Napoleonic Wars League - 6th Season [14th Matchday 15th - 21th Jan]

[DasBrot]

The famous NWL will start into the 6th Season soon! The Napoleonic Wars League will bring together as much as possible regiments to determine the best regiment around. It uses a large rule catalog and referees to enforce them. 14 to 16 Regiments per league will fight for glory and honor in this competative environment.

NWL was founded about 2 years ago by Bever and DasBrot. The idea was to create a standard for the international community. Since every regiment had its own favourite ruleset and statistics posted on their own sites and threads, it was difficult to determine who was "the best". So we figured out a league system similar to football. 1st and 2nd place of the second League will promote to the first league, 14th and 13th place of first league will demote to second league.

NWL was the first well running event of it's kind and got copied several times due to the success, but only the original league is supported by so many popular regiments and people. It also became the biggest event of the NW-Community, including 46 regiments with over 1200 players! The first five seasons are already finished.

Also, I want to thank Bever again for doing this league with me. Without you, this project wouldn't exist. Thank you for those awesome 5 seasons!

1. No Firing in melee or out of formation.   1.1 A melee is where one bayonet or sword from either line strikes the player or weapon of the opposing team.   1.2 Firing out of formation is where a shot is fired from a player of a line which is not stationary and in a tightly packed formation.   1.3 The officer is not allowed to shoot on his own while his line is waiting in cover 2. Gaps have to be closed tight.   2.1 If you fire without closing the gap beforehand, you may be punished by the referee.   2.2 You are not allowed to open the gap after you take a shot. 3. No officer aiming. This only regards the player in the officer class.   3.1 Officer aiming is only true in the following situations;     Shot whilst marching ahead of the line.     Shot whilst ranged combat and not within 5 man spacing of the original line.   3.2 In the following situations, officer aiming does not apply.     If the officer is standing in front, behind or in the line (from enemies viewpoint)     In a definite and obvious charge movement towards the enemy line. 4. Allowed units: Rankers and officers of regular line infantry - No skirmishers, light infantry or guard infantry. 5. Only one line per regiment, only one officer per regiment. 6. No Bonuses, no musicians, no flag bearers. 7. Only a ONE man majority is allowed.   7.1 The minimum attendance required for a balance is 15 men. If a regiment does not bring 15 their opponents may use 15 regardless.   7.2 The maximum attendance is 35 men in play at any time. 8. Only 'Random x Medium' maps are to be used. And not on the "forest" setting.   8.1 Both regiments have to agree on a map. After 5 rounds teams will be swapped to the opposing faction.   8.2 The referee may pick a map on his own when it takes more than 10 minutes to agree on a map. 9. Matches have to be played on official NWL Servers.   9.1 The referee may choose a server if the regiments can't agree on a server 10. You need to get a referee for your match, otherwise its invalid. A list of these is shown below.   10.1 Both regiments need to agree on the chosen referee.   10.2 Referees are not allowed to referee a match that their own regiment is partaking in. 11. You need to play your match in the given time.   11.1. Matches can be played from the commencing Friday to Thursday. 12. If one regiment does not appear in time, the other one will get a 10-0 win. 13. If both teams don't appear, both will get a 0-0 loss. This will result in 0 points for both teams. 14. Players may only be in one regiment that is attending the NWL. If a player is in two regiments that are both in the NWL they must choose which one to play for. 15. No invites. 16. Slaying, freezing, kicking or banning is only allowed, if the target is from your own regiment.   16.1 You are not allowed to reset or restart on own behalf. 17. Referee rulings have to be accepted in a running match. You may not discuss it within an unfinished match.   17.1 Instructions of a referee must be followed; excluding instructions which would change the match dramatically                    where no rules have been broken (e.g. charge orders or similiar orders)   17.1.1 The referee may send spectators of any regiment which is not part of the competing regiments off the server   17.1.2 The referee may forbid to use the global chat and global admin chat for everyone, other chats (internal ones) are not mentioned   17.2 You may appeal a referees judgement with a video or screenshot if abusing behavior is seen, or a wrong/biased decisions has occurred.   17.3 If you abuse the appeal system your further appeals may be ignored. 18. No flaming or insulting. Organizers may punish insults or inappropriate behavior with ceding or canceling points. 19. Organizers keep interpretational sovereignty Rule 8 may still change.

DA GR8 REF Q/A
In the past seasons there were many misconceptions about the rules and how to enforce them.
Therefor, a FAQ on how2ref!

What is my job?

Spoiler

Your job is to enforce NWL rules, of course. But ONLY to enforce rules! Your personal preferences do not matter in this case. You don't like camping? Who cares? If one regiment camps, its not against the rules. You are not allowed to send them off to charge or something like that. Just saying

[close]

A regiment FiC'd! Wat do?

Spoiler

First, you do nothing special. You note the name and watch how the round ends. Did the FIC change the outcome of the round? E.g. victim lost 2 men because of FiC and lost in a close charge - in this case, round has to be redone. E.g. FIC where the rule breaker already had 10 men advantage after shootout - in this case, you slay the respective person FiCing in the next round. Of course the regiment may not swap him out. If he does anyways, just slay any other ranker. In the end, the rule breaking regiment has to play at a disadvantage next round.

[close]

A regiment OA'd! Wat do?

Spoiler

Are you sure it was OA? (I will insert pictures here if ppl don't understand) If you are, same as FiC.

[close]

People keep bantering on global chat. Wat do?

Spoiler

As long as it isn't disrespectful or actual spam, nothing. When people start to insult each other, tell them to stop. When they don't, you may forbid global chat. People still don't stop to insult? Kick/slay them.

[close]

A regimental Leader broke the rules (FIC,OA). Shall i slay him next round?

Spoiler

No, just slay someone else from his line.

[close]

A regimental Leader/Member resetted a round on their own in a rage/midround or whatever. Wat do?

Spoiler

That regiment has just lost 0-10. Please contact me with date and time, I might check for bushpirate though.

[close]

I want to ban someone.

Spoiler

Only temp bans, please.

[close]

I want to use a NWL server for private events.

Spoiler

The servers are for NWL events, not for yours. Please contact the server sponsors, if you want a fine server for your event.

[close]

Someone is asking me for admin pass.

Spoiler

Tell them to add and ask me. You are not allowed to distribute the password.

You have additional common questions? Ask them!
