In order for a Player to be removed, the Player’s Team Captain must file a request, via the action center.


Any request filed that does not provided adequate proof that the Player in question is inactive will result in the complaint being void.


2.1.1 : Seasonal Ban Procedures


Team Captains may only make requests that Players whom are inactive, quit, or act in a manner that is detrimental to the League or their team may be removed and issued a seasonal ban.


Inactivity is defined as but not limited to :


A Player not showing up to scheduled matches (three in one week) without contacting management prior or shortly after the game explaining why the Player was not able to attend the game.


A Player, who has an inactive gamer tag, is considered inactive.


A Player, who has not visited the website for a period of one month, is considered inactive.


A Player, who does not respond to a League removal warning within 72 hours, is considered inactive.


Best Practice Recommendations (for Players):


-Ensure to send a PM to your Manager whenever you cannot attend a game you were scheduled for. That way there is a paper trail to protect against a wrongful removal.

-Ensure that if a gamer tag change is made, the request is also put in on the website as well. That can be done via the Action Center, under the request section.

-Ensure that if a removal or warning notification is issued, to respond to the notice immediately.


Best Practice Recommendations (for Managers):

-When submitting a request for a Player to be removed, ensure that proof is provided that proves inactivity.

-Ensure that your Players are educated on using the website correctly.

-Only submit a warning or League removal with justified cause. Any notification submitted without reason will not be deemed as adequate proof.

-Ensure that when a Player misses a game without reason, a strike is issued PRIOR to submitting a request for removal.


Quitting is defined as layers who send a message that states they are no longer willing to participate in the League.


Best Practice Recommendations (for Players):

-If a situation occurs that is upsetting and causes a Player to not want to play any longer, it is highly recommended the Player contact the Player’s Association prior to quitting. Making a decision when angry is never a great option and can lead to a regretful decision later.


A detrimental act is defined as but not limited to:

-Situations that would be considered cyber bullying.

-Playing in a manner to ensure the team loses.
