 3.2  WGL 6v6 Total Conquest is run on a league system. Each team will play each other once and if any clans finish on the same points at the end, final rankings will be decided by Cumulative Round Difference. In the event that round difference is equal, table position will be determined by Round Wins and then by the head-to-head result for the teams in question.

3.2d The Map list for each week will be specified in the fixture lists up front. Teams are not permitted to pick their own maps.
3.3 The home team will be responsible for providing a server to play the game. We will have several servers people can borrow to play their games - some from the WGL and some from clans within our community. However, availability of these is not guaranteed and you would be expected to spend the 120msp to rent a server for the day if required

4: General Guidelines
4.1 Matches must be played on match days which are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday
4.2 It is each teams responsibility to arrange their fixtures by the start of the week and then to confirm it using the fixtures functionality by the Sunday of each week.
4.3 Each team must keep note of how many maps they have won and lost and the total scores for each round.
4.4 Each captain must then report these results using the fixtures functionality on the WGL website after the match and at the latest by 9am the following morning.
4.5 The fixture list will dictate who is the home team and therefore host for the match (i.e. the first team in the fixture). See rule 3.3. The home team will pick the RU spawn and the away team will be US

4.7 If a player disconnects during the match he can be rejoin at anytime

4.9 Teams are allowed to sub players in between maps as long as all the players are on the roster. The game will not stop to allow this.
4.10 Party chat is permitted but leave the party open so the opposite team can join it incase of any issues

5: Defaults
5.1 A team has 15 minutes to show-up with the proper number of eligible players and be ready to start the match. Failure to do so will result in a forfeit. Also, it is both teams responsibility to check rosters before the fixture is played to make sure that all players are eligible to play.
5.2 Forfeits result in a 2 Map loss to the team that didn't show and -2 round difference.
5.3 Forfeits will also result in an equivalent map/round win for the team that was able to play.
5.4 If any team forfeits 3 games in a season they will be removed from the League.

6: Weapon, Perk and Unlock Restrictions
In the WGL, we want competition to be fun, fair and balanced. For that reason, we have restricted some weapons, and attachments to minimise the element of luck and force the game to be played in the spirit intended by the WGL Members and Admin team.

6.1 These perks or items are not allowed to be used:
MAV drone
Spawn beacon
M320 (only smoke is allowed)
IRNV Scope
Tactical Light (including pistols with tactical)
Mortar Rounds
All shotguns and underslung shotguns

Any breach of the restrictions outlined above will result in the immediate forfeit of the map for the offending team. The Admin team recommend that the Lobby Host/Captains run through the restrictions once all players are present in the lobby and before the game starts. if there is any confusion with the rules list, contact a BF3 Admin immediately.

9.1 All participants in any WGL competition will be required to uphold to the highest standards and observe common sportsmanship. Racism and other forms of abuse will NOT be tolerated. Being abusive in any way towards fellow players or admins will also result in disciplinary action.

The admins reserve the right to overturn results if they deem the actions produced are unfitting with the general WGL guidelines.

WGL Admins will review cases and players may be suspended for a period of not less than one month and is subject to review by WGL admins for readmission after that point. If a player is caught cheating in a WGL match, their team shall forfeit that game. WGL will not conduct witch-hunts to try and find cheat violations against players.
9.3 Players are expected to compete in a professional manner. Throwing a match, halting play without cause, or showing a flagrant lack of effort will be construed as a violation of player conduct, and will result in match forfeit and disqualification from the WGL Event.
9.4 Consequences for players and Clans behaving in a manner considered by admins to be abusive, glitching, modding, cheating, unsporting, or who in any way conduct themselves in a manner not befitting the League, will be subject to the following minimum sanctions:
a. First offence, Player warned.

This will include, but is not limited to: overturning match results and awarding default wins, points deduction, player/clan temporary or permanent bans.
9.5a For all avoidance of doubt, this includes deliberately killing team mates or committing suicide to replenish grenade and ammo supplies. If a team suspects their opposition of doing this, they should immediately contact an admin who will make a decision based upon proof being presented via a screen shot or in-game recording
