Promotions and relegations:
This season the following promotions and relegations are in place. An important note to keep in mind, during the organisation of season 4 it can always be that some shuffling is required and that one or more persons are asked to sign up to a higher division or maybe even a lower one. This is always subject to the numbers of people in total signing up to the competition events.


-Division 3: First place is the Division 3 Champion and get's promoted to division 2 next season. 
-Division 2: First place is the Division 2 Champion and get's promoted to division 1 next season. Last place get relegated to division 3 next season
-Division 1: First place is the Division 1 Champion, last  place gets relegated to Division 2 next season. No promotions in this league for obvious reasons…




-The qualification spots and rules for the Cup tournament will follow.


Scoring and ties:
-A match win = 1 point.
-A frame/set win = 1 point.
-Ranking on the roster is based on the custom point system described above.
-At the end of the season your ranking will be determined on score (points + match wins).
-If there is a tie break, the following challonge tie break rules apply:  TB1 points (Basically frames won), TB2 match wins, TB3 number of match wins vs tied participants (Basically who won more matches between each other). TB4 Points difference (total point scored minus points given up)

Prize money:
-There is prize money to be won in this league season for each division. The cup tournament will also have a prize attached to it. All first places in the Division play will get a €5 steam gift card. For the following cup tournament we will have  total prize money pool of €15.




Snooker “etiquettes” and conduct around and on the table:
-Always be respectful to your opponent. Never resort to cursing or swearing at your opponent, snooker is considered to be a gentleman's sport act like it.
-Some players in the group require some patience as they are not as tech savvy as some of us might be, be understanding and help them out.
-Give players time to respond to your messages, don't spam them with steam phone calls, messages or Teamspeak 3 pokes if they don’t reply to you immediately.
-Don’t prolong games unnecessary. If you need a crazy amount of snookers to get back in the game then cut your loss.
-Don’t concede the frame if your opponent is on a break and he has crossed the mark of “snookers needed for the opponent” he might be on the roll for a high break or a clearance grant him that chance as you would like it yourself should you be in such a situation.

Setting up matches, deadlines and absences:
-All participants will have the full freedom to arrange all the matches against their opponents themselves. Get in contact with each other, the steam group, Teamspeak3 and Discord are all platforms for you to get in contact with your opponent easily, if you need help to get in contact with a member inform league administration. A good practice is to add all your opponents on steam on day 1.
-Matches don’t need to be worked off round by round you can easily do a match planned at the end on day 1,2,3…
-Members who fail to register on time can sadly not be put in the league after the registration deadline expired, they simply are non active for that event. No severe penalties are given, they can always participate in the next league or another event. 
-Once a League has started members must work of their matches before the set deadlines. Failure to do this will result in an automatic loss. At least one of the players must show they did send messages to get in contact with the opponent for the match in question.
-If the payer in question fails to continuously get in contact with other players forfeit scores will be noted for the remaining matches. 
-If both players are inactive league administration will toss up a coin to solve “dead matches”.

Rules on technical issues and game bugs and glitches:
-Sometimes the game suddenly disconnects and will give a “timed out connection” message. If this happens then the frame in progression will sadly need to be replayed. The frames that already been played do not need to be replayed and are valid. 


-If the problem persists then the game can be postponed, do make a mention of it on the discussion board on the tournament Challonge page. And mark the game as “in progress” by clicking the play button next to match in question.


-If the frame in play was going heavily one sided then players must come to an agreement on either conceding the frame or replay it. Come to a gentleman's agreement  and we ask that the player on the losing side of such a frame not to exploit this, cut your losses be fair if there was no realistic way of getting back into the frame… This is a rather rare occurrence (timed out connections) in the previous events out of more than 50 matches played, 2 froze up with a timed out connection. If we begin to notice that a player is exploiting by doing a “lets pull out our WiFi cable and back in” or something that can cause a desync, a DQ can follow! in case of disputes league administration will be the final judge.


-Sometimes the game freezes up, you can tell this if the commentator is late with reporting score and if the player character is standing next to the table staring onto the table. A confirmed fix to this is hit “ESC” 2 times (menu and back to game).


-It is recommended not to “ALT-TAB” while you are in the game, this can cause previous mentioned problems, “SHIFT-TAB” should not be a problem (steam overlay)


-The game has a couple bugs regarding the free ball rule, there is nothing we can do on that as it is a game issue, what we can say is watch the result of the cue-ball line. If the line is white the shot should be legit, if the line is read then don’t take the shot as it will result in a fault even though you selected the free ball option and the shot would be legit.
