New Name rules

Global kid · 03-03-2007, 04:26 AM

MLG has instituted new rules concerning team and player names, effective immediately. These rules apply to both the 2007 Pro Circuit and all Online Tournament activities. Please read through and familiarize yourself with the rules below, as there will be no exceptions to them.

Team Names
1. No web addresses
2. No use of the word "Team"
3. No use of the words "Gamer" or "Gaming"
4. No Derogatory or Suggestive Words/Meanings
5. No corporations, company, sponsor, or product names

Player Names
1. No web addresses
2. No team name abbreviations
3. No Derogatory or Suggestive Words/Meanings
4. No corporations, company, sponsor, or product names

Important Notes
-Players are still encouraged to reach out to potential sponsors. Although these sponsors can't be represented through the team's name, players may wear sponsor t-shirts and/or other apparel except when appearing on the main stage, in the MLG Pro Players Lounge, or for media appearances/interviews.

-If/when MLG provides player uniforms, sponsors may have a patch on the uniform sleeve. Please note that players may be required to wear official MLG apparel if/when appearing for MLG content and programming (e.g., MLG TV show) or within MLG's stage sets (e.g., main stage).

-Teams from the same Clan can use the Clan abbreviation in their team name. However, these teams must be differentiated by more than a single letter or number.

wow.. MLG is getting ridiculous.. first they hog H2 from WSVG and others, then this... I'm sure soon they'll have everyone dye their hair blonde, wear blue contacts, and wear red MLG armbands on their MLG uniforms.

1 word: Retarded.

.aMp. · 03-03-2007, 07:28 AM

Ridiculous.

You know how many "Gaming" and team names with there sponsors name in it there are out there... sponsors will be less likely to sponsor them now.

thats probably not far from the truth. those rules are retarded, i dont see any huge conflict in the names to the extreme as to they would have to be changed.

Those are some realllllly odd changes....hmmmm, I can't see why they would do that.

I HAJDUK I · 03-03-2007, 08:03 AM

they are changing everything

SNÖT · 03-03-2007, 08:29 AM

MLG makes the most random pointless rules

DeXtA · 03-03-2007, 08:36 AM

And so finally MLG goes mad. They are becoming less about gaming and more about money and the corperation. This sucks, all names in games are going to become gay and no fun. Next they will ban the use of celebrations after games.

NEW RULES:

ALL CELEBRATIONS WILL HAVE TO TAKE PLACE IN A SPECIAL ROOM. NO SHOUTING, RAISING OF ARMS OR TALKING IN A FUN FASHION......

EDIT: 3. No Derogatory or Suggestive Words/Meanings

Oh dear PeterSlapsHos is gonna be angry
