Bracket: Group Stage / Primary Final stage
Bracket: Secondary Final Stage







This year the Rules have changed in a few ways, so i highly advise that when you are bored, you take a close look at them, as this will be extremely important when signing up and upon getting closer to the date of the NWWC. Rules may still be changed slightly, but the general basis and ideas will stay the same. Please let me know if you have an questions about them. We have tried to keep the original rules as much as possible, but due to previous years taking too long, round delays etc, we have decided to make the rules more precise and broad.
General Rules
1. Be respectful towards other players and the referees both on the forum and in-game.
2. No hacking of any sort.
3. Make sure posts on the forum are of relevance, to avoid too much filtering.
4. Be a good sportsman.
5. NWWC Updates page includes rules that may/may not be posted here. These rules are just as valid as the ones below and above.

Captain Rules
1. To sign up for captain, please use the template provided (See below). Captains will be decided by the organisers, to provide support for a captain, PM the organisers or post on the forums, the more support a player has, the high chance of captaincy.
2. Make sure you are eligible to sign up to that nation (See below)
3. Ensure that you treat your Co-Captain with equal responsibility. (Decisions should be made together. Not separately)
4. Make sure (if you are elected) you create a steam group for your Nations team. (e.g: Team Germany NWWC 2018)
5. Do NOT allow any players not on your roster to participate within your team. (Both player and team will be severely punished)
6. EVERY CAPTAIN MUST HAVE BOTH HERCULESTP AND HERISHEYUK ON STEAM, if they fail to do this, they will not be recognised as a captain (this is because sometimes Herishey might be here when Hercules is not, visa versa Maintaining and communication is key for this tournament being successful!)

6. If teams found to be possessing players not legitimate of playing for that nation, the team will suffer an immediate loss for that match, and a -2 start for all following matches.
7.  Some coalitions will be allowed with permission of the organisers, such as the Balkan team, others maybe allowed if a nation cannot get the numbers for a team (e.g. Austria and Germany as they speak the same language mainly, or Russia and Ukraine or NORDEN.)
8. Scotland will be BANNED this year. Anyone that played for or signed up for Scotland last year, will be able to sign up for GB if elligible.

[close]

In-Game Rules
1. Matches will be a First to 15.
2. No trolling or delaying, it wastes both of the teams time and the Staff present.
3. Upon entering the arena, the 7-8 that are playing must be behind the white line before the referee will start the round. If you continue to cross it before the referee says "GO" or "START" etc, this will delay the round, and could be punishable.
4. If a player is delaying, he will be warned a maximum of twice. Then a slay will be given out, the player may not play for that round and the Captain may not substitute another player in, the nation must play with one less member. If the delaying persists, then a temporary ban will be issued.
5. Arrive at your match with at least 7 (preferably 8 Players) Official Nation Team Members, ON TIME If you are more than 15 minutes late without a minimum of 5 members on the server, your team WILL be given an immediate loss for that match, and will give an instant 20-0 Victory to the other team. If you are waiting for extra players, you will be given a MAXIMUM of 5 minutes in total. If both teams fail to turn up, captains can choose to re-organise, or settle with a No-Win No-Loss (NWNL)
6. Only line infantry which means no Foot Guards, Marines, Medics, Grenadiers or Militia. Only Infantry muskets are to be used. No Shooting.
7. Only 8 (7 if 8 cannot be managed) members max of a team can be in the arena fighting. If a team cannot get 7 or 8 members to fight they may give a free win to their opponents or fight outnumbered.
8. The tournament has a pool stage and an elimination stage. The winners and second place teams will progress from the groups to the quarter-finals after which all matches are played in a single elimination fashion.
9. Every victory in the pool stage will award your nation 3 points. Only 2 Nations will progress from each Group Stage. The Nation with the most points progresses. If two or more nations are at a tie, then the rounds from all of the matches will be added up.
10. Matches and map choice are to be scheduled between team captains, and a referee is to be informed at least 48 hours (2 days) in advance. (A referee is either one of the organisers, or someone that the organisers approve as a referee). A match may not proceed without a referee present. Each team may only have one match per week, this allows the statistics to be updated and reduces workload.
11. We have an official caster this year (Chadman/Chadtopia) along with other guest casters. When a Caster is present for a match, the match will be Live-streamed, to which the live stream link will be provided on the forums. If a caster is present, the match will be PRIVATE, and only Casters, YouTubers, Team Members and Referees are allowed in spectator. If no caster is available, then the match will be PUBLIC if agreed by both captains, otherwise will remain private.
12. Matches are to be agreed upon by BOTH captains, and must be posted on the forums ASAP, at least 2 days in advance, requesting a referee and a caster. (If a caster is present, the match WILL be live-streamed, this is not optional.)
13. Only people on the team roster are to be used in the matches. Players must use their listed name on the team roster when in game and must use only one Warband ID for all their matches.
14. Matches may only be played on NWWC provided servers, with one of the Official NWWC maps (exceptions will be allowed, if a referee is present, and the Official maps are used)
15. This year we have three map choices (made by HerculesTP). Captains will have to decide on a map. If both want a different map, then the odd map out will be chosen by the referee (e.g GB Captain picks Arena, but Germany Captain picks Max FPS, then the referee will automatically pick the forest to play on, unless the captains come to a last minute agreement.
16. If a referee cannot be present the match may go ahead, as long as one of the NWWC 2018 maps are used, and one of NWWC 2018 official casters or youtubers are there to provide video evidence of the match.
17. Captains may request a specific referee, but if that referee cannot attend, any referee will be used. Captains cannot decline a referee if one is available.
18. Anyone sitting in spec (Only Server Owners, Referee's, Organisers, Official Nation Team Members, YouTubers, Streamers) must be respectful of the match taking place, this means no excessive chat use, spawning in, and general trolling. This is to allow members to concentrate, otherwise you will be asked to leave the server, and may receive punishment.
19. All teams must provide the correct Teamspeak IP they will be using to the referee and/or organiser, to ensure both teams are legit and abiding by the rules. This can be provided up to 5 minutes before the match starts
20. No Roleplay Names
21. No cheating or external use of scripts/hacking/glitches etc that is not a part of the default Napoelonic Wars Game
22. If a match has not been organised by either Nation, Unless the organiser has already given a free win, the match will be set on the last day at 8pm of the weeks deadline.
23. If any captains have a problem with the way the match was either prepared, casted or refereed. They can appeal to either HerculesTP or HerisheyUK directly.

I won lots of things, I came 2nd and 3rd in lots of things, I guess I did some other shit too........ I'm also an FSE legend, probably most commonly described as a cunt. If the shit I do doesn't make sense in your head, well fuck you because it makes sense in mine.

Which i did, against known and reputed player, some of them considered legend, such as, Mandarin, Ledger, Tiberias, Herishey, Hokej, Troister, Axiom, Evanovic, Stark, Eddie, Jammo, Bagins, Freddie, Python. I didn't had a good relationship with most of them, but i congratulate them for what they did, and i had pleasure facing them.
