GENERAL:
• Team names must closely resemble the name listed on the site (e.g., SimplyTheBest).
• Players must have accepted their contract you have sent to be eligible to play for your team
• There are no height or playstyle restrictions
GAME PLAY:
• Teams must have a minimum of 7 players per match unless they have received permission from the league head admin to have fewer.
• An ANY is required only if you have less than 11 players although is recommended you have an ANY in case of lag outs (the ANY cannot be the GK). GK is optional for Main League
• Any formation is allowed.
• Teams have until the 10th in-game minute to back out if needed.
• You can back out twice before the 10th in-game minute. On the 3rd restart, the game must be played regardless.
• Time-wasting, such as holding the ball in the corner, will result in a default loss. Passing around the back does not count.
• Goals scored while a team is backing out will not count. However, if clear evidence shows the team is playing, the goal will stand. To claim a back-out goal, submit a clip to an admin for review after the matches.
• Players must not stand on the line for free kicks. Preventing a goal this way will result in a default loss for the offender.
Any default claim you must provide video evidence of the claims to an admin and only the manager/co-manager can do this. It is at admin discretion whether to award or not. Staff who have a conflicted interest with the match will not be able to make a call!
MANAGER RESPONSIBILITIES:
• Managers must turn up on time and field a team meeting league requirements.
• Managers must post a teamsheet before the scheduled kick-off time on the website.
• A maximum of 10 minutes delay can be requested on scheduled match times.
• Managers must submit scores after matches. The table updates when both managers enter the scores. Ensure scores are entered and evidence of scores is kept in case of disputes. Attempting to fake results will result in a ban at admin discretion.
• Fielding a banned player will result in a default loss for your team.
• As a manager it is your responsibility that your players also follow the rules
Please see the manager guide in discord if you are unsure on how to do any of this
PLAYER RESPONSIBILITIES:
• Players must make themselves available for games unless there is a genuine reason they cannot attend. Anyone who is caught refusing to play will be subject to a league ban of up to 1 month
• Players must take games seriously. Anyone caught deliberately scoring own goals or "messing" around will be banned.
• It is your responsibility to make sure that your gamertag on the website is up-to-date as it may result in a default loss for your team
STATS:
• Anyone caught using a glitched pro or any other exploit will get their team defaulted and themselves banned. If you suspect a team is using glitches then please provide video evidence
• Anyone caught stat boosting will potentially be banned if it is constant and clear. Stats images must be of the whole screen otherwise they will be declined by an admin
All bans are subject to head admin discretion and approved by league directors or above
