Rules | wd2l

Basic Rules.

Scheduling

Default times are 21:00 EST for US based matchups and 21:00 GMT for EU based teams. You are expected to play at these times unless both teams agree to a reschedule, which should be discussed two days prior. If rescheduling becomes a problem please contact an admin.

Forfeits

The only way the team can be forfeited is if they don't show up on time. The other team has 15 minutes to join the lobby. If they don't join the lobby take a screenshot and contact an admin as soon as it happens. Please stay in the lobby until an admin can confirm the forfeit.

Reporting and Disputes

To report your scores send an email to us simply with both team names and the score. For example TEAM A 2-0 TEAM B. If both teams send in they won we will request proof.

Behavior

Be respectful to your opponent. This is not a pub game, this is an organized event. Any team that repeatedly insults or flames their opponent will be subject to removal from the league.

Stand ins

Stand ins are allowed! Try to limit it to at most 3 stand ins. If you are having trouble finding stand ins go to our group chat on Dota and see if anyone wants in!

Servers

Default server for US teams is USE, default server for EU teams is EUW. Feel free to change this if both teams agree. If there is a disagreement, the default is to be used.

Pauses

Teams are allowed three 3 minute pauses a game. Abusing pauses, or not respecting the wait time will result in a forfeit of the current game. Repeated abuse will result in permanent removal from the league.

Please note Western Dota 2 League has the ability to remove you from the league at any time due to and not limited to rules violation, perceived cheating, hacking, etc. We also retain the authority to deny you items upon winning the playoffs if we believe foul play has been involved. In most cases you will have the chance to argue your case, but we will thoroughly investigate each incident to ensure no mistakes are made by either party.
