Rules
PLAYOFF AND SEEDING: Instead of going solely based on the standings, we will use a combination of both your record and a strength of schedule (SOS) ranking system called WRPI to determine what teams make the playoffs.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT WRPI: You will be rewarded for playing good teams. Beating weak teams won’t be worth as much. WRPI will be based on an in-house weighted average formula utilizing your win percentage, your opponents’ win percentage, and your opponents’ opponents win percentage.
In general, just play who is on, don’t cherry pick opponents. The WRPI will be available to us for making determinations for individual awards and the playoff seeding and selection.
Note: Should time constraints or technical issues arise, WR reserves the right to elect to do seeding based on win percentage.
Playoffs
20 Games are required to make the playoffs.
Note the league management reserves the right to drop the games played limit if necessary.
The top teams will be selected based on a combination of WRPI and the standings. Some teams may be awarded a bye for a higher seed depending on the number of teams in playoffs.
Note the league management reserves the right not to use WRPI for seeding.
The Playoffs will be Best of 5 for every round except the WR Finals which will Best of 7.
Every round will last 48 hours. If games aren’t played within those 48 hours then it will be at admin’s discretion to continue the series or simulate.
If a playoff series begins it must end the same night. If a team signs off without consent, it is considered the same as conceding the series. The only exception would be if both teams agree AND you have attained admin consent to finish the series the next day.
Playoff Games that are not played are subject to be simulated where a random winner will be selected. Or the team that shows to be more active.
NEW TIMELINESS RULES FOR PLAYOFFS/TOURNAMENTS
The intent of the timeliness rule is to create a competitive environment that is respectful of an opponent’s and viewers’ time.
After a game time is established, create a chat with your opponent and @WRProAmLeague twitter reporting the game time. Both teams must agree.
If you do not report your game times to WR in advance as described above, we will not enforce the on time rules.
You must notify the opposing captain 90 minutes in advance to reschedule. The scheduled series can only be pushed back a maximum of one hour.
The primary accepted form of communication is Twitter for scheduling purposes as the captain and team twitter are listed on the website. Discord is also an accepted secondary form of communication and will be upheld as valid but twitter should be used for scheduling first. Psn or Xbox messages are not the correct way to contact teams.
Streams must be up within 30 minutes of the scheduled game time showing 5 players in the arena. If this does not happen, game 1 of the series will be forfeited.
Every 20 minutes after that a team is late will result in a forfeit of a game in the series.
Example: 50 minutes late will be an 0-2 deficit (series forfeiture if a 3 game series). 1:10 minutes late will be an entire 5 game series forfeiture.
WR reserves the right to not enforce the timeliness rule for any reason. Reasons WR may elect to not enforce the rule include but are not limited to first time offenders, it’s a late round of the tournament, the team is deemed to have a significant emergency situation (ex: incapacitated, hospitalized, etc.)
Spread rules are in effect (see spread rules section). But, you may not choose to quit out of the game. If you choose to quit out of the game for reasons such as “it feels laggy” repeatedly without the opponent agreeing, your team may be forfeited. The only acceptable reason to quit a game is that you lagged out or another reason beyond your control. You may be given one warning or forfeited.
If the game does not start within 10 minutes of both teams being in the arena, WR may elect to coin flip the series. If it is one team causing the hold up, WR may elect to forfeit the series. Teams should be respectful of the viewers’ time.
