Golden Goal Rules

• If the scores are tied after the normal time of the final game with both match scores added together (90 min + injury time), the Golden Goal rule shall be followed to decide the winner, i.e., a third match will be played by the Athletes that will end when the first goal of this second match is scored and the Athlete scoring the goal shall be the winner. This shall be reported as one extra goal to the winning Athlete in the final score of the match-up.

NAT Type

• Players should check their NAT Type before competing, this is easily accessed from your console network settings.

• Players should compete on NAT TYPE ONE (OPEN) or NAT TYPE TWO (MODERATE).

• If you are using NAT TYPE 3 (STRICT), you may be unable to connect to opponents and/or fail to hold a strong connection for a competitive game, leading to an automatic match loss or your disqualification from the tournament.

• Please read instructions on how to change your NAT TYPE here: PS4

How to

Report scores:

• WIN OR LOSE you must return to your Challengermode match-up and report the final score
• If you have reported a score, and your opponent hasn’t, make sure you have uploaded evidence (SCREENSHOT) and contact an admin.
• Players must screenshot the final score screen of each individual game clearly showing the 90:00 playtime and all over information on the screen.
• This is a very important step and a way for the tournament Admins to confirm that the results are indeed correct.
• If you are not certain as to how you take a screenshot on your Console, please take a look at this article, it explains the process.
• If both players are disputing their result, and neither can provide suitable evidence, both players may be given a default loss.
