Playing in Good Faith

Last updated Oct 6, 2026

No rulebook names every way to play badly, and this one does not try. Abusing a mechanic nobody wrote down, manufacturing a result you did not earn, gaming the schedule, or reading a rule's silence as permission is a violation on its own. "It wasn't in the rulebook" is not a defense.

Report it with the clip through Complaints. The commissioner reviews the film, hears both sides and rules case by case — severity, intent and history. A ruling can correct a result, note a coach's record, pull commits, or remove a coach.
