Introduction to 6v6 PS ESHL Revive Series Event #2 After a super successful Event #1 behind us I would like to congratulate Vertigo on finishing first in the revive series event #1. Next I want to thank everyone who signed up and played in the event. There were many super close and competitive games that were extremely fun to watch. We capped out at the full 32 teams actually turning some teams away. Its so crazy seeing how much interest there is for competitive NHL here on the PS side that alone makes what im doing worth it. This Week we need to build on the momentum we gained week 1, I personally think week 2 is the most important week of this series to show the interest on PS for competitive NHL is consistent and is here to stay and want to grow and expand. That being said lets get into the details for this week and the rest of the series.

"PSN Eligibility To be defined as a PSN player you must either 1) Currently participate in LGPSN or 2) Have played 3+ seasons of PSN. (This is a specific rule, however all staff hold the right to deny a player participation if we feel they are not doing it to help PS4, even if they meet previous criteria. In this case if a ruling like that is made, said player will be made aware, as will the community). In-Game Rules Games will be played on Central or East Servers ( unless otherwise agreed to by both teams). If 2 teams can not pull an east or central server the game will be marked as forfeit to the team with the fewest West Players. Goal posts MUST be a dark colour. Offensive player and team names must not be used - specifically racist, sexist, or hateful. If a team is using an offensive name they will be required to back out, change their name, and take a penalty. Any goal score that is removed by the game "looping" back will count as long as their is video evidence to show that the goalie was scored prior to the loop. Disconnection Procedures When a player(s) lag out from a game, the play will continue UP UNTIL THE NEXT PERIOD. All penalties up until the next period will need to be honored up restarting the game. All goals scored up until the next period will count. Once the next period occurs, the goalie on the team who had a player lag out will be required to quit the game. All penalties that were active prior to the lagout are require to be taken again. If a penalty had only one minute remaining(as an example) that penalty is to be taken ONE MINUTE prior to the play resuming. EX: if Team A had a player lag out at the 10 minute mark of period 2 and was shorthanded(1 minute remaining on the penalty), and quit the game at the 9 minute mark of period one. When the game resumes, Team A is required to honor their penalty by taking a delay of game penalty at the 10 minute mark of period one, then resume play at the 9 minute mark of period one. player who lagged out will need to take a 2 mim penalty before play can resume. The Tournament Staff members reserve the right to review any in game situation make the appropriate ruling based on the situation that has occurred. In a situation whereby the staff determine a goalie has quit out of the game during a break-way, penalty shot, or any situation that would result in a goal, the staff reserve the right to award said goal upon restart of the game.
