Rules Violations
⚠ We REALLY do not want to have to use these, so please follow the
rules!
-
Players may be issued
cautions
and/or
warnings
for rules violations
-
Players can receive at most 2 cautions; any further cautions issued
under the rules will automatically become warnings instead
-
Every other warning a player receives will result in a
game loss
for the game during which the rules violation encouraging the warning
occurred
Fair Play Violations
To maintain a friendly environment, players are
strongly encouraged to pause the game and point out
fair-play violations rather than attempting to argue over them later and
get players penalized (unless it’s a really egregious violation)
Fair play adjudication procedure:
-
If a player notices a fair play violation in a replay, they may submit
a screenshot to the League Organizer for review (and should identify
the replay)
-
If the League Organizer determines that the violation was minor and
clearly unintentional/due to gameplay confusion, no penalty
-
If the League Organizer determines that the violation was major but
clearly unintentional/due to gameplay confusion, player gets a
caution
-
If the League Organizer determines that the violation was clearly
intentional, player gets a
warning
-
The League Organizer reserves the right to issue warnings to players
who repeatedly submit minor or frivolous gameplay violations
Army Composition Violations
Any army composition violation results in a
caution for the first violation and a
warning for any future violations.
