Upcoming rule change in the Federations League

25-10-2024 14:00

As of the upcoming Federations League season, starting on November 15, we are introducing a small but important rule change regarding First Team selection. Based on community feedback, members will no longer be allowed to switch between First Teams within the same league group, during an ongoing Federations League season. This rule applies once you have participated in at least one clash for a federation.

The purpose of this change is to prevent federations from manipulating the outcome of a league group by strategically transferring members between federations to, for example, assist in defeating a mutual rival.

Example of how it will work:
If you are selected to play for a federation in Division 2.2, you will not be able to join the First Team of any other federation in Division 2.2 for the remainder of the season. However, you are still free to join the First Team of any federation in a different group, such as Division 2.1, 2.3, 2.4, or any entirely different division like Division 1 or Division 3.

If you wish to move to another First Team within your current league group, you must wait until the final clash of the Federations League season has concluded.

Please note that even if you don't actively participate in a clash by playing matches, you are still considered a participant once you are selected for a clash and it has begun.
