We're approaching the end of the first third of the season. Which teams will earn more points to get to the juicy Top 6?

Quick ruling concerning Multiteams
This week, a lot of managers asked about the case of a player who is playing in our league and for another team in the w3il. Even more concerning, playing there for a team that also participates in WC3CL.
While the rulebook clearly forbids such conduct, we will not go against it. The scene is becoming smaller and smaller and a league that actually offers pricemoney is surely something we don't want to boycott either.

Thus, the new ruling is this: A player is allowed to play for another team in another league, as long as the team he is member of in WC3CL does not play in said other league.
As every rule in the WC3CL this may change in the future, but for now this is the ruling we are going for. We hope all questions about this case are answered with that.

As a finishing touch, we also can present to you are new Walk of Fame, where every team who ever got a medal in WC3CL is listed, including a seperate WoF for playoffs and some comments on teams that accomplished special or note-worthy feats.
Hopefully you enjoy this bit of history, which actually reaches back over ten years!

After a magic first playday, in which no team missed their lineup (first time since 2014 on a season start!), we're back with more!

Besides that we also can announce the playoffs system we will use at the end of Season 59! You voted for it and made your wish very clear. You want six participants!
This means, the Top 2 will qualify for the semifinals, the remaining Top 6 will have to play pre-playoffs/quarterfinals. After the first round, the bracket will be adjusted, to the first seed will play against the lowest seed. More informations about playoffs (maps, times etc.) later this season!

After some problems with our webpage, we can now announce the schedule for the upcoming season. Time to start with Season 59!

For those, who play our league for the first time or need some help with the rulebook, here is a small tutorial:

1)Please put in your lineups until 17:44 CET, they will be released at 17:45 CET and can only be added into the matchcomments then.
2)Both teams can postpone one map/matchup before the clanwar starts and another one right after the lineups are released, until 18:15 CET. Every other postpone needs the consent of your opponent!
3)Every match that is not played out on playday needs to be finished in a timespan of two weeks. Remaining matches will be closed without notice! So if you think you need a defwin for a match, please contact us.

If you have questions concerning the rulings, our page or anything else, please feel free to contact us.

Important note
To make communication easier, we would like to use a channel in Discord for captains only. Each time can nominate two captains/managers who will gain access to it. Please notify me your name in Discord, so you can be added.

After a busy weekend we can finally give you all needed informations about the new season. If something is not answered here, please let us know!

When will the season start?

We probably could do it next sunday, but to be extra sure and give all of you enough time to plan ahead, the final starting day will be Sunday, 24.02.2019, 18 CET!

What about playoffs?

That is indeed a good question. Right now, only the Top 3 teams qualify for playoffs. But we are up for a change, so please vote for the playoffs system of your liking HERE!

I want in, too! Until when can I register my team?

Registration will be open until Sunday, 17.02.2019, ~20 CET

When do we know our opponent for the first playday?

Closely after the registration phase ended, the timetables for the season will be created and published.

What about a new mappool?

Since we have the time, we will vote for a new mappool! You can chose your ten 1on1 and eight 2on2 maps here:
1on1
2on2

Still waiting for my player to be accepted

We get a lot of registrations from spambots, so our registration-system is rather strict. Normally a player will be accepted in shorttime, but to be honest, some of you are really hard to distinguish from spambots. So maybe don't register with a mail that sounds like you want to sell viagra to minors?
Jokes aside, if you haven't been accepted in a timely manner, please contact us!

While we are at it: Some managers registrate their players by themselves. We get it, that this is way easier and convenient, but this looks like an attempt of multiaccounting. So please, if you do it, a)contact us about the players you want to have in (or in a general manner, that you do this practice) and b)make sure your players get all informations about the account you create. We had serious troubles with multiple accounts per players created by their managers and would like to not relive that mess.

But how can I contact you?
The easiest is our internal webchat/personal message. But if you don't like it or have questions easier answered in a realtime dialogue, you can contact us here:
Discord - Yes boys, we finally fulfilled that wish of yours. Still in the making, so please forgive that is doesn't look that pretty.
BattleNet - It hasn't much use right now, but we assume it will be important for Reforged, so we did a channel their aswell.
Skype - The skype channel we once used is still existing, but we assume everyone will rather use Discord instead. If you already have me or another admin there, feel free to ask on Skype, too. But notice that it isn't in "official" use anymore.

But I still have questions 

Feel free to ask anything you want to know here or on the contacts mentioned above.
