RAKETTIPUTKET vs. Rukoilevat Hinkkaajat - LA decision
Unfortunately, League Administration had to disqualify RAKETTIPUTKET from the playoffs due to multiple rule violations after being made aware of them by Rukoveilat Hinkkaajat captains. The following paragraphs were taken into consideration:
Quote1.1
All players participating in any NHLGamer league/tournament are required to have a registered account on NHLGamer.com with their PSN ID (PlayStation) or Gamertag (Xbox) added to their profile.2.2
In order to be eligible for NHLGamer leagues/tournaments, teams must:
- Have a captain and 2 assistant captains
- Have a total of at least 8 players
- Use the same team name on both NHLGamer.com and NHL 18
5.1
Teams are only allowed to use players listed in their official roster on the NHLGamer.com main page. Players which are listed in the sign up post but were not invited to the team roster are not allowed to play.10.1
The deadline for transfers is set to 23:59 CE(S)T on the 12th of November.
RAKETTIPUTKET decided to use a player named "Lehis61" in some of their playoff games. At that time, Lehis61 was not part of the RAKETTIPUTKET roster and did not have an account at NHLGamer.com either. Seeing how the trade deadline has already passed, adding him to the roster at the start of the playoffs was not an option. Further investigation revealed the roster size dropped below 8 players shortly after the regular season was over.
LA is fully aware that a disqualification at this point in a season is not an easy decision, however given all the circumstances no other solution was viable.
Round 2
16 teams made it into the secound round of the ECL Lite playoffs and are one step closer to the championship and ECL Pro promotion! Congratulations to everyone so far. Without further ado, here are the pairings for the 2nd round of the ECL Lite playoffs:
Deadly Phantoms HC vs Roistot
Almost Famous vs Breakers of the Bone
Raging Monkeys vs Rukoilevat Hinkkaajat
Red Machine vs Finnish Hockey Legends
Face Wash Hockey vs Puck Panthers
Try Another Hole vs Nordic Nosebleed
EV Duisburg vs Penalty Box
Squad Vilttiketju vs The Beagle Boys
The round starts today and all games must be completed before November 29, 23:59 CET / November 30, 00:59 EET.
Good luck!
