General Rules 

Regular Season

Regular season scheduling for LEAGUE PLAY will be randomized

- Teams will play a two game split 

- Each team will play as the home team in each of the first two games of the match 

- - Review the schedule online to see who is the home team in the first game

Postseason

Post-season single-elimination brackets will be seeded based on regular season performance. 

Throughout the postseason, the higher seeded team will:

- Act as the home team 

- Be responsible for creating the head 2 head lobby and inviting the opponent to the match

The WINNING TEAM IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SUBMITTING THE SCORE FOR ALL REGULAR SEASON AND POSTSEASON GAMES.
