Because not all territorial conquests happen on the field.
Territory Mapping SoftwareHow WHA Territory Conquest Works
- Every team starts with the land closest to its arena.
- Win a game and you take all of the loser's territory.
- Territory carries over all season, with no resets until next year.
- Click any territory to trace every team that held it.
