Crashes/Drops (Players)

• If a player drops when the game is in progress, and at least 1 minute has elapsed, the team who lost the player will have to continue under-manned, unless the opposing team agree's to go back and start the match over. If, however, a player has been killed, on either team, the game must continue, no exception. If a player disconnects when the game is loading, the host must abort immediately if the dropped player's team call for an abort. The dropped player then has five (10) minutes to return. If a player drops during the weapon selection screen, the host must abort the countdown, if necessary, and players may sit and chat amongst each other while the dropped player returns. The disconnected player has approximately 10 minutes in which to return. If, after 10 minutes, the disconnected player has not returned, the unit has ten (5) minutes to find a substitute. Further details about substitutes can be found below. If a player drops three (3) times while the game is in progress, he/she must be substituted, if no substitute can be found, the team or unit must continue under-manned. There is no limit on how many times a player may drop in the weapon selection screen."Lag is not a REASON for a player to drop from a Match. If LAG is noticed by a player and not by the other player, and the other player wishs to continue, then the match must continue."


Crashes/Drops (Host)

• If the host disconnects when the game is in progress for the first time, and the game crash's then the game must be played 1 more time with the same host. If the host crashes a second time, the non-hosting team or unit may have the opportunity to host. If the non-hosting unit cannot produce a host, a neutral host may be brought it (Or a WGL Admin Referee or and WGL Admin). If a host cannot be found then the game can be rainchecked.


Crashes in Singles

• If a player disconnects during a 1v1 or singles match, he/she has ten (10) minutes to return, otherwise the other participant may fill out a forfeit form on the WGL ladder. The same rules apply for the host as above. A Referee Admin or any WGL Admin can host if needed. Crashes/Drops in singles match apply to the same as Unit matchs.


Substitutes

• A substitute may take the place of another player teammate if needed. Substitutes must be from the same unit or from an allied unit. A maximum of two (2) substitutes may be used in any one match (except for single's match's, where no substitutes can be used). The substitute may inherit the amount of kills the disconnected player had, if he/she wishes. A substitute may take the place of another player in the match anytime throughout the match.


Kill Count

• In any match type, the winners will report a kill for each opponent that was defeated. Meaning in a 3v3 the winning team(each player) would receive three kills each.


Draws

• If the game cannot be finished because both ships are destroyed past the point of being able to destroy one and other. The the match is called a draw and both members can replay or walk away.


Screenshots/Reply

• WGL recommends that player's take screenshots at important events, such as results screens, suspicions of cheating or of profane or foul language. This is hard evidence and will help in any investigations that WGL may have to carry out. Please take a screenshot of the final results screen. If a player does not confirm a match, this screenshot is proof that the match existed and was completed. Without the screenshot nothing can be done by an admin.  Failure to do so could result in a person getting the credit he/she does not deserve.


General Behavior

• WGL enforces fair play for everyone. Any forms of profanity, bad language or racism remarks are not acceptable and will not be tolerated. Anyone found doing this when in WGL matches, on the WGL site or forums will be dealt with severely.

Reporting/Confirming

• The winner of the match must report the match by filling in the correct details on the WGL Report Area on the Site. The loser then has to confirm the match. It is recommended that the winner inform the losing team of the battle number to avoid any confusion. The losing player or unit has twenty four (24) hours to confirm the match. Failure to do so will result a 200 point fine for every battle a player or unit has taken place in that is not confirmed. If it's a unit battle the unit will be fined 200 points and if it's a 1v1 the player will be fined 200 points for not confirming the match. If after 24 hours the match has not been confirmed, the winning player or unit may approach an administrator with evidence of the match, and may choose to enforce a fine on the non-confirming unit/player. If a battle is reported incorrectly report the battle again but correctly and then email a results admin asking to void the battle number that's reported incorrectly and why.


Reporting Substitutes

• The player who has substituted has the choice whether he/she wishes to be included in the final match report, whether win or loss. If the substitute chooses to be excluded from the final report, the dropped player must be reported with all the kills that he/she got, if any. WGL recommends that the substitute should be informed of the match situation before he/she participates.


Sportsmanship

• As part of our fair play scheme, players should acknowledge fair play and always abide by the rules. Everyone has more fun when players are good sportsman. Complaining and whining is a sign of bad sportsmanship and just creates a negative atmosphere, which is what we do not want on the WGL network.

It is the responsibility of every player participating in WGL to know and understand the rules. The Administrators will manage the league in accordance with these rules. In matters not covered specifically by these rules, the admin will use their discretion.
