Complaints & Court Costs

3 rules

You have a case when you have three things: a specific play, a specific rule and a clip. Talk to the other coach first — most things settle in five minutes. Posting in league chat is not filing.

  • Filing fee: 3 LP, charged when you submit.
  • Ruled valid: the 3 LP comes back, plus a +0.5 LP bonus — automatically.
  • Unsubstantiated: the 3 LP is gone, and a baseless or bad-faith filing can draw a further LP penalty.
  • A YouTube clip is required — trim your stream archive to the play. No clip, no case.
  • Name the rule and the situation: down, distance, quarter, what happened.
  • Your filing is private. A published ruling leaves your name off.
  • The office answers in writing, cites the rule, and may apply an LP penalty. The ruling and any LP that moved go on the record.
