[Update to the Official Rules: Timeouts temporarily banned]

Wouldn't it make more sense to ban taking Timeouts when the Pressure is ON? Because this is the only situation when the bug occurs as far as I know. You can still take a timeout right before the Pressure activates without the risk of the occurance of any bug?

A situational rule was under consideration, but we want the rule to be as simple as possible so that the pressure bug can't be repeated even by accident. In addition, we want to avoid possible new tactical timeouts that could allow situational imbalances in the game.

But if the teams in the highest league have any opinions on how to deal with the issue, suggestions are certainly welcome.

Hopefully we can get this problem fixed quickly and get back to business as usual.

I think this rule needs some clarification. Does this mean that it is not allowed to take a break (press START) and then in a next step take a timeout (these are 2 different steps in my opinion) or is it already forbidden to press START. Because I can remember a lot of situations where it could be useful to just take a break even without a timeout (freezing players, network issues, goalie controls that were automatically resetted). But then it will probably often not be possible for the opponent to recognize if a timeout was taken in the break or not. Thanks for clarification

Pressing the pause button is still allowed.

In my opinion, it shows the team's true competitiveness that they can adapt to different situations.

In my opinion GHETTO FIREBIRDS is the only team who has the right to write their name with Caps Lock.

Elämäm Kiekko appreciates your kind words and continues to pave the way to other underdogs. Good luck to all!

Btw. Ghetto Firebirds flew away to Pro so we don't have any friendship team in Lite anymore so now I declare that Face Wash Hockey is our new Friendship team. We had long and profound debate last saturday night and I think we found harmony.

Nice facelift! 

[Season 4 - Preview, Lite]

I'm pretty sure that this season is going to be breaktrough to Elämäm Kiekko!

Follow these things: 

1. Munien Haistelu (Markogirl87) our most skilled and talented player, does he mute microphone in first game for rest of the season?
2. Impolan Ihme (Rustylul) can he find R2 button from his controller and is there really free space in front corner?
3. Ois Pakaljaa (Kalchu) our starting goalie is he able to get his first win in regular time in ECL.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL TEAMS!
