About WSEL

The Weiss Schwarz European League (referred to herein as WSEL) is a grassroots tournament circuit for Weiss Schwarz players all over Europe. 
WSEL encourages like-minded Weiss Schwarz players to meet up at their local game shop or other locations for competitive play, to have fun and try to earn an invitation to a final event to determine the champion of Europe.

The circuit is structured in such a way that players are encouraged to travel between locations to boost their chances of climbing the ladder, which in turn helps stores to boost their respective communities. Despite this, players can still climb the ladder by only attending their own local events, making it accessible for most players!

A player’s chances of climbing the ladder can be improved by a number of factors, such as the amount of players present and each individual win. These margins are crucial to the amount of points earned, so it’s in everyone’s best interest to get friends involved, attract new players, and promote Weiss Schwarz in general.

WGP France Information Update

2024-10-03 20:04:11

Hello everyone.
Sadly, we had a major inconvenience that jeopardized the WGP happening in France on the 20th of October at the last minute, and we have to move it back from Marignane to Paris.

The event will be held in Epita (14-16 Rue Voltaire, 94270 Le Kremlin-Bicêtre, France). The dates will stay the same. The event will probably start at around 13:00.
We are really sorry to announce that if you had already planned the trip in the South of France.
More than a dozen players from Paris were also affected, but sadly, we could not risk of running the event there this year.

Thank you and hope to see you there!

Hello guys,
our last sanctioned tournaments have been uploaded, and we are ready for the last part of WSEL2024!
Here are some important rules and reminder about incoming tournaments.

Nationals:

  • Nationals from Ladders will use WSEL classic format to play.


WGPs:

  • Every other events WGP qualifiers and Final Events will use JP only cards.
    English Edition cards are not allowed. Even English Exclusive are not allowed. Even English cards identical to JP ones. JP ONLY.
    All Japanese titles are allowed, other than Macross F, Girl Friend Beta, School Girl Strikers, Godzilla, Star Wars, Jojo's, Lost Decade, Marvel, Captain Tsubasa and Disney/Pixar.
    You must follow Construction Rule from Heart of the Cards => https://heartofthecards.com/ws/wgp2024/wgp2024banlist.html {Link updated!}
    To be clear and avoid more questions: if your deck is not legal by these rules, then is not legal for playing in any European WGP.

  • It is mandatory to register the deck (submit the deck list) upon tournament registration. Discrepancies between the deck list and the actual deck used in the tournament may result in a penalty.

  • Players are required to use opaque card sleeves so that the back of cards cannot be easily distinguished. Oversleeves with a Matte finish on one side and Gloss finish on the other side are allowed. However, the Matte finish must be uniform throughout, on either the front or back of the cards. Oversleeves with patterns or borders are not allowed. Sleeves used for all cards must be of the same design.

  • As always, Swiss rounds (best of 1) will be dependent on the number of participants, with cut to Top8. Time for Swiss rounds will be 35 minutes: time-up is counted as a loss for both parties.

  • Top8 will have same time restriction with extra turns as usual. No time restriction from Top4.

  • WGP events will grant WGP Final invitations based on the number of players: 31 players (or less) => TOP1 player | 32 - 63  => TOP2 players | 64 (or more)  => TOP3 players.

  • Remember that WGPs invitation will grant access to both WGP Final and WSEL Final!



Inviations:

  • Invitations (every kind of) will never pass down. You earned it, you deserved it, you keep it... even if you don't need it.

  • If you alredy have a WSEL Final invitation, you can not play during any kind of National. But you can play WGPs, to obtain an invitation for WGP Final.

  • If you alredy have a WGP Final invitation, you can not play during any kind of National or any other WGPs (but you have two Finals to play!).


Join us!


On a side note: I'm leaving WS organized play, so this will be the last WSEL season as we know it at the moment. For the rest of the year, I will let the other staff members to manage events, keeping an eye to be sure that WSEL2024 will come to a smooth end. After that, I'll be off.

By the way, I'm pretty sure the other staff members will surprise you with something new, fresh and better than WSEL.
Stay tuned and help them.

Thank you for following us during all these years: it has been an honor and pleasure.
Diego
