• First team to 13 rounds won wins the match


• Losing team reports the loss.


• If a match goes into OT, do NOT report the match, just post in match coms, Team X won in OT so we can report it properly.


• Winning team is responsible for confirming the match result and have 6 days to dispute it. If you dont check it, and find out later, we will not go back and change it.


• Rankings are fluid, record/points determines week to week where you are ranked.


• Results and rankings determines who you play the next week.


• You no show, you're removed from the league. YOU must request to be reinstated, we wont try to track you down.


• You get 1 reinstatement, after that, you're gone completely if you don't show up again!


• A no show win points = 5 points plus 12 RW


• Rosters locked the night after your week 6 match.


• League matches must be played on league assigned map, no switching.


• Preseason play is not required


• Late team joins are allowed until week 2 is scheduled, with the exception of keeping an even number of teams in league to facilitate match scheduling.


• No late join makeup matches. In the scheduling and points, you have time to still climb up the tiers.


• League matches must be played on League night) OR any day prior to the match if agreed in match comms. If both teams don't agree, then its default night.


• Default match time is always 9:30 EST (TWL time) unless both teams expressly agree to change the match time in match coms


• Both teams need to post Steam ID info as soon as possible. Being home or visiting team has no obligation to "provide a server or forfeit".


• Home team will have server choice or can defer server choice for round 1 side selection. (if Home defers for side choice, and for some reason the other team has a server issue and the match must be moved to Home teams listed server, Home team retains Round 1 side choice, if no team has a legit server to play in, the match will be killed and no point awared.)


• Home team must announce in match coms at least 24 hours before match if they want server selection, or instead want side choice. They must give side/server they choose at this time also. If they fail to say anything, they waive the right to defer server for side.


• Demos are required for all play including preseason. If you cant/wont demo, you are not legal to play the match and it could result in your team being removed from the league.


• Players must be on roster by the day before match with a proper GUID to play, however, noone can play on 2 different teams, in the same league, at the same time, for any reason at any time (meaning if you play for Pro you can not play for open). You can leave 1 team to go to another, but you can't then go back to your original team. See Smurfing Rule


• If your match is to be casted, you can't refuse, and we will facilitate getting the casters whatever they need to have a successful cast.


• In the event there is an odd number of active teams in the league the team with the lowest points total that lost the previous week will have a bye week. We will strive our utmost to make sure this doesnt happen.

In the event of a no show, the team that attended gets win points because they "fought" the match uncontested. All this is done to stop a noshow match from hurting a participating team. Realistically it doesn't alter their ranking beyond what they would have normally played because the match scheduling is based on rankings, it will self adjust. If it "climbs" a team too high in the rankings, they will lose the next week and will then adjust down in the rankings. If a team "climbs" up in the rankings due to a no-show win and they continue to win, then they belong higher up and nothing is hurt.

The main goal is to keep things logically moving. Teams that suffer the misfortune of having their opponent no-show wont then have to scramble to find just any available team to play, it screws the rankings because of strength of schedule.

A team that no shows gets removed from the league and immediately placed back to the pending queue. Admins will NOT persue them to rejoin the league. The team moved must contact the admin staff. If 5 days goes by and the status has not been changed, the team is removed from the pending queue and the league completely and not allowed to rejoin until the next league season.
