Marine Memorial League is sponsored by the USAAC and adheres to all COC of the AA and the USAAC. The league operates a policy of one pilot, one squad. This means no “ringers”, no multi-squad pilots. C/Os it is you responsibility to ensure that all pilots in your squad are registered on the CLP. This will ensure that all pilots will see the arenas.
General:
Marine Memorial League Last Team Standing will be played on the standard team map with AA off. Squads will fly GE camp (home) and SU camp (visitor) with all planes available. Teams must not move from their spawned positions until the (Scramble) order is given.
There will be no altitude limit,
the map limit is one (1) square around the bases
Any pilot going out of the map limit will get a ref's warning,
if he continues out of bounds he will be called to crash,
if he does not crash the round will be given to the other team..
There is no reason to switch camps after the 1st half. A match will consist of 10 rounds with a 5 minute break between the 5th and 6th round. Referee will give the scramble command and both teams will take off and will be free to engage. All planes are to engage within two (2) minutes,
If the Referee can visibly see that a plane is not engaging, he will make an announcement to the appropriate team to engage.
If the pilot still will not visibly engage he will be counted as dead and must crash. Once you are shot down you can not take off, you must wait for the next round.
When round is over pilots must crash, NO LANDING. (No Exceptions) (Rookie room does not affect your score).
If a Referee can not be allocated for the arranged match, but there is a Ref on each of the 2 teams, then the match may go ahead with the refs on both teams recording and keeping check on the scores and time. Any disagreements will be dealt with via the LM/Head Ref. Please post results on the USAAC forums.

Scoring:
Scoring will be 1 (one) point per round awarded to the Last Team Standing for the round. All points won by each team will be added to the standings table, and at the end of the league, points will be tallied to determine 1st, 2nd, 3rd, ..etc In the event at the end of the league two teams are tied in points, a playoff will be played to determine the winner.
Match Start Time:
All matches will start at the scheduled time. Teams are encouraged to be present 15 minutes prior to the start time. No “grace period” or delay will be allowed 2 minutes past the start time. Either team may request a “grace” prior to the 2 minute mark. Matches will start no later than 7 minutes past the scheduled start time. In no case will more than one grace be allowed, regardless of which team calls for the grace. In the event a Ref arrives late, the match will start within 5 minutes of the Ref's arrival.
Team/Pilots:
Teams will be a 6 vs 6 format base. (Squads are encouraged to fly all players as long as teams are kept even). A given team may fly 2 to 6 pilots,
If a team chooses to fly 3 against 6 it will be allowed.
Or the team with less pilots can take a forfeit for all 10 rounds.
Teams must fly even numbers of pilots if flying more than 6.
(Example) 8 vs 8, 9 vs 9, etc. (However if a team drops a pilot during the round the other team does not have to drop a player). If a match started 8 vs 8 and the team only has 7 for the next round the opposing team must drop 1 player.
A team may not fly with less than 2 pilots for any round, grace periods will not be allowed at the scramble time for any round. No Exceptions. If a given team has less than 2 pilots present at the 1st round scramble time, the full match (all rounds) will be forfeited. No Exceptions.
If both teams have less than 2 pilots as 1st round, both teams will register a total round loss. Both teams will receive a “0” score, both teams forfeit and the match is over. Each round must have 2 pilots minimum. Any given team that does not have 2 pilots at scramble time for any given round will forfeit that round and any remaining rounds. . Players that can not fly due to their team has too many may sit on the US runway at the Ref's discretion. Players sitting on the US must not flood coms, and will be removed at the Ref's discretion if said problem occurs.
KIA:
Once a pilot takes off from the runway ( in the air) upon the scramble order, said pilot cannot take off again. (Exception) If a pilot crashed/collides on take off for any reason the pilot may take off again. If a pilot is shot down, crashes, collides, or is ordered by the ref they are dead and cannot continue for that round. Pilots must stay on the runway with engines off. The referee may make an exception if warranted, pilots need to ask if any doubt.
Dropped Pilots:
The dropped pilot rule only applies once the round starts (after scramble order). Prior to start there is no dropped pilot rule. The term dropped pilot is defined as: When a pilot during the game dropped out of the game for any reason. Once a round starts a dropped pilot is considered dead and may not take off and or re-enter the battle for a given round. There is no forfeit for a dropped pilot or does the opposing team need to drop a pilot.
Tags:
The MML-LTS is a fun league, to promote friendly banter all tags will be identifiable tags, with preference to include squad identification. Up to the first 6 spaces will be used for squad identification only. Example of allowed tags: USHA_Slayer, Tkfm_Vipor, BSS_Joker, etc.. Or Salami, Madman, Nemo, etc.
Behavior:
Squads will restrict themselves to friendly/internal coms and will heed the commands of the referee at ALL TIMES. Referee's will be instructed to penalize (forfeiture of the round or possibly the match) any squad that disrupts the other team by flooding the coms or refuses to obey the referee's commands. Pilots that cause disruptions will be asked to stop. If they continue they will be counted as dead and will not be allowed to play the remainder of the match, and will not be allowed to fly the next weeks match. (No Exceptions). The league is intended to be fun for all teams playing in it. Consequently teams must be seen to be playing the game fairly. It is the referee's discretion as to whether he/she feels that a squad have been deliberately unsporting and can award the game to the opposition. The referee must not be rammed, shot, stabbed, run over, mutilated, burned, covered in tar and feathers, beaten, battered, verbally or physically abused or ignored.
