The ECL 11 rulebook update is here!

NHLGamers,

The completed version of the ECL 11 rulebook is out now and can be accessed here. You can also always access it through the league menu.
 

In ECL 11, we will use the rule book from ECL 10 as a foundation. In addition to this, we have tweaked some rules based on feedback from ECL 10 and subsequent tournaments. As always, it is very important for us to be as clear as possible regarding League Administration procedures, as such if you have any difficulties understanding specific rules then feel free to contact us via the support tool! We ask every team to familiarize themselves with and memorize the different sections. Team captains must be aware of the entire ruleset, as it includes lots important guidance that stays relevant throughout the entire league/tournament. Regular players on the other hand should be aware of member registration requirements, etiquette, fair play and game rules.

Here's a snapshot of some of the major adjustments / additions compared to ECL 10:

• Added rule 2.6, the player card name must match a player’s in-game name
• Updated rule 3.2, team signup requirements (specifically that a Neo signup must have 8 players on the team)
• Added rule 11.2, server selection in challenge games
• Added rule 11.7.1, player customisation (specifically CHEL gear)
• Added rule 13.1.7, Elite players and the use of their IRL name in-game
• Updated rule 10.7.1, specifying that teams must stick to the home/away split as dictated by NHLGamer
• Finally, there will be a further update coming soon to the rulebook (as well as an article to help explain the rationale) concerned with the promotion structure from ECL 11 to ECL 12. Please stay tuned!

Play hard, play fair and have fun!
