Post Conduct And Communication Standards

COMPETE4EVER CONDUCT AND COMMUNICATION STANDARDS

Standards are subject to change at any time.


CONDUCT:

1: Use common sense.

2: Treat others as you'd like to be treated.

3: Friendly trash talk is expected in any kind of competition, but abusive language and poor sportsmanship will not be tolerated at COMPETE4EVER. Doing so could lead to your removal from the league and community. If you have beef with an opponent, be tactful with your accusations, and take it up with a Commissioner if necessary. Please don't berate one another publicly; -think if you would say this to a person’s face offline!

4: Understand that you and every other member of this community represent COMPETE4EVER. –Let’s all do our part to make COMPETE4EVER a community that everyone would be proud to become a part of!

5: You are also expected to abide by the Compete4ever forum guidelines. They can be seen here: http://compete4ever.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5

6: COMPETE4EVER management reserves the right to not take commissioners, owners, or leaders of other leagues into our own leagues. They are typically too busy with their own leagues, as well as having the potential to spam our league members to join their leagues. Please do NOT use the COMPETE4EVER Forums, COMPETE4EVER chats, and/or COMPETE4EVER e-mail to recruit for other leagues in any way, shape or form. Should this happen, that person will be removed from the COMPETE4EVER Leagues and Community immediately, without notice.

7: USING RUDE AND ABUSIVE LANGUAGE WHEN COMMUNICATING WITH C4 STAFF IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR ANY REASON. THEY ARE EXPECTED TO BE COURTEOUS, HELPFUL, AND AT LEAST CIVIL TO EVERYONE IN REGARDS TO ANYTHING IN AND AROUND COMPETE4EVER; THE SAME SHOULD BE RECIPROCATED TO THEM. ANYONE THAT SHOWS THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT WILL BE DEALT WITH ACCORDINGY.


*EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY 6/15/17 at 3:29AM ET* For any wagers setup in any publicly viewable C4 channels (Discord chat/forum message board):

1: They are payable on a one-by-one basis immediately after each associated game/event. Any rematches/runbacks/etc will be negotiated after payment for the prior wager is received by the winner.

2: Gameplay rules will always default to the ruleset for the highest level of competition for said game. For example, Madden = MCS rules. There will be no modifications of these rules.

3: Any scams/schemes used to not pay or recover/charge-back money lost in a wager will result in the offending player being banned indefinitely from all non MCS sanctioned C4 leagues, tournaments, channels, and communities.

4: These rules/conditions are non-negotiable, even between opponents and wager participants.


COMMUNICATION:

1: Your own Compete4ever forums profile is required. You can register for a Compete4ever forums profile at: http://compete4ever.com/forum/register.php .

2: Your own dedicated Xbox Live Gamer tag and/or Playstation Network ID is required for league games. You are responsible for maintaining those accounts to ensure that you'll be able to fulfill your commitment of finishing your league games. You are responsible for playing YOUR OWN league games. You can access Xbox Live Gamer tag information here: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/default.htm ,and Playstation Network ID information here: http://us.playstation.com/psn/index.htm . You are also required to use Xbox Smartglass and/or the PlayStation App on your mobile phone, tablet, or computer to communicate with fellow leaguemembers on Xbox Live and/or PlayStation Network respectively. You can downlad Xbox Smartglass from: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/smartglass , and the PlayStation App from: http://us.playstation.com/ps4/app/ . Sharing of Xbox Live Gamer tags and/or Playstation Network IDs between Compete4ever league members is strictly prohibited. If it is found out that someone else is intentionally playing league games on your Xbox Live Gamertag and/or Playstation Network ID, you and any other Compete4ever league member involved risks being suspended indefinitely.

3: You are required to have your own dedicated Discord Screen Name. This is used for contacting opponents on your schedule or communicating with them during league games. You can sign up for Discord here: https://discordapp.com/register .

4: League members are required to have a computer that they have regular access to. This is to allow you to access your league forum(s), report league game scores, as well as coordinate game times with your scheduled opponents.

5: PSN/XBL, Compete4ever forum posts, and Discord are the required options to coordinate C4 gametimes. Texting is OPTIONAL, but has been found to work pretty well with owners that have proven themselves trustworthy enough to do that with. Phone numbers should be sent via C4 PM, PSN/XBL, or Discord DM. These forums can be viewed by anyone; there's no reason why you should be posting your phone numbers publicly here. -Remember, phone texting is OPTIONAL; you can't make it the only option available to your opponent. If your opponent isn't comfortable giving you their number via texts, you must still use PSN/XBL, the C4 forums, and Discord to coordinate gametimes.

6: All Compete4ever league members are required to use ALL of the required tools and methods of communication to coordinate game times with their scheduled opponents.


GAMETIME SCHEDULING WITH YOUR OPPONENTS:

1. In normal "Play Now" Compete4ever Leagues, League schedules are completely open. This means you can play any of your opponents at any time in the regular season. Make sure you put your Madden name in your C4 Forum profile so we don't get any imposters! For Franchise and Dynasty leagues, you must play opponents in the order that the Online Franchise or Dynasty feature dictates. The home team is responsible for sending the challenge; both teams are responsible for making sure settings are correct.

2. Please reach out to the commissioner of your league if you're having a difficult time getting responses from your opponents. However, be sure to be reasonable when considering the amount of time it takes for your opponent to get back to you.

3. The league requires the completion of every game on your season schedule (100% of 16 games for NFL, etc.). Your activity has a direct impact on your playoff seeding and draft positioning, as well as your spot in the league.
