RULES 1V1

1. Arranging matches

We use Discord server as the main means of communication, but also other means of communication. A list of all of them is here:

  1. Discord server
  2. Facebook
  3. Chat on the web
  4. Private messages on the web
  5. Messages on the console
2. Rules and match settings
  1. Difficulty - Superstar
  2. Game Style - Competitive
  3. Period length - 4 minutes
  4. Rules - Custom
  5. Battles - On.
  6. Eliminations - On.
  7. Injuries - On.
  8. Offsides - Suspended
  9. Disqualification - Hybrid
  10. Overtime Setup - 5 minutes (3 on 3), then shootout
  11. Goalie control in shootout - On.

Playoffs will always be determined prior to the start of each contest.

3. Playing matches

Each manager (hereafter GM) will have a schedule of matches in each competition.You GM will decide who plays home or away. Each GM can only play for his/her assigned team (during the live draw).

4. Recording the results

Results are usually entered by the winner (unless otherwise agreed by the players) with accurate and complete statistics, if there are any in that particular competition, within 48 hours of the match being played. Otherwise, the opponent may request that the match be annulled.

The only exception is if a player makes a mistake. At that point, they contact one of the admins. He will resolve the problem with him.

Here are the screenshots of the game that are needed to post the result on the website:

5. Lagging the game

If your game is lagging, the connection is not always to blame. Occasionally EA servers do this, but it rarely happens. The moment one of the GMs finds it unplayable, by agreement between the two GMs, they will end the game and try to play the rest of the game again. The match should be shut down as soon as possible, but preferably after the first period!!! You can have your PS4/PS5 connected via cable or WIFI, but only if it is a good quality connection!!! The minimum speed required to play online is 3MB download/1,5MB upload and a max response time of 60ms!! But it's up to each GM to be accommodating and tolerate a response time higher than 60ms. 

In case the game crashes, the GM will agree to play or finish the game again. With the caveat that if you have raids or overtime left you play that part of the game, not the whole game. But if the match is dropped a second time, it is played all over again with a 0:0 score!!

If a player drops the match intentionally and does not finish the match or does not want to play from the beginning, he will be penalized and this:

  1. Warning
  2. Ejection from the competition
  3. Non-participation in further competitions
  4. Permanent BAN on the website
6. Fair play

As part of fair play it is forbidden to deliberately delay the game (e.g. stop playing, stand behind the goal, skip "demonstrations" etc...). It is also forbidden to call off the goalkeeper in order to trip an attacking player. Everything will be penalized and this:

  1. Warning
  2. Deduction of points in the league - 10 points
  3. Ejection from the given competition
  4. Non-participation in other competitions
  5. Permanent BAN on the website
7. Activity

Limits set for playing a league or tournament will not be extended. We will evaluate each failure to meet the limits and take the following steps:

  1. Warning
  2. Ejection from the competition
  3. Non-participation in further competitions
  4. Permanent BAN on the website
