V. Playing Rules - Off-Field & Sportsmanship
Many of the rules we have are based off having respect for your opponents. We are here as an escape from real life and all want to be able to enjoy playing a football video game without having to worry about being cussed out over the headset.
Headsets- Every owner will be required to have a headset. The requirement is based on the need to communicate regarding issues during the game. You are NOT required to chat with your opponent during the game - just be available to chat in the case that a conflict comes up that needs to be resolved. If you plan on having your headset off during the game, just let your opponent know when acknowledging each other during pre-game.
Trash Talk- Trash talking is a part of online play - however, keeping in line with the goals of respecting your opponents, be sure that any conversations during the game are friendly, harmless communications. Excessive cursing and racial or other types of derogatory comments will NOT be tolerated. Owners who are disrespectful to fellow league members will be removed from the league.
Sportsmanship- All league members will be held to a high standard in terms of sportsmanship. Nobody needs to hear how the game is screwing you, or how "Madden sucks" because they are losing. If you are frustrated with how the game is going, keep it to yourself. Also, refrain from running up the score on your opponents. League members should use common sense during lopsided games.
