Here are the rules for Hyper Blast Ball Prime competitive play. Some rules may be more leniently enforced than others.
SECTION 1 - Basic Rules; Penalties, Goals, etc.
A goal should be scored if a portion of the green ball crossed the goal line in the net. Goal sensing is 99% correct, however, there are reasons other than goal sensing that will cause a no goal to be called. A no goal can be called if:
-Too many men were present during the play of the goal (only matters if the scoring team has too many men, if the team with too many men gets scored on it is a good goal)
-Using exploits or lag switch to score
-Admin abuse gave a team an unfair advantage, whether it should be an M message or killing someone
Penalties include the following below. SHOULD A PLAYER GET PENALIZED, THEY ARE TO RECEIVE A GAME MISCONDUCT. (subject to change)
-Admin Abuse (any abusive command that affects the other team or gives your team an advantage. This includes commands that blind the players' screen, commands that kill people, etc. If you feel uncomfortable with this penalty, use your admin as little as possible)
-Too Many Men (only 3 players allowed in play per team)
-Cause of a delay of game (most likely happens when one shoots the ball back up into the dispenser, and it gets stuck there.)
Suspensions that are not listed as penalties can also get you a game misconduct. This is usually only when someone exploits, however. A team cannot forfeit off of game misconducts UNLESS the team runs out of players completely. To continue the no goal calls, no goals will also be called if:
-Admin Abuse gave the scoring team an advantage
-The scoring team had too many men on while scoring.
SECTION 2 - Game Scheduling, Final Scores, "Mercy Rule", Valid Game Conditions
When a game is scheduled, the format should be STRICTLY FOLLOWED, NO EXCUSES.
"[Team Acronym] vs [Team Acronym], [insert game server here] at [insert time here] Gold team always goes first and indigo team goes second. IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THIS FORMAT AND USE "[Team Acronym] @ [Team Acronym]" I WILL GET VERY ANNOYED AND CONSIDER YOU GETTING YOUR ADMIN TAKEN AWAY. THIS IS NOT HOCKEY. OR FOOTBALL. OR BASEBALL. OR SOCCER.
The only way to get a mercy rule in Blast Ball is to be winning 5-0. NO OTHER SCORE IS CONSIDERED A MERCY SCORE. I DON'T CARE IF IT IS 81857439050582759302048281-1, BECAUSE THE OTHER TEAM STILL HAS 1 GOAL, WHICH NEGATES MERCY RULE.
To legally play a Blast Ball league game, you need at least 2 players. Discretion of this rule will be advised by staff, as there may be exceptions. After opening faceoff, you can have less than 2 players, as long as you don't completely run out of players (have zero players).
Final scores have a specific way of being posted, and should only be posted by trusted people, mostly staff and captains. E.G "LV 8-3 CHI / F". Games that end in a tie END IN A TIE. Even if overtime is added, if overtime ends with a tie score, the final score will be a tie game. If you win by forfeit, the final score should look like this: "TBS 1-0 SAS / F FFT". Should you win by mercy, the final score should look like: "TBS 5-0 TOR / FM" or "TBS 5-0 TOR / F MERCY".
SECTION 3 - Suspensions and other punishments
Suspension in Hyper Blast Ball Prime is the main punishment of the league. You can get suspended for:
-Major Admin Abuse (kicking or banning the other team)
-Playing on an alternate account while suspended
-Playing on an alternate account for another team (you can play on an alternate account for your own team, as long as you're not suspended)
-Any sort of cheating (bribing, exploiting, etc.)
-Purposefully losing the game (throwing), should be decided on by board of directors and owners
-Using an auto clicker at any time
-Displaying any sort of exploits, software, or methods that are not game mechanics that could give you an unfair advantage (such as lag switching, etc)
WORST CASE SCENARIO YOU COULD BE BANISHED FROM THE LEAGUE. So don't break these rules. ALTERNATE ACCOUNTS FOR HACKED ACCOUNTS OR BANNED ACCOUNTS MUST BE APPROVED BY OWNERS OR BOARD OF DIRECTORS. If you are abusing the wall with unnecessary comments, you may be muted and unable to speak on the wall.
SECTION 4 - Acquiring players
Acquiring players is key in Hyper Blast Ball Prime to success. Acquiring players all starts with the draft, where you go through 8 rounds deciding on who to acquire to your team. Drafted players are forced to be on that team, unless they demand a trade or release. To sign a player, you must message a board of directors or owner, AND HAVE THE PLAYER YOU SIGNED MESSAGE THE OWNER OR BOARD OF DIRECTORS. WE ARE NOT ACCEPTING PICTURE PROOF. If you cannot message us, you may talk to us in-game and say you accept. If you would like to trade a player, you may trade and both captains of the team must say they accepted the trade. The maximum trade limit is 3 for 1. If you deliberately sign or trade for an alternate account, you are to also be responsible for the cheating of said person who played on the alternate account. You can have a maximum of 24 people on your team.
SECTION 5: Special Teams, other rules
Special teams in Blast Ball is considered when a player on the other team has been disabled. In this situation, a player may substitute for a disabled player. If too many men happens during a special teams event, they will have a few seconds to get someone on the bench, unlike normal too many men where it is more often than not an instant penalty. Other rules that are not as important to game play involves this:
-Your team name must be appropriate.
-Your team name cannot be Truth Bullet Squad.
-You cannot draft Iogician, or any other player who declares retirement (retirement must be made official by board of directors).
SECTION 6: Server Ownership
Server Ownership in HBBP is considered when an administrator says "season game". If the server is owned by someone, it is illegal to perform any sort of admin command without the consent of the administrator who has ownership of the server. The administrator who had said "season game" has the rights to perform any commands for or against others, unless it is for a league game. Ownership of the server is relinquished if the administrator reverts it back to a free game, or if the season game command was performed for a league game. Remember, even if ownership of the server is relinquished, admin abuse still applies! Think of ownership being relinquished as every player having ownership of the server. If you don't have the permission of all the players to perform a command, it's probably admin abuse. This does not apply for developers if they need to shutdown the server for updates.
