Due Dates
Battles will be set up Mondays. Check In's due on Wednesday. Failure to check in results in a DQ (We will be watching this). Punches are due on Thursday by 11:59 P.M. EST. Voting ends on Sunday, 11:59 P.M. EST.
No-Shows
No-shows will not be allowed, one punch a week is not that hard, if you no-show once, you will be placed on the back burner. Once you're placed on the back burner, if you want to battle more, you will need to check back in into the "Sign Up/Sign Out" thread.
Extensions
Extensions will be granted, but only under one condition. Your opponent has to agree to the extension prior to the drop time on Thursday. If you fail to follow this and simply drop late with an excuse, you will be DQ'ed
Biting/Recycling
Biting in the 1-2 punch league will result in a life time ban. There's no exception for biting or recycling. Let’s be fresh and original as its only 2 lines per week.
Editing
The first person to drop their punch will be able to edit their punch until the second persons punch. The second person to drop will have until the first vote is cast to edit their punch. Any breaking of this rule will be an automatic DQ so I suggest no one assumes someone is no-showing.
Feeding
Feeding will not be tolerated in the league and will be an automatic DQ. Staff will be the final judge on whether we believe a punch was feed on or not.
Voting
A brief explanation will do, staff will be the judge if a vote gets DQ'ed. You need to have more than a couple words though. Two lines of feed is sufficient with only two punches to judge.
KO
If a battle reaches a vote count of 7-0, the battle will be closed. It's a clear win and this will spread out the voting instead of having 20 votes in one battle.
Aliases
You are only permitted to sign and post in this forum under one name, the name you signed up with. (If you have a legit reason, we'll talk.) There is too much confusion about who is who and I'm not about to IP check all of you.
Name Changes
If you feel the need to change your name during the season. Then either post in the Sign Up/Sign Out thread, or pm the 1-2 staff of the change.
Sign Ins/Sign Outs
If you know you're going to be gone for a short period of time, or just don't feel like competing anymore, then post in the Sign In/Sign Out thread. Same goes for new members that wish to compete, or returning members that were placed on the Back Burner. The thread will be located in the 1-2 Punch Office.
