LEAGUE RULES

start date: MAY 2015

League Director: LethalHoudini
2nd: Hellsbells

GAME WEEKS
Game weeks will run Tuesday midnight EST to Tuesday Midnight EST
Season 2 will be 15 weeks

GAMES MUST NOT BE PLAYED EARLY IE BEFORE THE LEAGUE IS ADVANCED

THIS IS A FAIR PLAY LEAGUE PLEASE THINK OF YOUR OPPONENT IF YOU HAVE A COMFORTABLE LEAD IN THE GAME THEN PLEASE BACK OFF A LITTLE AND PASS THE BALL AROUND ETC.  I CONSIDER A 3 TO 4 GOAL LEAD/WIN AMPLE.

Twitch feeds are are a useful way to keep track of how things are going etc and it would be nice if all players broadcasted their games.  This gives me info on star ratings etc etc.

TEAM SELECTION
Newer players to Fifa 3.5 star teams
More experienced players can not pick 3.5 star teams
Example:
Bondzai & Perry = 3.5 Star Team
Chelsea, Luongo & Del = 3 Star Team

Order of Team Picks
Example
Perry
Bondzai
Chelsea
Luongo
Del

LEAGUE SPEED: 2 GAMES A WEEK MINIMUM.  If games are up to date early the league will be advanced
MATCH TYPE - KICK OFF GAME/ONLINE FRIENDLY
MATCHDAY FORM - MUST BE SET TO ON IF POSSIBLE - This will add some variety to how the AI teams perform

HOST
The home team (first name on fixture list) will invite the away team (2nd name on fixture list).  If you have connection issues you are allowed to reverse this.

DISCONNECTS
If you get disconnected in the 1st half of the game you are to start the game again fresh
If you get disconnected in the 2nd half you are to take the first half result and start a new game and play the 1st half of that game and add that score to the 1st half of the first game before the disconnect
Red and yellow cards only count if they are gained in full halves
Example:
disconnect happens in 2nd half Luongo had a yellow card the game half gets restarted and his card does not stand as that half does not count as game time

If a player has to drop out of the league the easiest way for us is to then make that persons team an AI team.  I know this meens that someone could play an AI and someone else could play the same team vs a player but it plays havock with taking results away etc etc.  Hopefully with the group we have we will all see the season out

FAILED GAMES
FAILURE TO PLAY AND POST YOUR RESULTS ON *DEADLINE DAY WILL RESULT IN A 3-0 LOSS FOR YOUR TEAM. IF BOTH TEAMS ARE HUMAN YOU WILL GET A 3-0 LOSS UNLESS YOU CAN PROVE ON THE FORUMS THAT YOU HAVE MADE EVERY EFFORT TO GET THE GAME PLAYED. THERE WILL BE A THREAD MADE FOR GAME FIXTURES ETC.
*Deadline day is Tuesdays midnight eastern time

CARDS: YOU MUST INCLUDE ANY CARDS YOUR PLAYERS GET IN MATCH RESULTS
ACCUMULATIVE CARDS - OBVIOUSLY NOT DURING 1 GAME
4 YELLOWS = 1 MATCH BAN FOR THAT PLAYER AND YOU MUST NOT USE HIM FOR YOUR NEXT GAME
1 RED = 1 MATCH BAN FOR THAT PLAYER AND YOU MUST NOT USE HIM FOR YOUR NEXT GAME
YOU WILL BE INFORMED OF ANY BANNED PLAYERS ONCE YOU HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF A BAN PLAYER HE MUST BE REMOVED FROM YOUR TEAM IN THE NEXT AVAILABLE FIXTURE

Card information is easy to get you can have pen and paper beside you while you play or after the game you can go to the match facts screen.  The only issue with trusting match facts is if you forget and advance its too late.  I suggest both players write down the cards info during the game to be safe.  I have done this before and it works.
