SportGamers, Our community is growing with new members every year. From time to time we are asked for tips on how to find a team or how to find players for your team. In this post, we have put together a few links to our forum where you can either search for a team or sign up as a free agent. You'll also find some tips at the end, that might be just what you need to connect with that new group of potential teammates. This post is mainly intended for the European audience that is interested in playing in the European Championship League. Free Agents EU - PlayStation 5 & Xbox Series X|S In this section of the forum, you can register as a free agent or search for new players for your team. You will find a "reply to topic" section under the last message on the page where you can post your own free agent message. In this message you can briefly tell us about yourself, what position you are looking to play, and how to best reach you. Please note that a login to the forum is required in order to post a message. Please also note that this section of the forum is only for free agent messages. EU Clubs looking for players - PlayStation 5 & Xbox Series X|S In this section of the forum, you can let everyone know when your team is looking for players, which means free agents can find teams by browsing this thread. You will find a "reply to topic" section under the last message on the page. Here you can write your "club looking for players" post where you tell us about the club and what kind of player you are looking for. You can look for good tips for your post in the numerous posts written by other clubs. Please note that both of these above-mentioned forum threads are meant only for writing the "ads". When you see something you're interested in, please use private messaging (e.g. SportGamer, Discord, or PSN) to contact them. Usually, the writer of the post will let you know how to best get in touch. So here is your reminder: whenever you post, remember to mention how to best get in touch with you. Useful tips In addition to these previous tools, we recommend you to be active and try to play as much as possible. On our Discord channel, you will find a section called "free for tonight" In this section, you can sign up for free play and of course, if you're lucky you might find some people that want to play with you in the future. One good tip that works is to add "FA" or "Free Agent" to your player's name in the game so that your players can see during the game that you are looking for a team. There you have it! We hope you find these tips useful. Feel free to share your advice in the comments. Good luck finding the perfect match!

SportsGamers, The ECL '24: Winter - Official Rules are now available and can be accessed through the league pages. Generally speaking, the rulebook is a revised and improved version of the rules used in ECL '23 Spring. Find the ECL '24: Winter - Official Rules here. Some major changes/clarifications have been made as follows: 5.13: Wins in playoffs round replaced by regular season seed as a tiebreaker 11.3: Win in regulation time is now worth three points instead of two Player ability bans were removed from the rulebook with the new version of the game For any discussion and feedback about abilities and builds, please go here. The use of special builds such as Bones is currently allowed, but any new builds coming out are being monitored and could be decided to be prohibited in the future. 11.7.6. The use of non-human characters, such as the werewolf, is not allowed in the ECL. 13.1.5 In order to make the start of the season as clear and smooth as possible, the player and team licenses must be purchased and active (✅) before stepping on the ECL ’24: Winter ice. Failure to do so will translate into a forfeit of the game Please also remember to activate the necessary backup player licenses (max 3 per team) Note: ECL Neo does not require a team license or player license and as such, this rule does not apply to ECL Neo. We ask every team and its members to familiarize themselves with the Official Rules before taking the ice for the ECL '24 Winter season. Please refer to the rulebook in case of any issues that may arise over the course of the season. In case of any questions, please be in touch with support.
