If a player disconnects, the game will continue without pause under all circumstances.

• It is the sole responsibility of the player and their team to reconnect and rejoin the match as quickly as possible.
• The referee will not revert any goals, fouls, or game events that occur while the player is disconnected.
• Teams are allowed to substitute a player if the disconnected player does not return, but the match must proceed uninterrupted.
• The referee will only record the incident in the match report, noting the time and context of the disconnection.

Rule: Intentionally wasting time by deliberately kicking the ball out of bounds multiple times to run down the clock while leading is prohibited.

Examples:

• Repeatedly kicking the ball out of play with no intent to continue gameplay.
• Stalling play deliberately without engaging in meaningful actions.

Allowed: Passing the ball around, including back to the goalkeeper, as part of legitimate gameplay is acceptable.

Rule: Substitutions are only permitted at the end of a leg or the start of a leg. Midgame substitutions are allowed but:

• The match will not stop or pause for a substitute to join.
• It is entirely the team’s responsibility to manage the substitution quickly.
• No goals scored during the substitution process will be reverted.

Rule: Players or team managers are allowed to make complaints and contact the admins to address concerns, but using inappropriate language, swearing at the referee, or making disrespectful comments toward the referee will result in severe penalties. Excessive complaints without valid proof will also lead to penalties.

If the ball becomes stuck or unplayable due to a bug or glitch, the referee will:

• Announce to both teams that the server will be reset.
• Resume the match in a new server from the same minute the ball became stuck. For example, if the ball becomes stuck at the 20th minute, the new match will play 70 additional minutes to complete 90 minutes.
• Goals scored after the reset but before the adjusted time does not count, even if scored during the resumed play.
• The referee must clearly state the minute the match ended on the original server and log this in the match report.

Rule: Teams must only field players officially signed through the league’s transaction channels. Signings made in private messages or unofficial channels will not be recognized.

• Non-signed players are considered illegal and cannot participate.

Stop the match and anchor the ball with :anchor.

If caught within the first 30 minutes of the game:

• The referee removes the unauthorized player using :kick (user).
• The player is issued a red card :rc (user) and their team continues with one less player.
• Resume the match once the issue is resolved.

If caught after 30 minutes of gameplay:

• This is not the referee’s responsibility to enforce proactively but the team manager’s responsibility to ensure compliance.
• The match is declared an automatic forfeit for the team fielding the unauthorized player.

Rule: Managers are responsible for ensuring the correct players are on the field and verifying substitutions are valid. If an illegal player (e.g., unregistered or unapproved substitute) is on the field:

• The match may be restarted or the player may be kicked from the server.
• Managers must notify the referee of any substitution mistakes within the first 10 in-game minutes.

Conditions:

• If the referee is not notified within the allotted time, the leg will NOT be restarted, and the match will continue as is.
• Managers are expected to check and confirm their lineups before the match starts and promptly report any errors.

Rule: Players engaging in trolling behavior, including intentionally disrupting the game, wasting time for no reason, or creating distractions to annoy other participants, will face penalties. This includes any behavior aimed at undermining the integrity of the match, such as deliberately performing actions to frustrate the opponent or the referee.

Referees must remain unbiased and professional throughout the match. Personal opinions or favoritism are prohibited.

Referees must arrive at least 15 minutes before the match to ensure readiness. Review all necessary commands and game rules prior to starting.

Referees must strictly enforce TL rules without exceptions unless directed by the league management.

Examples:

• Time-wasting penalties must be issued promptly.
• Illegal players must be removed immediately.

Referees must use approved commands as outlined in the Referee Command Guide. Misuse of commands, such as rolling players incorrectly, will result in review.

Ensure that any disputed decision is supported by a replay or clip. Accept appeals if valid clips are provided within league deadlines.

Maintain clear communication with team captains for any decisions, stoppages, or disputes. Use announcements in the match highlights channel to notify all players of match updates or decisions.

If a match cannot continue due to extreme circumstances (e.g., server issues, mass disconnects):

• Resume only if the issue is resolved within a reasonable time.
• Pause the timer.
• Notify both teams and league management.

Submit a full match report after every game, including:

• Final score.
• Cards issued.
• Any significant events or incidents.

Referees must make decisions based on game rules and match events, not external pressures.

Referees must remain fully attentive to the game they are officiating. Engaging in distractions such as eating, playing other games, or multitasking during the match is strictly prohibited.

Treat all players, managers, and staff with respect, regardless of circumstances.

Referees are strictly prohibited from officiating matches involving their own teams, including any team they are managing, coaching, or playing for.
