    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
    Expand  

     

    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.

    - League Administration

    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.

    Go and find out what's the usual ruling in sports when a team have finished 2/3 of the season and then talk about what's fair. This is an amateur ruling and stinks of lack of experience.

    I find this saddening after getting to know you a little bit more over the last months. First time you were with us, the goal was yours, you put in the work, were humble and had the net for you only. Then you decided to leave us the first time, I understood you, you had to stick up for your friends after losing their C. 

    Then you came back like a week before ecl, you hadn't played in net for a while and the performances weren't really the greatest so we decided to let you go as your heart were with Iceland and our other G had played really well.

    Then regular season went along and we were doing just fine and we had good chat with you guys in Iceland. Then you guys got into a rough stretch, you told me how you guys don't sit in the party anymore together and other stuff and I decided to take you back for a third swing because you begged me to

    We were having some connection issues with our other keeper and I didn't want to play in net. You came in, played the first day. Then, I did want to play myself of course so I had to bench you for some games which you couldn't handle as you think you are a top 3 goalie in the net in the game. We would have kept you, but you just didn't want to put the work in.

    So you decided to tell me to fuck off and thanking me how I ruined your season. I find that pretty unfair. But never mind, I thought we could get past that, until you started poaching our LD to your GCL project. I think that was pretty disrespecting because you know we play almost everyday, but you know, this isn't professional so you can go after whoever you want. But I didn't want to let him go and then you told me to just die. 

    Three times I took you in and gave you a chance but the last two times ended with you telling me to go kill myself or to fuck myself. So take this break Alex and try to find the humble and positive Alex I got to know a couple months back, he was a good person.

    So you think it's fair to have some teams profit off this decision, while others that previously lost are just shit out of luck?

    No. I have to disagree as well.

    I was about to join this team for GCL because it was a nice opportunity to play with some great players, but i gotta say that LA did a very good job on this and made the right calls. Good job on cleaning up that mess.

    Maybe i should have used my 2nd acc so i wouldn't need to look for a new team now xD

    You don't think that the schedule is a bit different in usual sports?

    Did they cheat during these games? No? Oh well.. that says it all. And it doesn't matter how much you think and change about it, there will be teams that profit from other teams cheating whatever ruling you decide to have. If a team break rules outside the actual gameplay you always have to consider how many games they have played if they are disqualified. And if that goes above 66 percent there's only one rule to apply if you want to refer to fair. Look it up if you think otherwise. It's another story if they cheated during the games they already finished.

    You don't hand out free wins because, like Oxtree said, they just so happened to be lucky and not get Inter Iceland until late in the season due to the RNG schedule. Removing them from the league completely, and by extension any games they took part in, is the best course of action, certainly not an 'amateur' decision :)

    We all hope your words are sincere! Nobody wants another player to be banned. I think most people here don't get "fun" out of your banning as much as they make fun of how poorly you have reacted to it. I don't want to sound like a teacher or parent ^^ ... but learn from your mistakes. If you mess up, don't blame others for your failiures. If you get caught take responsibilities or better just don't mess up! ;)

    It's referred to percentage. So in this case no.

    As long as we play 2 out of 2 games on same gameday, against said opponent the only solution is to null every game the team has played.
