Q+A: Season 13 Information — TWL Forum Archive

2009-08-25 16:15

Season 13 is Here!

More information for the upcoming TWL Season 13 will be continuously added and updated as we get closer to the start of the season. Don't forget to check back!

RULE CHANGES

Default day has changed! The new default day is MONDAY so that we don't conflict with other leagues. Teams, however, may still reschedule for a different day/time if both sides agree. Default time remains at 8:30PM (Open) in your respective conference. Main default time is still 8:00PM CST, 9:00PM EST.

Match Deadline: The new day to have all rescheduled matches played and reported by are now Thursdays 11:59PM EST. Any rescheduled matches after Thursdays need to be confirmed by an admin.

Make-up matches: We will no longer be scheduling make-up matches for the teams. When scheduling make-ups, both teams are now required to e-mail the appropriate admins to schedule + confirm.

4v5: Players must have at least (4) players in order to live the match. If during a 4v5 match the team with (4) loses a player (making the count 3) then both teams must agree to play 3v5 otherwise the team that is short of players have the next (3) rounds to get a 4th before they forfeit the match.

Playing Out + Claiming rounds: Teams MUST play out all 30 rounds. If the opposing team leaves before the full 30 rounds are completed, the team remaining claims the remaining rounds.

BYE Weeks: BYE weeks will now appear in your match history and will show up in your admin panel. Teams receiving BYE weeks will also be e-mailed.

zBlock 4.4.0: is now required for all league matches.

Server .cfg: We added two new commands which must remain enabled at all times. These are the zb_bunnyfix and zb_crouchfix and these are available for download!

SCREEN SHOTS + DEMOS

This rule will remain the same. There has been a lot of confusion with the players and admins so I clearly state it again:

RCON/Status + Smokes + Model screen shots are only needed ONCE unless a player drops or a substitute is needed. If a player joins/re-joins after 1st half has started but before 2nd half, then the SS round is required BEFORE the 2nd half.

If a player joins/re-joins after the 2nd half has started, then the SS round is required AFTER the match has ended. Both teams MUST REMAIN in the server until everyone has their materials.
