10.11: 1 PP will equal 1 Point removed from your earned points during the season.
10.20: Depending on what rule you break will determine how many PPs your team will receive. Some rules though depend on how many the Admins think you deserve and there is no set standard to how many you will actually receive. So when it comes down to if teams are tied with points, they wont have an effect on the tie breaker, thats determined by which team beat the other.
10.30: Accumulating 8 PPs during Qualifiers will get your team removed from the nGP and banned for a subsequent season.

10.100: Cheating of Any Kind = PPs determined based on the severity of the offense, but anywhere from 2 to 8 PPs (8 PPs resulting in instant removal From the nGP)
10.110: Players Represent a team and if they are singly caught cheating, that player's matches will all be forfeited and the team may be penalized depending on the situation.
10.120: Playing Outside the Week = .5 PP (per game) (Address rule 3.9 for scheduling conflict)
10.130: At any time, the Admin team can give out PPs if felt needed for a situation. The Admins will always discuss decision making before going through and doing it to ensure fairness.

Usually the rules will not go into effect until the next week but the admins have the right to apply a rule at any given time.

11.20: Administrators have not only the power, but the obligation to issue an appropriate punishment to a team who violates any of the rules.

11.50: The Head Administrator (nGP|EcstatiC) has the power to overrule the decisions and orders of all other administrators. Futhermore, he has the power to make any decision he feels appropriate for the situation, no matter how grossly it contravenes any rules.
12.00 - Golden Rules - To Be Obeyed Above All Else (excepting section 11)
12.10: The goal of the nGP is to provide a fair and fun (and safe) competitive gaming environment to all participating teams. As such, the rules have been written with this in mind, but there will situations in which the wording of the rules prevents a completely fair experience for all teams. In such a circumstance the rule may and will most likely be voided temporarily by an admin.
12.20: Teams must follow the spirit of the rules above all else
12.30: If a team is caught intentionally trying to exploit the precise (and possibly misleading) wording of the rules to gain an advantage, Penalty Points will be issued along with the possibility of ejection from the league and a ban from future seasons.
12.40: Do not cause problems or issues when there is no such reason. If you feel you have truly suffered an injustice, talk directly to the Head Administrator, or any other administrator should he not be available.
12.41: Use discretion when bringing an issue to the attention of an administrator. (ie posting a complaint on the main page of the website)
12.50. Have fun

10.11: 1 PP will equal 1 Point removed from your earned points during the season.
10.20: Depending on what rule you break will determine how many PPs your team will receive. Some rules though depend on how many the Admins think you deserve and there is no set standard to how many you will actually receive. So when it comes down to if teams are tied with points, they wont have an effect on the tie breaker, thats determined by which team beat the other.

10.110: Players Represent a team and if they are singly caught cheating, that player's matches will all be forfeited and the team may be penalized depending on the situation.
10.120: Playing Outside the Week = .5 PP (per game) (Address rule 3.9 for scheduling conflict)

12.10: The goal of the nGP is to provide a fair and fun (and safe) competitive gaming environment to all participating teams. As such, the rules have been written with this in mind, but there will situations in which the wording of the rules prevents a completely fair experience for all teams. In such a circumstance the rule may and will most likely be voided temporarily by an admin.
12.20: Teams must follow the spirit of the rules above all else
12.30: If a team is caught intentionally trying to exploit the precise (and possibly misleading) wording of the rules to gain an advantage, Penalty Points will be issued along with the possibility of ejection from the league and a ban from future seasons.

12.50. Have fun
