Games can be arranged through the site (PM or on the weekly matchups thread) or via PSN messaging or texts.
Schedule your games in a 15-30 minute window, in order to respect both player’s time.
No-Shows
If you have not responded to a scheduling request by 6pm the day before the advancement date, you are considered a No-Show. Please report all no-shows in the "No-Show" thread so we can track habitual scheduling issues with specific owners.
1st No-Show, you will be poot on autopilot so your opponent can play the CPU, and warned.
2nd No-Show, you will be removed from the league.
Sportsmanship
Use common courtesies and standard NCAA practices. If you’re up by a large margin, run the ball, and don’t attempt to run up the score.
Use common sense.

Simmed Games
We will try to avoid simmed games wherever possible, but it does happen from time to time. If players cannot come to an agreement on a start time, then the game will be simmed.
If, in the opinion of the comish, a player has made a reasonable effort to arrange his game with an opponent and given several start time options and the opponent has either not answered or has declined these options, then the player who endeavoured to arrange the game may be given the option to play the CPU at the comish discretion. The comish decision on such matters shall be final.

Loss of Connection
Sometimes there will be lag on the screen, which can often end up in a loss of connection. Unfortunately, when this happens, there is no alternative but to restart the game, except in the following circumstances:
if a team is leading by 14 points or more in the 4th quarter and their opponent loses connection, or is leading by any score inside the 2 minute warning in the 4th quarter and has possession then the team in the lead has the option of finishing the game against the CPU, if the option appears on the screen. In all other cases, the game must be restarted and recreated score wise.
Team Owners with a complaint against another are required to report it ASAP.
Disciplinary Measures
All complaints will be investigated by the comish and disciplinary measures wil be imposed according the the severity of the offence.
As a general rule, they will be imposed in the following order:
