I posted the rules for the Ersatz VASLeague: http://randpatrouille.de/cgi-bin/asl-liga.cgi?link=rules.html
They are mostly the original ones, but I shorted them down a little bit. Please pay special attention to section 3: Results.

Rules
The Ersatz VASLeague 2020 is an individual ASL tourney, a substitute for the original VASLeague that took place until 2019.
The Tournament Director is Tobias (WuWei on the Gamesquad forum), serving as a steward until the rightful TD Enrico will return one day.
Official announcements will be made on the Gamesquad forum: Ersatz VASLeague 2020
It is played mainly via internet with the following rules:
1. General Rules
1.1 The Swiss System is used for pairings and classification.
1.12 There are 4 rounds beginning on 6st January 2020 .
In detail:
round 1 : 6 January - 15 March
round 2 : 16 March - 30 May
round 3 : 1 June - 15 August
round 4 : 16 August - 31 October
1.2 One point is awarded for a victory and a half point for a draw.
1.3 Tiebreaker: If two or more players finish the league with the same number of points, the following cases will be applied in order from a) to e) for determination of final ranking:
1.3 a) Result of the game played by the players with the same number of points (if they are just two and assuming they actually played a game one vs the other);
1.3 b) Best opponents met not counting the worst and the best (known as: Winged Buholz tiebreaker);
1.3 c) Number of the round of the first game lost (the later the better);
1.3 d) A random drawing will be made.
2. No PbeM
2.1 The matches will be played on the VASL server live or face-to-face by default.
2.12 a PBeM game is allowed only if both players agree. IMPORTANT NOTE: Please don't subscribe if you already know you cannot guarantee enough time to play even a small or medium sized ASL scenario live on VASL !
2.13 Delayed Notes
2.131 Players are suggested to extensively use the "delayed" notes VASL tool to record HIPs, Fortifications, Covered Arcs, Spotters, CE status, Pre-Registered hexes, and so on.
2.14 Web Dice
2.140 The use of the dice coming with the VASL module is mandatory.
2.141 Any other system to roll dice, as for example the use of real dice – instead of a dicebot – rolled in front of a web cam is allowed only of both players agree.
2.2 Scenarios and sides are freely chosen by the players, balances included. Any scenario may be chosen [EXC: SK scenarios are NA]. It is strongly recommended to choose scenarios according to the time and the experience both players have.
3. Results
3.1 Results have to be reported before the end of the round using the web form. A link will be provided in the email announcing the pairing for the coming round. The same email will also contain the deadline.
3.2 Players should agree on the result of a game. This is most easy if they finish the game and check the Victory Condition of the scenario played.
3.3 If players can't finish the game, they should somehow agree on a result. The player who is mainly responsible for the missed game or for a delay that makes impossible to end the scenario in time should admit his fault giving the win to the opponent.
3.4 Players are allowed and encouraged to agree on a DRAW if there's no party at fault and no player in a clear winning position, or to roll a die to decide on a winner.
3.5 When the players can't agree on the result of a game not finished, the TD will - with the help of volunteer judges - do so.
3.6 Players are allowed to send the Judges a brief comment to explain their plans for the endgame.
3.7 The game will be judged as a DRAW unless there's overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
3.8 The deadline is not flexible. No game is allowed beyond the deadline scheduled for the round. This applies also in the last round.
4. Abandoning
4.1 We aim to have a VASLeague full of dedicated players. Thus no player can win any League or simply be promoted to an higher level if has even a single forfeit in any of the rounds.
4.2 If a player forfeits two matches he is immediately cancelled from that league and relegated at the bottom of his League. That player will restart from the Second Line League if he will register again.
4.2.1 A forfeited game is a game not played at all. An interrupted game or a game not finished in time as well an early resign after the game has just started is treated simply as a lost game.
4.3. If there's an odd number of players because of previous cancellation, the last active player of a league, gains an automatic "Bye" against a "dummy" player. Nobody in a tourney can gain more than one "Bye".
4.4 Past experience shows that people forfeiting their very first round usually forfeits another round thus becoming cancelled from the tournament. For this reason, a player who forfeits his FIRST round is immediately cancelled (no reason to wait a second forfeit that happens 95% of the time). Exception: A single forfeit in any round in the Second Line League ALWAYS causes immediate cancellation.
5. Prizes
5.1 If you want to donate a price, please contact the TD.
5.2 Registration is free of charge.
Please write to asl@randpatrouille.de for questions and clarifications.
Have fun!
