Announcement

**THE PUSHER** · 04-21-2004, 02:53 PM

I. League Conduct Rules

1.01 When in any Trench Wars League arena during an official game, you must obey and respect the attending game referee and League Operators.

1.02 If the attending game referee feels abuse or harassment is being given to the players in the game (either by private message or team message) by a player who is not playing in the game, that player may be silenced. Furthermore that player will be reported to the League Operators who may take further action (see rule 1.07).

1.03 Deliberate attempts to disrupt game play may result in that player being silenced or kicked from the arena by the referee. As well, the player will be reported to the League Operators who may take further action (see rule 1.07).

1.04 Trench Wars Leagues referees are taken directly from the Trench Wars Staff. They are valued members of the Trench Wars community and without their support, the leagues would not be able to go on. As such they deserve added respect from players. If anyone is caught harassing the referee during a game (note rule 1.05), the referee reserves the right to silence the player in question and that player will be reported to the League Operators and dealt with severely.

1.05 If the referee is abusing his powers or taking excessive measures against players, players may report this to the League Operators who will then take further action if sufficient proof is obtained.

1.06 Any staff member who abuses their power during an official match will be reported to the League Operators who will then let the Trench Wars Staff Smods deal with the problem. Please note that instances where moderators accidentally type in blue during a complete blueout do not count as abuse (unless done repeatedly and purposefully).

1.07 Any excessive abuse of the League Conduct Rules during a match will result in a two-week suspension from league play. Repeat game conduct offenses may result in a ban from Trench Wars League for as long as the League Operators feel is sufficient.

II. Trench Wars League Structure

2.01 Trench Wars Leagues is composed of three separate league divisions, Trench Wars League - Dueling (TWLD) which features 5on5 Warbirds, Trench Wars League - Javelin (TWLJ) which features 5on5 Javelins, and Trench Wars League - Basing (TWLB) which features 8on8 basing.

2.02 All playoff Squads that participated in the previous Trench Wars Leagues season will be granted automatic admission to play in this season. At a date to be later disclosed by the League Operators, the highest-ranking TWD Squads in each division will fill the remaining TWL spots of that division. Squads that dissolved at any time during the previous season, or prior to the new season's start, will have to re-enter Trench Wars Leagues through the TWD system. Squads that intend to return must also retain at least 50% of their roster from the previous season to remain seeded in TWL.

2.03 In order for a TWD Squad to qualify for TWL consideration, that Squad must meet all Trench Wars Leagues requirements. In addition, the Squad must have played a minimum of 15 matches in the specific division (Basing, Dueling, Javelins) they are attempting to qualify for. Squads that have not met the minimum 15 games played requirement will not be considered for Trench Wars Leagues qualification.

2.04 Any Squad that misses any two regular season games for any particular league division will be dropped from that league division.

2.05 If any Squad drops out during the middle of a season for any reason, it will be replaced by the highest ranking team on the Trench Wars Division (www.twdivisions.org) ladder which is currently not in that division of Trench Wars Leagues and wishes to join. Replacement Squads who join before the season begins will be considered full Squads in Trench Wars Leagues. Replacement Squads that join during a season in progress will start out with a record of (0-x) [wins-losses], with the x representing the number of rounds that have already occurred. TWLD/TWLJ teams will receive a score of 20-50 for each missed game, and TWLB teams will receive a score of 0:00-15:00 for each missed game (for purposes of +/- ranking). Because it is important that the league is not held up, replacement Squads must respond to the invitation as soon as possible or else the next best Squad will be asked and so on. These TWD teams need at least 15 games played in their respective TWD division to qualify.

2.06 All Trench Wars Leagues divisions will have a full regular season and will feature single-elimination playoffs. The exact structures for these will be determined by the number of participating Squads in Trench Wars Leagues, which will be determined by demand and competitiveness by the League Operators.

2.07 If any Squad merges with another before the start of the next season, they must at least retain 50% of their roster from the previous season. If they do not meet this requirement, the Squad will need to re-qualify for Trench Wars Leagues through the TWD System.

III. Multiple Squad Membership and Cheating

Note: Assistant captains are considered players on the Squad, and not as co-captains for purposes of cheating. Because captains and co-captains (which are both marked off as 'captains' on the rosters) are expected to be more responsible, their punishment will be harsher and will result in direct punishment for their Squads. Multiple Squad membership, or double-squadding, is defined as one of the following cases:

a) A player that is rostered with two different participating Squads of Trench Wars League.
b) A player that is rostered in a participating Trench Wars League Squad and a different Trench Wars Division Squad even if the Squads play in different league divisions.
c) A player that is rostered more than one time on the same Trench Wars League Squad.
d) A player that is rostered in a Trench Wars League Squad allowing another player to use their name to play in a League match.
e) A player that is rostered in a Trench Wars League Squad using another player’s names to play in a League Match.

Instances of double-squadding will not be tolerated. If a player has someone else who uses their computer for TWL (i.e. a sibling), those players are expected to notify the Trench Wars League staff prior to participating in any League matches.

3.01 Double-squadding for Players: Any player found to be joined to either two Trench Wars Leagues Squads or a Trench Wars Leagues and a Trench Wars Divisions Squad, will be subject to suspension from Trench Wars Leagues for the remainder of the season. If they played in any games the week of discovery, the Squad that had the double-squadder will forfeit those games.

3.02 Double-squadding for Squad Captains and Co-Captains: Any Squad captain or co-captain found to be joined to either two Trench Wars Leagues Squads or a Trench Wars Leagues and a Trench Wars Divisions Squad, will be subject to:
a) Suspension from Trench Wars Leagues for the remainder of the season.
b) A forfeit of all matches played in for the week the offense was discovered for the Squad(s) which the offending player was a captain or co-captain of regardless of participation in those particular games.
c) Removal of the Squad(s) from Trench Wars League participation for the Squad(s) of which the offending player was a captain or co-captain of. The other members and co-captain(s) of the Squad may appeal this decision and it will be decided by the League Operators, at which point a new captain may be approved.

3.03 Any Squad member found to be guilty of cheating to alter game play and to create an unfair advantage, will be subject to:
a) Permanent suspension from Trench Wars Leagues participation.
b) Forfeit of all Squad matches played in the week the offense was discovered of which the player participated in.
c) Referral to League Operators and Trench Wars Moderators for immediate punishment including being banned from Trench Wars.

3.04 Any Squad Captain or Co-Captain found to be guilty of cheating to alter game play and to create an unfair advantage, will be subject to:
a) Permanent suspension from Trench Wars Leagues participation.
b) Forfeit of all Squad matches played in the week the offense was discovered for the Squad(s) of which the player was a captain or co-captain of regardless of participation in those particular games.
c) Removal of the Squad(s) from Trench Wars League participation for the Squad(s) of which the offending player was a captain or co-captain of. The other members and co-captain(s) of the Squad may appeal this decision and it will be decided by the League Operators, at which point a new captain may be approved.
d) Referral to League Operators and Trench Wars Moderators for immediate punishment including being banned from Trench Wars.

5.06 If there are postponements, players which were not originally eligible for the round before it was postponed will still not be eligible for the postponed round.

5.07 All Trench Wars League rosters will experience a soft lock at the start of Round 4 matches. This means that any players that de-roster from a Trench Wars League Squad will no longer be eligible to join another League Squad for the remainder of the season.

5.08 All Trench Wars League rosters will experience a hard lock at the start of Round 6 matches. This means that no roster additions or substitutions will be allowed after that point.

Further action may be taken in game by upper staff. Suspicion of cheating will be followed up and the consequences will be harsh.

8.13 If a player who lags out returns and immediately lags out before they can change to their frequency, this will not be deemed a lagout.
