There is no outcasts logo, just text. You DO see the link I provided to a GIF in my DPC portfolio right? I presume a GIF is what you wanted... It's only 5.9K...

I will go look. I haven't see it yet.

I will try to post some rules here. TomFoolery can add or change.

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

2. Knowing that each photograph can not guarantee that they can participate in a challenge every week no team will be penalized because they do not have seven photographers that week. The team AVG will be divided by the number of photographers participating that week. However there is a minimum of four photographers required or you will forfeit and your opponent will receive the win even if there score is lower than yours.

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 teams avg will be divided as if the DQ'ed photographer participated. Example if all seven photographers participated and one was DQ'ed the the avg. 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 in another.

5. Any photographer can be in any challenge. All photographers on the team can be in different challenges. This will allow R-Users to participate with Members.

6. After five weeks there will be a winner in each division and one wild-card from the remaining teams to go to the playoffs. The division winning team with the highest avg will have a bi-week while the other division winner that avg lower plays the wild-card team. The winner of that will play the highest division winner for the championship.

Any questions, suggestions, or add rules welcome.

How we gonna deal with the fact that some of us enter two challenges a week, even more when the special challenges are up? Can a team member use his best score of the week?

I brought that up with TomFoolery and he said that the photographer would have to state which challenge they are going to tie to the WPL. I personally think that will be hard to police and believe it would be ok to take your best scoring challenge.

That way the site update will be midnight Tuesday.

Makes sense to me, encourages more participation altogether. Might even encourage a few registered members to become full members.

There's anyway no way to choose in advance which one you want to count, cuz you may have no clue what your tuesday shot's gonna look like when you submit your sunday shot. Though I guess if your sunday shot is tanking, you could call your tuesday shot before entering it? Lot of policing though. Too much bother. Let it be best score of the two.

Thanks, but I'm gonna have to work on that. Not showing well on the black BG. I'll have another one with different colors tomorrow OK? Since everyone else is doing JPG, I may as well also, since I'll probably box it in this time.

Little bit confused with the rules regarding different challenges ? Isn't it the case that some challenges score a much higher average score then others, shouldn't we keep the playing field even.

Well if we did that then the teams with Registered users could not participate in a members challenge.

It just isn't that important. The only way to have a completely level field is to require everyone to compete in the same challenges, and this means it would have to be open challenges, and we'd lose a lot of our entrants that way because a bunch of these people don't even enter open challenges as a rule.

This whole thing is just for fun and bragging rights, I vote for keeping it loose and feel-good...

I will be doing that (probibly tommorrow).

We know in five weeks we can only play five teams so the teams from the world division will be playing teams from the global division. What I want to do is go to each members profile and get there "Avg score received" as of now to get the teams beginning average. And I will try to place teams close to each other by averages. Hope that makes since.

That is for week one. Then each team will play the remaining teams in the opposite division until week complete week 5.

Thats why I was asking people to list there team in the thread with links to your team photographers. It will make it easier for me to get the information I need.
