Hello I'm pleased to inform you that the long wait is over the WAL is officially starting but unlike future events this WAL is starting of a bit differently. Here are the steps to getting signed up rules will be written below. Join here before doing anything https://lichess.org/team/world-atomic-league
Steps
-
1. Read The Rules make sure you understand fully before signing up. If there are any questions contact @MarcotheTiger
-
2. Write down in the registration forum (not created yet) your username and which team you are joining for important to remember that it doesn't have to be which continent you're from. Note there are only 6 teams : Australia, North America, South America, Europe, Asia , and Africa.
-
3. When all registrations are in we will count the amount of members per team if less than Ten those registrations are null and will have to be reposted for another team.
-
4. The Team Captains of the team will Choose. 10-20 players (exact number decided after registration is over)
-
5. You may begin to play for your team in the tournament. Note If not chosen there will be team battles thoughout the year.
Rules and games
After you get chosen for your team your team will be assigned a colour. This colour will mark your team's progresss on the map
You will conquer territories with pairings for example round 1 Asia vs Europe battle for South Africa(location will be decided by team captains). Whoever wins the match will gain that territory to their empire. After all territories are filled the game ends and the team with the most territories wins if there is a tie where there will be a final battle for the last continent Antarctica.
Calculating Victories.
In a hypothetical match Asia vs Africa. All members from team Asia will get paired with a member from team Africa according to the closest rating. The time control will be decided by the team captains. Lets just say Asia won 8 boards but Africa won 9 Africa would win that match. Ties will result in the territory remaining unclaimed by either team. If the battle is lost by say Asia the team is fine and may still win the game except the chosen territory goes to the winner.
Matches
The order for matches will proceed in a no elimination tournament style. Each Player will play 10 matches no cuts even if score is 9-0. All ten matches must be played! If it is a draw there will be no tiebreaker match each team will receive 1/2 a point for that match. Victory is counted as 1 point for the team loss is 0 points to the team.
Need to knows
- Time control decided by captains from 1/2 min to 3+2
- No bad language or use of engines.
- No Aborting or forfeiting matches unless necessary. Note if the match is on purposely forfeited the player responsible will be eliminated and replaced with a new player who wasn't chosen during registration.
- If a player will not respond send @marcothetiger a screenshot and eh will declare foreit or speak to the player.
Enjoy Let the Games Begin
