# FAQ

<details>

<summary>Q1. When are contracts deducted during a tournament match?</summary>

When a tournament match starts, 1 contract is deducted from every player included in your active lineup.\
Contracts are deducted only once, right before kickoff. If you add a new player to the lineup before the match starts, that player will also lose 1 contract. Buying contracts after the match has started will not apply to that match.

<details>

<summary>Q2. How are player scores calculated after a match?</summary>

After the match ends, the system processes official match data and calculates player scores based on match results and in-game actions such as goals, assists, passes, defensive actions, goalkeeper saves, and errors.\
Scores also include Bonus Points for wins or draws, depending on the competition. Extra time is counted, but penalty shootouts are excluded.

<summary>Q3. What is the Tournament Squad Cap and how does it work?</summary>

The Tournament Squad Cap defines the maximum number of active players whose performance is counted toward tournament scoring (maximum 90 players). If more than 90 eligible players are available, the system will automatically prioritize players based on match data availability and recent performance, unless the user manually adjusts the lineup.

<summary>Q7. What is the difference between Active and Substitute player status?</summary>
