       [glow=red,2,300]Scragler Cup League Rules[/glow]
       The Scragler Cup was created to provide its GMs an enjoyable
       active League for committed NHL 14 users to play. The following
       is a list of Rules and Expectations for League Members:
       Settings and Commissioners:
       League Commissioner: Mr-Mo-29
       Assistant Commissioner: Butter_Nutsquash
       Schedule period: 2 weeks with advances occurring Monday and
       Thursday nights at approx. 10pm CST
       Skill Level: Superstar
       Game Style: **** Simulation
       Period Length: 5 minutes
       Season Tie Break: Continuous OT (no shoot-outs)
       Waivers: Off
       Injuries: On
       Roster Management:
       To spread out talent and prevent "hoarding". No keeping players
       over 80 overall in minors. Only exceptions are grandfathered
       long-term contracts (that came with your team and you didn't
       trade for or negotiate) such as luongo's, m. streits, b.
       Richards, b. campbells's etc.
       After a trade has ben completed, it is expected that the GMs sit
       the players involved in the trade until the next league advance
       to avoid injury. Not doing so will result in the trade becoming
       nullified/void, unless another arrangement is made between the
       involved GMs.
       League Forum and Chatzy Site
       - The Leaue Forum provides Scragler Cup members an opportunity
       to look over League Rules, give feedback, inform other members
       of availability, Set your trade block and discuss league events.
       It serves as a valuable tool for GMs and it is expected that
       League members check into the forum regularly.
       - The League chatzy site is located at:
  HTML http://us10.chatzy.com/24086358675150
       
       All GMs are expected to use the chatzy site when possible as it
       brings another great aspect to the GM experience. The purpose of
       the chat site is to enable GMs to communicate with one another
       on aregular basis to talk league trades and availability as well
       as keep up with current events. It is expected that all GMs show
       respect for one another and offensive behaviour will not be
       tolerated.
       GM Activity and Availability
       - The League requires its members reside in North America due to
       scheduling issues created by different time zones
       - It is also a requirement that all league members add their
       fellow members to their PSN friend list
       - Users must be active and play as many games as possible. If a
       user is away for any period of time beyond 24 hours they are to
       set their team to cpu and inform the league commissioner of
       their absence. If a user is away on the last few hours prior to
       an advance with games against other users left to play they may
       be temporarily removed so those games can be played by other
       users. This will most often occur when a team is set to cpu
       control and the team's rosters are not adjusted by the cpu. The
       team Manager will be alerted and they will be allowed to retake
       control of their team upon their return. It is imperative that
       the League Commish is informed of absences. GMs that are
       consistently absent, don't respond to messages on the league
       chat site or on psn, don't play games vs. cpu or don't inform
       the Commissioner of absences will be removed.
       Basic Rules and Expectations:
       - Be respectful to your fellow GMs
       - There is absolutely NO trading with CPU run teams
       - Lagging and Quitting games will NOT be tolerated. If you quit
       a game or it disconnects you are to speak with your opponent and
       replay the game from where it left off with the score as it was
       at the time of disconnect unless another agreement can be made
       Conflict Resolution
       Members are expected to be able to resolve conflicts with other
       members in a polite, reasonable, and professional manner. The
       commissioner or other league officials should be informed of any
       issues or conflicts that cannot be resolved by the parties
       involved. Each situation will be analyzed accordingly and the
       appropriate action will be taken. If issues are unable to be
       resolved the Commissioners will select neutral parties to vote
       on a resolve to the issue.
       Playoff Format and Schedule
       The play-off schedule will consist of 3 days per playoff round
       unless teams finish their games sooner. Arrangements can be made
       to extend up to 1 day in extenuating circumstances which will be
       voted on by a panel of league members. However, the expectation
       is to complete playoff rounds in a timely manner so that those
       GMs not involved can resume the league as soon as possible.
       Players not responding to scheduling messages from opponents or
       avoiding games will be removed so that the other team may play
       the cpu.
       Re-Sign and Free-Agency Schedule
       Re-Sign and Free-Agency periods will commence with day 1 of each
       consisting of 24 hours and the remaining periods of each
       advancing in half day increments.
       Sim Seasons (every 2nd season)
       Regular Season and play-off games will be simmed during these
       seasons. Simmed seasons will have a 24hr (up to 48hrs if
       majority rule) break at the trade deadline to accommodate any
       mid-season moves.  Free-Agency and Re-sign periods will occur as
       per normal.
       
       - Other Rules may be added as necessary
