I.P. Rules and Regulations
I.P. Commitment
By signing up for a league with the I.P. you are making a 9-12 game commitment. Withdrawing from the league mid- season without sufficient personal reasons and without notifying the I.P. management will earn you a ban from the league.
Etiquette
Forum etiquette. Trash talking in the forums is fine, maybe even encouraged, but there will be no blatant insults thrown around. We will also not tolerate any racism.
In-Game etiquette. In-game anything goes. Turn 16 foul, stalling, attempting to clear the pitch, all are viable tactics. There will be no tolerance for using game bugs though. If for instance you notice that you have the “12th man” bug, take that 12th player and move him in the corner of the end zone and do not make any plays with that player.
League Format
In the regular season, points are awarded 3 for a win 1 for a tie 0 for a loss.
Any tie breaker situations where 2 or more teams are tied on points at the end of the regular season will go as follows:
1) H2H
2) TD Diff
3) Least losses
4) Least TD's conceded
5) Most TD's scored
6) Most Cas inflicted
7) Coin toss
Top teams from the regular season move on to a knockout playoff tourney.
Winner of the Playoff Tournament will be crowned I.P. Champion for that specific league.
Also of note in the play-offs, the admins reserve the right to substitute teams if a coach drops or has real life issues and cant complete his match. NO automatic bye weeks in the play-offs.
Match Scheduling
Scheduling takes place in the official scheduling threads. These threads will be used to determine if one coach receives a concession win or if the match is a tie. If a match does not get played and neither coach has posted in these threads then the match will be set as a tie. If one coach post and there is no answer from the other coach then the game will be set as a 2-0 win. If you have two unexplained missed games you will be removed from the league.
Inducements
We allow the full range of inducements and stadium upgrades.
Conceding Matches
BE ADVISED, YOU ARE NO LONGER AUTHORIZED TO CONCEDE ONCE PER SEASON. STICK THE MATCH OUT, YOU SISSY!
Disconnects
Disconnects will happen, the game is not always completely stable. PMs should be sent to I.P. admins from both coaches stating what happened and when. If a coach believes that the disconnect was intentional, the admins will need to be PMed and sent the replay for review. We will then make a ruling. The best way to handle these matters is for the coaches to agree on what they want to do, i.e. if you want to reset and “simulate” the game up to the point of disconnect, that needs to be agreed upon by the coaches.
New Teams
New teams to the league will have played no games and have no SPPs.
