ECL '24: Winter - Official Rules

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.
