Applies to every participant

Code of conduct

Required standards for players, substitutes, captains, coaches, directors, staff, broadcasters, spectators, and community members.

Expected behavior

Communicate respectfully; welcome women, new players, developing programs, smaller schools, disabled participants, and historically excluded communities; compete honestly; arrive prepared; follow staff directions; protect private information; and report results accurately.

Prohibited behavior

Harassment, discrimination, slurs, threats, stalking, sexual misconduct, retaliation, cheating, account sharing, smurfing, unauthorized tools, exploits, match fixing, betting, bribery, intentional disruption, false evidence, doxxing, and platform abuse are prohibited.

Competitive integrity

Participants must use eligible accounts and rosters, disclose material technical problems, preserve original evidence, avoid conflicts of interest, and never wager on league competition or manipulate a match.

Coaches, spectators, and broadcasts

Coaching, observation, streaming, and communication are allowed only as stated in the title rulebook. Spectators may not relay hidden information, disrupt play, or contact participants abusively.

Reporting

Use official support or confidential safety routes. Include the match or incident reference, what happened, when it happened, relevant participants, and original screenshots, clips, or logs. Do not post allegations or sensitive evidence publicly.

Response and privacy

Reports are acknowledged, triaged, assigned to appropriately scoped staff, and retained according to policy. The league limits disclosure, avoids publicly labeling an accused person, and prohibits retaliation.

Potential consequences

Education, warning, communication restriction, match or map penalty, forfeit, standings adjustment, suspension, role removal, disqualification, league removal, or referral to an institution or appropriate authority. Decisions consider severity, intent, impact, history, and safety.

Appeals

An appeal must identify a material factual, procedural, jurisdictional, or rule-application error and follow the published deadline. An appeals officer not responsible for the original decision reviews the record where practical.
