My understanding is, a new WWR league season starts and;

1. you play 5 placement games and get the total Au for obtaining that league placement for this season. i.e. 650 Au is for placement in Diamond 3. (¿¿¿ Which I assume is the total Au one can achieve by working your way up from league level ¿Bronze? to league level D3. ???)

2. gain Au for each new higher league obtained. i.e. I got 120 Au for reaching D2 and 130 Au for reaching D1. Note; you do NOT gain Au for re-obtaining league levels you already had... If you tank to D2 (or lower) and work back up to D1 you get zero league Au for all your troubles!! *see below

3. end of the season, you get an Au reward for your end of the season league level status, i.e. I ended last season in D1 and was awarded 130 Au.

4. the new 30-day season starts, lather, rinse and reuse.

At least that how I see it to be, based on screen shots from the past league season. Hope this helps.

• * this is where the problem with Pico lies, statistics said its easier to get into the top three players per game, and with Au each game, if you play at league levels below what your hanger is rated for. i.e. the new form of seal clubbing
