League rules

• In All Pick mode you are free to pick whatever class and deck you'd like without declaring it to your opponent.

• This league features 1 ban which means each player bans 1 of the 10 classes which their opponent will not be able to play by typing the banned class in your private match lobby chat. The leftmost player in the match starts banning followed by the other player each banning 1 class at a time.

• When you get a match with an opponent you are required to play the game, if you do not show up within 5 minutes or refuse to play, an admin will decide whether the match is cancelled or if a default win is handed out. (frequent abuse by not showing up or delaying matches will result in a warning and ultimately getting banned)

• Picking a class which have been banned will result in a default win for the other player of that game unless the other player agrees to replay.

• If a player is disconnected the opponent can claim a win for that game after 3 minutes have passed, make sure to take a screenshot showing the timer.

• You must not delete your opponent from your friends list until the entire match has been completed.

• If there are ties in ladder score at the end of the ladder, win rate will be used as the first tie breaker. If there are still ties remaining, tie breaker matches may be issued or global ranking score may be used depending on the situation and number of tied players.
