Scheduling and Playing your games:

• E-mail, PM, or AIM xXTHeEddYXx if your opponent is not responsive.  You could be taken for inactive as well if you don’t notify us.
• You must have an active AIM account to contact your opponents.  It’s key to being able to schedule games quickly.

If you know someone who has breached these rules, report him immediately to the commissioner that corresponds to your league (BIGD – 360 Eddy – 360 and PS3).  If you make a false accusation, you will be banned from the league.  The burden of proof is on the accuser.
