    2. Season Structure:

    League Structure - Club

    A. Teams

    Schools are allowed to field unlimited Club teams.

    B. Divisions

    There are no divisions in Club. All teams compete in the same pool.

    C. Season

    Club league seasons will have a one-week preseason followed by a five-week regular season. It will end with an online Club Finals Tournament. The dates and times for Club finals will be announced each season on the Fenworks platform, league Discord, calendar, and other channels.

    D.  Format

    Club leagues use the following formats:

    a.  Swiss (queue)

    E. Club Finals Qualification

    The top teams from the club league make it to the online Club Finals. The number of teams qualifying for the finals is found in Section 3, but may be adjusted after registration closes. Club leagues do not include a LAN finals; finals are all online.

    Teams will advance to the Club Finals based on the tiebreakers in section 3.3 of General Rules. The second tiebreaker, average game differential, will be calculated with one additional point awarded for each match played during the regular season.

    For example:

    • Team A: 1-4 record = +5 (net -3 with additional 8 points for matches played)

    • Team B: 2-0 record = +4 (net +2 with additional 2 points for matches played)

    Club tournament winners will receive a special role in the League Discord server with Gif posting permissions.

    2.1 Regular Season League formats

    • Queue System Swiss

    What is a Swiss: This is a format where teams always play against another team with the same record (e.g. a 2-0 team will play against another 2-0 team).  Our queue system leagues also follow the Swiss format. Learn more about our queue system here

    2.2 Preseason
    Preseason matches will function like a regular season match, in that players will still need to check-in and connect with their opponent on the league platform and report their scores. Results of preseason matches do NOT count towards your regular season record and do not affect qualification for the club finals. Due to the nature of queue system leagues, teams that miss their preseason matches for our club seasons will not be dropped.

    3. Club Finals Tournament
    Below you will find information on how Fenworks runs the Club Finals Tournament. All information below is subject to change, pending time, and the number of teams competing in each game title. Any changes will be confirmed once registration closes, and if no changes are communicated then the current process will stand.

    The Club Finals will be executed as a single elimination tournament in the last week of the season. It will be fully online and administered through our league platform. There will be an all-team meeting 15 minutes before the start of the tournament for all competing teams. This meeting will occur either in Microsoft Teams or Discord, depending on the league. Information on this meeting will be communicated with teams several weeks before it occurs. After the meeting, the tournament will commence. Most Club Finals tournaments are expected to last up to four hours.

    3.3 Tiebreakers
    Teams/Players making the finals will be based on seeding, which considers standings score first, then average game/round differential, then head to head (if applicable), and difficulty of schedule.

    Standings Score will be calculated with the following values:

    • Win by Play: 4 points

    • Forfeit Win: 4 points (not counted in game differential)

    • Bye Win: 4 points (not counted in game differential)

    • Tie: 2 points

    • Loss by Play: 1 points

    • Loss by Forfeit: 0 points


    4.  Checking In and Reporting Scores

    A team captain or GM should check in all participating players for that match on the Fenworks Platform match page before starting their match. If a team decides to play with a reduced player count, the platform still requires you to check in a full roster. In this scenario, a team should declare in the match chat which players are missing before checking them in.

    If both teams fail to check in to their match on the league platform at the default time, both will receive a forfeit loss for the match. If one team is checked in and the other is not after the check-in time has expired, the team present is expected to wait 15 minutes after the start time of their match for their opponent. Once 15 minutes have expired, the absent team will receive a forfeit loss automatically on the platform.

    Scores will be reported using the platform score reporting tool

    • Both teams are responsible for reporting scores and saving replays/screenshots that prove their claim

    • All reported matches must have a screenshot attached

    • Procedures on how to report scores can be found in each title’s separate rules section

    All scores must be reported directly following the match, or it will be considered a loss for both teams. Fenworks staff have the right to adjust the score if evidence is presented that the match was played.

    5. Rescheduling Matches

    Matches are NOT able to be rescheduled due to the nature of a queue system league. The queue will occur during the same day and time each week, and teams will be matched with others that join the queue. Thus, reschedules are not able to take place during club seasons for any reason.

    6.  Home/Away

    The team shown on the left on the league platform match page is the home team, and the team shown on the right is the away team for that match. This is not in effect for playoffs, where teams gain home advantage based on seeding. Refer to the game title for specific rulesets on how home and away affect pick/ban processes.

    7.   Player Eligibility

    A player is any participant who plays in an official match. All players:

    • Must be enrolled in the school they are representing

      • Homeschooled players may participate with a school if they live within the defined district lines for the school district in question and have received approval from the school district to participate.

    • Must be 13 years or older, in 7th – 12th grade, and be 21 years old or younger.

      • A player may play for only one high school in the same school district.

      • Players who are 12 years of age or younger are not eligible to compete in all club titles. However, if a player turns 13 in the middle of the season, they are eligible to compete on and after the day of their 13th birthday.

    • The following are the only titles a player under the age of 13 is eligible to compete in for club seasons:

                                                                  i.      Chess

                                                                 ii.      Super Smash Brothers Ultimate

                                                               iii.      Minecraft

                                                               iv.      Mario Kart 8

    • Can only be on one roster per game title

      • A player can only be rostered to one team and play in one weekly match per title. If a player plays in more than one match of the same title, those games will be forfeited. Players can, however, play in multiple titles in a season.

        • For example, Student A cannot compete or be rostered on two Rocket League teams but can compete on one Rocket League team and one Minecraft team.

      • There is no restriction on the number of teams or players that can compete from each school.

    *Eligibility is subject to change at the League’s discretion but must be communicated to all schools before any changes take effect.

    7.1.Roster Changes and Substitutions

    Any changes to rosters must be done at least 24 hours before the roster’s next scheduled match. Players cannot be added to a roster if their next match is within the 24-hour time period. In this case, coaches must wait until after the roster’s next scheduled match to add another player to the roster.

    Substitutions are allowed if all players involved have been on the roster for 24 hours before the match. Substitutions can be made between games in a series but not during a game currently in play. Teams should never substitute during an individual game (I.e., passing their controller off).

    Substitute players are not allowed for individual game titles (1v1s). If one of those students cannot play their match in a week, should not join the queue. Their record will not change unless they join the queue.

    8. Spectators

    Only the players from the two teams competing in the official match are allowed in the game lobby. The one exception is if a spectator is joining to stream their team's point of view (POV) for their official school stream and the opposition is made aware. The spectator must have an open mic for the entirety of the stream to prove they are not in contact with either team.

    Players competing in the match may stream their own POV. Stream malfunctions do not qualify as a reason for pausing a match.

    • Valorant: When streaming Valorant, the spectator MUST choose the coach position in the lobby for their team only. The spectator in this situation must not have communication with their team or they will forfeit the match. 

    • League of Legends: Spectator Delay is set to “Add Delay”

    Any team caught breaking these rules are subject to penalties listed in section 12.

    2. Default Match Time & Match Format

    • Thursday at 6:00PM CT

    • All matches will be played as a best of 3 series.


    3. Players
    All official matches will be 4 vs 4 (a four-player team vs. another four-player team). Each player on each team will control their own cars, which amounts to eight cars in each race. A match should start with all the players for each team present. If a team does not have their full roster, they can play the match if at least two players (the minimum) compete. If a team does not have the minimum number of players, they will forfeit the game and potentially the match.

    If the team with a full roster would like to play shorthand to match the number of players on the opposing team, they can but are not required to. It is up to their sole discretion to do so. (For example, if the opposing team has only two players on their team, your team can choose to have only two players participate instead of the full roster.)

    4. Lobby Setup and Process
    If the incorrect ruleset is used, the match must be restarted immediately. If previous games were under the wrong ruleset, they are void and must be replayed. It is up to both teams to review the settings and make sure they are correct.

    4.1 Lobby Settings: Official matches must use the following settings

    • 150cc race

    • Teams On

    • Normal Items

    • No COM (No computer bots. There should only be a max of eight racers in each match)

    • All Vehicles

    • 4 Races

    • Auto/Smart Steering and Auto Forward are allowed to be on


    4.2 Track Selection

    • All base game tracks are playable for official matches. No DLC tracks will be allowed. Players should not select random as their track choice, as it may randomize into a DLC track if the player owns any DLC

    • Each player will choose a track, and the game will randomly select one of the tracks for that race. Once a track has been raced on, it cannot be re-selected or used later in any of the following games for the duration of the match. This means if one team selected Rainbow Road and it was chosen as the first track to race on in game 1, Rainbow Road cannot be selected again for the rest of the match.


    5. Restrictions

    • Miis and Amiibos are allowed in competitive play.

    • All vehicle configurations are allowed.

    • Any new karts or characters released once the season starts can be used.

    • Admin can modify the allowed vehicles/tracks with written notice to the league.

    • All in-game shortcuts are legal as long as they aren’t ultra shortcuts, wall clips, glitches, etc. (shortcuts that ruin a map or race). If you believe someone is not following the rule, a screenshot or video is required.


    6. Tiebreaker
    If a tie occurs based on points for a game, then a singular tiebreaker race will occur. The team with the most points from that game (all five races) is the winner. Each player will choose a track for the tiebreaker round, and the game will randomly select one of the tracks for the final race. Tracks already selected earlier in the match cannot be chosen for a tiebreaker.

    7. Stoppage of Play and Player Disconnects
    Stoppage of play may be called if a player disconnects during a race. The stoppage must be communicated to the other team via the League Platform chat, voice channels, or Discord. The current race will be paused for up to five minutes while that player attempts to reconnect. After the disconnected player rejoins, then the match will continue. If the disconnected player cannot or hasn’t rejoined after five minutes, the race will continue, and that player can rejoin when able. If they still have not connected by the end of the race, the next race shall be played without the disconnected player.

    If the host of the lobby is disconnected and the lobby is closed, then the opposing team should receive points for 1st-4th place and the hosting team will receive points for 5th-8th place for the race in which the disconnect occurred. The remainder of the match should be continued starting from the next race. If this situation should occur, players will need to manually add the game scores for the match to determine the winner. 

    During a game, if players on the same team intentionally disconnect and bring the number of players under the minimum number, that team will forfeit the remainder of the game to the opposing team unless a stoppage of play has been communicated.

    8. Outside Communication
    Teams/players may communicate with a coach before and after each game in the match and during the character, kart, and track selection. All coaches and other spectators may not speak with that team/player while a game is actively being played. 

    9. Tactical Pauses
    Teams are allowed one tactical pause per match. It must occur between the games of the match. It cannot happen during gameplay. This pause may last up to 3 minutes per team. Pauses must be declared to the opposing team when they begin and when they end.

    10. Scoring and Reporting Scores
    For each game, scores are determined by the in-game point system based on the place of each individual racer. There are no outside additional points.

    In-game scores per race

    • 1st place:10 points

    • 2nd place: 8 points

    • 3rd place: 6 points

    • 4th place: 5 points

    If the team with a full roster would like to play shorthanded to match the number of players on the opposing team, they can but are not required to. It is up to their sole discretion to do so.

    If there is a disconnect between maps in a series, one team can request a pause for up to five minutes while they wait for the disconnected player to return.

    8. Anti-Cheat
    If a player is found to use any type of cheating program, software, bug exploit, or anything deemed to give them an unfair advantage they will be subject to forfeit all matches played up to that point in the season and will be banned from participating in any future MNVL matches or tournaments.

    9. Minecraft Game Day Procedures
    Before loading into a map, communicate with the opposing team using the Minecraft server chat or Fenworks Platform chat and execute the map selection process from section “5. Map Selection”

    • Once you have decided on the map, both captains must queue for that particular map using the 2v2 NPCs in the Bedwars lobby sections (Lobby 1 and Lobby 2) of the Minecraft server.

      • Click Map selector and choose the selected map to queue into it

      • If all instances of a map are being used, please wait until one is available. You should not play on a different map unless both teams agree.

    • Once loaded in, use the team selector tool in the pregame lobby to choose either blue or red team. Default colors are blue for the home team, and red for the away team. Side selection does not give an advantage and thus if wrong colors are selected the match will still be valid and should be played as normal. 

    • Once all players are loaded onto the map, a countdown will start. Once it reaches zero, the match will start, and game one will begin, and players will spawn at their base

    • Make sure to save a screenshot once the game is complete, as you will need it when reporting your results.


    10. Sudden Death and Tiebreaker
    Sudden Death occurs 20 minutes after the start of each game. In sudden death, both teams’ beds are destroyed, and players fight until one team is eliminated. Five minutes after Sudden Death starts, the match will end if both teams are still alive. In this case, the team with the most players alive wins.

    If sudden death ends and both teams have the same number of players alive, and those two players will battle in a 1v1 match. This will occur in the Gym Arena of the Minecraft Server as a best-of-1 to determine the victor. No items or armor are allowed in the match; both players should have nothing but a short sword. If a player uses an illegal item in the arena will cause an automatic loss. Leaving the arena area during this 1v1 will result in a loss for that player’s team.

    11. Anti Griefing Clause
    The intentional use of exploits, bugs, or using features on the MNVL server in a way that they are not intended is considered griefing. Instances of griefing will be subject to league penalties as outlined in General Rules section 11. The severity of the penalty will be based on the following factors:

    • Effect on gameplay

    • Subject matter

    • ·Previous offenses

    • Motive

    4.3. Server Regions:
    The following server regions are available for use in official matches:

    • US-East (Default)

    If the server has issues, both teams can agree to play on another server, such as US-Central. In that case, the server region that gives the lowest ping for players should be chosen. If there is a disparity in ping among players the home team will select the region for game 1 in the match, and then the server region will alternate each game.

    5. Restrictions

    5.1 Garage Customizations
    Any toppers, antennae, goal explosions, bodies, decals, wheels, rocket boosts, trails, or engine audios that are currently disabled in competitive 3v3 queues are not permitted for use in official matches. All others are permitted.

    5.2. Leaving and Rejoining:
    Leaving and rejoining with the intention to change your placement in the arena is considered cheating and is not allowed.

    6. Stoppage of Play and Player Disconnects
    The game will be restarted if a player disconnects from the game less than 30 seconds into the match or before the first goal is scored. If either of these events has occurred, the game will continue.

    7. Outside Communication
    Teams/players may communicate with a coach before and after each game in the match. All coaches and other spectators may not speak with that team/player while a game is actively being played. 

    8. Tactical Pauses
    Teams are allowed one tactical pause per match. It must occur between the games of the match. It cannot happen during gameplay. This pause may last up to 3 minutes per team. Pauses must be declared to the opposing team when they begin and when they end.

    9. Reporting Scores
    Scores for Rocket League should be reported as total goals scored for each game in the match.

    • Example:

      • Game 1: 4-2

      • Game 2: 1-2

      • Game 3: 3-1

      • Game 4: 3-1

  • Note: Players are strongly encouraged to play all matches with an ethernet adapter or from the same room as their internet router if wifi is being used to ensure the best quality of matches.

    What is a crew battle?

    Players from the opposing teams take turns fighting in 1v1 matches, with the winner of a match carrying their remaining stock(s) to face the next member of the opposing team. Stocks lost by the winning player in a previous match are subtracted from the player's stocks by self-destructing (SD) at the beginning of the next match. For example, there are two teams, A and B, and they are playing with three stocks for each player. If Player A defeats the other team's Player B with two stocks remaining, they would need to SD until only two stocks remain for the next match against the second member of Team B, Player B2, who starts with a full three stocks. This process continues until one crew runs completely out of stocks, in which case the other crew is declared the winner.

    1. Supported Platforms

    • Nintendo Switch


    2. Default Match Time and Match Format

    • Monday at 5:00PM CT

    • Matches are played as a best of 1 in the regular season, playoffs, and finals.

    3. Players
    All official matches will be 3 vs. 3 (a three-player team vs. another three-player team). A match should start with all the players for each team present. If a team does not have their full roster, they can play the match if at least 2 players (the minimum) compete. If a team does not have the minimum number of players, they will forfeit the game and potentially the match.

    If the team with a full roster would like to play shorthand to match the number of players on the opposing team, they can but are not required to. It is up to their sole discretion to do so. (For example, if the opposing team has two players on their team, your team can choose to have only two players participate instead of the full roster.)

    4. Lobby Setup and Process
    The higher seed will create the lobby (“Online” > “Smash” > “Battle Arenas” > “Create Arena”) and provide lobby ID and Password. Official matches must use the following settings:

    • Type: Host preference

    • Visibility: Friends

    • Format: 1-on-1

    • Rules:

      • Style: Stock

      • Stock: 3

      • Time Limit: 7 minutes

      • FS Meter: Off

      • Damage Handicap: Off

      • Items: Off and None

      • Stage Hazards: Off

      • Launch Rate: 1.0x

      • Pausing: Off

      • Score Display: Off

      • Show Damage: Yes

    • Rotation: Host preference

    • Max Players: 2

    • Stage: Choice

    • Spirits: Off

    • Voice Chat: Off

    If the incorrect ruleset is used, the match must be restarted. If previous games were under the wrong ruleset, they are void and must be replayed.

    4.1 Stage Selection
    The stage selection process is as follows and is done throughout the match:

    • Teams select which Player will play first. 

    • Players select their characters (blind). Teams will select the first stage by striking from the set of starter stages in Section 4 in the following order: home team strikes a stage, away team strikes two stages, home team strikes a stage. The remaining stage is used for the first match. Stage strikes only affect the first match and are removed in consecutive matches (i.e. stages striked for game 1 can be played in the other matches in the series).

    • The Players play the first game of the set.

    • Winning Player of the preceding game strikes three stages from the list of starter or counterpick stages from sections 4/5. The oncoming Player of the losing team picks a remaining stage for the next game.

    • The winning Player of the preceding game must stay as the character they played in the previous game.

    • The Winning player forfeits their stocks lost in the previous game. For example, if you had one remaining stock in Game 1, you forfeit two stocks in Game 2 so you only have one stock remaining.

    • Repeat Steps 2 through 7 for all subsequent games until the set is completed.


    4.2 Starter Stages
    The following starter stages are permitted for use in MNVL matches:

    • Battlefield

    • Small Battlefield

    • Pokémon Stadium 2

    The following counterpick stages are permitted for use in official matches:

    • Final Destination

    • Kalos Pokemon League

    • Yoshi’s Story


    5. Restrictions

    5.1 DLC Fighters
    DLC Fighters are prohibited from being used in official matches for the first two weeks of their release. After the two-week restriction has passed, a DLC Fighter will be used in official matches.

    5.2 MII Fighters
    Players must use a Guest Mii. If a player chooses to use a Mii Fighter, they must declare to their opponent the type and move set listed in the format “Type XXXX” (e.g., “Gunner 1321”). Any combination of moves may be used, but any Mii Fighters that a player may want to use during a match must be created before the match begins (up to a limit of three Mii Fighters), or else they will be prohibited from doing so. Using Mii Fighters that do not follow these rules may result in a player forfeiting the game in which the illegal Mii Fighter was used.

    5.3 Amiibo
    All amiibo figures are prohibited from being used in official matches.

    5.4 Stages
    Only the stages listed in sections 4.3 and 4.4 are allowed. All other stages are prohibited from being chosen in official matches. Using the Omega or Battlefield version of any legal stages is also prohibited.

    6. Self-Destruct Finishes and Sudden Death

    6.1 Self-Destruct Finishes
    In the event where the game ends due to a self-destruct move, the results screen will determine the winner of the game.

    6.2 Sudden Death
    If time expires and a sudden death is started, the player with the highest number of stocks is the winner of the match. If both players had the same amount of stocks, the player with the lower percentage wins. If both players had the same amount of stocks and the same percentage, players should execute the below scenario:

    In the event where both players knock-out at the same time and initiate a sudden death, players will play a tiebreaker game on the same stage with the same characters using the official match format with the following modifications:

    • Stock: 1

    • Stock & Time: 3 minutes

    7. Stoppage of Play and Player Disconnects
    Stoppage of play is not permitted during a game.  

    Players unplugging their controller at any time, accidentally or intentionally, will result in a forfeiture of the game and potentially the match. If a player's controller malfunctions during a game, it is the player's responsibility and will not force a game/match to restart.  

    During a game, if players on the same team intentionally disconnect and bring the number of players under the minimum number, that team will forfeit the remainder of the game to the opposing team unless a stoppage of play has been communicated. 

    8. Outside Communication
    Teams may have communication with a coach only during the ban process before the match and in between matches, not during gameplay.

    9. Tactical Pauses
    Teams are allowed one tactical pause between matches, but not during a match. This pause may last up to 3 minutes per team. Pauses must be declared to the opposing team both when they begin and when the pause expires.

    10. Scoring and Reporting Scores
    Scores for Super Smash Bros should be reported as the total remaining stock score (stocks remaining for each team).

    • Example:

    3. Players
    All official matches will be 5 vs. 5 (a five-player team vs. another five-player team). A match should start with all the players for each team present. If a team does not have their full roster, they can play the match if at least 3 players (the minimum) compete. If a team does not have the minimum number of players, they will forfeit the game and potentially the match.

    If the team with a full roster would like to play shorthand to match the number of players on the opposing team, they can but are not required to. It is up to their sole discretion to do so. (For example, if the opposing team has three players on their team, your team can choose to have only two players participate instead of the full roster.)

    4. Lobby Setup and Process
    If the incorrect ruleset is used, the match must be restarted immediately. If previous games were under the wrong ruleset, they are void and must be replayed. It is up to both teams to review the settings and make sure they are correct.

    6. Stoppage of Play and Player Disconnects
    To pause the match, push esc and navigate to the “cheats” menu

    The game may only be paused for the following reasons:

    • Player Drop

    • Player Disconnect

    • Server Crash

      Technical Issues

    • Fenworks/MNVL Admin Requests

    Stoppage of play may be requested anytime for the above reasons but cannot start if combat is happening or after the spike has been planted. The team initiating a pause must declare why they need one in chat. Each team will have 5 total minutes of pause time per map. Consent from both teams must be given before the match is un-paused.

    7. Outside communication
    Teams/players may communicate with a coach before and after each game in the match, during agent selection, the map ban process, and during the tactical pause (TO function). All coaches and other spectators may not speak with that team/player while a game is actively being played. 

    8. Tactical Pauses
    Teams are allowed to call one timeout “TO” per half of a game by using the in-game timeout feature during the buy phase but not during gameplay. Each TO is 1 minute. These 2 minutes do not count against any technical pauses a team may call during the game (refer to section 6, Stoppage of Play). Only coaches and in-game players may talk during this TO. Please contact a Fenworks Admin immediately if there is suspicion a team is abusing this feature.

    9. Reporting Scores
    Scores for VALORANT should be reported as the round scores for each game in the match.

    Example:

    • Game 1: 13 - 8
