Firstly please do not take any offence to this thread and lets keep it clean
Its just a general question as i have seen it posted by an admin in the past month in a news thread, Yet some teams still fail to have a website

Anyway

Does the rule still stand that "To take part in the WGL leagues you have to have a website" ?

Not mentioning any names but i see some teams with a facebook link or youtube page

Is this allowed and does it stand ?

Cheers

I think it is as it's a website for themselves where other team can communicate with them.

TBH though it doesn't take long to throw together a basic enjin site or nexus so don't see why teams don't create one.

Nexus would be good, Sure the WGL and Nexus have some sort of partnership so even better for the WGL also

bump,id like to know as well can a admin clear this up please

I believe so

''One thing we are clamping down on this season is every clan/team will have to have a fully working website. If you dont come the start of the season they dont be upset that you havent got into any of the Leagues. You have been warned.''

I don't think it is mandatory as I can't find it on the rules page? But us admins do encourage teams to setup and use a website, so that incase we can't contact you for something like fixtures or results, we can go chase you up on your site and spread the word that Celtwii is Asian. It was mainly about building a community

As for that news article where it mentioned about clan websites as a requirement, I think it was mainly used to filter out the teams that havent made the effort. So say there were two teams left and only once space. Both have their rosters sorted, but only one has a working website linked - no brainer for us admins.

Even if its not mandatory to have a clan website, I would still recommend one. Mainly because players in a clan get on more often on their PC's, Phones etc. to check the internet than they do go to play on their xbox's. So it's a nice to way chat with you team mates off the xbox.

And it also helps with organizing clan matches and reminding your team mates when a match is on and sorting out tactics. So having a clan website is just a plus in general...even if its not a paid one and just a free standard one.

i agree we are a new clan and we heard tht you needed a website to play so we just went a paid for one on enjin its only £5 or so and is quite a reasonble price especially if the other members add days its good to have one as it makes it easier to arrange games and scrims so if we can do it so should others its not rocket science lol

reap your link on here takes u too google m8t lol i was just gona join your site anyway if anybody needs any help with enjin gimme a shout il be more than happy to help set one up for someone

I can't see it written anywhere, but Mel has always said clans need a website to be eligible for the wgl.

I am sure it used to be a rule!?? Can't find the rule anymore though.

I'm sure it was in place to combat flyby kid clans.

Yeah I always thought you had to have one to take part in WGL leagues. In true fashion I moaned at Betts for being an old git moaning and asked him for examples on Teams without sites (Thinking there weren't many!), and was bombarded with links lol. Now of course teams may have a site but might have changed the link on their page to Twitter or FB who knows!

I do agree it's something that could do with being looked into by admin's as there are many teams and people who put the effort and money into sites and also are under the impression you need them. So only fair to those that this rule be upheld if indeed it is a rule.
