Rules

  • “Shotgun-bombing” / “shotgun-jumping” is not allowed. Both are defined as rocket jumping and pulling out the Shotgun to shoot the enemy mid-air for defensive purposes. This rule applies regardless of both a player’s rocket jumping intents and their intelligence-carrying status.
  • Purposely body-block aerial opponents (i.e. jump into their face to cancel their momentum with contact) is not allowed.
  • Standing on your team’s friendly hoop is not allowed. Players who are bounced onto it or accidentally fall on it must jump off immediately.
  • If a team receives a third Default Loss during the competition, or two Default Losses in a row, they will be expelled from the league for the running season.
  • If points are tied at the end of a round, then a golden cap round must be played to decide a winner. The first team to score a point first wins the golden cap round.
