League Discipline
-Violating any rules will result in a Warning, Player Suspension, Owner Suspension Or League Removal depending on the infraction
-If you are making a complaint about any owner you must provide in-game VIDEO and/or CoachGlass the violation as proof,
-If you do not have proof your complaint will be noted but just verbal from one person will not be sufficient enough for action. With enough verbal complaints an owner could face warning with penalty if issue continues or suspension of specific player or suspension of owner on Auto Pilot or possible boot.
If your opponent breaks the rules pause the game and address it

SPECIAL TEAMS:

QB Scrambling
-Use the pocket, that's what it is there for

-Scrambling should be the last thing you are trying to do
-QB Options are allowed but are not to be abused.
-Your QB should have a MAXIMUM of 5 rushes per game and this should NOT BE EXCEEDED
Playbook Rules
-NO CUSTOM PLAYBOOKS ALLOWED
Unsportsmanlike Conduct
-All owners are expected to conduct themselves in a respectful manner. We are all adults so lets act like it.
-If any point, if you think your opponent is abusing a play, breaking the rules, or playing unsportsmanlike, pause the game and confront the person. No need to be rude because the person might not know. Mention the rule and what they are doing wrong and tell them how to fix it. If the problem continues get an admin involved and we will handle it.
-Tempers will flare. We are all men playing a competitive madden league and we all have the same goal of winning the super bowl. Remember to keep the tempers under wraps to create a welcoming league for all.
-DISRESPECT WILL NOT BE TOLERATED
Disconnect Rule
-Under NO circumstances is quitting ever allowed. If you quit a game against a user you will instantly be suspended from play.
-If a Game DC's work it out with your opponent, (restart or get back to where you were game wise)
User vs. CPU
-Play sim vs the CPU, do not play the CPU any differently than you would play a user.
-NO QUITTING VS CPU - users found quitting against the CPU will receiver a Suspension. Take a CPU loss like a man and move on
-Do not run up the score vs CPU
-NO Breaking a Record vs the CPU (No warnings)
General Sportsmanship
-Follow the Run up rule (don't win by more then 35)
-DO NOT TANK - if you come out and lost your first 4 games do not purposely lose every game for the rest of the season,
Position Subbing
-Players must always play their own position unless the following rules apply:
-Offensive Line is interchangeable
-Defensive Line is interchangeable
-Linebackers are interchangeable
-Safeties can play CB
-OLB can play DE
-ANY OTHER POSITIONAL CHANGES MUST BE REQUESTED AND APPROVED BY AN ADMIN
-Players switching position must be permanently switched,
Statistical Guidelines
these rules apply in all Cpu games, and all USER games in which you win by more then 21. In close games you may do what is necessary, but spread the ball around! Close games CPU will be looked at closely
-No QB over 500 Yards Passing
-No Qb over 5 TDs
-No RB over 250 Yards Rushing or Receiving
-No RB over 4 TDs
-No WR or TE over 250 Yards Receiving
-No WR or TE over 4 TDs
Violation will Result in Suspension.
Killing The Clock
-DO NOT intentionally kill the clock the entire game. The only time you are allowed to deliberately run the play clock down is within 3 minutes of each half. There is a difference between running the play clock down and picking a while to select a play. If you are constantly snapping the ball within the final 5 seconds of the play clock you are considered to be running clock and this will not be tolerated
Season 2 Updates
-Follow the Run up rule (don't win by more then 35
-Must Run/Pass 7 Times a game ( down from 10)
-Qb Rushing down to 5 (From 7)
-Rule regarding zone and man removed (was unenforceable)
i will be more strict on the pass/rush rule, it will result in a player suspension. The exception being must pass situation, being down 1 TD in the 1st quarter is not that situation
