The scoop on WPL 5 - DPChallenge Forums

03/30/2007 10:37:30 AM · #1

What IS the scoop? I know there was a thread about DPChallenge incorporating it into this site instead of it being a standalone entity.

I've seen some (in various forum threads) mention that it's not going to be up and ready until 2008. At the same time we have the same fever pitch going on as WPL 4 winds down with team recruiting, new teams, etc...

Any estimates on time frame? Any word on where WPL 5 is in the planning stages?

I think you need to have a good read of this thread first :o) As for what's going on behind the scenes, the SC (inc D&L and Scott&Tom) are currently working on the details. Oh, and it'll definitely be this year, not 2008 ;o)

Thanks Ben. Yes, I was familiar with that thread. The last post was about 6 weeks ago, there was also a survey on the home page for awhile. The forum thread you mention leaves more questions hanging than answers (structure of WPL, number of teams, when it will start, etc...).

I thought it would be nice to know what's going on - basically a status update. Questions from the community about WPL 5 are sure to start soon since WPL 4 is finishing up.
