Transfer Rules • Rosters are capped at 9 players (8 in League 1), use transfer swaps to transfer players in during the season. • Transfers are only allowed during the first 3 tournaments, not in the play-off tournament. This is to prevent stacking teams towards the end of EGS as the play-offs come nearer. • You are allowed to make additional transfers once you have used your 3 substitutes, but it does require a 20% Team Standings Points deduction. • Only allowed 3 Transfers per season (admins can decide based on special circumstances if an additional sub is given). • If players "quit" the game then come back, you can instantly play again in your previous team. If you come back within two tournaments from when you "quit" and then try change team, you will have a two tournament ban. • If you leave your roster locked team without a transfer, you will receive a one tournament ban (admins can decide based on special circumstances if leeway is given, etc.) • If a team disbands, all players in the team will receive a one tournament ban. • If the team is lacking enough players to participate in the tournament, you will be allowed one emergency sub from our pool of subs (two emergency subs are in special occasions possible, only Head Admins or higher can grant this).

Rule added:

For 5v5 formats u can form a team without getting penalties for your players.

We added this rule so players can play in 5v5's, but only in 5v5's

if a team starts to play 6v6 or 7v7 the standard rules regarding points are getting used

We know hat stacked teams will occur
while these 5v5 teams got 2 chances to gather points/win, every other team got 6 chances in one season, so I'm sure in the long run it won't change that much

feel free to discuss it in the Discussions thread
