GAMEPLAY:
-Can go for it on 4th & 3 or less behind 50 yard line, or 4th & 5 or less in front of the 50 yard line
-Fake punts and Field goals are allowed; same for 2 point conversions
-No Same play spamming(Don't worry too much about this rule: it is enforced through the league settings now, which means it is not enforced)
-No Plays are banned, and there is no rush rule, NANO's are allowed and encouraged! do not be a pussy in other words.
-Can go for it no matter what if losing by at least 21 points or in 4th quarter. ALSO! score limit for a game is 75 (If the score limit is hit before the game ends BOTH teams must chew clock, and timeouts cannot be called on either side)
-Can also go for it for it on 4th & Goal no matter what.
-Chewing clock is allowed at any time during the game
-QUITTING is an automatic BOOT!!!!! NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!!! (Conceding is also an automatic boot)!
-No mutual stat padding (allowing other people to score on purpose so you can score)
-NO STAT FARMING!!!!!!! (throwing games, or abusing stats on one player to try to rig awards, or rewards)
-Side Note: Gameplay rules are not really to restrict play. It is just to avoid stat padding, and prevent people getting a lucky penalty on 4th & long!
TRADING:
-No limit active on how many trades a user can do a year
- All trades must be approved by MickeyRaven. No one else can approve trades in MickeyLeague for security reasons unless MickeyRaven decides to form a trade committee.
-Any trading without commissioner approval will result in a boot, cap reduction fine, or player suspension depending on the trade severity!!!
-Anyone who attempts a CPU trade whether successful or not will be KICKED ON THE FUDGING SPOT!!!!
POSITION CHANGES/PLAYER EDITS:
-Realistic ones are allowed they are marked as the following. olb-mlb olb-de cb-s ol-ol de-dt
-Unrealistic edits require approval from a staff member (EX: QB-RB, or DT-MLB)
-You are not slick and it is in the rules now!!!! Switching positions to switch to try to bypass the position switch rule is not allowed either. (EX: Switching a MLB to OLB then DE then DT: you are not cute, funny or slick)!
-NO EDITING PLAYER NAMES AT ALL! and no unrealistic equipment changes. Also be realistic with the numbers. If you edit your player like a 12-year old kid then do not join!!!
SCHEDULING:
-Be FLEXIBLE!!!!! The world does not revolve around you, and MickeyLeague is ego free. If you expect someone to play in your 2 hour time window (out of 48 hours) you will prob get a Force Loss
-This league is ran off of a 24 hour advance time clock.
-Communication is key!!! you need to communicate with your opponent. Going ghost is worse than not being able to play in Mickey's eyes.
-Do not play CPU games unless given permission by MickeyRaven!
-You are responsible for scheduling the time of your own games, and you are responsible for getting them played by advance. Commissioners are here to help you get your games played but should not do all of the work for you! Not being able to play a game is not an excuse to not hit them up!
-If schedules conflict and the game can not be played it will be a fair sim
-Any form of quitting whether it is from conceding, pulling the plug, purpose lagout, dashboarding, ect. Will result in an AUTOMATIC BOOT!!!
-Just to mention again that no form of quitting is tolerated. CONCEDING is considered a quit/dash as well. We do not allow conceding in this league even though other leagues do.
-All 'lag outs' will be under investigation now!!!!
MISCELLANEOUS:
-NO CPU TRADES!!!!!!!!
-NO MONKEY SEE MONKEY DO. This is when someone breaks a rule, and you think you can do it as well. This is toxic, shows lack of respect for my time put into this league, shows how much of a lowlife bum you are, shows your parents did not raise you right, and will outright ruin the league to the point I will delete it.
-No tanking allowed(It creates/provokes inactivity)
-Trade deadline ends after the advance from week 14 to week 15
-This Madden League runs on Simulation mode.
-No gambling or bribing!!! Do not gamble or bribe MUT Players, or MickeyLeague (ESPECIALLY MICKEYLEAGUE) players over the results of a MickeyLeague game! This also includes wagers as well for those who like to finesse the rules!!!!!
-Be communicative. You do not have to respect the other league members, but you need to have enough human decency to be able to hit them up, and play a game without quitting! It is your duty as a league member to do that anyways. You do however have to respect MickeyRaven, as he does not have time to deal with degeneracy, or selfishness.
-48 HOUR ADVANCE!!!! (24 Hours if all games get played, or whenever all games get played if under 48 hours)!
- All playoff games must be streamed! If both teams refuse to stream due to 'lag' (and totally not laziness) then the lower seed will be forced to stream per seeding rule! If both teams refuse to stream it will result in removal from the league!
- In the Super Bowl it does not matter who streams. Someone just has to stream. Both users must be in an XBOX party, or Discord Call with MickeyRaven to avoid anything that can interfere with the results of the Super Bowl!
- Do not ask the commissioners to bail you out or do any favors. we are a 'laissez-faire' style league, and tend to let 'nature' run its course.
-Being ignorant of these rules, and not reading the rules does not excuse a League Member from punishment of breaking the rules. Make sure you know the rules.
- No spreading misinformation, or lying about events. That is how false rumors start, and then I have to waste time with rumor spreaders and the people who believe that crap.
- No Practice Squad Pillaging/Poaching (Trolling to sign a whole team's practice squad for humorous purposes).
-Speed Trees on the Coaching Tree are Banned!
-FOLLOW THE TEN COMMANDMENTS (Jesus is King)
