Season 2, Week 1 Notes

Introduction Welcome to the official podcast of the World Clan League with your host, Bli33ard. This podcast is hosted by Total Play Studios. Season 2, Week 1. Hello there, and welcome to the inaugural episode of the World Clan League podcast. Now, I’m sure many of you are wondering what this is, who I am and what am I going to talk about. I’ll start from the top. The WCL Podcast is all about covering the latest news, results & controversy from the World Clan League. This is the definitive essential to all of those participating in the WCL, racer and organiser alike. Now, that’s covered, now finally to introduce myself. My name is Bli33ard (with the 3’s instead of the z’s) and I’m from London, England, and I’ve been involved in gaming pretty much all of my life. It’s a great passion of mine and I’ve always combined them with some kind of media like radio shows, podcasting, forums etc, and I’ve even got my own site which is hosting this podcast, so I’ve been around, heh. So that’s me introduced, now to show you what you can look forward to in this episode.

- Full detailed results for Week 1 - The ‘Clan of the Week’ feature with Division 5’s White Winged Atrocity’s morgrif - Messages from Bash Now, let’s get started, shall we? Headlines - Tag/Name Violations Just a reminder that ALL players in a team MUST have identical tags, otherwise they will incur a 10 point penalty for their team. (Rule 10a) Another reminder that players’ points will not be counted for their team if they play under a different name which was registered at the beginning of the season.

- Infinity withdrawing Infinity have withdrawn from Division 3 (also known as the Feather division) after a series of multiple disconnections. Infinity have withdrawn at such an early stage in such a good position, with plenty of time to make up for their defeat. The 2 gp's that they played were counted as the final result (since Infinity didn't want to continue) and they lost by less than 20 points = 1 league point. Infinity also expressed their disappointment that their division admin was unsupportive during the incident (didn't respond on MSN). The moral of the story is that if you have multiple dc's then don't expect the host to dc and restart the room because they're not obliged to, you get 15 pts per player and the host will be banned from hosting should there be further problems. A team from D4 will now be invited to replace in* and teams from D5/6 etc will move up allocating a spot.

Talladega Knights Clan

Super controversy about result – initially TKC lost all of their points because they did not register. Division leader Dark563 ruled that because of the ‘first WCL match grace period’, the actual score stood at the time, with Mushroom Team 2 winning. However, TKC suffered a -50 point deficit for incorrect tags, -10 for each player. Just another reminder to keep in check with the rules. After Dark563 saw the video evidence, then the decision was reverted back to the original scoring of 228 – 0. The decision was final. All of TKC’s points have been nullified including the -50 tag penalty. MT2 also got a penalty for Jose’s faulty tag.
