So it is clear from the beginning, SBWI has the need to explain the use of their funds. With that, they will individually appropriate their generous contribution to this league. This way, players get paid according to their input of effort. Because of those circumstances, each team leader will be required to create and send in a point system based on player results before the first nation war is played. These point systems will be displayed publicly not only for the purpose of records, but for as incentive and reminder for each nation's players. A quick example of a point system would be 1/2 point for showing, 1 point for losing, 3 points for winning. It is that simple.

Team selection
So, this part is going to tell you how to get involved with your respective nation. Certain nations have been recalculated for balancing purposes, so please, if you're not on one of the solo nations, scroll up and find out where your country is listed. If you are not listed, then you should post here with your countries name and we will add it in where fitting. Now that you've identified your team, you can apply for it. This can be done through this thread, your nation's TeamLiquid thread, or privately with the leader of your team (Leaders will be selected based on individual merit within the next week or so and MUST post in the thread for their candidacy to be considered). If you have been recruited onto your nation's team, the team leader will have to be the one to confirm this to the organizers, not the player. Leaders have all executive decisions in their own teams on a managerial level.

9) If a player disconnects from a game due to internet issues and/or launcher issues, the player may be re-entered or subbed out. If the player is re-entered and drops a second time, the set will be counted as a loss by W.O.
10) IP conflicts between players will be handled on a case-to-case basis.
11) There will be no PP matches unless scheduled a minimum of 24 hours beforehand with LRM)Game.
12) The use of an incorrect map will result in a draw for the set, both players will be banned from their next Nation War. (Rule #8 applies for rigged maps)

14) Only team leaders are to communicate with the league commissioner over implementable concerns about the league.

21) If you have any questions about the rules, you must contact Game, not knowing the rules or misinterpreting them is not an excuse.
Why are you still here?
I have waited for you to DISAPPEAR from the Brood War forums like a little WUSS. I thought denouncing your steer-like lack of CAJONES since the "Death of Brood War" would have broken your fragile, MALNOURISHED SPIRIT. For some time, your BABY-SOFT PSYCHE has been SIEGE TANK'D with "Goodbye Brood War" threads from DOOMSDAY PROPHETS of biblical proportions: BUT YOU HAVE NOT FALTERED.
Or maybe you are just a NEWBORN who came into the WRONGEST OF ALLEYS looking for TRUE ESPORT because you found the first HAIR ON YOUR BACK and want to play with the BIG BOYS now?
While the NANCY BOYS have run home to play SC2 because "I can't get past D-" you have gone for the jugular like a RABID DOG, and brought all the 2 GATE MANLOTNESS you could muster. With uninhibited observations about their SPINELESS DEMEANOR that would shame any parent into disowning such an EMBARRASSING ACCIDENT, you demand MORE SKILL, MORE PASSION and MORE GLORY.
You are the loudest in the crowd when spotting a DEEP SIX and you live off of the BLOOD, SWEAT and INEFFECTIVE APM (tears) that only can come after Sziky rips appart your mineral line with 2 frikkin' lings. 2 FRIKKIN' LINGS.
Naniwa? You've never heard of him. Stephano? Unfit to shine your boots. Every day you play you reinvent the wheel. And when you do, you not only reinvent it. You put on Ion Thrusters, cover it with spikes and roll over another GRANDMA'S HOUSE. For you and I are the same. We have understood what millions COULD NOT.
To us the death of marines is MUSIC. The 37 kill Reaver is ART. To all of us who persevered and who will continue to thirst for Master Class Brood War I now proudly present the Swedish Brood War Initiative's first sponsorship:
"the SBWI's Nation Wars".
Teammates will do battle FOR THE GLORY OF THEIR MOTHERLANDS while fulfilling the secret FREUDIAN WET DREAMS that have twisted your OVERMIND since 1998. Now PINCH yourself, because:
This is going to be RAW.
This is going to be BRUTAL.
This is going to be BROOD WAR.
