    6. The ties for the following fixtures will be posted on the scheduled dates shown above by 1 PM.
    7. It is your responsibility to organise and set up your matches within the 6 day span. No exceptions to this rule. If you fail to get your match in you automatically forfeit your match and one of the reserve members will be chosen to move on in the tournament (for continuity)
    8. You can use this forum, twitter and our private contact form to report issues and scores.
    9. If there are any left over spots available they will be taken up by NextBet staff.

    Specific Game Rules

    1. It is up to you to decide who will host. The following settings must be used. It is up to each member to make sure the proper settings have been used. If they aren’t and you want to dispute the settings that the host created you will need to provide proof that they were incorrect (via photos) otherwise you’ll have to take your loss. There are no exceptions to these rules.

      Team Level: PREMIERSHIP TEAMS ONLY
      Half Length: 6 Minutes
      Controls: Any
      Game Speed: Normal

    2. No custom made teams or Virtual Pros.
    3. If a game ends in a draw extra time counts, if the game is still level then replay the game. Penalty kicks dont count.
    4. If a player drops out of the game once it has started for any reason (disconnect, lag etc) then you will forfeit the match. Absolutely no exceptions.
    5. Once again your match must be completed within the time frame. If it is not and we do not receive your final score a reserve member will take the spot in the next week’s bracket.
    6. Final scores must be reported by the winner (or both if possible) to us on this thread. If there are any disputes over the score then photos of the final score will need to be provided. If visual proof is only provided by one member then that member’s proof will be used; if no visual proof is provided and the dispute cannot be resolved then both members will be disqualified. Please make sure to cover your back and take photos for proof if you’re concerned; otherwise your dispute will be dismissed.
    7. In the event that both members from a bracket get disqualified for whatever reason a member from the “reserves” list will be allowed to take a spot in the next bracket. This occurence of this should be rare (because everyone should be on their best behavior) but the rule will be set in place so that we aren’t left with a hole in the bracket for the following week. This rule is non-negotiable.
    8. Please DO NOT post dispute results in the forums. Take it to the contact form or DM on Twitter if there is a real issue.
    9. There is a strict zero tolerance policy with this tournament. Meaning: if you are going to make allegations of cheating etc then you must provide concrete proof of the issue. If no proof is determined the claim will be dismissed. If further drama ensues then both members from the match will be disqualified, no questions asked. Additionally problems arising out of any misconduct during this tournament will disqualify you for participation in future tournaments. That includes unnecessary complaining, flaming, drama and/or the breaking of ANY rules stated here.
    10. These rules are completely non-negotiable. We are doing this tournament for your enjoyment, please enjoy it. Don’t stress if you lose, there is always next time to prove your worth!

    Quick Question :

    I’ve run online comps before and the only concern is identifying who the disconnect/lag lies with.
    We had also had rules around this to stop deliberate disconnects.

    Disconnect prior to 15 mins = start again
    15 mins – 85 mins = take the score when disconnect happened and play out the remaining minutes.
    85 mins + = score stands

    Just a thought…
