XOFL League Rules

​

League Format
Welcome our FIFA League on Tradition Sports Online- as of this post the only Xbox One FIFA league here on the site. This league is meant to simply have fun, so bad sports will not be around here very long. I'm not going to tell you what you can and can't do here, just use common sense and abide by the general rules of TSO regarding sportsmanship.


Clubs
We are currently just running random tournaments until we have enough numbers to get a league consistently rolling.


Standings & Points
There are various tournament setups we are going to run, so I can't give anything definitive here at this moment.


Cup Competition
N/A for now.


Player Cards and Suspensions
Red Cards will result in the said player being suspended for the following match week. The league commish will post and communicate this in the weekly fixtures thread.

If a player acquires three yellow cards, he will sit one tournament game.


Game Settings
All games will be played on the following settings:

• Online Friendlies
• Half Length: 8 minutes
• Controls: Manual
• Game Speed: Slow
• Squad Type: Online

League Policies
All TSO League rules are based on fair play and respect for your fellow owner. We are a community that has a primary goal to provide a medium for owners to have fun while encouraging competitive play. The bottom line is to have fun, win or lose. Owners are expected to uphold principles of sportsmanship and fair play at all times and will refrain from running up the score. We are as much in this for the community building aspect as the competitive league play. Owners will be polite and refrain from the use of offensive or abusive language. This is not tolerated under any circumstances. Each owner will play fairly without the use of known glitches or cheats. Non-sportsmanship like behavior will result in your removal from the league. If owners do not respect the league, fellow owners, and its rules you will be removed. This is your warning so removal will be immediate. Everyone is required to read the rules. Ignorance of the rules is no excuse.


Fair Play and Sportsmanship
All disagreements and disputes are to be handled in a professional manner, in private, and involve the owners and commissioner. We all have headsets, so I ask that you all use them during the game to avoid any conflict. Any public display of disrespect toward your opponent will result in your removal from the league. All owners will play within the spirit of the game. Quitting is strictly prohibited. Above all, use common sense and play the game like it is meant to be played. If you follow those two guidelines, you will not have to worry about "cheese" or “glitches”. I am assuming that most of you know the rules of soccer and the spirit of the game, and if you have any problems/thoughts/concerns let us know. Please don't have your team set to attacking for the length of the game as well.. only in times when you feel you need to start "pushing".



Unplayed Games
By joining this league, you are committing to playing two games per week. Or roughly an hour of your time per week. If you feel this will be a challenge or if you have special circumstances, please let us know. If you are going out of town and need an extension, we can accommodate.


Match Results
It is the responsibility of the winning club (on a draw, the away team is responsible) to post the match results in the designated thread for that week. The match results consist of both goals and match bookings. At the minimum, provide a summary that looks like this:

Columbus Crew 5 - 0 Colorado Rapids

Goals:
30' Oduro Trapp
55' Higuain Anor
60' Finlay
64' Oduro Finlay
70' Henry (OG)
78' Tchani Higuain

MotM:
Higuain

Other common things that can add a little more info to your summary, but are easy to find and take note of are the various stats provided at the "match facts" screen postgame. Things included at that page are: shots, possession %, passing accuracy, shot accuracy, cards, corners, and other various tid bits. I suggest that info be included if you want to add more.
