World Clan League Rules

The league structure

The WCL consists of various divisions of different abilities, each division consisting of 8 clans. Each clan in each division plays all other opponents in their division twice (hosting once each) resulting in each clan playing 14 clan wars per season. Once a season has been completed, clans will be promoted or relegated to the divisions above or below them where they will play for the following season. How a clan is promoted or relegated depends on the clan?s overall performance throughout the season which is represented by a point system. The clans with the most points at the end of the season gain promotion to the division above and the clans with the least points are relegated to the division below.


The points system

The winning clan of each clan war receives 2 points and the losing clan receives 0 points unless they are defeated by a margin of 20 points or less, in which case the defeated clan receives 1 point for a narrow defeat (both clans receive 1 point in the event of a draw).

Should two or more clans be level on points at the end of a season, then the score points the clans have accumulated throughout the season during their clan wars shall divide them



The promotion/relegation system

At the end of a season the two clans who finish the highest in their division will be promoted to the division above and the two clans who finish the lowest will be relegated to the division below.

Course Selection

Team Rosters

Each clan can register a maximum roster of 25 players and are only allowed to use those registered players for the duration of that season. Any clan found to use an unregistered player in the WCL will be punished accordingly.

Clans are to inform the league organiser of any ammendments to their teams roster at their earliest convenience. Additional players can be registered Mon-Fri subject to individual circumstances.



Disqualification procedure

If a clan should be disqualified or leave the WCL, then the clan seeded highest in the division below will have the first option to automatically replace the clan in the division above and continue with the disqualified clans points and remaining fixtures. The clan who wishes to replace the disqualified clan in the division above them, will be replaced by the clan seeded highest in the division below and so on.

Should no clan wish to replace the disqualified clan, then the disqualified clans remaining wars are counted as defeats and each of their forthcoming opponents will gain a victory by forfeit. The disqualified team will be placed bottom of that division and will be one of the two relegated teams at the end of the season.



Clan relationship barriers

Please do not be deterred from participating in the WCL due to a bad relationship with a participating clan, as the division administrators are there to assist by exchanging any information/line-up details between any such clans.
