A new league player, on top of providing the required information on the forum, should hold up to these requirements in order to be officially vouched:
* If you have 1200+ elo ELO and positive KDR in the public ENT11/ENT38 DotA bots, then you will need support by 1 DIHL Veteran or support from 3 DIHL Players.
* Otherwise, must be supported by at-least 2 DIHL Veterans, or by 5 DIHL Players.
* Must have a Discord Account and willing to actively use it for potential DIHL games.
: '''Note:''' The vouch may be done informally first in order to allow a new player to participate right away, but must be formally documented in the forums.
If you do not meet the above requirements to be officially vouched, then you will be eligible for a '''trial period''' if you meet the following requirements:
* If you have 1200+ elo ELO and positive KDR in the public ENT11/ENT38 DotA bots, then no support is required, we will automatically approve your request for trial.
* Otherwise, your trial must be supported by at least 1 DIHL player.
'''Miscellaneous'''
It is highly recommended to check and see how long the current DIHL game has been running to help you decide if you have time to play an apem/arem game or to do something else while you wait. You can review the list on the ENT games site by checking the ‘Include games in progress’ box. If you join a different game or go afk for extended periods of time then you may lose your DIHL queue spot.
Since the game mode is Captain’s Draft (CD), we will ask for two volunteers to be captains. If you do not think someone is capable of being captain, then please voice your concern at this time and we will see if there is an alternative captain available or if we can live with the current choices. Note that the winning captain from the prior game has priority on being captain again (as ‘King of the Hill’), but can elect not to captain if so desired. If noone no one is willing to captain, the Game Owner or a DIHL Mod (if present) will need to assign captains. If this happens, the choices should be done so as to ensure a fair competitive game.
<h3> Player Draft </h3>
To make teams fair, DIHL employs a player draft. * As captain, you will type “!roll” to see who will get to pick a player first (higher roll picks first). * The number of players picked by each captain is in this sequence: 1-2-2-2-1 (winner of roll picks 1 player, then loser of roll picks 2 players, etc.). * If you dodge the game (leave the lobby) because you do not agree with the order of player picks, you are subject to a one-day temporary ban.
<h3> Captaining </h3>
* As Captain of your team, your responsibility is to ask your team for advice on what heroes should be banned/picked, and what heroes they would like to play. Ultimately though, it is the captain’s decision and all players need to respect the choices made by the captain. Only exception is if the Captain is intentionally ruining the game (picking the worst 5 heroes, picking 5 melee carries, etc.).* Arc Warden, Meepo, and Techies are currently auto-banned and do not need to be manually banned during the Hero Pick Phase.* The Captain should assign heroes to players, assign 1 player to buy wards, assign 1 player to buy chicken, and give lane assignments. It is the responsibility of the player to listen to these orders or else be subject to a temporary ban.
<h2> Rules </h2>* The Captain should assign heroes general [[EntGaming:Rules]] apply to playersthe DIHL, assign 1 player to buy wardsunless abrogated by the specific rules below. For the forum, assign 1 player the general [[EntGaming:ForumRules]] are to buy chickenbe followed. Violating any rule can result in disciplinary actions including verbal warnings and temporary or permanent bans from DIHL games and/or ENT games.* As a league, our standards and give lane assignmentsexpectations are higher than pub games. It is the responsibility of the player We expect players to listen to these orders or else be strong in both gaming and mind. Therefore, all players should respect their mates and the games they share.* Note that these rules are subject to at minimum a temporary banunvouch and at maximum a permanent unvouch depending on the number and extent of the offense. Note that your record of wrongdoings will be cleared at the beginning of each season, except for permanent unvouch(s).
# All players must be able to speak English in order to communicate and coordinate with the team.
# You are not allowed to use the !ignore command to someone on your team unless they are excessively breaking these rules. However, you are allowed to !ignore someone on the other team or a player that is observing the game.
## Wasting time to do something ‘funny’ (such as Pudge hooking a teammate on top of a cliff) is subject to ban if it interferes with the flow of the game.
## Giving up before the team has forfeited. If only 3 players have forfeited, but not the required 4, you '''must''' continue to play and try to win. Sabotaging your team’s chances of winning in order to more quickly lose the game may warrant punishment per DIHL Mod discretion.
# Pooling items is not allowed (such as buying mass clarities clarity potions en masse and giving it to a teammate for them to sell).
# Players are not allowed to leave the game prior to the team forfeiting (!ff), the game drawing (!draw), or the Throne being captured. Any player who leaves before then is considered to have rage quit the game. If it is unclear if the first offense is a rage quit or an accidental disconnect, it will be treated as a disconnect and receive a 1 game ban. Otherwise, the following punishments apply:
## First offense - 3 day unvouch
<h2> Statistics </h2>
* DIHL keeps statistics for each season (separate from other ENT DotA games) found [https://entgaming.net/openstats/dihl/ here]. * Winners of each season will be posted in the DIHL forums [https://entgaming.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=181 here]. * Stats will be reset at the end of each season, typically lasting 6 months.
