The rules have changed, if you're not in the loop I can give you a tl;dr

-once you leave/get kicked from your squad, you cannot rejoin that same squad
-get caught forcing someone on your squad offline to hide your numbers, you play a man down for 10 mins.
-private arenas must be requested at the time of scheduling
-7v7 minimum, no standard 8v8.. everything higher than 7s is agreed upon
-3 support classes allowed in 7s, 4 allowed in 8s
-2 rippers max, 1 sapper max, 1 sniper max, potential to use 4 LMGs in an 8v8 (lol)
-Appeals must be requested during the match... no more bullshit of playing out a full match and appealing only if you lose

nice league (rules)

Rip Yosh, send request after this week's match

the leave/get kicked rule only applies after the season officially begins (4/29) just an fyi. and what this rule also means is that you cannot rejoin your previous squad ONLY if you join a new squad. so if you leave squad A but never join another squad you're free to go back to squad A at any point. and then you will go back through the process of a waiver period. it's only once you join the roster of another squad that you cannot go back to a previous squad you were on the roster for.

also the NT rules were made much more clear. take a look at the rule page for all the updates.

Can we be able to kick people after roster lock?

Also community polls for rematches, with the involved squads votes disregarded

isn't that kind of the point of a roster lock?

Define what is a support class.

Everything not marine or med

I would argue that the season had started once the schedule was made and squads started scheduling the weeks matches, the season is more than just Sundays.

It was already decided, per capt and co-capt votes, that the season will begin 4/29.
Besides what's two extra days without these rules really going to change?

Because the reason that rule was put into place was to stop "loaning" players, and looking at the log that is potentially what is happening week 1, and I personally would like to prevent that. Not sure about the rest of the staff, but that rule was put in for a reason.

"Appeals must be requested during the match... no more bullshit of playing out a full match and appealing only if you lose"

If you request an appeal, does the match stop? Or is it played out regardless and you figure it out after?

Someone on head staff will make a decision and restart the match.. if nobody on head staff is online (or if they are biased in the said game) the match will continue. So .. if something happens, you appeal and end up winning.. you still may have to replay that match despite winning.

edit - that being said, if you say in captains chat you are appealing and the opposing captain is okay with a restart, I personally don't see any harm in restarting if both parties agree.. no staff involvement in decisions needed.

biased in the game = a team member? that term should be clear if its a part of the rule

oh and thanks for the post so ppl pay attention to changes

Yeah, if you're part of said squad unspecced or not.

Then going off the concept of "loaning," that could only be done if "loaned" in the next day or two. I suppose it can happen...

I think they’re good rule changes. Look forward to the season starting.
