Matches & Competition
5. Create or Join a Match
Players can create a match or join an existing open match:
- When creating a match, select the field, sport, date, time slot, number of players, and match type (Ranked or Friendly).
- Open matches are visible to other players who can join and pick a team slot (Team A or Team B).
- When all slots are filled, a field reservation is automatically created for all match participants and everyone is notified.
6. Ranked vs Friendly Matches
Choose the type of match that suits your goals:
- Ranked: the result is recorded and affects your competitive rating and tier. All tournament matches are automatically ranked.
- Friendly: casual play with no effect on your ranking. Score submission is not available for friendly matches.
- Select the match type when creating a match. You cannot change it after creation.
7. Score Submission & Ranking
After a ranked match ends, the result goes through the following process:
- Any match participant can submit the score result.
- Other players have 24 hours to dispute the submitted score.
- If undisputed after 24 hours, the result is automatically applied and all players' ratings are updated.
- If disputed, a voting process among match participants determines the final result.
- Your rank is displayed as: Tier (Bronze → Silver → Gold → Platinum → Diamond), Division (I / II / III), and Rating Points (0–100).
- Players who are inactive for 14 or more days will see their rating gradually decrease until they play again.
8. Teams
Create or join a persistent team to play together:
- Create a team and share your invite code with other players.
- Team members can join matches together as a group.
- Tournament registration requires a team — only team captains can register for a tournament.
- Your team affiliation is recorded with your match history.
9. Tournaments
Compete in organized tournaments hosted by field owners:
- Tournaments support Knockout, Round Robin, and Group Knockout formats.
- Team captains register their team during the registration period.
- Once all teams have registered, the bracket is auto-generated and matches are scheduled on available fields.
- All tournament matches are ranked and contribute to every participating player's competitive rating.
- Match results automatically advance teams through the bracket.
