Match Guidelines

Contestants are only allowed to use listed formation available in the game and custom formations are strictly prohibited. Custom Tactics is not allowed.

Contestants who want to do any changes during play is allowed ONLY when the ball is out of play. All

Contestants are to verbally announce their intention to call a Timeout to their opponent at least when the ball is out of play ( throw in, corners, goal kicks FREE KICKS). This is to prevent contestants from using the Timeout to interfere with match proceedings.

The contestant who has scored more goals at full time will be declared the winner. In the event of a draw, contestants will go into Extra Time and/or Penalty Shootout depending on which stage of the tournament they are currently in.

Before the Quarter-Finals, contestants will go into Penalty Shootout immediately in the event of a draw at full time. The winner of the Penalty Shootout will proceed to the next round.

From the Quarter-Finals onwards, players will go into Extra Time in the event of a draw at full time. Should the draw still persist at the end of Extra Time, the winner will be determined by Penalty Shootout.

In scenario of a player received a RED CARD – He is allowed to change his strategy immediately. NO CUSTOM FORMATIONS.

Match Downtime / Disconnections
A referee will confirm the exact score to that point (even if the ball is about to cross the goal line, the goal shall not count), and restart the match.

A referee will inform the players on exactly how many minutes must still be played in order to complete the match.

Any players sent off the field (red card) will not be available for play during the rematch (gamers please note of this rule, if the opponent forgets about switching the red carded player, you have the right to voice out)

If the disconnection occurs after a corner kick was awarded to a player, the match will resume with a corner kick for that same player.

Intentional disconnection: Upon judgment by the referee, any offending player will be charged with a loss and a possible disqualification from the tournament.
