Members: Charles, Aeden, Alex & Liam

Goal: Develop rules for a professional style Rocket League Game. This is to provide a clear set of rules to make for entertaining and fun competition

What I have Done: I have set the rules for a professional game. This defines how the game is played, what controllers are used and instructions in the case of certain events.

​

Rocket League Professional Rules

Mode:

3v3 Soccar With No modifiers or mutators. There will only be default settings.

Controllers:

The only permitted controllers are standard console controllers or a keyboard and mouse. No macro functions are permitted as they give users and unfair advantage.

Subbing and Rosters

A Team may start with 3 - 8 players but only 3 may play per game with the remaining team players on the bench. Teams may sub any player with anyone on the bench.

​

Tie Breakers

In the event of a tie the game is to restart with the same players at the end of the game (No subbing is allowed for tie breakers) and the first to score a goal is declared the winner.

​

Game Time

Games will last for 5 minutes. At the end of the 5 minutes if a goal is not scored the game will go into over time until a goal is scored and the game will promptly end.
