King of the Hill - from the horses mouth.
Guys it's ever so simple really, when you want to know the answer to a specific question, ask someone who knows.
Qualification for the KotH is based around a teams status and skill level.
Teams that we would deen as Novice and new entry:
New Entry - are teams of new players, not a re badged squad that have been playing together for less than 1 year.
Novice Teams - are teams that have been around for more than a year, and sometimes more but are inconsistant with their results.
Teams are allowed one guest player, but only if from a sister team, and not a "pro" player.
All these things considered, once a team wins Koth three times, that team is then excluded from future Koth events.
For the record,
Ben who are the "proper" teams you refer to?
Blakey.
