86 Leagues – Rulebook
Some Rules are similar, copied or based on the RLCS as well as Royalty Series rules since we want to have a esport feeling( but the rules are not the same + We overworked, edit or create own rules)
Everyone must abide by 86 League rules which go as follows:
These Rules govern all 86 Academy Leagues and Tournaments (“86 L&T”) and are designed to ensure fair play, competitive integrity, and a positive esports environment. By registering or participating, all Players, Teams, Owners, Managers, Coaches, and guardians (for Minors) agree to comply with these Rules, as well as applicable Epic Games and Rocket League (RLCS‑based) rules.
Minors: Players under 18 (or local age of majority) require parental/guardian consent. Guardians accept responsibility for the Minor’s compliance.
Rule Changes: 86 L&T may update these Rules at any time via Discord or official channels. Continued participation constitutes acceptance of updates.

Seasons 35–30 (last 6 seasons total): Rank peaks outside of the last 3 seasons may exceed the Circuit MMR range by no more than one (1) rank.
These limits are used to evaluate player eligibility based on recent and past performance in ranked.
