§ Gameplay

1. Players play their matches on the map: Summoner's Rift 5v5 or Howling Abyss (mostly for 1v1 or 2v2).

2. Matches in each tournament or league will be played on official League of Legends game servers with an assigned default game server (EUW or EUNE). It is required to use accounts associated with the arrMY platform. This is done by going to your profile on the platform www.lol.arrmy.gg, clicking the option EDIT PROFILE, and then clicking the GAME SETTINGS button.

3. The match can start only if both teams report that they are ready to start the game. Each team must have 5 ready players (or 1 in the case of 1v1 or 2 in the case of 2v2). The date for playing the match is set by the Administrator or the Organizer, but can also be changed and set by the captains of both teams, after prior consultation of the mentioned persons.

4. In the event that teams express a desire to change servers, for example, from EUNE to EUW, this is fully permitted only by mutual consent of both parties.

5. In the absence of an updated score on arrmy.gg, the captain of the winning team is required to upload a screenshot of the post-match lobby (using “enter score”) and provide the score with the !admin command.

   1. Map : Summoner's Rift

   2. Team size : 5

   3. Game Type : Tournament Draft

   4. Permission for observers : All

7. It is the responsibility of both teams to check the correct configuration of the lobby.

9. The side is chosen by the team on the left in the match lobby. In the case of BO3/BO5 matches, on the next map the side is chosen by the losing team.The exception is qualification, where the side on the first map is chosen by the team that was ranked higher.

10. In case of technical problems, it is possible to use pauses during the match. There is a 15-minute break per team on each map. In case of agreement, the opponent can give his break to the rival. In total, the break cannot exceed 30 min.

11. If one of the players does not return to the server, the match may continue 4 vs 5. 

12. The use of scripts or hacks to facilitate play by a player during a match may end in disqualification of the team from the entire competition.

14. The organizer of the games is not responsible for problems related to the game servers. 

15. External parties to the draft are allowed, but only with the consent of two teams. In case one of the teams does not agree then the draft must be played in the game client. 

16. We allow the use of placeholders according to the scheme: Player A picks a character and then writes in chat: Placeholder Jax -> Yasuo. This means that he does not have a Yasuo character, but notifies his rival that the character he wants to play is different from the one he picked on the draftee

17. A character that is not available on the live server for more than 14 days is not available in the arrmy.co.uk games. Characters that had a rework will be available immediately, unless the league administration makes a different decision.

§ Rules of places in the league table

   1. The number of victories of the teams involved in a given conflict.  

   2. Direct win if the conflict involves two teams.

   3. If the conflict involves more than 2 teams, a small table is created:

      1. The team with the highest number of matches won among the conflicting teams ranks highest.

      2. If at least 2 teams have the same number of matches won among the conflicting teams, then the order of the teams is determined by direct wins, then by the balance of maps, then by the balance of rounds played in those matches.

   4. If none of the above solutions worked, then promotion can be determined by the organizer with additional statistics, such as a higher number of Esport Dollars earned in the league.

   5. The organizer also has the right to hold an additional tournament between the conflicting teams, if he deems it the best solution to the situation.

   1. Leagues with a fixed schedule - these are leagues in which the dates of the games played are imposed in advance and there is no possibility of rescheduling the games.

   2. Leagues with the offer of dates to play a match - these are leagues in which both teams declare their willingness to play a match in the tool prepared by arrMY. The date of such a match is selected according to the following criteria:

      1. If both teams declare an overlapping date for playing the match, the system will set the fastest possible date for playing the match.

      2. In the absence of overlapping dates, a common basket of dates will be created, from which one date will be drawn. Dates are added to the basket in 15-minute increments, e.g. Team A declares its availability at 5:15 p.m., Team B declares its availability at 6:00 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. In this situation, dates will be added to the basket: 17:15 (Team A), 18:00 (Team B), 18:15 (Team B), 18:30 (Team B).

      3. Teams have the opportunity to make an offer to play the match on a contingency date. The emergency date will be set only if both teams enter the same date into the system
