participating to know the bloody rules. Coz if broken, you'll automatically lose that round.
On the day of the tournament, i will be going over the rules with the team leaders in curse before the tourney starts. You'll have to be on 30 mins prior to the start time of the tournament. Which is 2:30pm EST SHARP!!! The rules will be streamed for anyone else you wants to watch/listen to them.
Arena
General Rules:
The definition of a 'Jump' is as followed:
"Using the jump function (Default keybind: Spacebar) twice or more consecutively and/or in a sequence in an attempt to access a different location on the map to gain a tactical, advantageous position over the enemy team."
and/or
"Using invisible ledges combined with the jump function to access a different location on the map than where the individual was before the use of the first jump."
There are going to be numerous levels of severity when it comes to punishment when breaking the rules. The punishments will be split into three levels of severity. If a punishment of the same nature occurs three times throughout the course of the tournament, the next level of punishment will be awarded. This is based around the universally known “Three Strikes” rule.
Game Loss
Minor: If any individual does anything that is considered illegal that does not/did not have any direct impact on the direction, flow or result of the game will be given a warning. A warning is merely a slap on the wrist, however if a team collectively throughout the whole duration of the tournament gets THREE warnings it will result in a loss of the next available game to the team. Repeatedly offending at the warning level of severity will result in the tournament hosts to decide a sufficient punishment.
Major: If any individual does anything that is considered illegal that has a direct impact on the direction or result of the game will instantly lose that specific game regardless of the actual victor. If a team happens to get THREE"Major" punishments collectively throughout the course of the tournament it will result in instant removal from the tournament. In the game where the final major offense has been committed, players will be expected to play out the rest of the game as normal.
Disqualification
If an individual, team or anyone with direct association to a team (i.e someone on the roster, whether they are in the game or not) performs an action that has an extreme effect on a game and it’s outcome will be punished by disqualification from the tournament. Things on this level of severity are things as follows:

The Arena section of the tournament will not have a time schedule as it is very unpredictable how longs games will last and which teams will face whom. This whole tournament will be broadcasted from The NWL's main stream and each game will be played consecutively. Please ensure that all teams participating are ready to be asked to play on demand.
Teams will need to sign up in this thread in order to participate to play.
We at the NWL withhold the right to edit, change or remove any of the content in this post in a retroactive manner on the day and/or prior to the 39 3 vs 3 FORCEFUL CUP and also make judgmental decisions regarding ruling of how we perceive it to be deemed necessary.

General Rules
- Any form of abuse towards the hosts, commentators or any of the authority will not be tolerated. It is each player's job to be able to communicate with respect and to be as cooperative as possible. This is deemed NWL etiquette and an individual or a team may receive cautions or any of the league's punishments depend on the severity of the abuse.
- In the situation where a player on a team happens to get disconnected and unable to rejoin the game or "DDoS'D", each team is allowed to request a replay of that game ONCE per series. To be eligible for a replay the gates must not have opened as when the gates are open the game is considered underway and thus is not eligible to be restarted. If your team is in doubt that a final/number of players will be ready to play upon the opening of the gates then your team must initiate leaving the game before the gates open. If using your replay in this instance requires that more than one consecutive “leave and requeue” is necessary to have both teams inside the game with 3 people on each team that is permitted.
- Any behavior that would be considered strange, mechanically manipulative, or non-objective oriented is not permitted and may result in a penalty.
- Deadly Boss Mods addon is NOT allowed.
- No software violating Blizzard’s ToS is permitted.
- Anyone can play any character on any account, as long as they are signed up on your roster. When you sign players up to your roster you are signing the player up and not just the character.
- Combat bugging is not allowed. (With in relative reason)
- At the time of the games, each team's leader will need to have me on their battletag so we can request games! Unless I get someone to stream the games everyone will need to add that person.
- All 3 players on the team has to choose a class/spec and stick to it, for the whole tournament. So you have to work with what you got.
- When you're game starts, you're team only has a 3 minute rest in-between games before you're team HAS to be ready to que again. If not ready by 3 mins, you automatically lose that match against that team. (Each team only gets one exception to 15 mins but after that, its the same as previously mentioned.) - If it is a que bug, no one will get penalized.
I expect for all players that are participating to know the bloody rules. Coz if broken, you'll automatically lose that round.
On the day of the tournament, i will be going over the rules with the team leaders in curse before the tourney starts. You'll have to be on 30 mins prior to the start time of the tournament. Which is 2:30pm EST SHARP!!! The rules will be streamed for anyone else you wants to watch/listen to them.
Arena

- Toys, any items in bags or anything other than Healthstones, Bandages and Battle Standards are BANNED.
- The format must be comprised of at least 1 healer and any dps or hybrid is allowed to go with the healer.
- You cannot change specializations during the tournament.
- Once you're team signs up with a composition they cannot switch at any point during the tournament.

If an individual, team or anyone with direct association to a team (i.e someone on the roster, whether they are in the game or not) performs an action that has an extreme effect on a game and it’s outcome will be punished by disqualification from the tournament. Things on this level of severity are things as follows:
- Using game mechanics in a way that was unintended to be used in such a way, such as gaining a competitive advantage in the battleground i.e. Destroying one's Hearthstone and using the "Stuck" feature to be able to choose where you wish to body resurrect.

- DDoS attacks or any form of harassment that can cause a player to not be able to take part in the game commencing.
- Absolutely anything that breaks Activision Blizzard Entertainment's Terms of Service
