    So, probably the biggest change is the TWL Invitation system. We think it will resolve a lot of the issues regarding the cutoff point and which squad is and is not invited to TWL, and also add a bit more excitement to the invitations process.

    Please note that the numbers may change based on activity and how many squads are competing to get into TWL. The numbers listed below reflect the general activity and competition level of TWD squads right now.

    Comments, constructive criticism, and discussion is welcome.

    II. Trench Wars League Structure

    2.02

    In order for a Trench Wars Division (www.twdivisions.org) squad to qualify for TWL consideration, that squad must meet all Trench Wars Leagues requirements as noted in Section V. There will be two rounds of TWL invitations: the Preliminary Round and TWD Cup.

    -The preliminary round of TWL invitations will include:
    a)
    The Finalists from the previous season who are guaranteed TWL positions for the division in which they competed.
    b)
    The top 5 ranked squads in each TWD division; not including the finalists.

    -The second round of TWL invitations is the TWD Cup:

    TWD Cup will ultimately decide which squad fills the final TWL position in each division. The squads that may participate in TWDC are:
    c)
    The next 8 highest-ranking squads on the TWJD and TWDD ladder, after the top 5 squads have been chosen in part (b).
    d)
    The next 4 highest-ranking squads on the TWBD ladder, after the top 5 squads have been chosen in part (b).

    2.04
    Trench Wars Division Cup is a wildcard tournament for the remaining TWL Invitation in each division.
    a) TWD cup will take place the weekend after the first round of invitations. The qualifying squads for TWDC must confirm their wish to participate in the cup to a TWL Op the Friday before TWDC.
    b) When the squads have confirmed their acceptance, they will be seeded 1st through 8th for TWJD and TWDD and 1st though 4th for TWBD based on their TWD position. The highest seed will play the lowest seed, the second highest seed will play the second lowest seed, and so on. Matches will be played single-elimination style.
    c) After the first round of TWDC is complete, the squads will be reseeded based on their original TWD position, and again the highest seed will play the lowest seed, the second highest seed play the second lowest seed, etc.
    d) Finals in each division are decided by a single match. After each match, the winners will be invited to compete in their respective TWL division as the 8th invited TWL squad.

        Many more updates will be coming about other aspects of TWL. I put this one up because it is probably the biggest change. Keep checking back for other updates later on

          I think i'm begining to believe that an 'Amateur' type division wouldn't be a bad idea, I'd just love to see 60-75 squads instead of the 35-40 we see now....can you imagine over 100? It would be nice...like I said before GO ADVERTISE...someone get us a link on Fark or some other huge sites. I've been spreading the word but I go to very few forums/with small pops.

            It kinda discourages people.
            As opposed to them being let in and dropping out after going 0-5. Then everyone complaining to staff about the number of teams dropping out like last season. :fear: We should let all of TWD in TWL on that argument. I got discouraged when $flabby$ didnt qualify, but it didn't make me quit, just want to become a better player.

            if Squads 1-5 auto and Squads 6- 13 squads in TWD have the chance of qualifcation though TWDC. Its not like squads 6-13 don't have the "chance" to qualify. If your "newbie" squad is good enough you should be able to win TWDC. If you cant win that, there no point you playing in TWL where the opposition will be stronger, you'll just get ownt. I think most people would rather see every TWL game as a competative one. Rather than the one sided affairs we saw on occasions last season...

              I totally agree with them..
              We are now complaining that bd squads has a too big roster, well when the 8 squads are qualified everyone, who can, will hop to one of them and so you will get only 8 squads with big rosters. So you will get less competition.. thats what you want?

              Go on staff with your crazy idea's!

                        Oh I dont mean like players quit altogether because they didnt make twl. But making twl it encourages squads to actively play, practice, so it helps keep base bds running. Surely people wont quit just because they didnt make leagues, they'll just play way less. You guys run a lot of events thats nice. But thats only addressing one sector of the population. To truly make an effort to slow down the population decrease i think all the sectors have to be addressed.
