NOVAC AND TRANQUILITY
As many of you aware, Tranquility was caught violating rule § 1.2 (3)
Novac has already played for Bean Boys for week one and two. And he was not transferred to Tranquility during the transfer week. Tranquility did not contact any member of our staff to ask about Novac nor did they contact us to explain the situation either.
We do not consider this to be a small infraction either. Teams will be held responsible for rule infractions, and the "we didn't know" argument holds no weight.
As such, Tranquility will be stripped of all the rounds they won whilst Novac was playing. And Novac will receive a three match ban.
If you have any questions, further evidence, or if you'd like to dispute this decision, feel free to PM me.
Good day'

RULESET
No changes are being made to the ruleset but rather the administration will now be interpreting it as it is written. The clause 1.2 3 explicitly mentions the restriction pertaining to transferring teams, ie. you cannot switch from one team to another. The prior rule 1.2 2 enforces the binding measure between player and team, specifically citing the fact that once a player has played for a team they are then bound to that team and are treated as a member of it. The change in interpretation is concerning the effect of the transfer week; the transfer week is a measure which breaks the player-team bond. As such those who left their team during transfer week were, and remain, under our existing ruleset eligible to play for another team. The administration unanimously agreed to enforce the rule in this way.

MAP CHANGE
After several tests, we've decided to remove Amere Village from our fixtures and replace it with the new map Bhalie created by Kern. We've received positive feedback on the map, so hopefully it'll be a refreshing addition to our repertoire.
The map will be uploaded onto all of our servers by the end of today.

DECISION REVERSAL
We've decided to reverse the following decision;
So the rule will be enforced in the following way: You may only transfer teams during the transfer week, if you didn't transfer during that week. You are stuck with the team you played with until the next tournament.
Our reason for reversing this decision is because of timing. The decision was announced two weeks after the transfer week had ended, when it should have been announced a week before the transfer week took place. Enforcing it now would be unfair to those players who missed the opportunity to remove themselves from their teams during the transfer week, should they have wanted to.
With that being said, I'd like to emphasize that the rule itself isn't an issue, it is actually the correct interpretation of the rule and is the way it should have enforced it. It's just our fault for not explaining it more clearly earlier.
This decision wasn't made by one individual, when the rule was brought into a question our whole staff had adequate time to state their opinions on the matter and voted for it's interpretation announced.
Ah, and one more thing. A lot of you like to write comments like, "classic AE admin bias", and it's quite frankly the most ridiculous posts you'll find on the forums (other than every post Fietta makes). These guys put in tons of hours to make our tournaments and competitive scene more enjoyable yet all you do is give them flak. It's probably a major reason why people like Scar and Deacon have lost interest in hosting tournaments for our community. I suggest that you spend less time trying to find excuses for why you can't beat AE, and spend more time on improving your skill
Anyways, have a good day. And we'll be making an announcement on whether we'll allow a Holiday break by Wednesday.

STAFF CHANGES
I've decided to remove Gibby from our staff for this tournament due to misconduct and ill-intent. Now, with that being said, we shouldn't burn Gibby at the stake for this. The man made a mistake, he shouldn't have acted that way whilst being an admin for this tournament, and he should've been clear of his motives when proposing the rule to the staff.
I'd like to thank Gibby for the hard work he's put into the tournament, and I hope this doesn't prevent him from becoming an admin in future tournaments. I think he's proven that he's more than capable of being one.
I've decided to bring two new administrators on board to help make sure the tournament continues to run smoothly. So with no further ado, I'd like to welcome; Oliveran and OGL to the WPL staff. Looking forward to working with you guys.

HOLIDAY BREAK
We'll be issuing a holiday break after the end of this week. There were a significant amount of teams that needed it, and I think it'll be refreshing in general. Teams are permitted to schedule their quarter finals match in this time, should they want to.
Break start: December 21st
Break end: January 3rd
I hope you all enjoy your holidays!

MODULE UPDATE
DOWNLOAD THE NEW MODULE HERE
The servers currently updated are:
European servers:
WPL_FR_1,2,3
WPL_DE_4,5,6
American servers:
WPL_CHI_1,2,3
More to come.
There are no more adminpasswords. Only team co-captains and captains will have admin-rights on the WPL2 servers. Their IDs have been added to an ID-based admin system. You as a captain simply have to log in with the serverpasswords, "wpl2", and you'll have get admin-rights automatically by the server.
Using any other module will not work, as it requires a player-server synchronization to apply the admin-rights to the player. Note for referees, your IDs has also been added and you must use this module as well.
