Editing 2023 WCPL season (section)

== Formats and organisation ==
The WCPL's contemporary competition guide described ten-player capture-the-flag games played on woodland and mound fields. Its standard programme specified twelve-minute games and eight preliminary games per team, although individual event listings could specify different arrangements.[3]

Mechanical markers were encouraged. Electronic markers were permitted with a maximum firing rate of 5.5 balls per second. The league used its own player-ranking arrangements within APPA/PBLeagues and stated that participation would not affect a player's classification at other events using that system.[3]

Each event was administered by its individual promoter. The league explained that entry fees were collected directly by promoters, so payment figures displayed on PBLeagues did not necessarily represent attendance.[3]

=== Professional classification ===
The league's earlier FAQ proposed identifying professional teams from the 2022 standings for the following season.[4] However, the published 2023 season standings use '''Open 10v10''', and the Montressor Classic registration likewise lists an Open division.[1][5]

The recorded results therefore support an Open season standings table. They do not establish a separate 2023 professional championship or a confirmed list of promoted professional teams.
