So for Week 2 we will be beginning the weekly Pick Night, as described in the rules below:

  • The fixtures themselves will be done by the teams on selected "pick nights", similar to the ENL Division C.
  • Pick nights will take place every Monday between 18:00 - 20:00 BST. Each team will be allotted a 5 minute timeslot to pick their opponent in. Picking order will be prioritised as follows:
    • Teams with 0 points that were in the WNL the previous week.
    • Teams that have joined the WNL in the current week.
    • After these, teams will pick in order of points (from lowest to highest).
    • Should teams have equal priority, then the team with the most rounds won will be given priority.
  • Teams may not pick a team more than 1 level above themselves. Teams may not pick a team they fought last week, unless there is no other option.
  • If a team misses their pick, it will be randomised from any of the next 3 teams in the picking order that lost their new match or are new to the division. Failing that, the pick will be taken from the next team in the picking order that lost their last match or is new to the Division. Failing that, the pick will be random.

  • If a team only has two teams to choose from and one of the teams sat out the previous week, they must pick that team.

Teams should use the following template when making their pick or "selection":

Code:
[b]Which team are you from?:[/b]
[b]Which team are you picking?:[/b]

For example:
Which team are you from?: Apis Europae
Which team are you picking?: Renegades

The following are the timeslots allotted to each clan. Whilst it is preferable that each team picks, they will not be punished for failing. Instead they will have a team randomly selected with the conditions stated in the above rules. As you can see the amount of teams has meant it spilled over the 2 hours mark but only half the teams need to pick so I actually didn't need to do a list that long. If your team is picked you do not need to use your time slot.

I hope that everyone enjoyed the Pick Night, I thought it was good fun. Thanks to Scar for putting in the effort of doing it. We'll probably look at a way of shortening the process in time for next week. Well done to everyone though because we had very few random picks. We had very few hiccups last week so let's hope that continues. Good luck to all teams, enjoy Mr. Sphere's new map Fort of Honour which is being played this week too!

Shouldn't we able to pick more than 1 oppoment in a picking list

For Example

1. Clan
2. Clan
3. Clan
etc

and go like this.
If the 1st oppoment is not available, then the second, if not the third etc

Don't see how that helps. You just pick 1 team that hasn't already been picked at the alotted time and you're good to go.

Thanks for this, can't for the pick ups to begin.  :smile:

EDIT: Just for clarification do you get more points for picking a harder team? Like in ENL.
It was explained in the rules. If you pick a team one level above yourself and get a win, you get 5 points.
 
Teams will be assigned levels according to how many matches they have won. Teams with 0-3 wins will be level 1. Teams with 4-7 wins will be level 2. Teams with 8+ wins are level 3.

As only one round is played, all teams are level 1, and you don't benefit from picking the top teams.
 
Seems like I missed smth again..

Fair point. So if the teams have played an equal amount of games then they are prioritised like this:

Points
Head-to-Head (That is to say, if the teams faced each other previously then the one that lost would pick first)
Round Difference
Rounds Won

If they are equal after all of that then it will be selected using a Random Number Generator.

Apologies, a few posts after that one the rules were amended because of Captain Lust's suggestions. Sorry for the inconvenience  :sad:

Killfacer said:
I've also swapped Rounds Won and Round Difference so that R/D is now the final method for sorting. Also introduced the autopicking thing instead of random, as like you say it stops streaking teams getting punished.

The reason for using Rounds Won instead of Round Difference for deciding pick order is well explained by Lust:

Captain Lust said:
One is to avoid giving an incentive to keep round wins to a minimum. (i.e. in this system there's a potential advantage to winning matches by as little as possible and if you're going to lose, then it's best to lose by as much as possible since in the end most teams will be sorted by points)

Second reason is that if you do it by round difference then new teams entering will have an advantage over teams that have been in from the start but just sucked. So it will incentivise teams to leave and rejoin (which is stupid) and it will fail to reward the endurance of teams that stick it out (which is important in my opinion).
