Complete and updated regulations governing the Pump It Up competition in Liga Potosina. Essential information for all participants.
📋 General Regulations
Liga Potosina - Season 7
Liga Potosina is a weekly Pump It Up competition. Each match consists of 16 songs (8 singles and 8 doubles).
🏆 Scoring System
The scoring system follows the Mexican football model:
ℹ️ The following rules apply to all participants in any league: SSS, S, A, B, C and D
🎯 1. Hard Judge (HJ) Usage
Mandatory: Playing with HJ activated is mandatory in all leagues.
Exception: Online matches (OM), where the game automatically deactivates it.
⚠️ Penalty: If a player doesn't use HJ, points from that song(s) will be deducted and assigned to their rival if they used it correctly.
📹 2. Live Streaming and Game Evidence
Mandatory: Each player must stream their match live.
- If playing with the rival, the complete match will be streamed
- If playing separately, each player must stream individually
- The player must be visible at all times during the stream
📸 Photo evidence: If live streaming is not possible, notify the administrator and rival in advance. Photo evidence may be allowed only once per season with authorization.
🚫 Important: Re-streaming the same song list is not allowed. In case of two streams, only the first one will be considered.
🤝 3. Player Coordination
Shared responsibility: Both players are responsible for agreeing on the day and time of their match within the weekly period (Monday to Sunday).
🎲 No coordination: If coordination fails, both must play the assigned weekly random.
⏰ 4. Punctuality
Tolerance: A maximum tolerance of 20 minutes after the agreed time is granted.
⏱️ Progressive penalty: For every additional 10 minutes of delay, the player will lose the equivalent of one song (1 point).
🚫 1 hour delay: With a complete hour of delay, the player automatically loses the match and their rival must play the random as training.
📞 5. Absence Justification
Advance notice: If a player notifies in advance that they cannot play, it will be taken as an automatic defeat.
Rival: Their rival must play the weekly random to maintain validity in their participation.
⚠️ Penalty: If the player who canceled then plays, their results will be nullified for breaking the agreement and affecting their opponent's motivation or preparation.
🕐 6. Results Submission Deadline
5:00 PM
(Mexico Time - Sunday)
All matches must be completed and reported before this time
🚫 5:01 PM or later: Any stream that starts at 5:01 PM or later will be considered invalid.
🌐 7. Online Matches (OM)
Asymmetric visibility: If when pairing one player can see the rival and the other cannot:
- The one who can see must play the song and take a photo
- The other player must play the same song based on that evidence
- If they don't, it's considered a defeat at that point
🔄 Repeated song: If a song appears repeated by the system, it must be played anyway.
👥 8. Pair Play and Rest Conditions
Same venue, alternating turns: In cases where both players must play the random at the same venue but not simultaneously (one rests between songs and the other plays continuously).
📋 Requirement: Must inform the rival and administrator beforehand, explaining the reasons.
🛠️ 9. Judgement Tool (JT) Usage
✅ Allowed: JT usage is permitted, as it was assigned even in official events like B1g One. Everyone is free to use it.
⚖️ 10. General Table Tiebreakers
In case of a points tie at the end of the regular season, the tiebreaker criteria will be:
- First criteria: Songs won in favor
- Second criteria: Songs lost (as second criteria if desired to add in the future)
🎮 11. Game Version
✅ Mandatory: All players must use the official and updated version of Pump It Up (Phoenix).
🚫 Prohibited: Modified versions (stepmods like XX, Sanity, Resident, etc.) are strictly prohibited.
📋 12. Song Order and Level
📝 Established order: Songs must be played in the order established by the weekly list. This order cannot be altered.
🎯 Defined levels: Song levels (S and D) are defined according to the league category. These must be respected without exception.
