EggMonkey Code of Conduct

    EggMonkey players must be friendly and positive. The EggMonkey mission is to deliver football fun to the community, and this is built on good vibes and friendly play.

    Please follow these rules of conduct:

    • Be honest and practice fair play.
    • Be respectful and nice to others.
    • Even if you want to win, it's better to accept losing the game and conceding goals respectfully and encourage your teammates when they make mistakes rather than blaming or criticising them.
    • Don't take yourself or the game too seriously, and if you have a difference of opinion with an opponent then it's better to accept that you could be wrong, and things might not always go your way.
    • It's football at the end of the day, and we're here to have fun not to hurt others.
    • Football is a game of respect, friendship, and good vibes, and prioritise the good vibes and light-hearted nature of the event above the desire to win and come out on top.
