GAME PLAY

Lost Connection During Game Play

Your Internet connection speed makes a big difference in your online gaming experience. To participate in our league you must have a minimal connection speed of 4 Mbps this will ensure minimal lagging during gameplay. If a game freezes, disconnects or desyncs and a player is up 21 points that player can either elect to take the sim win or decide one of the following actions:

1. restart the game with the score intake.
2. restart the game and start (0 - 0)
3. decide to give the opponent with the lead the force win (W).
4. try and play at a later time (if still within the 48 hour window).
5. allow the commish to force sim the game at time of advance.

Whatever decision is made the commish must be notified at the completion of the game. If the decision is made that it will be a force win or loss, then a chat message must be sent detailing a sim win or sim loss with the name of the team receiving that action.

Playing CPU

A team unoccupied by another player is considered a CPU team. We encourage you to play those games. If a CPU team is on your schedule and you choose not to play that game, the game results will be simulated and you are at risk of losing. Games against CPUs are eligible for no more than three restart attempts. Players not following this rule will be ridiculed and disciplined. Those that violate this rule more than once will be removed from the league.
