Tiebreakers & Edge Cases

circle-info

This page is updated on an ongoing basis as new edge cases and scenarios are identified.

Match Status Updates

  • If a match is cancelled or postponed after kickoff, players keep the score earned up to that point.

  • If the match is replayed within the same tournament window, the higher score from the two matches will be used.

Scoring Rules

  • Players who play under 45 minutes receive half of the win/draw bonus.

  • Scoring counts through Extra Time, but excludes penalty shootouts.

  • Winning and scoring a penalty grants goal points only, no assist points.

  • Clean sheet bonuses apply to the team, even if a player is subbed off before conceding.

Tie-Breaking

  • Scores are recorded to two decimal places.

  • Ties are broken by the average score from the last 5 matches.

  • If still tied, the winner is decided at random.

Rewards

  • If fewer than 5 eligible players are available in a tournament, unfilled TP rewards are not distributed.

  • Example: With only 3 defenders, rewards for 4th and 5th place are forfeited.

Bench Rules

  • If more than 90 players are eligible and no bench is set, the first 90 players to appear on the pitch are selected.

  • When matches start simultaneously, selection follows the order of Opta data updates.

  • If multiple players are from the same match, priority goes to the player with the better 5-match average.
