The UBL Rules and Regulations
UBL Commitment
By signing up for the UBL you are making a game commitment. Withdrawing from the league mid- season without sufficient personal reasons and without notifying the I.P. management will earn you a ban from the league.
Etiquette
Forum etiquette. Trash talking in the forums is fine, maybe even encouraged, but there will be no blatant insults thrown around. We will also not tolerate any racism.
In-Game etiquette. In-game anything goes. Turn 16 foul, stalling, attempting to clear the pitch, all are viable tactics. There will be no tolerance for using game bugs though. If for instance you notice that you have the “12th man” bug, take that 12th player and move him in the corner of the end zone and do not make any plays with that player.
League Format
The UBL setup for this season will run as follows:-
As the league is being re-formed this section will be update in due course.
Weeks run from Wednesday to Wednesday . (in the play-offs, the League Commissioner has the right to extend this as needed for real life issues).
Points are awarded 3 for a win 1 for a tie 0 for a loss.
Any tie breaker situations where 2 or more teams are tied on points at the end of week 8 will go
as follows:
1. Head to Head record
2. Touchdown differential
3. Coin Toss
Winner of the Playoff Tournament will be crowned UBL Champion
Also of note in the play-offs, the League Commissioner has the right to substitute teams if a coach drops or has real life issues and cant complete his match. NO automatic bye weeks in the play-offs.
UBL Division:
TBC
Match Scheduling
Scheduling takes place in the official scheduling threads. These threads will be used to determine if one coach receives a concession win or if the match is a tie. If a match does not get played and neither coach has posted in these threads then the match will be set as a tie. If one coach post and there is no answer from the other coach then the game will be set as a 2-0 win. If you have two unexplained missed games you will be removed from the league.
Inducements
We will be using the full Extended Inducements
Conceding Matches
Although concessions are frowned upon by many, we don’t want to force someone to play a hopeless match. Therefore we are going to allow each coach only 1 concession per season, so if you are having a crappy game you better make sure it’s worth using your concession because you only get 1.
Disconnects
Disconnects will happen, the game is not always completely stable. In case of a disconnect I have posted information here so you can get an emergency reset. I will not always be available for the reset. So in case I’m not available PMs should be sent to I.P. Management from both coaches stating what happened and when. If a coach believes that the disconnect was intentional, the UBL Management will need to be PMed and sent the replay for review. We will then make a ruling. The best way to handle these matters is for the coaches to agree on what they want to do, i.e. if you want to reset and “simulate” the game up to the point of disconnect, that needs to be agreed upon by the coaches. If IBBB management resets a game it starts all over like the game was never played so the coaches will need to decide what happens after that.
New Teams
New teams to the league will have played no games and have no SPPs. A current coach may retire his team at the end of any season and bring in a new team.
Other rules
Some cups and comps will have their own special rules so please make sure you read them as well. they can be found in eack cup or league made. For example the lightweight division has its rules here ultimatebowlerleague.freeforums.net/thread/15/rules
