ROOT Digital League

Rules Root Digital league

Root Digital League is a fun and informal way to play Root using the digital app. League games are highly competitive and entertaining, organized over the length of an established season, and results are reported and tracked.

GAME SETUP

Season M01 begins January 1 at 12:00 am (UTC) and continues until March 31, 11:59p (UTC).
You may join league at any time, but you must register at https://rootleague.pliskin.dev/auth/register/ first.
All league games must be played with AdSet including all faction expansions (if you don’t own all the available expansions, you will not be able to create league games, but you can still join them).
Select the appropriate icon in the #role-menus channel LFG selector to get the league LFG role.
Use -lfg rootdigleague [fun/unique game name, live/async, deck, clearings, 2d VB, etc.] command in #root-lfg channel to organize games and automatically ping the league LFG role.
When the table is full, click the check mark icon and the bot will automatically create a post with your game details in the league forum channel, assign the “game” tag, and ping the 4 subscribed players to it.
Use -rand map in the game play post for a random map selection.
Game hosts should post draft selection as well as turn order in the game post (we are tracking this data).

DISQUALIFICATION

There have always been bugs and exploiting them is part of digital life. However, per RDL tradition, if a bug is truly gamebreaking and the other players agree, the game can be abandoned. If the win was indisputably yours (in the final round only) and your competitors agree, you can log the win.

Players can be disqualified from league play if they:

Time out or resign intentionally
Participate in private/side chats about game strategy
Intentionally break any rule in order to void a game or register a voided game
Do not observe the Woodland Warriors Discord community guidelines at #server-rules

Players may report these issues at: https://bit.ly/rdl-dq.

COMMENTS & FEEDBACK

Any comments/feedback should be posted to the main discord League channel, so they can be discussed by the league and potentially incorporated into the following season.
