Any owner that shows that establishes a proven history of breaking this, or any other EAFL rules will be removed from the league.

So just doing it for one game has no negative recourse? Even if its the entire second half? Also, what if the owner does have a track record for doing it? More than one owner complains about it? Does the outcome of the game stay? I can recall the playoffs last season, one team simply ran the clock down to the 2 minute warning and was badgered about it... much less a whole 7 mins...

Anyone can accuse anyone else of breaking a rule without any proof at least once. If you were the accused, I'm sure you'd appreciate being given the benefit of the doubt. If an owner has a track record of milking, his most current offense will be penalized accordingly. As far as going back to change the outcomes of games; those situations are handled on a case-by-case basis. The owner that admitted to (several times), and had evidence of his infraction of the clock management/milking rule presented, was not badgered; we just simply penalized him.

Ok, just what sort of evidence can/should I provide?

Video clearly showing the offense done over an extended part of the game, that includes gamertags shown for both owners in the game; and photos, or forwarded evidence of correspondence, between you and the offending owner showing him clearly confessing to the rule infraction; are two examples of the sort of evidence that can be presented.

Please be advised that if any owner is found to have falsely accused another owner of a rule violation; especially if they tried to use fraudulent evidence; will be penalized just as severely (if not more) as any owner breaking any other rule.

So basically I need to record my madden games... So that in the instance someone has a violation, I can then upload it to my computer(my camcorder doesnt do this) and send it in as evidence. Or a photo of clock running..? Seems like a very serious way to play madden. But understandable, you dont want to be able to accuse just anyone. I doubt I will ever care this much... so I guess I will need learn to live with people breaking rules that arent easy to prove. Even when more than one owner has clearly accused them of doing so. Thx for clearing this up for me and everyone else that may care.

All an owner needs to do is file an official complaint as soon as possible after the alleged rule infraction has taken place. Please note that, witchhunts consisting of other owners piggy-backing onto one owner's complaint, way after their own accounts of rule infractions occured, will not be considered. Of course, videos, photos, and transcripts, are great ways to supplement an official complaint; but we know that option may not be available to all owners here; so, we also look to see if the owner had prior official complaints filed against him in leiu of that.


Falconfish, if you really think that this league is ran in an unfair manner, you can always leave. If I was in a league that I thought was being ran in an unfair manner, I would definitely leave it too.

This was really unnecessary. Enforcing rules is not an exact science, we will enforce as we see fit, all people have to do is follow the rules and file a complaint if someone breaks one...

League members play, commishes will commish.
