Bans:
***Note***
Players who refuse to play, attempt to force or block a trade, or are found to have lied about their show rate will be banned from this season and subject to further punishment depending on the situation. There is a zero tolerance policy in place for this.
Players are subjected to bans or other punishments, to be decided by league ops on a case-by-case, common sense basis. Some cases will absolutely not be tolerated or negotiated:
Trading names without notifying league ops or logging on someone else's name during a match is an auto-ban from participating in Trench Wars Cups for a minimum of (2) seasons.
Playing under an alias that is immune to proper alias checking while not providing your real alias. Overpowered players who abuse this will forfeit their opportunity to participate with a season long ban.
Threatening a captain prior to the draft of not showing or refusing to play for them after being picked will constitute an immediate warning. If the behavior continues, the player will be banned for a minimum of (2) seasons. Be an adult and soldier through for the sake of the community and your future in TW.
Appeals:
Every captain will have a maximum of two appeals per league throughout the regular season. Every playoff match will be eligible to be appealed.
Appeals must be submitted within 24 hours of the incident on the TW forums. A detailed account of the situation and the argument for the appeal should be provided in the thread. Failure to submit an appeal within 24 hours will deem the appeal invalid and the results of the game in question will be considered final.
The league op team will respond to appeals within 72 hours after the appeal was posted with a verdict and an explanation of their reasoning behind the decision.
If an appeal is granted, the game will be replayed at an agreed time that works for both teams involved. If the opposing team is unwilling to reschedule their match at a reasonable date, they will forfeit the replay.
(Note: If something unforeseen happens that isn't accounted for in the rules or has no precedence, league ops are responsible for coming up with a common sense, rational, and fair ruling on the situation.)
Emergency Scenarios:
In the unlikely event that something catastrophic or completely unforeseen happens that has the potential to ruin the season, the league operators will do their best to solve the issue with the best interest of the Trench Wars Cup season as a whole in mind. Captains will all be consulted and play a role in handling such a critical decision.
Playoffs:
The top 4 teams in each league will advance to the playoffs. The #1 seed will play against the #4 seed and the #2 seed will play against the #3 seed.
For purposes of tiebreakers we will use the teams head-to-head record. If teams are tied at 1-1, it will then go to K
ratio from head-to-head match ups. If teams are still tied, it will go to most kills in the division. If still tied after all tie breakers, it will go to a coin toss.
Playoffs Format is a best of 3 in Warbird, Javelin, and Basing. All warbird and javelin games are to 50, and all basing games are to 15 minutes.
Trades:
Trades will be allowed this season. Trades must be made before Friday 11:59PM EST of the given week. Trades will be allowed until week 3, February 23rd at 11:59 PM. Trades will be approved or denied by League Ops and League Staff not involved in the trade. Despite having no caps, lopsided trades will not be allowed, please use reason when making trades.
Free Agency:
NONE
KEY NOTES
- There will be NO STAR CAPS for these leagues.
- There will be NO BORROWING allowed for these leagues.
- Every player who signs up for this league WILL be selected.
- You have the option to sign up for 1 division, 2 divisions, or all 3 divisions.
- Aliasing will be allowed but every captain and player will know your main name for league parity.
- Players are encouraged to sign up SOONER rather than later so the league ops can accommodate accordingly and make any necessary league changes in a timely manner.
Updates to Come.
