Welcome to the WWL (World Warriors League)! We are a dedicated group that plays together on Wednesday and Thursday nights and our goal is to bring players of all different skill levels together so that everyone can grow, meet new friends, and generally kick (or slap, or knee, or fireball, or uppercut, or? oh you probably get the idea) each other?s asses.
Every Wednesday begins with pool play. Each person plays each other person in their pool in a best 2 out of three games format. Each game consists of a best of three rounds affair with standard timing (speed 3). Winning your set nets you three points, winning one game nets you one point, and you get zero points for going 0-2. For EST and CST participants, pool play starts at 8:00 EST / 7:00 CST. For PST / MST participants pools start at 9:00 MST / 8:00 PST. Pools are more closely organized to reduce lag. Pools will usually consist of either 8 or 10 players and we allow for 12 minutes in-between each match. The pool lists will generally be posted no later than Friday morning for the next Wednesday?s pool play. All results should be e-mailed to our league’s e-mail address. The subject line should have your gamertag and your pool information. In the e-mail you should have each person you played against, what character you played, who they played and the outcome W2-0, W2-1, L0-2, or L1-2. If you have to drop before an event, please try to give at least 24 hours notice on this forum. If you drop three times without notice you?ll be put on a league suspension for at least one event.
For our top scorers, on Thursday we will have a tournament (and depending on the week, the size of the tournament may vary). The initial match-ups will be posted here. All tournaments are double elimination / best 2 of 3 (like pool play) / best 3 of 5 grand finals. For everyone who qualifies for the tournament, you?ll be sent an excel spreadsheet Tuesday morning detailing the tournament brackets to your e-mail address, if we don’t have your e-mail address we can’t send you your bracket so please send an e-mail to use and make sure we have your gamertag so we can get these out to you timely. Tuesday tournaments begin at 10:30 EST / 7:30 PST. Every tournament match will be in 15 minute intervals. On the spreadsheet, put the number of games won by each player in the appropriate spaces and excel will direct your name to the next match. The top player on whatever bracket is 1P and the bottom is 2P. 1P has the responsibility to send an invite. If no invite is received within 3 minutes, 2P should send a notice. If 5 minutes have passed and your opponent is not present, you win. Each tournament match is numbered. After you note your spreadsheet, please post a quick reply on SRK detailing your match number, who you played (the gamer tag of your opponent) and the characters played. This will allow players the opportunity to quickly fill out the rest of their spreadsheet with other results going on in the tournament so they can quickly identify their next opponent (with the extra requirements I thought 15 minutes over the normal 12 would be best).
We have plenty of plans to grow and expand the league in the future, but for now, if you can? record your matches. Some people have been extremely gracious in offering to record matches and we have some already. Everyone who records matches should contact me and I will provide a username and password to our WWL SF4 Youtube channel where the matches can be uploaded.
Based on these results we?ll keep a season long score to see who have consistently been our best players. With the addition of SF4 to the WWL our total league score will go across games! So if you play HDR on Mondays and Tuesdays, those points will go towards your total league score, SF4 will also go towards your league score and we will update those scores after each event. As the league grows and opportunities arise we?ll have special events and hopefully be able to offer some prizes and such to our top players and maybe some random drawings for prizes for everyone who participates in our league. Every WWL season basically lasts for a quarter of the season and will always end with a very large open invitational (that will be on a weekend). We hope that these large, open events, will bring more people into our league for our regular play and our large open finale will be worth double league points. Seeding for that tournament will be based first on league results, so league members are guaranteed higher seeds. The more often you play, the more league points you?ll acquire? it?s that simple.

If you are interested in signing up for the league, please feel free to send me a private message here on SRK, a message on XBOX Live, or an e-mail to worldwarriorsleaguesf4@gmail.com. Please include your XBOX gamer tag, your timezone, a brief bio about yourself, who your main character is, and maybe some interesting information about your play style. If you’re already in the league, please submit the information listed above and feel free to invite others! Feel free to also sign up for our HDR play on Mondays and Tuesdays!
There is no cost to entering this league. All we ask is that if you commit that you be there if possible on Wednesday and if you qualify, Thursday nights. You are not expected to compete every week. You can come and go as you please, we understand this is real life and people have schedules and things come up? HOWEVER, if you are signed up in the league, by default your name will be entered for whatever weeks events, unless you tell me ahead of time you can?t participate so if you know that you can?t play the next week, just let me know. So good luck everyone, have fun, meet new friends, and kick (or slap, or knee, or fireball, or uppercut, or? oh yes, I went there again?) each other?s asses!
ALSO, if you are going to play in the league, please add ‘WWL SF4’ to your friends list. This will be the dummy account which will have all of our SF4 league members on one list so you can find them at any time! This way you’ll also know if for some reason someone is a no show! Good luck everyone!
