User Profile As discussed in the meeting last night and agreed upon there have been a few additions to the rules for SWWBFII Conquest Weeks.
No Bots Option For Matches
There is now an option to allow matches with zero bots under certain conditions.
1.You may challenge any club to a match with zero bots regardless of the number of players.
2.Both sides must agree to no bots as this is a matter of choice and personal prefrence.
3.If an agreement is not reached for playing without bots,then being the fact that you initiated a challenge of no bots and were wiling to play,you must then honor a match and play with bots as per regular match set up rules.
4.If you challenge a club to no bots and they refuse to play without bots but are willing to play with bots,then you must respect thier right to want bots and play with bots.You may not refuse a match simply because you made a challenge for no bots and it was declined.
Basically this rule is to allow those who want to play no bots to be able to do so but does not change the overall match set ups for people who still want bots and to play by normal match set ups.Please be advised that playing in matches without bots may actually hurt your overall score as its likely less points will be recieved playing no bots.
Blackballing Rules
1.NO club/player should intentionally engage in a practice of telling thier members not to play certain clubs/players.If there are issues between clubs/players resulting in two sides not wanting to play each other,they should be reported to mods so to prevent escalation of problems.
2.Blackballing may be percieved differently by different people.If you are challenged to a match and have an excuse for refusing but are then seen entering a match soon afterwards against someone else this may be percieved as blackballing.However if you just finished a match against a club and they turn around an challenge you again and you refuse,this is not blackballing since you honored the initial challenge and already played.
3.All incidents of blackballing should be reported to a mod or gaming director or Maelstrom.Please provide specific information along with any proof such as screenshots,TS recordings etc...
Punishment for Blakballing:
1st Offense a severe warning.
2nd Offense a 30 day ban from SWBFII events and ER TS.
3rd Offense a permanet ban from SWBFII events and ER TS.
Please think twice before engaging in blackballing and please remind your own club members of the consequences.
