Hi guys,
quick question.
Site cards up until Shadows have a site number.
How are sites being handled in Open Format, Standard Format and so on, where some editions have site numbers and others don't?
In such formats:
Are printed site numbers to be ignored?
So as a result: can any site be placed anywhere on the path (regardless of the site number)?
The rules document doesn't exactly answer that question.

You don't use sites with numbers in Open, Standard or similar formats. The rules about choosing a site, adding twilight for region etc. apply only to numberless sites.
For official formats, you always use the most recent site path in a given format. For example, if you're playing with Fellowship and Towers cards, you use Towers sites. If you're playing sets 1-7 (7 being the first ROTK set), you use King sites. As soon as you involve set 11 (Shadows) you use numberless sites.
You never mix numberless sites with sites that have numbers, since the rules regarding them are fundamentally different.

Okay, I see.
What sites are used in WotR Standard and Standard / Open / Expanded?
According to what you said, I'd say King Block sites (WotR Standard) and Hunter's Block (Standard / Open / Expanded)?
Am I correct in assuming that the rules regarding sites, that include extra twillight tokens in different regions, only apply to games where sites without numbers are used?

(Up.)

Post-shadows (numberless) sites are used from set 11 onwards. Since WOTR standard is 4-14, it'll be sites from shadows and onwards. Standard is 7-19, which is also shadows and onwards. Open and Expanded are the same. All these formats are shadows and beyond, so they use sites from shadows and beyond.
Am I correct in assuming that the rules regarding sites, that include extra twillight tokens in different regions, only apply to games where sites without numbers are used?
Correct.
