The tournament manager reserves the right to change servers. Players will be notified of this on the official forum.

Players must comply with the EULA and Game Rules.

Special characters and repeating punctuation characters are not allowed in team names. Team names that violate the Game Rules and EULA will be manually renamed by the tournament manager.

The tournament manager reserves the right to change the quantity or rules of the Gold Cup. Players will be notified of any changes on the official forum.

Group Stage Description

Group Stage matches will be played in Round-robin format: each team plays against all other teams in the group.

There can be up to four teams in each group. The groups will be assigned according to the principle of even distribution to provide fair conditions for all teams.

The leaderboard of teams in the groups is formed according to the total amount of points earned across all matches:

• 3 points for Victory,
• 0 points for Defeat.

The 1st and 2nd place teams in each group will advance to the Play-offs.

If two or more teams have the same number of points, their positions on the leaderboard will be determined in the following way:

• Considering head-to-head results;
• The highest number of victories in all matches.

If all sorting indicators are equal, all teams that are tied advance to the Play-offs.

Play-offs Description

Play-offs matches will be played in Single Elimination format: a team that loses a match leaves the tournament.

A detailed description of the Play-offs stage will be published on the tournament page once the Group Stage is over.

Winning teams from the Group Stage will be allocated spots in 8 simultaneous play-offs. The number of play-offs can be changed by the tournament manager.

Each Play-offs victor joins the Silver Cup winners and gets an invite to the Grand Final.

In the Play-offs, the tournament manager reserves the right to call for a rematch in the event of a dispute. The map for the match will be determined by the tournament manager.

In the event of a regulation violation by a team, the tournament organizer has the right to assign their place in the tournament to another team.

Match Rules Description

Matches are 7 minutes or less if 3 goals are scored by either team.

In the event of a draw, a 4-minute overtime will starts; the first scored goal or advantage in the battle determines the winner.

Advantage in the battle is measured in control points that are earned by the team that possesses the ball on the opponent's half: the team that first earns 100 control points wins.

The initial spawn points are determined randomly by the automatic tournament system.

To join a battle, players should transfer themselves to the regular team (the right section in the special battle window) and confirm readiness.

Inability to fulfil described conditions will result in a technical defeat.

If an incomplete team enters the battle room and remains incomplete until the end of the countdown, the battle starts as is.

Teams that break the rules will get a technical defeat.

All contradictory situations will be resolved by the match referee. The referee must inform the teams about decisions on such situations on the game forum.

Grand Final Description

The best 24 teams from the Play-offs and 8 winning teams from the Silver Cup will be invited to participate in the Grand Final of the Gold Cup Tournament.

The schedule of the Grand Final will be determined and published after all Play-offs matches are over.

The Grand Final consists of 2 stages: a Group Stage and Play-offs. The rules of the Group Stage are the same as here.

Play-offs matches will be played in Single Elimination format: the team that wins 2 matches (best of 3) advances in the tournament.

In the Play-offs, the tournament manager reserves the right to call for a rematch in the event of a dispute. The map for the match will be determined by the tournament manager.

Technical Issues and Refunds

In the event of a technical failure during a match, the entire match will be played anew, irrespective of already-played battles.

Technical failures are cases when the battle results have not been received by the tournament page, new teams have not been created, or a server crash has occurred. The manager will determine the time of the rematch and notify players about it on the game forum.

A refund will be credited to tournament participants in the event of severe technical issues of the servers or tournament structure, whereby the tournament cannot be continued or replayed.

Each situation will be considered on a case-by-case basis; refunds will be provided in cases where the tournament cannot be continued or replayed, or when such actions will significantly extend the tournament duration.

Refunds will be in the form of a Personal Reserve: +50% to credits earned in battle for 2 hours.
