    Several rule infractions by Inter Iceland

    rule.png.9c0865d6a4ba527ce1f3838eaef4205

    NHLGamers,

    unfortunately, League Administration was forced to take action regarding several rule infractions revolving around ECL 6 team Inter Iceland.

    What happened?

    First of all, League Administration noticed a walkover request by one of Inter Iceland's opponents as the team was not able to bring 6 players to the ice - even though the game was already scheduled and could not be re-scheduled anymore. At the same time, Inter Iceland's roster only consisted of 6 players, which violates the 8 player minimum rule.

    On top of this, we noticed that main captain "Stefan_397" and assistant captain "backupgoalie769" were also captains of a newly founded team called "Untouchable" that aimed to participate in the German Championship League (GCL). Figuring this was another indicator the team is about to break up, League Administration contacted Inter Iceland's captains and was assured the team intended to finish the season with the help of Free Agents.

    After further investigation, we were able to obtain proof of Inter Iceland inviting a player with his second account. This account belonged to “alexbvb28”, one of Inter Iceland's ex-players that earlier in the season had transferred to another team - Monarchs. We also obtained proof that shows the captain of Inter Iceland, “Stefan_397", having knowledge of this. Second assistant captain “oCharlyo” had already left Inter Iceland and was not involved in these actions.

    "alexbvb28" had previously inquired about a potential transfer from Monarchs to another team. Since players are limited to only one transfer per season, League Administration informed him that such actions weren't allowed. Apparently "alexbvb28" wasn't willing to accept this, prompting him to create additional accounts, so that he could help his future GCL teammate - "Stefan_397" - finish the Inter Iceland season to avoid any bans.

    Sources

    We won't disclose any sources or technical methods to obtain proof that helped us identify secondary accounts, nor their account names on NHLGamer.

    Rulings

    League Administration adjusted the ruling to the severity of the infractions violating these rules:

    Quote

    1.3
    No player may have more than one account on NHLGamer.com. This account can be used for playing on different consoles simultaneously as long as the player has their PSN ID / Gamertag set up on their NHLGamer profile.

    3.2
    Members are not allowed to circumvent the rules (including any attempts) or deceive NHLGamer staff and its League Administration at any time.

    5.1
    All managers (C and A) are representatives of the entire team, as such they are responsible for:

    • Scheduling games
    • Ensuring their team complies with league/tournament rules at all times
    • Any communication with other managers and League Administration in the name of their team
    • Ensuring the team finishes all of its games

     

    Stefan_397

    • Will be disqualified from ECL 6
    • Will be banned from participating in all NHLGamer leagues and tournaments that take place or start during 2018
    • Will be banned from being main captain (C) or assistant captain (A) temporarily (this will be lifted in consultation with the affected player and League Administration in the future)

    alexbvb28

    • Will be disqualified from ECL 6
    • Will be banned from participating in all NHLGamer leagues and tournaments that take place or start during 2018
    • Will be banned from being main captain (C) or assistant captain (A) temporarily (this will be lifted in consultation with the affected player and League Administration in the future)

    Inter Iceland

    • Will be disqualified from ECL 6
    • All ECL 6 matches will be removed

    Secondary accounts

    • Will be removed immediately

     

    Since League Administration only learned of the aforementioned situation at the trade deadline and wasn't able to process it in time, any players that transferred to Inter Iceland at the deadline are allowed to open a case during the next two days (up to and including March 16) via the "Contact League Administration" forum section and request a transfer to another team.

    It’s difficult to find the right words to close this news story for obvious reasons, but we really want to underline the importance of integrity and not using multiple accounts to compete, in order to have a competitive and fair environment. We hope it is a lesson for all current and future members that like to participate in NHLGamer leagues and tournaments.

    Coming clear about the entire situation and revealing any other parties that were involved in these infractions may reduce the severity of your punishment.

    Thanks for not even answering to my questions and statements. 9 month ban for the first violation of rules in 3 years. Ridicoulous

    Hi Alex,

    Ok, let's reply to your questions that you sent us this morning:

    Quote

    Wow you get a punishment if you want to help not letting a team fall down to the ground ?

    If you break the rules in the process (after being told you can't switch teams), yes.

     

    Quote

     And btw what the fuck is that a ban for the whole year?

    If you look at the rule book, it says:

    14.1
    Violation of the member registration rules (see 1.3) will result in a permanent account ban.

    So as you can see, we already softened this rule from permanent to 2018.

     

    Quote

    Are you crazy?

    I'm in no position to answer that.

     

    Quote

    We didn´t hurt anybody or something we tried to bring a tournament honorfull to the end and we are not allowed to play the whole year?

    What's honorable about breaking the rules? Inter Iceland could have picked actual free agents and resolved the issue.

     

    Quote

    And why are the two guys who are trying to save everything get punished and get punished that hard. The guys who let the club fall just can fly away and laugh about us getting punished?

    The two guys broke one of the most important rules of our website that is there to secure the integrity of our leagues and tournaments.

    Are we in america with shit like this?

    No.

    First of all let me say I just fell in love with Kenneth! #nohomo #maybeveryhomo :D

    Secondly, yes it was your first infraction ON THIS SITE. You've been knowing to using a second account in at least one other league. Although I think that should not play into your punishment here, it shows a pattern that must be adressed.

    You also claim you are the knight in shining armour trying to save Inter after you yourself have been the driving force behind "Untouchable" which alsmot single handedly destroyed Inter and endangers several other teams. That's like sh*tting on the carpet, blaming the dog and then complaining you are the one who has to clean everybody's mess.

    Best. Quote. Ever. You disqualified your argument with this sentence. You should have contacted the League Administration BEFORE you try to pull some shady crap, not after you get caught in the act.

    Lastly: "We didn't hurt anybody!" Tell that to the teams fighting for the Playoff spots who don't break the rules ...

    I got to respect you a lot more during these last few months, Alex. You are dedicated and enjoy NHL Gaming as much as we all do (maybe even more) - but you should have known better. Stick to the rules. I would also like to play G for an Elite Team, but I don't because I can't play for 2 teams. Those are the rules.

    The team name "Untouchable Hockey", while already kinda cringe-worthy, also comes of as ironic now that the people behind it are revealed as.....'touchable'....?

    Thanks to the LA for this decision!

    As @FoxGoalie said, communicating with the LA - and as a reminder for all GM's - communicating with the other teams is the most important thing next to integrity in my opinion!

    There's only 1 thing that's wrong here. Since Inter Iceland played so much of the season the usual ruling is not to remove all the result. Yes, remove them from playing anymore. But all the remaining games should be ruled WO.

    They had only played 66% of the entire season. Handing out free wins to a third of the group that got lucky with the scheduling simply isn't the right thing to do. While we understand that it might be upsetting for some to have played all those games for nothing, making sure that everything is fair and that we're not skewing the overall results takes priority.

    Well, to be fair, we were kinda unknown at the time - especially with those gorgeous gamertags (Oh Anton....)

     

    EDIT: At least the perpetrator himself thought you were funny :)!
