This thread will serve as a hub for information regarding the next season of NANWL. Once details are finalized, a new thread will be created specifically for the discussion of the league season and tournament. There is much to do to reform how NANWL was previously run, so that will be the focus of the next few months. If you were a regiment leader in Season 6, expect to be contacted before the end of the year to provide feedback so that we can solve a lot of the inconsistencies that cropped up during Season 6.
Season 7 Start Date: To Be Announced
Head Administrator: Amit
Moderators: TBA
Referees: TBAApplications for both will be available Q1 2017.Selection of moderators and referees will be based upon three factors:- Good, non-toxic attitude.
- Availability.
- Record of service in the previous season is valued, but not required.
We ran Season 6 on a skeleton crew, so there's no fear in being picky this time.
Role DescriptionsModerator: Responsible for discussing and voting on all important NANWL matters. May also have management duties.
Referee: Responsible for administrating matches on the official NANWL servers, verifying the roster of participant teams and score keeping.
There are no useless positions; everyone will be responsible for some sort of work. There are also no referee tiers this time around. All referees will be held to the same standard.
SponsorshipOur primary sponsor at the moment is Private Server Host (PSH). They are providing 3 Chicago-based servers. Based on Season 6 demand, three servers will serve our needs fine. These are the same servers that we used last year so you can be sure that they are solid. In addition to that, PSH is once again providing a 20% recurring discount on in-game servers for regiments participating in Season 7, but have now added a 60% recurring discount on TeamSpeak servers for participating regiments. Both discounts will remain active after the Season has ended. The link for that will go active once the Season has begun.
In terms of prizes, Private Server Host has pledged $200 in PSH credit that will go toward winners from different categories.
There is also one additional organization that has expressed interest in sponsoring the event, too. I will update all relevant information posts with the details once the deal is finalized.
