Did some editing on the rules for ya:

Provisional Rules: subject to change or amendment prior to the start of competition

1. The WPL contains two Divisions, World and Global. Each division has five teams and each team has seven photographers.

2. Knowing that not every photographer will be able to participate in a challenge every week, no team will be penalized because they do not have tseven photographers entered in a given week.

The AVERAGES of the team's partcipating photographers in a given week will be added, and the total will be divided by the number of participating photographers to determine the TEAM AVERAGE for that week.

At least 4 photographers on a team must participate each week. If fewer than 4 photographers on a team particpate in a given week, that team will forfeit their match and their opponent will receive the win even if their team average is lower than the forfeiting team's.

3. If a team has a photographer DQ'ed under DPChallenge rules then the DQ'ed photographer will receive a score of 0.0000 and the team's average will be calculated as if the DQ'ed photographer had participated. Example: if all seven photographers participated and one was DQ'ed the the team total will still be divisible by seven. NOT six.

4. Teams vs. Teams does not have to be in the same challenge. One team may be in one challenge while another team is in another.

5. Any photographer can be in any challenge for which they are eligible. All photographers on the team can be in different challenges. This will allow R-Users to participate with Members. If a photographer enters more than one challenge per week, the team score will be calculated using that photographer's higher score.

6. After five weeks there will be a winner in each division, and one wild-card from the remaining teams will join the winners in the playoffs. The division winning team with the highest average will have a bye-week while the other division winner plays the wild-card team. The winner of that match will play the highest division winner for the championship.

I thought about asking BobsterLobster but after looking at his profile it appears his work is taking him away from challenges some. You're right - he would be a great asset to the team. ;^)

Bobster, if you're listening and feel like playing - jump on in! ;^)
