6 Infractions

Infractions will be evaluated at the end of each match. Therefore, if there is any doubt about infractions that may be committed during a match or in the run-up to the start of a match, the match must be played. At the end of the game session the alleged infractions, documented as explained in detail in point 11 of the regulation will be subsequently evaluated by the admins.  Very simple summary of this point: in any case continue to play the game, in order to have a final result, any changes to the score due to violations will be decided by the administrators.

E.g. Two players crash, I am not sure what to do, I am not sure what is the limit of players, tournaments are many and have various regulations, we know, for this reason it is easy to get confused. For this reason, in order to avoid a quit that is considered legitimate, but then erroneous because it is not provided for in the regulation, you will be defeated, as per the regulation; therefore, in the event that you are faced with situations, terminate the game.

We want to explain this mode because, since the games do not have fixed times or days, it is possible that the admins are not present at that time to respond quickly to your doubts and, considering that, nobody likes to wait in the room, and that if the doubt should come during the game the breaks are not infinite, play the game and the case will be evaluated.

6.1 National selection error:
In case of National team selection error, it is necessary to point it out to the captain of the opposing team and have to restart the game with the correct National team selection.

6.2 Minimum players Requirements and Disconnections:
The minimum number to start the match is 8 players, in case of disconnections if the number of players on the field is less than 7, that is 6 players, the match will be declared lost. 

6.3 Special note - Quit room:
It is absolutely forbidden after the right selection of the National teams and then in the "game plan" or "game start" screen to leave the game room or to return to the game room, in case of disconnection the game must be continued once correctly selected the National teams, in case of leaving the room during the "game plan" or "game start" screen will be applied the point 8.1 regarding the minimum requirements of the game and then if after the correct selection of the National teams you remain in 6 players the game will be automatically declared lost. 

6.4 Fair-Play

6.4.1 Player in front of the goal line - free kick
It is absolutely forbidden to stand in front of the goalkeepers with one or more players during free kicks to disturb them, penalty 3 to 0 defeat for those who commit this offense in addition to the disqualification of the player(s) involved.
It is also forbidden to stand on the goal line with the players to defend on a free kick, under penalty of defeat for 3 to 0.

6.4.2 Match agreements
The pre-agreed time between captains for the match must be respected for fair-play purposes. In case, an agreement has been found, but it needs to be changed, it will be necessary to ratify the request within and not later than 3 hours from the beginning of the match, in case a new agreement cannot be found, the last agreement found will be used.

6.4.2.1 No agreement

In case of no agreement it will be necessary to contact the admin, where it will be impossible to play the match for unavailability of both captains, the match will be considered canceled. (0 points for both teams)
In case of no-show of the team, after 15 minutes from the scheduled time the match will be considered won by the present team.

6.4.3 Server problems
In case of problems caused by full servers, the collaboration between the two captains is fully appealed. The administrators are committed, in case of widespread server problems, to increase, as far as possible, the days available for the various stages, always appealing to the common sense of the captains.
6.4.4 Insufficient minimum number of players
The forfeit for 3 to 0 will be assigned if one of the two teams will not show up at the pre-arranged date or with a number of players below 7.

6.4.6 Use of the Chat tool

The chat room should be used ONLY by captains to communicate about the game. Any other comment, from the captains themselves or from other players, considered explicitly offensive may lead to a penalty ranging from a warning to exclusion from the tournament, at the discretion of the administration.

note: Definition of warning. The warning is an official warning that is made to the player after which, in case of subsequent infractions, he will be banned from the competition.

6.4.6 Insults

Any form of discriminatory insult will result in a 2-year ban from any Poseidon League and Esports Rivals competition, and blacklisting.

7. Withdrawals 
The withdrawals of the teams will be managed by the admins depending on the games played, if a team decides to retire will be replaced with a team in the reserve list, which in turn must accept the old results of the team to be replaced in case they had already been played games. 

8. COMPLAINTS 

Every complaint must be followed by clear video evidence. 
Each complaint must be sent in writing on telegram channel to admin within 24 hours of the alleged offense.
Complaints made after the time limit or if they are poorly documented will not be taken into consideration.
In these cases the result of the match will be homologated.
