Rules and Regulations for XBLNCS Madden Tournys

 

Difficulty is the All-Madden, 5 Minute Quarters, Trades are enable.

SIMPLE RULES:

CHEESE PLAY WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. SUCH ACTS LIKE GOING FOR IT ON 4TH AND LONG, CALLING THE SAME PLAY OVER AND OVER, NANO BLITZING, ROCKET CATCHING, AND MORE. LETS KEEP THIS SIMPLE PEOPLE. IF YOU DON'T SEE IT IN REAL LIFE, THEN DON'T DO IT. WE HAVE ZERO TOLERANCE FOR CHEESING. WE WILL INSTITUTE A ONE STRIKE RULE. NO IFS ANDS OR BUTS.

Rules Explaination:

1) Do not abuse any known glitches in the game if there are any. Example: Rocket Catching

2) Punt on 4th down, especially if you have the lead. Exceptions are opponents goal line, inches past the 50 and the FG grayzone between your opponents 40-35 and behind any time in the 4th Quarter. Fakes are not allowed at any point of the game unless losing by more than 3.

3) Built in shifts only when shifting the D-line, no manually moving the DE way outside the offensive tackle. Manual movement of linebackers, safeties and corners are ok as long as they are in coverage, not blitzing. Its ok to come in on a run play or come up and fake blitz


4) No hurry up offense outside of the 2 minute warning, unless trailing by 10 or more at any point of the game. If you do use hurry up offense try and use it in moderation and not after a tackle for a loss, sack or incompletion.

5) No onside kicks unless behind 14 at any point or behind at any point in the 4th quarter.

6) When you have a clear path to score regardless of time left you must take a clear path to the end zone, no weaving or diving on the ground. This also applies to running backwards with any player on any type of play just to kill the clock. If you can seal the game by not scoring and killing clock then do so.

7) No Goaline outside of 5 or more yards for first down. Try 46 instead on any other time if you want a lot of players in the box. In other words no goaline defense or offense on 1st and 10 for example. If its like 2nd and 5 then its ok.

8) No two point conversions unless it mathematically makes sense. Like catching up or trying to seal a win at the last second.

9) Try not to eat the whole play clock, unless the game clock is not moving. If you have the ball inside the two minute warning it is ok to kill the clock.

10) Try and use your whole play book, if something works stick with it but give it different looks.

11) If mathematically you can kill the clock with the lead do not run up the score, kneel the ball.

12) No calling punt block or any variations or punt/field goal defensive plays unless a punt or field goal is called. Not even for use on the goal line.

13) No uneven trades. We will monitor all trades and suspend players for violations.

14) Any game where the other player purposely quit without explanation, the other player will receive the win.

15) Any game where the other player disconnects from a network issue, both players can mutually agree to spot the points back.

16) If a player purposely quits the game, they will be removed from the tourny and the other player will get the win.

17)

To schedule your games with your opponent, just message them through Xbox Live. If the game is disconnected, and if its in the 4th quarter, whoever is winning gets the win for the game only if the person is winning by 10 points or more
