IRAIVEN // KAZAK & DENIS

In their match against Cheshire Cats Clan on Saturday, 02.11.17, at the end of the second round of the fourth set, KaZak briefly joined Cheshire Cats Clan's side after he had died. IRaiven brought in Denis, then KaZak rejoined IRaiven's side and they spawned with 9 players the next round. Denis then went back to spectator, but didn't leave the server.

Joining either side to spectate from team members view or joining the side of your opponent in order to gain additional information is not allowed as per the following rule.

§ 18 IV said:
Spectating the match from team members view by joining either team is not allowed at any given point. Is a player found spectating from team members view by joining a team, he or she will be suspended for 1 match.
i.c.w.
§ 1 I said:
Players should respect both the letter and the spirit of the rules.

Because Denis, who spawned as 9th player for the third round, might have dropped items and because he was then able to spectate the last round from team members view, a significant advantage was gained for the last round. This is not allowed as per the following.

§ 2 III said:
If a player is found to have broken any of the rules during a match and the admins determine that a significant advantage was gained, that player's team will forfeit the relevant rounds.

The result of the second round, the round when the rulebreak took place, stands, because the round was already won at this point, and whatever information KaZak was able to pick up whilst being in CCC's team was without a doubt already available to IRaiven anyway. Therefore, no significant advantage was gained during the second round.

Consequently, as the third round and all remaining rounds have been counted in favour of Cheshire Cats Clan, the score of the last set is adjusted to 3 - 2 in favour of Cheshire Cats Clan. KaZak and Denis have both been suspended for one match each.
 
INDEPENDENT WARRIORS

In their match against Defenders of Faith on Sunday, 10.12.17, at the end of the third round of the second set, Independent Warriors made an unallowed subsitution as they swapped in Penetrator for Eldar. This is not allowed as per the following rule.

§ 17 I said:
Substitutions are only allowed between each set without restrictions. If a team substitutes a player during a set for the first time, the relevant rounds count as lost, for the second time the relevant rounds count as lost and they will be deducted 3 points, and for the third time they will be suspended from the tournament.

Since Independent Warriors have to forfeit the relevant two rounds after the subsitutions, the scores of the second set and the match have been adjusted to 3-1 and 11-6 in favour of Defenders of Faith respectively.
 
KAZAK

After their match last week, IRaiven's KaZak was suspended for one match for a violation he had commited during the match. However, despite the suspention for their match this week against Battle Brothers, IRaiven still played him in the second set. This is not allowed as per the following rule.

§ 1 I said:
Players should respect both the letter and the spirit of the rules.

KaZak's suspention will be extended to two weeks. Since IRaiven lost all relevant rounds regardless the score will not be adjusted.
 
RIDER OF ROHIRRIM

During the match Independent Warriors against Defenders of Faith on Sunday, 10.12.17, the player Rider of Rohirrim repeatedly used foul language on the game server towards his opponents. This is not allowed as per the following rule.

§ 1 II said:
In order to maintain a serious and professional environment players must be respectful and polite towards their opponents on the WNL subboard and the WNL servers. If a player shows a poor attitude and displays rudeness or immaturity he or she will be punished by the tournament administration.

This is a warning. On the next occurrence of bad behaviour you are going to be suspended for one match.
 
ANDRITRIUS

During the match Battle Brothers against IRaiven on Sunday, 10.12.17, the player Andritrius used foul language on the game server towards his opponents. This is not allowed as per the following rule.

§ 1 II said:
In order to maintain a serious and professional environment players must be respectful and polite towards their opponents on the WNL subboard and the WNL servers. If a player shows a poor attitude and displays rudeness or immaturity he or she will be punished by the tournament administration.

This is a warning. On the next occurrence of bad behaviour you are going to be suspended for one match.
 
IRAIVEN // KAZAK

In their match against Les Cordons Bleus du Gondor on Sunday, 17.12.17, IRaiven played KaZak for all sets even though he was suspended for this match. This is not allowed as per the following rule.

§ 1 I said:
Players should respect both the letter and the spirit of the rules.
i.c.w.
§ 2 III said:
If a player is found to have broken any of the rules during a match and the admins determine that a significant advantage was gained, that player's team will forfeit the relevant rounds.

Since IRaiven have to forfeit the relevant rounds, and KaZak played in all rounds, the score of all sets will be adjusted to 3-0, and consequently the score of the match to 12-0 in favour of Les Cordons Bleus.

Due to the minor weight of the incident which got KaZak suspended in the first place in camparion to the received punishment as a result of that, we consider the punishment to be served. We want to emphasise again that a lack of knowledge regarding the status of your players and the rules does not prevent punishment for rule breaking.
 
FLAV

In his match against Cheshire Cats Clan on Sunday, 17.11.17, at the start of the fourth round and at the score of 2 - 1 in favour his team, flav briefly joined his team to unlock the camera and then went back to spectator.

Joining either side to spectate from team members view is not allowed as per the following rule.

§ 18 IV said:
Spectating the match from team members view by joining either team is not allowed at any given point. Is a player found spectating from team members view by joining a team, he or she will be suspended for 1 match.

Therefore, flav will be suspended for one match.

Due to the nature of the faction setup and because his team had already gained an equipment advantage from previous rounds, the administration does not believe a significant advantage was gained. Therefore the score will not be adjusted.
 
IRAIVEN // GOLD LION

In their match against Independent Warriors on Saturday, 23.12.17, IRaiven played Gold Lion for all sets even though he is a capped player for Pirates of Fianna. This is not allowed as per the following rule.

§ 11 said:
(1) It is strictly prohibited for a player to play for more than one team during the tournament. On the first occurrence of a player being found to play for more than one team that player will be suspended for up to 3 matches. On a subsequent occurrence of that player found to play for more than one team that player will be suspended for the rest of the tournament.
(2) The second team to field the player will be deducted 3 points. If a team is found to have violated the rule a second time that team will be suspended for the rest of the tournament.
i.c.w.
§ 2 III said:
If a player is found to have broken any of the rules during a match and the admins determine that a significant advantage was gained, that player's team will forfeit the relevant rounds.

Since IRaiven have to forfeit the relevant rounds, and Gold Lion played in all rounds, the score of the second set will be adjusted to 3-0, and consequently the score of the match to 12-0 in favour of Independent Warriors.

IRaiven will be deducted 3 points, Gold Lion will be suspended for 2 matches.
 
LUMBRIDGE LOSERS // GRAFBLADE

In his match against Space Khergits on Sunday, 07.01.18, Lumbridge Loser's player GrafBlade played with an unallowed modification that shows the class composition for both teams on the scoreboard. He played in two of the sets, and was present on the server for all four sets. During all four sets he was in a position to gain clear information on the class composition of his opponents at the touch of a button. Playing with a modification not specified as allowed is not allowed according to the following rule.

§2 I said:
It is strictly prohibited to gain an advantage by modifying texture files or using game modifications such as aimbots or autoblock. Every player that is found to have modified texture files or using game modifications will be suspended from the tournament. Exceptions from this rule are listed in Appendix A.

Since the incident happened, GrafBlade made a few posts on the tournament subboard explaining his point of view and stating he did not intend to cheat by using said modification. Whilst his intention may indeed have not been malicious, we run into the unsolvable issue of trust here, and with the possibility of future rule breaks of this sort in mind, we have no other option but to suspend him for the rest of the tournament.

If we start basing these decision on the unprovable intentions of the players we are going to leave the door wide open for biased decisions in the future, where a players relationship to the administration may very well decide whether they believe him or her and drop the case or take action. That will inevitably lead to accusations of bias and sour the atmosphere within the community.

Additionally, the rules state the player has to forfeit all relevant rounds during which a break of rules took place and a significant advantage was gained as per the following rule.

§2 III said:
If a player is found to have broken any of the rules during a match and the admins determine that a significant advantage was gained, that player's team will forfeit the relevant rounds.

We had a long debate within the administration whether or not the additional information provided by the modification were significant. We found points for and against it, and decided to speak to the captain of the opposing team, Blixn, whose interests are aimed to be protected by this rule. He said he does not believe GrafBlade intentionally cheated, nor were Lumbridge Losers actively using the additional information provided by the modification in his opinion and thus no significant advantage was gained. Space Khergits do not wish to claim any rounds.

Therefore, in agreement with Space Khergits, the administration decided to let the result stand. As stated above, the rule aims to protect the opposing team of the rule breaker, and since they deem no significant advantage was gained, we see no reason to go against their judgement. If they had said they think there was an advantage gained, we would have counted the match 12-0 in their favour.
 
MITCHELL

The player Mitchell has repeatedly used foul language on the forums towards multiple players of the tournament. This is not allowed as per the following rule.

§ 1 II said:
In order to maintain a serious and professional environment players must be respectful and polite towards their opponents on the WNL subboard and the WNL servers. If a player shows a poor attitude and displays rudeness or immaturity he or she will be punished by the tournament administration.

This is a warning. On the next occurrence of bad behaviour you are going to be suspended for one match.
 
QNER

During the match Reunited against Wolfpack on Sunday, 14.01.18, the player Qner used extremely foul, sexist language on the game server towards one of his opponents. This is not allowed as per the following rule.

§ 1 II said:
In order to maintain a serious and professional environment players must be respectful and polite towards their opponents on the WNL subboard and the WNL servers. If a player shows a poor attitude and displays rudeness or immaturity he or she will be punished by the tournament administration.

Qner is therefore suspended for the rest of the tournament.
 
RED_WAR

During the match Bannerlord 20!8 against Defenders of Faith on Sunday, 14.01.18, the player ReD_WaR used foul language on the game server towards his opponents. This is not allowed as per the following rule.

§ 1 II said:
In order to maintain a serious and professional environment players must be respectful and polite towards their opponents on the WNL subboard and the WNL servers. If a player shows a poor attitude and displays rudeness or immaturity he or she will be punished by the tournament administration.

This is a warning. On the next occurrence of bad behaviour you are going to be suspended for one match.
 
NEXONER

The player Nexoner has repeatedly shown a poor attitude towards the tournament itself, his fellow captains and the tournament administration. It is utterly disrespectful to make up match times without confirmation from your opponent and then posting them on the forums as if they were agreed upon, and it is equally disrespectful to snap at the tournament administration with sarcastic comments when being investigated upon regarding a potential rulebreak. This kind of behaviour is not allowed as per the following rule.

§ 1 II said:
In order to maintain a serious and professional environment players must be respectful and polite towards their opponents on the WNL subboard and the WNL servers. If a player shows a poor attitude and displays rudeness or immaturity he or she will be punished by the tournament administration. The range of punishments reaches from a warning to a suspention from of the tournament, depending on the weight of the incident.

This is a warning. On the next occurance of bad conduct you will be suspended for one match.
 
IRAIVEN & LES CORDONS BLEU

IRaiven and Les Cordons Bleus were supposed to play against each for during Week 8, however the teams failed to schedule and play the match within the deadline. This is not allowed as per the following rule.

§ 6 said:
(1) Teams have until Thursday 19:00 GMT to notify the tournament administration about the date and time of their match in the match thread for that respective week. If a team is not able to contact their opponent before the deadline, they must post a short message explaining the situation or contact the tournament administration. Should the opponent fail to make their presence known by the deadline, then teams will be able to select a date and time of their choice from within the deadline.
(2) Teams are not allowed to agree on a date that falls after the deadline for their match unless allowed by the tournament administration.

As neither team brought the matter up to the attention of the administration, the match is counted as a default loss for both teams with a score of 0 - 12 recorded against them.
