<h1>League Rules</h1>
<p>Points marked with (SEALED) refer to sealed leagues only.</p>
<h1>What is a League?</h1>
<p><span class="lemph">Leagues</span> are opt-in events where players play multiple matches over time, earning points and climbing the rankings to earn digital prizes. </p>
<div class="helpimg">
<img src="images/help/league-standings.jpg" alt=""/>
<span>Some players ranked in a past League ran by the <a href="https://lotrtcgpc.net/leagues.html" target="_blank">Player's Council</a>.</span>
</div>
<p>Each win you earn in a League will get you 2 points, and each loss will get you 1 point. Your ranking is based on your total points earned compared to other participants. Tiebreakers are determined by Strength of Schedule, which is shown as "Opponent Win %": basically, players who had strong opponents have a high SoS, and players who played weak opponents have a low SoS.</p>
<p>Players may use different decks in different matches, or may edit the same deck between matches.</p>
<p><span class="lemph">Constructed Leagues</span> are events where players use decks that they have constructed from all cards, limited only by the format used by the League. These leagues are essentially like casual matches, but tracked for point purposes.</p>
<p><span class="lemph">Sealed Leagues</span> on the other hand issue digital sealed product, which players open to get cards to construct decks with. Product will typically mimic the <a href="https://wiki.lotrtcgpc.net/wiki/The_Fellowship_of_the_Ring/Product" target="_blank">actual physical product</a> the game was originally released in: Starter Packs, Booster Packs, and so on. If you join a Sealed League late, don't worry! You will get all of the product from each previous Serie all at once.</p>
<p>Each League is made up of multiple <span class="lemph">Serie</span>; how many depends on how long the event will run. New Series will usually represent an advancement or progression in the League's focus: a new set might be added to the format definition, or additional product might be opened. A single Serie will last a specific amount of time (usually 7 days, but sometimes shorter or longer), and during that period you will be limited to playing a certain number of games in that League. The specific details are available on the Events tab under that League's description.</p>
<h1 id="join">How do I join?</h2>
<p>
Navigate to the Events > Current Leagues tab:
<div class="helpimg">
<img src="images/help/league-1.jpg" alt=""/>
</div>
Then, click on the "See details" button for the league you are interested in:
<div class="helpimg">
<img src="images/help/league-2.jpg" alt=""/>
</div>
And scroll down to the "Join league" button. You may need to refresh your browser afterwards for the registration to take.
<div class="helpimg">
<img src="images/help/league-3.jpg" alt=""/>
</div>
</p>
<h1 id="sealed">How do I make a Sealed deck?</h2>
<p>
When you register with the league as shown above, once the event begins you will be awarded the appropriate sealed product:
<div class="helpimg">
<img src="images/help/league-4.jpg" alt=""/>
</div>
To open your product, open the Deck Builder:
<div class="helpimg">
<img src="images/help/league-5.jpg" alt=""/>
</div>
and then change the "All cards" dropdown to the name of the sealed league, and you'll be presented with all of your packs; click on any pack to rip it open!
<div class="helpimg">
<img src="images/help/league-6.jpg" alt=""/>
</div>
<div class="helpimg">
<img src="images/help/league-7.jpg" alt=""/>
</div>
Construct a deck as normal, using only the cards awarded from your sealed product, and then you can create a table for your league using the Format Dropdown on the main hall. Refresh your browser if you don't see it listed.

<li>Definitions:
<ol type="a">
<li><b style="color:#009f9f">League</b> consists of multiple <b style="color:#009f9f">League series</b> (number - announced with each league).
</li>
<li>Each <b style="color:#009f9f">League serie</b> lasts a fixed amount of days (announced with each league).
</li>
</ol>
</p>
<h1 id="gold">What is Gold for?</h2>
<p>
Gold is a digital currency you earn every week that you log in. Some Leagues have a gold cost to enter; this is to prevent people from easily entering with multiple sock-puppet accounts.
</p>
<h1 id="prizes">What are the Prizes?</h2>
<p>
Prizes in a league are virtual card variants which you can use while building any future decks. You can view and open your prizes in the deckbuilder by changing the All Cards dropdown to My Cards and then adding those cards to decks as normal.
</p>
<ol type="a">
<li>After each win in a League, you earn a single random foil as follows:
<table class="tables">
<tr><th>Win per serie</th><th>Prize</th></tr>
<tr><td>1st, 3rd, 5th, etc.</td><td>Any Random Foil: 69% Common, 20% Uncommon, 10% Rare, 1% Ultra Rare</td></tr>
<tr><td>2nd, 4th</td><td>Random Uncommon foil</td></tr>
<tr><td>6th, 8th</td><td>Random Rare foil</td></tr>
<tr><td>10th, 12th, etc.</td><td>Random Ultra Rare foil: foil set 0 promos, foil set 5-6 AIs, foil set 9 R+, foil Shadows-era Masterworks</td></tr>

<li>Participation:
<ol type="a">
<li>Each <b style="color:#009f9f">Serie</b> in <b style="color:#009f9f">League</b> is played in an announced
format (constructed or sealed).
Most leagues will have the same format throughout the whole duration of it, but there is a chance of
getting a mixed format <b style="color:#009f9f">League</b>
(for example, first week - FotR block, second week TTT block, etc). The format for each serie and/or
league is announced at the beginning of the <b style="color:#009f9f">League</b>.
</li>
<li><b style="color:#009f9f">League</b> starts at an announced date and lasts until specified number of <b
style="color:#009f9f">League series</b> are
played out.
</li>
<li>(SEALED) Player joining a <b style="color:#009f9f">League</b> during a first serie is given a specified
for that
<b style="color:#009f9f">League</b> amount
and type of virtual product (boosters and fixed cards).
</li>
<li>(SEALED) At the beginning of each subsequent serie, each player participating in the <b
style="color:#009f9f">League</b>
is given the
same amount and type of virtual product (boosters and/or fixed cards).
</li>
<li>(SEALED) Player who chooses to join a league after the first serie, is given a product that is a sum of
all the
virtual product he/she would have been given if he joined during a first serie up until the point in
time he/she has chosen to join.
</li>
</ol>
<li>After all the series end within any League, players are given bigger prizes based on their standings:

table with a deck, that
deck is set at that point and any changes done to the deck afterwards, will not be reflected in the game
on that table. If you wish to use a different deck for that game before it starts, leave and rejoin a
table after modifying your deck.

Cheating:
<ol type="a">
<li><b style="color:#009f9f">Cheating will not be tolerated</b> - period.</li>
<li>Cheating includes, but is not limited to - entering <b style="color:#009f9f">League</b> with more than
one account, knowingly
exploiting a system or a card bug, game fixing (deciding the outcome of a rated game in other way than
playing it out) with other players.

<li>Players found cheating (or believed to be - at the administrator/moderator discretion) will be removed

F.A.Q.
<ol type="a">
<li><b>Can I trade cards in a Sealed league?</b><br/>
Cards in a Sealed League cannot be traded. The point of having a Sealed league is to provide players
with limited (semi-random)
access to card pool for building their deck. This, in theory, should give everyone fair chance of
winning, based only on deck-building and play-skill.
</li>
<li><b>When will I get new boosters in a Sealed league?</b><br/>
New product in a Sealed league is given at the beginning of each Serie. This is done automatically.
</li>
<li><b>How do I join a league?</b><br/>
In "Leagues" tab click "See details" for the league you are interested in and then click on the "Join league" button.
If you had enough currency in your account, you will be added to the league.
In case of sealed league, you need to select the league collection in your deck builder
(showing "All cards" by default) to build the deck. To open the packs you see there, just left-click
them.
</li>
</ol>
<li>After any Sealed League ends, all the cards used in the Sealed leagueare lost and DO NOT become part of players' collections.
</li>
</ol>
<h1 id="cheating">Cheating</h2>
<p>
<b>Cheating will not be tolerated</b> - period. We're all here to have a fun time, and people attempting to be petty for the sake of a few fake league points is beyond pathetic.
</p>
<p>
Cheating includes, but is not limited to:
<ol>
<li>Entering any League with more than one account.</li>
<li>Scumming a Sealed League by entering with multiple accounts and re-rolling your opening packs over and over until you get something good.</li>
<li>Knowingly exploiting a system or a card bug.</li>
<li>Game fixing (deciding the outcome of a rated game in other way than playing it out) with other players.</li>
</ol>
</p>
<p>Players found cheating (or believed to be - at the administrator/moderator discretion) will be removed from the League and their accounts may be deleted. This is a friendly environment, where everyone wants to have some fun, so don't spoil it for others.</p>
