We often get asked about the website www.worldwidewig.co.uk which is sometimes known as W6, so it's worth putting some information here to help.
FAQ 1 - Do you have rules?
Yes
FAQ 2 - Really?
Yes we do. We really have rules.
FAQ 3 - Why do you have rules?
We could explain at length why we need rules to keep a balance between legality, common sense and ethical Wig play, but we won’t. Just accept that there are rules. OK?
FAQ 4 - What are the rules?
Please refer to the section "The Rules".
FAQ 5 - I have read the rules and my submission seems to have been scored incorrectly.
Please note that the rules are there to be broken by the Wig High Council. You must abide by them, but when it comes to scoring we can deviate or add to them at any time without notice.
FAQ 6 - So what’s the point of rules?
Wow, this is a tough one. Think of them as guidelines that can shift as rapidly as a whale in a blizzard. Now imagine that the Wig High Council get involved, put the whale on a slippery slope, lubricate it with goose fat and give it a friendly push. You don’t know where it might end up, but it’s still a large aquatic mammal isn’t it. I hope that clears it up.
FAQ 7 - Why do you give bonus points if there is a clock in the photo?
Please refer to the ‘Quick Reference Score Guide’
The Rules
Rule 1: Keep it clean to make the scene
Whilst we at the World Wide Wig welcome all submissions you should note the following rules apply:You should only send us submissions that you'd be prepare to show your grandmother.We'll only add submissions that we are prepared to show our grandmother. She's 87, very frail and easily shocked. If we feel that your entry is not suitable then we might track down your grandmother and show her what you've been up to.We reserve the right to alter your submission in anyway we see fit for the public domain viewing of our website.
Rule 2: Bonus Points
Each accepted entry will automatically be awarded 50 big shiny points (herein and thereafter referred to as "BSP"). In addition, extra bonus points may be awarded based on the contents of the submission. See "Quick reference Score Guide" for full details
Rule 3: Penalty Points
Each accepted entry may also be penalised based on it content. See "Quick reference Score Guide" for full details
Rule 4: Legality, Danger and Consequences
Please note that whilst we enjoy the risqué nature of certain photos, we at World Wide Wig accept no responsibility for your actions in pursuit of the ideal Wiggy. All consequences of Wigging are your own problem. We do not condone illegal actions (and although we all enjoyed watching The Italian Job starring Michael Caine, the movie is looking a little dated now).
