- Use these rules as a guideline for teams to solve issues on your own before bringing any issues to the commissioner.
- The rules contained herein are intended to be explanatory in nature. WR can not predict every case that may come up in advance. Additionally, unintended loopholes in the language may exist. If the technical language of a rule doesn’t fit with the intent of the rule, there’s a loophole, or other abusive behavior is occurring, WR reserves the right to amend and enforce any and all of its rules retroactively conforming to its intents and in the spirit of fair competition.
- Any rules posted on @WRProAmLeague Twitter under the hashtag #WRRules are enforceable, in addition to this rules page and the Terms of Service. Any discrepancies in rules will be left to commissioner’s final ruling.
- The WR commissioner’s ruling is final. By signing up for this league you accept any and all decisions the WR commissioner makes regardless of what this rule page states.
- Teams will match up using Private Matchmaking. Ranked games will not be considered tournament games.
- You must play on the court with your registered team name and logos. Every team name must have “WR” before or after the name.
- Solving server host disputes:
- WR is an east server league. We will not enforce this in arrears. If you play the games you accept the result. If we are pressed for which server to play on, we will rule east server. However, we will be disappointed you asked. Load up and play the game.
- Note central and eastern time zones are east server; mountain and western time zones are west server.
- If a team can definitively prove beyond reasonable doubt it has all east server players in the lineup then they will be ruled to be the host of all games.
- If both teams prove they have all east server players OR both teams have a west server player, the series will alternate hosts with the higher seeded team hosting first. If neither team provides proof then the series will also alternate.
- If a player lags out before tip off it is an automatic restart. Quit the game and contact the opposing team to match up again
- The following rules apply ONLY to lag outs or other unforced 2K related errors. If you choose to quit out of a game in a tournament or playoff situation it may be a forfeit.
- It is recommended common sense is used. If a lag out occurs in the 1st quarter of a game and it’s not a 10+ point game, the game should be restarted and the game will not count. Ex: You are up 7-2 in the first quarter and someone lags out. That will not count. Ultimate decision on if a game counts is the commissioners.
- WR values teams that work things out on their own and decide things on the court. Teams should not consistently try to get free wins or try to exploit the rules to get a restart. Remember, these players and teams develop a poor reputation in the competitive community over time. If you are really Comp, you don’t do these things. The WR commissioner reserves any and all rights to make a unilateral decision on if a regular season game result counts after being presented with the evidence.
- In WR Tournaments, if a lag out occurs you may be required to restart the game and play the time remaining with the same score differential at the time of the lag out.
- Example: Team A is up 78-70 with the ball on Team B with four minutes remaining. Team B lags out. Team A and B must play the first four minutes of a new game, with Team A winning the tip and given a +8 advantage. (Round to nearest minute).
- Do not count points to the spread that occur after the first player has quit/lagged out.
- The team with a lag out must immediately quit as described above for this rule to apply.
- This rule applies to the time out glitch and all lag outs. If a team is suspected to be repeatedly abusing this rule, WR reserves the right to not grant that team spreads and disqualify them. Final decision is commissioners. Teams are strongly encouraged to work it out themselves.
- All games must be streamed on the registered Twitch account(s). All games must be archived in case admins have to review video.
- Every team must have a representative for their team in the league’s Captain Chat. The Captain Chat will be on Discord
- If a team begins a game knowing that their opponent is in violation of any league rule, they are automatically accepting the results of that game.
- The burden of proof for rules violations lies with the captains (video, audio, time stamped screen shots). WR is not required to track down proof itself and will not take a captain’s word for it.
- All gameplay violations must be submitted to WR Support by visiting https://wr-league.com/support
- 1st violation of above rules will result in a warning or forfeit. The 2nd violation will result in removal from the league NO REFUND will be given.
