MML BB3 SEASON 6 - Rules Pack

Every MML coach has a responsibility to be respectful to their opposition. Abuse, harassment and bullying will not be tolerated.

Leave any salt or bad feelings on the pitch. Remember… we play a dice game, not chess and Nuffle is fickle.

In the event you feel that you have been unfairly treated, we have a The Board (on dicsord), to whom you can address any issues and expect impartiality and an honest, non judgemental ear.

If you feel there has been foul play, skullduggery or anything else during your game, our Referee Group (on discord) stand ready to arbitrate impartially and provide support.

MML scoring system- Points will be W 3/T 1/L 0

Coaches free to have a maximum of 1 team in Brawler and 1 in CL/Pro at any one time

Racial Diversity- 50BTV for 3 seasons on the season joined (joined CL) when RD is posted

New teams entering CL or Brawler can only start with 1 startup’s and 2 doubles max and must have 11 active players

Gold to be carried between seasons reduced to 50K

Teams can not spend any gold or spp prior to their first game of the season.  Teams can spend and level after game one is complete

All pitches are allowed to be used. We ask again (will be noted in your registration) you can not switch until the off season.

Inducements: Overdog is now not limited to 40k spending and may spend as they see fit.  Remember that if you spend the Underdog gets that gold too.  If you get a star player then they can get the same one and you both are out the star player.  If it's allowed or coded then it's fair game.  (follows TT rules)

ADMIN RESULTS ISSUE

As this has become a problem of late, a decision has been made to implement penalties for excessive missed games leading to the reception of an admin loss.

As such, going forwards if any coach receives 3 or more admin losses in a single seasons play (without v v good reasons) they shall be excluded from CL/PRO play for the period of 1 season

After this period they can rejoin at CL level.

they would however be welcome to continue to play at Brawler or Farm level where this can be worked around more easily.

Games that are Admin controlled

1- 50k gold will be added to your team

2- A random MVP will be awarded to your team 

3- Any players that were due to miss the admin game will be cleared to play next game (all teams in an admin results munis teams that are being asked to leave)

4- In the case of an admin win a TD will be randomly awarded with MVP/gold

Clarification on:

Hot Prospect: This player is named during the off season (registration).  This player can have as much spp saved as they like.

Team Captain: This player like the hot prospect is named during the off season (registration).  This player again can save as much spp as they like.

All other players on the team must select a normal skill if they have enough spp to do so.  They are not required to take a random skill.

MML OT Rules:

All 8 OT turns will be played

Whoever scores the most TD's in OT wins

If both teams score and OT ends in a tie, the kicking team wins

If no teams score in OT, the kicking team wins

We do not use the random field goal kicks at the end of OT to decide winner

You may choose any racial faction to play in the league.

ALL teams must start absolutely fresh with 0 spp, 11 players minimum and no games played.

There will be 4 Playpools of 10 coaches each.

You will play every coach in your playpool once. 9 games in total.

Playoffs will be after the completion of regular season and the top 2 in each playpool will qualify for them.

Concedes are not allowed – we respect the time that both coaches have allocated to play. 

Soft concedes – such as not standing players up & skipping turns are frowned upon, two occasions of this will result in a yellow card (2 of these result in a red which will be a season long ban). In this situation we would expect the opposition coach to not foul the ever loving bejeezus out of the soft conceding opponent but they can run in touchdowns.
