  • New clear tabular game plan for all league rounds and matches will be created before beginning of each season in order to inform players about time schedule of the season for purpose of play-in-advace matches in case of longterm absence. Should such a case happen, player has to anounce his absence and its length and will ask for possibilty to play matches in advance but not more than 3 leauge rounds (unless Members of Admins decide otherwise). However, results (screens) of play-in-advance matches will be anounced and counted into Standings chart in proper round terms.
  • League schedule

  • Leauge schedule is based on system each-vs-each, home and away. Season begins in September when registation proces into upcoming season is done. Exact deadline for registration is set by Admins each year in early September. After the list of registerd players is complete, Club Draft begins. Draft is governed by the rules in section Club Draft. According to handiness of players with drafting, new season begins.
  • Rules for playing the match

  • Players have 7 days (1 week) to play a league round, that means 2 matches with one opponent (home-away). New round opens and old one closes always at 23.00 on Sunday
  • In case that any of the leagues match will not be played (and any of the oppenents wil not call for a contumacy) til closing of the league round, the match will be annuled.
  • In case that only one player will come up for the match unilaterally because of an inactive opponent, he has to write his call for a contumacy with justifing commentary to the article about current leageu round. Call can be written till 22.00 on Sunday (one hour before round closing)
  • Should some more serious obstacle occures that obstruct player/players from playing matches (health issues, technical problems), player has to ask for possibility to play matches afterwards by writing it in commentary to the article about current league round till 22.00 on Sunday. Match then have to be played in 1 week (upon request from serious reason even longer) after regular league round term.
  • Everybody can ask for possibility to play matches in advance (with adding comment to the article with current league round) in case of longterm absence. Should such a case happen, player will anounce his absence and its length and will ask for possibilty to play matches in advance but not more than 3 leauge rounds (unless Members of Admins decide otherwise). However, results (screens) of play-in-advance matches will be anounced and counted into Standings chart in proper round terms
  • Based on the situation, player’s admin can determine other way of play, such a 15-day deadline for certain rounds of season.
  • All requests for contumacy, play-in-advance or playing afterwards are judged by admin that is responsible for players affairs.
  • The maximum number of matches to play is unlimited. The fixed schedule of opponents does not apply. Play with who you see online. If someone is inactive for a long time or avoids an opponent, the matches will be contumated.
  • Contumacy rules

  • Standard contumacy score is 3:0. However, if admin determines that matches were not played by intention or there is large performance difference between opponents, contumacy score is 6:0
