Rule changes;

3-Man Defence Rule.

A captain may come to us if anything untoward happens during a game. We will review the replay and act based on what we see. The punishments may vary, but will always be based on the following template;

Should a team defend with 4 players during a goal scoring opportunity and it is defended successfully, a goal will be awarded to the attacking team.

Should a player clearly break the 3-man rule and it is not during a goal scoring opportunity, they may face a one match suspension. More severe suspensions may happen if the breach is more severe & continual.

Should a team continually(could be 3 to 5 times depending on severity of the breach) breach the rule, they will be awarded a 3-0 deflose.



The removal of match admins.

Captains will now need to submit results for approval along with a replay confirming the result, failure to provide a replay as proof may result in the fixture being voided. They will also need to provide a list of goalscorers and assisters. Failure to provide these stats may result in them not being statted. Replays will also be required for proof of stats.



In the instance of clear lag.

In the event of a game being interrupted by unplayable amounts of lag, screenshot evidence can be presented and the game can be forced to be replayed. Note that the lag must have effected a larger majority of players for this to happen. Therefore multiple evidence must be provided from multiple players.



Retirement & Captains.

The retirement time will be extended from 20 matchdays to a full season. Retirement during or just before off-season will count for the coming season and not the season just gone.

Captains should only be allowed to leave a team via retirement. In which case the vice captain will take full control of the team until the off-season when a new permanent captain will be elected.

If the other team is defending with 4 players, it's very unlikely the other team will score, which makes the attack not being a goal scoring opportunity. Isn't a clear goal scoring opportunity usually counter-attack consisting of 2v1 or 3v1?

Does this apply to streamed matches?

Roster size limits have now been increased to 10. This is optional and shouldn't be used as a form of player hoarding. Please try to avoid signing that many players unless you absolutely must.

Retirement time limits have been removed. The team that the player retires from will now have first option to sign the retired player should they come out of retirement.

Cut limits have been removed. All teams now have unlimited cuts.

The playoffs have been removed. The bottom 2 teams from division 1 will be relegated, the top 2 teams from division 2 will be promoted.

• We want to keep a replay of every game and therefore we have made it a requirement for a game to be recorded if the score is to be acknowledged.
  
  

  1.24 A replay of every game must be supplied for the result to count. Failure to supply a replay will result in the match being replayed.

  
  
• The point in which a cut, sign or trade is complete has now been fully defined as:
  
  

  When a sign has been fully completed with the captain's and player's agreements; when a cut has been fully completed with the captain's agreement; when a trade has been fully completed with both captains' agreement.

  
  
• The deadline for a cut, sign or trade on match days has been moved to 7pm.
  
  

  6.7 On match days a sign or trade must be finalised before 19:00 GMT for the player to be eligible for that night's games.
