I know it is a side tournament and there are teams, but that is about all I know. Is someone willing to enlighten me on this subject? deedeedee

ok, the link i made took you to a page that doesn't exist.

WPL stands for "world photography league." it was started as a team-based way to compete in dpchallenges.

they're in the middle of a season now. we are working on making it an "official" part of the site.

Kind of like MLB or NFL. Here is how it works.

The League is called the World Photography League (a.k.a WPL)
-There are two inter leagues
--World League and Global League
-Each inter league has two divisions
--Division A and Division B
-Each Division has six teams
-Each team has seven photographers

The top four team from each division move on to the playoffs which is bracketed, single elimination.

Regular season is five weeks and followed by four weeks of playoffs.

As far as next season goes, the start time is undetermined as of now. The WPL will be incorporated into DPChallenge.com and all the variables are being worked out as we speak.

Hope that helps.

Don't hide. You were brave enough to ask the question. You're not a dork, you're my hero. ;)

I am not hiding. bring it on Leroy:P

I don't mind asking questions when I do not know the answer. Thanks for the info Leroy. Now, who has a team for me to join? I don't have the best scores but they are getting better.

On a different note...I am shooting some promo shots for a local band today. They have gained access to a video studio and we will be shooting there. One of the guys had mentioned a lighthouse near the studio and would like to do some shots there as well. Does anyone have a spare fisheye that I can have?:) Wish me luck. My first real shoot.

See this thread. We're not forming new teams until we have the new structure in place.

Can we form the new teams aside from the formation of the DPC structure? Then we can forward the information to you guys. Just an idea.

WPL4 is closed to new participants, as the season has already started. As for what will happen in the future for WPL, well, that's being worked out. Any suggestions? :)
