Is it against BuzzerBeater rules to play in a country that you have no relations with? I really think that it should be a rule. I asked some GMs about this but didn't get an answer so I decided to post it on the forums.

I know what you mean. I was wondering the same thing and it would be nice if this would be answered.

Thanks

Yes it is against the rules if you have no relations with the one you want,but if you have relations you can participate in another country.Im not a GM but this is something that many people have asked,and i know the answer ;)

i don't understand the question. Who is "you"? is it diplomatic relations? to play "in" a country -- to scrimmage on their home court? why would this not be an individual manager's choice? why a need for a rule for this sort of decision? i don't understand this question.

He meant to ask, if it's allowed to register a team in other country than a country of residence or you motherland.

For instance, if it's allowed for Spaniard living in Iceland to get a team in Senegal.

I know what you mean. I understand BB's policy. For example, if a country had very few teams than new teams from that country would rather play elsewhere and the leagues would never grow. On the other hand, you're allowed to register in a different country, you just have to give a quick explanation about it. If you're an Irish guy living in Japan I don't see why you can't play in Ireland

Yeah, it's perfectly normal to want to play in a country you belong to, but I'm asking if it's against the rules to play in a country that you have no relations with. It doesn't say anything about it in the rules.

Yes it is against the rules. We would not accept a player that signs up to play in a country they do not live in...barring a few exceptions.

Since the thread is already here - in the rules it's not explicitly mentioned if it's allowed to give away (or sell for that matter) a team to another person. BuzzerBeater Terms of Service indirectly suggest that it's prohibited, but one might say that it's a matter on interpretation.

If it's actually allowed, then under what conditions can it be done? It's not that I'm planning to do that myself - there are other players bragging in forums over an overtaken team.

Actually it is clearly stated in the Terms of Service 7.6
6. Auctions and Sales. It is against Digital Field Theory policy to allow accounts, characters, items, or money to be sold – for real money, or on other auction sites, or otherwise. We will ask auction sites to respect this policy. We do not allow trades concerning any other game's accounts, characters, items, or money to be performed, advertised, or solicited, unless these transfers occur exclusively on the Transfer List that is a part of the Site. We will terminate accounts that we believe are in violation of this policy.
