So over the past few months I've brought up a lot of ideas and changes and read a lot of everyone's comments and suggestions. Now as we draw closer to TWL, there is not much else to cover. This thread is a quick overview of some of the important changes and general updates about how things are going.
Timeline
The website is coming together, but we need to make sure all of the features work. Thanks for your patience.
-TWL website
-this is what we are all waiting for. It's a very difficult site to code and our coders have been working very hard. Here are some updates that you can expect to see on the new site:
-The developing TWL website: http://trenchwars.org/newtwl/riistar/
-eligibility check: the website will automatically check when a player is eligible to play based on the time he joined the squad. It will either freeze his status until he has sat through a 1 Round cool off, or let him play. Captains will be able to check and see when their players can play.
-Timezone converter-the site will know what timezone you live in and adjust game times so that they show in your time.
-Automatic match generator:Instead of staff picking who plays who, the website automatically randomizes the line up.
-The new website will now save all TWL season matches and statistics from now on.
-A Hall of Fame, Hot or Not, and Video section
-the biggest change is behind the scenes; much easier and smarter (and working!) Admin controls to help staff run things smoothly.
-Qualifications:
-They will be based on the TWD ladder ranking in addition to the eligibility rules (50 games min., for example).
-2 finalists from each league are auto-qualifed for TWL as long as they meet eligibility requirements. (If 1 or more does not return, the next eligible squad on the TWD ladder will be invited). Finalists are: Stray & Thunder (LD), Thunder & Disoblige (LJ), Pandora & Dice (L.
-1 winner from each TWDC division will be invited to TWL
-5 squads from the TWBD & TWJD ladders will be invited; 7 from the TWDD ladder.
-TWL Gameplay
TWLB
-The number of changes has been increased to 6.
-No 4 spid limit.
-2 terrs are not allowed. (omg who would even consider that?)
-no blocks in the cram
TWLD/TWLJ
-1 round for regular season matches
Overall
-Round robin style. Everyone plays everyone.
-Squads that drop out will be replaced by the next highest-ranking, eligible TWD squad and will start out 0-0. Note: If the Rep. squad is tied with another squad for playoffs, the squad that participated in TWL longer wins the spot.
