Game Rules
- A game of record (“GOR”) refers to a game where all ten players have loaded, and which has progressed to a point of meaningful interaction between opposing teams. Once a game attains GOR status, the period ends in which incidental restarts may be permitted and a game will be considered as “official” from that point onward. After the establishment of GOR, game restarts will be allowed only under limited conditions.
Examples of conditions which establish GOR:- Any attack or ability is landed on: minions, jungle creeps, structures, or enemy champions.
- Line-of-sight is established between players on opposing teams.
- Setting foot, establishing vision or targeting skill shot ability in the opponent’s jungle by either team, which includes either leaving the river or entering brush connected to the enemy jungle.
- Game timer reaches two minutes (00:02:00).
- No 4v5 Play: Teams are required to field a full Team of five Players to start a Match. If a Player disconnects during a Game, a Team may continue play after the pause-allowance is exhausted to attempt to complete the Game
- Pause Allowance: Teams may pause the Game for a maximum of 10 minutes over the course of a single Game, or 20 minutes over the course of a Match. Pausing beyond allowance-time will be considered unfair play.
Scheduling of Weekly Matches
The rescheduling of weekly matches is allowed. In so far as a rescheduled match takes place during the originally scheduled week. It is the responsibility of the team who could not compete on the originally scheduled date, to reschedule a mutually agreeable new date. If a new date within the originally scheduled week cannot be agreed upon by each coach, the team who could not compete on the originally scheduled date will suffer the loss, the other team will get the forfeit.
Stoppage of Play
- If a player intentionally disconnects without notifying a coach or pausing, a coach is not required to enforce a stoppage.
- Directed Pause. Coaches may order the pause of a match or execute a pause command on any player station at the sole discretion of the coaches, at any time.
- Player Pause. Players may only pause a match immediately following any of the events described below but must signal a head coach prior to pausing and identify the reason. Acceptable reasons include:
- An Unintentional Disconnection
- A hardware or software malfunction (e.g. monitor power or peripheral disability or game glitch) Player illness, injury, or disability is not an acceptable reason for a player pause. In such a situation, the team must alert the coaches, who may in his/her sole discretion, grant a pause in order to evaluate the identified player to determine whether player is ready, willing, and able to continue playing within a reasonable period of time, as determined by the coaches, but not to exceed a few minutes.
- Resuming the Game. Players are not permitted to resume the game after a pause. After clearance from the coaches is issued and all players are notified and ready at their stations, which will be contingent on each team captain confirming through in-game chat that both teams are ready to resume play.
- Unauthorized Pause. If a player pauses or unpauses a game without permission from the coaches, it will be considered unfair play and penalties will be applied at the discretion of league officials.
