Any authorized Admin may box a member. If you have the information (screen shots, testimonies) sufficient to support your decision to box, you do not need the review or approval of the entire Admin Team. However, if you are not sure of your decision, contact the HA or another Admin for advice.

When boxing a member please follow these steps:

• 1. Gather all available information including screen shots, testimonies from other players, testimony from the TD in charge, etc. Don't take one member's word over another's word. This places Admin in the middle..

• 2. If the information supports the boxing of a member, use our Misconduct Guidelines in League Rules to determine the appropriate time in the box.

• 3. In ADMIN MENU, choose EDIT USER and enter the Username, then the Days in the Box and the Reason. Do not make the reason personal. Copy Misconduct text directly from the rules page. Make sure you have no typos and that you put your Admin Username behind your reason.

• 4. In ADMIN MENU, choose USER RECORDS and enter the Username, then the option Penalty and the Details of the Boxing. This is a MyLeaguePlus feature that allows us to track multiple offenses for members including Warnings, Complaints, Penalties (boxings), Unreported Matches and Other items worth noting. You cannot reverse or delete what you type here after hitting enter, so proceed with caution.

• 5. Email the member being boxed and notify them of the boxing. You most likely have talked to them already so there isn't a need for a lot of detail here. Just the facts. BCC the Admin Team so everyone is aware of the boxing and no one is blindsided.

• 6. No Admin should unbox a member early without discussing it with the Admin who originally boxed the member. Certain members will try to pit one Admin against another and we should show a united front even if we may not always agree on everything. If you want to unbox someone early for good behavior who you yourself boxed that is your decision.

• 7. UNBOXING - To unbox a member, choose EDIT USER in ADMIN MENU. Put 0 (zero) in the Days in the Box and the Reason (they apologized, good behavior, etc) followed by your Admin Username.

• 8. ADDING TIME - To add time to someone in the box, you must put in a number that replaces the one already there. It does not add to the days. For example, if you box someone for 3 days and 1 day has past and you have reason to box them for 3 more days for a total of 6, the new number you would put into Days in the Box would be 5 (3-1+3). You must take into account time already served. Contact the HA if you need help with this.
