• Deadline: Lineups MUST be exchanged by 10 PM Thursday. A 2-point deduction applies if the lineup is not shared by the deadline.
• Default play day: 1st Wednesday after the line-up exchange.
• Player Availability: Captains must ensure players are available on:
  • Wednesday (default day)
  • Tuesday of the following week (default play-by-day in case of weather delays)

A lineup may be tweaked after exchange only if all of the following conditions are met:

• The match for that line has not yet started.
• The tweaked lineup still abides by the SOR rule.
• The new player being added must be available to play on both the default day (Wednesday) and the play-by day (Tuesday of the following week).

• If a line cannot finish their match by Tuesday (11 days after lineup exchange), the team with the unavailable player will forfeit.
• If both teams have availability issues, both receive zero points.
• The EC decision is final in all forfeit matters.

• 10 teams with 10 players each, including an Ace (Rank 1) — total of 100 players. The Ace is associated with a single team for the entire season.
• 4 lines each week. The top-ranked available players for that week must play Line 1.
• 5 lines in the playoffs. The team winning 3 out of 5 lines advances.
• The Ace (Rank 1) always plays Line 1.
• Break time between sets must not exceed 3 minutes.
• Minimum Play Requirement: Every player must play a minimum of 4 matches. Teams failing to meet this will be held in default with a 25-point penalty.
• All disputes should first be resolved between captains. Issues that cannot be resolved will be escalated to the EC, whose decision is final.
• ECs may provide extensions in case of weather delays.

Line SOR (Sum of Ranks) must be in ascending order (greater than or equal to) from Line 1 to Line 4. Assume Ace = value 1 for SOR calculations. The lowest-ranked available player plays Line 4.

The league uses a round-robin format where all teams play every other team.

• 3+ teams tied: Overall score between tied teams and the percentage of games won vs. games lost is used as the deciding factor.
• 2 teams tied: The team that won their head-to-head match during the league stage advances.

• If a player is injured during a match, the match is considered forfeited by the injured player's team.
• The injured team receives only the points accumulated at the time of injury; the opposing team receives the full 14 points.
• If all 4 players agree to continue the match later, that arrangement is appreciated.
• No late pass for any match unless exceptional circumstances are pre-approved by EC.

In case of injury, the Captain may suggest a replacement, but the final decision rests with the EC.

• Captain contacts EC directly to request a replacement player.
• EC works to identify a candidate; the other 9 captains vote (the requesting captain must not vote).
• A minimum of 5 positive votes is required. If not received, an alternative will be suggested.
• The snake draft position of the replaced player will be factored into replacement decisions.
• At the playoff stage, preference is given to players from eliminated teams at the same rank.

• Teams ranked 1 to 3 from each group (A & B) advance to playoffs. Ranks 4 & 5 are eliminated.
• Division Winners (DW) go directly to the Semi-Finals. Highest points = DW1, second = DW2. Ties resolved by head-to-head, then next common opponent.

5 lines in playoffs. The team winning 3 out of 5 lines advances. The lowest-ranked available player plays Line 5. All other league rules apply.
