Players
All members in a clan are eligible to play for that clan in this league, but the players must be signed up in the clan's official list in the clan's profile.
All players signed up in a clan's official list can't play for another clan in the same season. Members can't play with smurfs account, if they do they will be punished removing points or even kicking the entire clan out of the league, depending on our staffs decision.
The clan's official list must be posted at the beginning of the season. Any clan may edit it at anytime before playoffs. After playoffs started, your clan can't edit its list.
If your clan signed up 2 teams and only 1 could qualify to playoffs, the members in the loser team can't play in the winning team.
All members must play all games with the nickname that he signed up in the clan's list. If you ignore this rule, the set of games may be void and points removed.
All nicknames signed up in the clan's list must belong to a voobly username. All games must be played in voobly's tournament lobby

If it's arabia, Sling isn't allowed
We allow giving resourses after min 35
Sling: One or more team members tributes res to another team member so he can out mass his enemy killing him, usuall involves the "Slinged" player playing 2v1 as the guy who is "Slinging" sends all his resources to his ally with no resources left to make army.
Tribute to revive: Sending res to an ally because he is dead so he can rebuild his economy faster. In this case the tributed guy would use the resources to rebuild his economy and maybe defend only, not to push or kill an enemy.
Special maps:
LN: When you're playing land nomad you are not allowed to attack your enemy until TC’s are build. Walling of lumbercamps, tc’s etc is not allowed. This includes killing sheeps, vills wars, building palisades, etc. If something like this happens, the game must start again. The game will restart also if any player started with a trapped vil. Your fist building after the lumber camp must be a town center or a house (to avoid militia rush)
Advice: The ES@ maps, you must tell your enemy in advance if u wish to pick any of these maps so your enemy can familiarise themselves with it before the game commences.

If clans can't set a date before friday 24GMT, their game will be played in Admin Time (Sunday at 19:00GMT) This date may be changed by our staff at anytime.
If a clan doesn't reply in the scheduling topic before the latest time of Friday 24GMT, this clan will get an admin lose.
If your opponent doesn’t show up at the scheduled time, wait 40mins, take a screenshot of ur clan ready to play with the website http://www.worldtimeserver.com/current_time_in_UTC.aspx also in the picture so the time is shown clearly.
Advice: If you change the date of your games by msn or in voobly, take screenshot and post your chat in the league forum.
The agreement about the date/time must complete by both clans at least 36 hours before the scheduled date. The time limit to play your games will be sunday at 24GMT, after that the next round starts.
Only the leaders of each clan can post in the league forum. Post by other members of the clan will be ignored and deleted.
If you couldn't play your match, then our staff will decide which clan gets the points (without playing)
Your clan must upload the records of your games.
Game stats, outcomes and positions:
Each won game worths 3 points, and each lost match worths 1 (you get 1 points for losing the game only if you played it). If a team leaves the league all games vs this team will count as won, no matter the real outcomes.
how to solve in-game problems:
If a game starts lagging pause the game and try to fix the lag. if it's still laggy (unplayable), save the game and restore it later.
If when you restore it it's laggy again, start a new game (if the game lasted less than 5 minutes). If it was longer, then post the game and our staff will review it and make a decision.
If a players loses his connection, the game must be saved and restored or replayed (if it lasted less than 5 minutes). Else, post the game in our forums and our staff will review it and make a decision.
If the same team lost connection 3 times, then the other team will win the games by default.
If the game can't be restored for technical issues in one team, this team will lose the match. Only if this team was clearly winning, you can post the game and our staff will take a decision.
Posting outcomes:
All games must be posted as soon as you finish playing it. The winner team is who must upload the games, Please rename your recorded game file, it must be posted like this: LMA4_Round_X__Team_A_vs_Team_B__Map.mgx
