    Nightly Procedure



    The schedule will show which team will be the host team. The host team is to have the lobby up and ready 5 minutes prior to game time. If a team's roster is not all in the lobby by 5 minutes after the game start time, the opposing team may call a forfeit.



    Private Match Create/Join Procedure

    Steps when setting up a lobby from main menu :



    Team on the Match Info Page as the Home team will host the private match.

    Host selects “Play Online” ⇒ select “Create Private Match”.

    Make sure “Joinable By” option is set to “Name/Password”.

    Host creates a Name & Password (use team names as best you can) for players to enter. Password will be LG1 for all games.

    Host’s teammates and opposing team select “Play Online” ⇒ select “Join Private Match”.

    Players enter the Name & Password.

    All players must be in the private match lobby before selecting teams.

    Home team will select team first.

    Home team choose Orange Team, Away team will choose Blue Team.

    The match will then begin.

    ***If you are wanting to spectate please wait until the game has started to keep any confusion about teams being ready to play***

    Teams are expected to be ready once all team member join the lobby. Once the first person chooses their team, everyone else has about 10 seconds to join before Rocket League starts the faceoff timer, whether all the players are on their respective teams or not. It is the duty of the players to be ready once they join the match, if all 6 players are in the lobby and the match starts without all players being on their respective team the match is to be played.

    If a player gets disconnected from the game, before any players join a team and the match is started before the player gets back in the lobby is to be restarted.




    Settings for a lobby :



    Match Settings

    Game Mode: Private match

    Arena: Champions Field

    Team Size: 3v3

    Bot Difficulty: No Bots

    Accepted Region Servers: North America (US-West/US-East)

    Name: LG Home v Away

    Mutators are strictly prohibited

    All games are to use Champions Field.

    All games will be 5 minutes as Mutator settings are off limits


    All team abbreviations can be found HERE

    Since we are including Steam players this season we have a set lobby naming system to keep teams from having to message each other to find out what a lobby name will be. Communication between Xbox and steam may be difficult in between game times and players need to be able to go out of a game and into the next game quickly. Failure to follow the lobby naming procedure in an effort try and get a forfeit win will be treated with severe punishment.




    After Game Procedure


    Both the home team and away team is required to screenshot the game stats. Only one picture per team is required after the game. The picture required to be taken is the "SCOREBOARD" tab. To screenshot on your Playstation, just press the share button on your controller and click "△". To screenshot on Steam, just hit "F12” steam default screenshot button. PC users will have to manually upload it to a thread we have created on the main LGRL forum..


    Stats will need to be in by 24 hours after match completion. We will consider match completion to be 30 minutes after the game's scheduled start time. Repeated offense of late stats will result in penalty points.


    If either teams missed pictures for a game, the management is to reschedule that game amongst themselves so the rescheduled game works best for all the players. All players confirmed for the original game must be used; only the average line change limitations will be in effect. The rescheduled game must be completed before the end of the week on Saturday at 9:00. At 9:00, all unentered stats will be inputted as a 0-0 loss for both teams.


    Disconnects


    In the case that a player(s) disconnects, the player is allowed to attempt to reconnect, if the player can not reconnect the team has to continue to play the match down a player. If a player disconnects and can no longer continue the match, a sub can be used. the player who played the majority of the match is the one who the game counts for.


    Protests


    If a match was incorrectly reported by your opponents, your team can protest the match. Match protests must include media evidence clearly showing the results of the match/series.Teams are responsible for providing proof of match results in case of disputes.


    Forfeits


    Forfeiting at any point during a match will result in loss of the game and possible penalty points.


    Forfeits are not acceptable and will be punished harshly in accordance with frequency of the event. Teams that forfeit regularly will be required to provide explanation to Staff. At the LGRL's discretion, Staff may remove and replace existing management to correct the issue.


    A player leaving a game early (before the stats page show up) will be classified as a forfeit. Leaving games early will not allow the team management to record proper stats.


    All forfeits, winning or losing team, will count as games played for the scheduled players.



    Penalty Points


    Penalty points will be given as a punishment for infractions. They will be issued for abuse of any known or unknown in-game glitches, use of any mutators, offensive In game chat, or any other actions detrimental to fairness of the league. These will accumulate over the course of a season and will get worse in severity the more a player accumulates.



    1 Penalty Point - the first infraction will be a warning with the possibility of 1 minute penalty(starting a match down a man for 1 minute.)


    2 Penalty Points - 2 minute penalty(starting a match down a man for 2 minute.)


    3 Penalty points - the second infraction will be a 1 match suspension


    4 Penalty points - the first infraction will be a 1 week suspension
