6. BM/Toxicity

  • Our organization takes any forms of BM or toxicity seriously. Players should imagine that collegiate and professional recruiters may watch your game play at any time. Any form of BM or toxicity will not be tolerated and may result in warnings, player ban, team ban, and team removal from the season with no refunds. This includes but is not limited to:
    • Spamming quick chat lines
    • Using quick chat lines in a toxic manner ("Nice shot!" after a miss, "What a save!" after a goal, etc.)
    • Cursing in game chat
    • Cursing in voice chat
    • Use of any slurs or derogatory language in game chat, LeagueOS chat, or any other form of communication

We are here to have fun and compete in a friendly environment. Please keep that in mind when playing in our league. While we understand that not all schools can stream or record, we do ask for some kind of evidence if a report is made. It is hard to take action without evidence to point to.
