General Rules

Our rules are to be taken as a code of conduct, but it is every GM's responsability to make sure that their colleagues respect them. WebSim Hockey, in almost every case, will not take position in a league conflict but will rather help resolving it by giving tips on how to reach an agreement and an acceptable resolution of the problem.

Rules are mandatory for all GMs
Ignoring a rule is not an excuse
Game administrators have the absolute right to determine whether a GM has respected the rules or not
The method and effectiveness of a penalty for failing to comply with the rules is at the discretion of the game administrators
GMs that do not respect one of the rules may be excluded from their league through an ejection vote
The most severe penalty is to ban a GM's account and deny access to the site by blocking his IP address
Any specific situation that is not included in the basic rules will be handled on a case-by-case basis
Where there is ambiguity or a difference in rule interpretation, the game administrators reserve the right to make a final decision

It is not allowed:

to own two teams in the same league
to connect or attempt to connect to the account of another GM with malicious intentions
to trade players to another team with intent of giving that team a clear advantage

to obtain advantages in the game in exchange for money (virtual or real)
