The volume of support tickets has been on the rise lately. We'd like to kindly remind all League Players to revisit the League Rules. It's also important for new members to acquaint themselves with these guidelines.

Game Settings

All matches must be played on a designated season map and all games uploaded using a current season map are considered valid league matches, including games hosted as public.
All latency and game speed settings are allowed as long as agreed upon by all players.
Pre-Match

Race match-ups must be agreed upon by ALL players before starting the game. Changing race selection after the countdown has begun is prohibited.
Observers are allowed unless any player does not agree before match begins.
During Match

If there is a dispute regarding the game, you may state the reason of the dispute and leave the game within 1 minute.
This includes:
An opponent picked their race after the countdown
There is excessive lag preventing the game from being playable
An observer in the game whose presence was not agreed upon
Abusing this rule is prohibited. Examples of abuse include:
Leaving because of unfavorable races/spots
Leaving the game at the start without stating a valid reason will result in the game being considered a loss.
Allow your opponent 3 minutes of time for a pause break if requested.
After 3 minutes, you are allowed to unpause and keep playing.
In either situation, in case of dispute, you will need proof. Consider toggling windowed mode and screenshotting the system clock.
Building a second race using Protoss Dark Archon's Mind Control ability is prohibited in league matches.
Starting construction of a Hatchery or a Command Center as Protoss is considered an immediate forfeit.
Use of Mind Control on other units or even worker units for purposes other than building a second race is permissible.
Post-Match

Matches must be reported within 4 hours of being played.
Any games that violate this are subject to be removed with no refund of points.
The only exception is if there is difficulty uploading a game, and a support thread is made within 4 hours of the game.
Games played before a reset but uploaded after the reset will be removed.
Disconnects

Disconnects occuring before 1 minute has elapsed will render the league game invalid.
Abusing this rule by deliberately disconnecting due to unfavorable races/spots is prohibited.
A disconnect occuring after 1 minute is considered a loss.
The only exception to this is if the person disconnecting is going to win the game beyond a reasonable doubt.
In case of a dispute, if it cannot be determined who disconnected from the game, the game will be considered invalid for both parties.
Forms of Abuse

Providing or receiving information about an opponent using the observer function is prohibited, and will result in suspension.
Viewing your opponent's livestream during the game in order to gain an unfair advantage is prohibited, and will result in suspension.
Observers interfering with game-play in any way will result in suspension at League Administrator discretion and risk the validity of the match.
Sharing a SCW account will result in suspension at League Administrator discretion.
Picking race after countdown has started will result in penalty at League Moderator discretion.
Reporting matches incorrectly under false pretenses without submitting a match fix request will result in penalty at League Moderator discretion. Examples include:
Reporting losses
Reporting disconnects
Reporting otherwise invalid games
Playing illegitimate matches resulting in free wins is prohibited, and games whose integrity is questionable are subject to be removed.
All wins played in a series must be reported.
Refraining from reporting wins while your opponent uploads their wins in order to inflate their points is considered abuse.
Hacking

All hacks are prohibited.
We are commited to fair game-play and will conduct a proper investigation for any player accused of hacking. Any additional information discovered during the process may affect the decision of any open or closed match complaints.






Spanish Translation:

El volumen de tickets de soporte ha estado aumentando últimamente. Nos gustaría recordar amablemente a todos los Jugadores de la Liga que revisen las Reglas de la Liga. También es importante que los nuevos miembros se familiaricen con estas pautas.

Configuración del Juego

Todos los partidos deben jugarse en un mapa de temporada designado y todos los juegos cargados utilizando un mapa de temporada actual se consideran partidos de liga válidos, incluidos los juegos alojados como públicos.
Se permiten todas las configuraciones de latencia y velocidad de juego, siempre y cuando todos los jugadores estén de acuerdo.
Pre-Partido

Los emparejamientos de razas deben ser acordados por TODOS los jugadores antes de comenzar el juego. Cambiar la selección de raza después de que haya comenzado la cuenta atrás está prohibido.
Se permiten observadores a menos que algún jugador no esté de acuerdo antes de que comience el partido.
Durante el Partido

Si hay una disputa sobre el juego, puede indicar el motivo de la disputa y abandonar el juego dentro de 1 minuto.
Esto incluye:
Un oponente eligió su raza después de la cuenta atrás.
Hay un lag excesivo que impide que el juego sea jugable.
Un observador en el juego cuya presencia no fue acordada.
Abusar de esta regla está prohibido. Ejemplos de abuso incluyen:
Salir del juego debido a razas/lugares desfavorables.
Dejar el juego al principio sin indicar un motivo válido resultará en que el juego se considere una derrota.
Permite a tu oponente 3 minutos de pausa si se solicita.
Después de 3 minutos, puedes despausar y seguir jugando.
En cualquier caso, en caso de disputa, necesitarás pruebas. Considera cambiar a modo de ventana y tomar capturas de pantalla del reloj del sistema.
Construir una segunda raza usando la habilidad de Control Mental del Archon Oscuro Protoss está prohibido en partidos de liga.
Comenzar la construcción de una Colonia o un Centro de Comando como Protoss se considera una derrota inmediata.
El uso de Control Mental en otras unidades o incluso en unidades obreras con fines distintos a la construcción de una segunda raza es permitido.
Después del Partido

Los partidos deben ser reportados dentro de las 4 horas posteriores a su realización.
Cualquier juego que viole esto está sujeto a ser eliminado sin reembolso de puntos.
La única excepción es si hay dificultades para cargar un juego, y se crea un hilo de soporte dentro de las 4 horas posteriores al juego.
Los juegos jugados antes de un reinicio pero cargados después del reinicio serán eliminados.
Desconexiones

Las desconexiones que ocurran antes de que haya transcurrido 1 minuto invalidarán el juego de liga.
Abusar de esta regla al desconectarse deliberadamente debido a razas/lugares desfavorables está prohibido.
Una desconexión que ocurra después de 1 minuto se considera una derrota.
La única excepción a esto es si la persona que se desconecta va a ganar el juego más allá de toda duda razonable.
En caso de disputa, si no se puede determinar quién se desconectó del juego, el juego se considerará inválido para ambas partes.
Formas de Abuso

Proporcionar o recibir información sobre un oponente utilizando la función de observador está prohibido y resultará en suspensión.
Ver la transmisión en vivo de tu oponente durante el juego para obtener una ventaja injusta está prohibido y resultará en suspensión.
Los observadores que interfieran con el juego de alguna manera resultarán en suspensión a discreción del Administrador de la Liga y correrán el riesgo de la validez del partido.
Compartir una cuenta de SCW resultará en suspensión a discreción del Administrador de la Liga.
Seleccionar una raza después de que haya comenzado la cuenta atrás resultará en penalización a discreción del Moderador de la Liga.
Reportar partidos incorrectamente bajo falsas pretensiones sin enviar una solicitud de corrección de partido resultará en penalización a discreción del Moderador de la Liga. Ejemplos incluyen:
Reportar derrotas.
Reportar desconexiones.
Reportar juegos inválidos de otra manera.
Jugar partidos ilegítimos que resulten en victorias gratuitas está prohibido y los juegos cuya integridad sea cuestionable están sujetos a ser eliminados.
Todas las victorias jugadas en una serie deben ser reportadas.
Abstenerse de reportar victorias mientras tu oponente carga sus victorias para inflar sus puntos se considera abuso.
Hackeo

Todos los hacks están prohibidos.
Estamos comprometidos con un juego justo y realizaremos una investigación adecuada para cualquier jugador acusado de hackear. Cualquier información adicional descubierta durante el proceso puede afectar la decisión de cualquier queja de partido abierta o cerrada.
