Tournament Handbook

• The game will follow its own in-game decisions, including fouls, penalties, offsides, red cards, and other referee decisions. Such decisions are final and cannot be disputed.

• Camera settings apply to offline gameplay only.

• All common gameplay settings must remain consistent throughout the tournament. Players may customise their own controller preferences, such as button configuration, provided these do not change the agreed tournament gameplay settings.

All players must have their player ratings set to 95 overall for every match. The 95 overall rating rule applies to all players, including the starting XI and substitutes.

• Both players must confirm their selected teams before the match begins.

Players are not allowed to pause the game while the ball is in play. You may pause only when the ball is out of play, for example during goal kicks, throw-ins, corners, free kicks, or after a goal.

• Players must not deliberately waste time, exploit glitches, or engage in unsportsmanlike behaviour.

• Any intentional violation of the tournament rules may be reviewed and penalised by the tournament organiser.

• If a controller disconnects or stops functioning, the match may be paused immediately to resolve the issue.

• If the game freezes, crashes, or becomes unplayable due to a technical problem, the tournament organiser will decide whether the match should be restarted or resumed.

• If a technical issue occurs, both players must immediately inform the organiser.

• Players are not allowed to deliberately interrupt or restart a match to avoid an unfavourable result.

• The tournament organiser's decision regarding technical issues will be final.

• Players will be informed of their respective match schedules in advance.

• All participants are expected to arrive on time and be ready for their scheduled matches.

• Any player who is unable to attend their scheduled match must inform the tournament organiser in advance.

• Repeated delays or failure to appear for a scheduled match may result in a walkover or disqualification, at the organiser's discretion.

• The format may include group stages, knockout rounds, or a combination of both, depending on the total number of participants.

• The complete tournament structure, fixtures, and progression rules will be communicated to all participants before the tournament begins.

• Players must be present and ready at their scheduled match time.

• Players must check their teams, formations, tactics, controller settings, and other preferences before the match begins.

• Once a match starts, players cannot request a change of team.

• Any disputes or situations not covered by these rules will be handled by the tournament organiser.

• The tournament organiser reserves the right to take appropriate action in cases of misconduct, unfair play, or repeated violations.
