In Knock Out Games

Extra Time – On
Silver Goal – On
Penalties – On

Depending on the individual tournament, later rounds may have longer matches, for Example 15 min semi-final, 20 mins final. 30 min matches are stupid and should not be played.

The structure of the tournament will be predetermined for each event, subject to amendment depending on number of players turning up.

Groups will be drawn randomly out of a hat, though some seeding system may be implemeted after the first few tournaments to split up the best players.

Groups must be a minimun of 4 players.

Other Stuff

In The event of power cut etc, all matches lost in progress will be replayed from the start regardless of current score.

If either player resets the console they forfiet the match with a 5-0 defeat.

Abuse of the equipment or other players will result in forfieting the match with a 5-0 defeat.
The player also risks disqualification from the event at the discretion of the organisers.

There will be the opportunity for practice / warm up before the start of an event.
However:
during the period of competition players may not engage in friendly matches with any oppenent they may face in the competition, nor may they hog the facilities when tournament matches are waiting to be played.

Wherever possible there will be a bar available at the event, and when not possible drinks will be provided.
- Getting your opponents hammered first is not cheating.

Memory cards will be available for use / may be brought BUT ONLY PLUGGED INTO THE CONSOLE to save goals to enter in the tournament Goal Of the Tournament / Goal Of the Month competitions.
