WFR XIII Draft is around the Corner Literally !
If you want to register WFR Team for WFR XIII please click here and fill in form
Your Team will be included into a New "Conference Three" WOULD love to see more EUROPEAN Teams from Italy , France etc…
But first some House Keeping ….
Attached is your Team Form Guide for WFR XIII
You may Notice you have 1 or 2 players Missing , this is because WFR has found they have retired
Or are injured and are not playing for a period of time
Please check your form guide and if you notice any of your players are retired please inform WFR Immediately.
Also You will Notice a new Column "CONTRACTS" at the far left of your Form Guide
This is a new (OLD) idea for WFR to get us back to the Old Days of WFR
How Will This Happen ?
You Can Contract a player for between 1 and 3 WFR Seasons.
If you Train A Player while on Contract his SALARY will NOT Increase until his Contract is completed.
This allows you to train Players with out Salary Penalty.
And the CATCH ! always is one ;o) , If a Player you have on Contract is released early or retires with time remaining on the contract your club must continue to pay this player till the end of the contract. Meaning you would as example PLAYER A has 300,000 dollar contract Retires or is transferred you must continue to pay his 300,000 for remainder of contract meaning you have 300,000 less in salary cap available the following WFR Season.
This also applies to players who become injured in Real life and Must be removed from your squad.
(In the event that WFR Miss a Injury or Retirement and WFR Believe you Knew and Continue to play this player a Fine of DOUBLE that Players Salary will be imposed which will also be taken of your Salary Cap the Following season PLUS a CLUB fine (to be Determined) charge to your clubs Finances.)
Also as WFR XII was a great Success and great relaunch.. a couple of Changes are in place , Mainly in the Divisional Status. All Conferences will be 12 Teams and same fixture format as WFR XII
PLAYER RELEASE'S
For the current 24 Teams in WFR you can release up to 6 players if you want ….
Which means all teams must retain a minimum of 24 players …
When sending through your release's they will NOT BE ACTIONED unless sent as follows:
Email Subject : 'YOUR TEAM NAME" Player Release's & Contracts
Email BODY:
"Your Team Name" release's the following Players:
Player A
Player B
Player C
Player D
Player E
Player F
"Your Team Name" Signs the Following Contracts:
Player G – 1 Season
Player H – 2 Season's
Player I – 3 Season's
Etc
Etc
In the event you have had players removed due to retirement/Injury you Must still retain 24 Players Minimum.
Again IF The Above player release/contract is not sent 100% as above the request will not be actioned
After the player releases are made and contracts are signed you will receive updated form guide with outline of how much salary cap is available to purchase new players.
The Free Agent List will be updated and sent out with a time set to begin WFR XIII Draft so this gives everyone a chance to send in their selections ( Possibly 2 – 3 Days to check Free Agents)
Again it will be first in First served so have your selections ready with a few back ups in mind if you miss out on a player. (Full details when Draft Begins)
WFR XIII Will be run in Divisional Format As Follows:
Premier Conference : Top 6 Teams from North and South Divisions Qualify,
(With the Demise of Bournemouth WFR Went to the 7th Place Teams from NTH / STH , they were London and Pen Whalers , Peninsula Whalers Had the better Season Record in WFR XII so Shall take Bournemouth's place.)
Conference TWO: Remaining teams from NTH / STH with the inclusion of New Side The Southern Swashbucklers from Otago NZ.
Conference Three: ALL NEW SIDES (12 Required)
We can add More Conference as required.
SALARY CAP

"Only the Top 3 Teams at end of season in Conference Play Will be promoted"
Even if as example 6th Place qualifier wins Pennant.
