Game Rules

Introduction

Welcome to Player Match Zone! We are excited to have you as part of our community. To ensure fair play, safety, and a fun experience for all users, we have established the following fantasy basketball rules. By participating in any games through the platform, you agree to follow these rules.

1. Fair Play

All players must respect others and adhere to the principles of fair play. Cheating, using unauthorized tools or hacks, or engaging in any activities that provide an unfair advantage (such as using scripts or bots) will not be tolerated. Any player found engaging in such behavior will be banned from the platform.

2. Respect and Sportsmanship

Good sportsmanship is essential to creating a positive and respectful environment. All players should behave respectfully toward others, both during and after the game. This includes refraining from any form of bullying, harassment, or offensive language. Players who violate this rule may be subject to penalties, including account suspension.

3. Team Setup

In fantasy basketball, players are responsible for setting up their fantasy teams within the platform’s guidelines. Teams should be formed based on the salary cap and player restrictions provided for the event. Violating team composition rules will result in disqualification.

4. Player Selection

Players should only select players for their fantasy teams that are available within the rules of the competition. Any attempt to manipulate player stats or falsely select ineligible players will lead to penalties or a ban from the platform.

5. Scoring System

The scoring system for fantasy basketball is based on real-world player performance in professional basketball games. Players will earn points based on statistics such as points scored, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, and turnovers. You can view the detailed scoring system on the tournament's information page.

6. Match Conduct

During the competition, players must adhere to the platform’s rules, including fair team setup, strategic player choices, and abiding by the fantasy scoring system. Disruptive or fraudulent behavior during a fantasy basketball match will lead to penalties, including suspension or permanent banning from the platform.

7. Player Injuries

In case of player injuries, the real-world player’s performance will still be recorded and factored into the game’s scoring system. However, players are encouraged to keep an eye on injuries and make adjustments to their fantasy teams accordingly. We do not offer any compensation for missed points due to player injuries.

8. Reporting Violations

If you encounter any violations of the game rules or experience inappropriate behavior from another player, please report it through the platform's reporting system. Our team will investigate the issue and take appropriate action to resolve the matter.

9. Substitution Rules

In fantasy basketball, substitutions for injured or underperforming players must be made within the allowed timeframes and restrictions outlined for each game. Make sure to monitor your roster and adjust when necessary. Failing to make substitutions within the time limit may result in lost points for your team.

10. Alcohol and Drug Use

Alcohol or drugs are strictly prohibited during fantasy basketball tournaments. Players who are found under the influence of alcohol or drugs during matches may face disqualification and a permanent ban from the platform.

11. Age Restrictions

Players must be at least 18 years old to participate in fantasy basketball matches. For certain events, additional age restrictions may apply. Players under 18 may still participate in friendly matches or community events with parental consent.

12. Event Rules

For organized fantasy basketball tournaments and special events, specific rules may apply depending on the event format. Players must familiarize themselves with these event-specific rules before participating. Any violation of event-specific rules can result in disqualification from the tournament.

13. Match Cancellations

If a tournament or fantasy game needs to be canceled due to unforeseen circumstances (e.g., technical issues, real-world events), the match organizer should notify all players as soon as possible. Players should also be understanding if a cancellation occurs and be prepared to reschedule or find an alternative match.

14. Platform Guidelines

In addition to the fantasy basketball-specific rules, players must adhere to the general platform guidelines, including creating a respectful profile, using appropriate language, and abiding by the platform’s terms and conditions. Violating platform guidelines can result in suspension or banning from Player Match Zone.
