GBPL key rules to know:

1. Face off: At the beginning of every game both teams will be summoned to a specific spot on whichever pub map is up. Once the players are all in place there will be a *wipe all, *getball (in the middle), and *timer 15. Once the ball is summoned in between the two teams then the game is on so don’t wait, go for the ball. To make this easy please do not move away from where you are summoned before the faceoff, and do not sit on walls. The penalty for delaying the faceoff will just be that you will not be included in it. You will be summoned all the way inside your goal area while it is going on. This will be at ref discretion, but they will be advised to be lenient and non-biased.

2. Losers ball: After every goal scored the team that got scored on will have the ball summoned into their defensive zone on or near their defensive cut line. The rule following the *getball is that the team that has scored cannot pick up the ball unless it respawns center. If the team who scored does pick up the ball then it will be *getballed one line closer to the “losers” goal with the same rule entailed. The “loser” team can force this by using specials correctly. If the team who broke the rule does it again then the ball will move another line closer, and it can move all the way to the line in the goal. If it is determined that a player is “sabotaging” their team with this rule then they will be immediately taken out of the game and banned from the league for the remainder of this season unless pardoned by the chairmen. If there is a saboteur then the ball won’t move to another line it will stay *getballed to the line where the infraction occurred. Lastly, if a ref forgets to do this due to being afk or retarded (like me) then the same rules will apply wherever the ball has spawned on the map.

3. Cut back line: On each side of whichever map is currently up in pub for the GBPL there is a cut line with rules attached. The cut back line is the “30” line. The “30” is in the very center of the line vertically and the line is also the second from the east or west wall on each map. The way this line works is once the offensive team passes the line and completes a pass on the other side then the ball cannot pass back over the line. If it does go over the line then the ball will be *getballed to the center of the defensive cutline and the same rules stated in the “losers ball” above will go into effect. Another rule here is that if a team steals the ball in their offensive zone that player can clear it to the other side of the cut line or the person who catches a pass from him can. Once there is a second completed pass the line is active and the ball cannot pass over it. Here are a few examples:

A player on team A passes from behind the line to a player who is on the other side of it. Once this player catches the ball he can still pass it back over the line.
A player on team A crosses the line with the ball and passes back over to a teammate. This is legal.
A player on team A crosses the line and passes to a teammate who also has passed the line. The cut line rule now is active.
A player on team A crosses the line and passes to a player right near the cut line who catches the ball and then is pded back over the line by a player on team B. In this case the cut line rule became active and was violated due to a timely special by a player on team B.
If team A steals the ball in their offensive zone, the player who stole it passes to his teammate who then clears on the other side of the cut line this is legal. Once there is a second pass made then they may not clear it back over the cut line as the rule is active again.

Overtime: In the event of a tie at the end of the 15 minute regulation timer the game will go into a 4 vs 4 OvD (offense vs defense) mode. Each captain will be required to choose 4 players to be in at a time for either offense or defense. Subbing will also be allowed but must be done in a very timely manner. Each team’s 4 players will have 3 chances to score on the other team’s 4 defenders. Each goal attempt will have a one minute timer. The team that ends up with more goals will win the game. If there happens to be a tie then there will be a snake style OvD for the win.
