- General Information
Before playing their first match, each player is required to read, understand, and strictly follow the rules. We will make every effort to keep this section up to date at all times, but under certain circumstances, this may not be possible. In case of unforeseen situations or discrepancies, the decisions of the tournament administrators and organizers will take precedence and be final.
By registering to participate in the tournament, you agree to all the rules listed below. Administrators have the right to disqualify players who do not comply with the rules or do not maintain proper conduct. Rule changes may occur without notifying players.

The winner of each match advances to the next round, while the loser is eliminated.
Pausing the game is only allowed when the ball is out of play or by mutual agreement. If a player pauses the game while the ball is in play without mutual agreement, they will forfeit the current match.
- Reporting Results
All results must be reported to an administrator immediately after the end of the series. Either player may report the result, but the winner holds primary responsibility for doing so.
- Connection Loss and Technical Issues
If a match is interrupted due to a technical issue after the referee’s initial whistle, the match will be replayed. If there is no mutual agreement to replay the match, a new match will be played with recreated conditions as close as possible to the interrupted game. These conditions can include number of goals, red cards, etc., and are determined by the administrator.
If it is determined by the administrator that the disconnection was caused by one of the two opponents, that player will receive a forfeit loss.
In case of a draw and missing extra time/penalty settings, both players are responsible. If it was the first match in a best-of series, the score is considered 1:1, and players start a final “third” match with the correct settings. If it was the third match, it is replayed with proper settings.
- Delays and No-Shows
Players must follow the tournament bracket to know their next opponent.
If a player is more than 5 minutes late for a match, administrators may assign a forfeit loss. Exception: waiting on an opponent who is still playing in a previous round.
Administrators are responsible for monitoring the timely execution and preparation of matches.
Player Names
Players will be registered with their full names, not nicknames.
- Player Conduct
All participants are required to maintain and exhibit sportsmanlike behavior. Any unsportsmanlike conduct—including, but not limited to, racism, vulgar or offensive behavior, disrespectful comments, and inappropriate conduct toward administrators—will not be tolerated. Participants who violate these standards are subject to penalties, including forfeiting a match, disqualification, or removal from the tournament, as deemed necessary by the organizers.
Any accusations of unsportsmanlike conduct or attempts to cheat must be reported promptly to the administration team with provided evidence and will be investigated by the organizers.
