How to Play

Everything you need to know about weekly matches, deadlines, and match procedures.

  1. Check the Season Overview page to find out which team you're facing each week. When there, click View Week to see which player you're facing.
  2. Contact the player on the opposing team in the same Seed as you to schedule your match for that week.
  3. Submit your match day, time, and mode using the Scheduled Match Form.
  4. Deadline to submit your Scheduled Match Form by Wednesday 11:59 PM EST.
Unresponsive opponent? If your opponent does not respond by the deadline, you prove you attempted to contact them, and you informed your Captain and your opponent's Captain — provide this evidence to the League Admin. Your opponent will be disqualified and earn a DQ loss of 0-2 and you will earn a DQ win of 2-0. PR will not be affected by DQ matches. Players with multiple DQs can be suspended or expelled from the league.
No shared availability? If during communication you learn you and your opponent cannot find any shared availability, one of you will need to find a substitute.
Both players fail to schedule? If both players communicate, fail to schedule a match, and fail to find substitutes — they will both earn a no contest match result of a 0-0 DQ.
  • If you cannot play in a given week, find a Substitute Player with equal or less PR than you from the Free Agents List, or by getting a new player to register and submit a Substitution Request.
  • Deadline to submit a Substitution Request by Tuesday 11:59 PM EST.

After your match:

  • Both players must submit a Match Result Form.
  • Results will update live on the scoreboard.
  • If there is a discrepancy, inform your captain, your opponent, and your opponent's captain and sort out the issue. Please work together to fix and resubmit a new Results Form before contacting the League Admin.
