Introduction:
After seeing the Napoleonic Wars League successfully established in the European community we thought it is about time to bring some life and action into the North American community too. The North Amercian Napoleonic Wars League (NANWL) has the exact same principles and rules as the European one. Contrary to the European league, we know that less regiments will probably be interested so we will wait to see how many regiments sign up and how many leagues we can make. Most likely it will only be one league.
If other regiments would like to sign up while the league is already running, feel free to do so. You will be put on a wait list and we will either stick you in if possible or wait until the next season and try to get all the wait listed regiments in by either forming another league or simply adding them to the existing league.
The regiment placed first in the top league will be crowned champion of North America. Most likely we will only get one league so the regiment placed lowest will not descend to the second league, since it does not exist. If enough regiments sign up will be exactly like the European system.
Please do not mistake this for a show off competition though. The main focus is on having fun while being competitive and seeing where your regiments is compared to others. If any sign of disrespect is shown you might be booted from the league. Remember, this is only a game and even if one regiment is better at killing off virtual opponents than another, it is not something the regiment should brag about. Be proud but not condescending!

19. - Invites are NOT allowed; if we find out that a regiment played with invites, we will remove a win and 3 points
20. - If a regiment has something to complain about because the opponent did not follow the rules, it has to prove it (video or screenshot); there might not be referees!
21. - The results of a match must be proven by screenshot or both regiments giving the same result!
22. - If the accusations are correct the organizers will decide how harsh to punish them, which can range from a warning to a kick!
23. - If a regiment complains repeatedly and then does not turn up any evidence or this evidence turns out to be false, they will be subject to the same procedure!
Battle times:
The battles themselves will be fought on days arranged by the two leaders of the opposing regiments. They will receive a deadline and have to fight before it or it will be counted as a 0-0 loss for both. Deadlines will not be extended! Remember, you play on the home sides server or if you do not have one or cannot play on your server you can contact the 12th and ask to play on our server.
Sign-ups
The sign-ups are open from now until the tournament starts, October 27th, 2013. The sign-ups are based on first come first served, meaning those who sign up early will get into the higher league, the stragglers will be stuck into the second league. The 12th seeing as we host it will be in the first league. Do not forget though, if we get multiple leagues, after one season the first two of the second league will be raised into the first league and the last two in the first dropped into the second league, the third last place in the first will play the third in the second for who will play in the first league.
Once sign ups are closed you may still sign up but may not receive a slot in the league until the next season!
You will receive an invite to the steam group, be sure to accept it!
