Arranging Fixtures
All players must be in the UFHQ FB group Chat rooms provided during the tournament for communication with their opponents & admin.
Your Name/GT/PSN ID will be on the bracket, but you can confirm with your opponent in the chat room so there is no confusion. If any player is unsure please contact admin to double check.
Simply arrange your matches with your opponents
and agree on a set day & time. Play online before each deadline. In the Group stage each player plays twice in your group, which means you will play 6 matches. Make sure you play Home & Away in one session. Please be aware that things can change, so if a player has a legit reason for not making an arranged game it can still be rearranged for another time as long it's still within that set deadline. Any issues always contact Admin.
Hosting
If having problems connecting then swap hosts and play it as an away match, but notify Admin.
Connection Issues
If during the game it goes out of sync or freezes: During the first 5 mins, regardless of the score, you start again at 0-0;
Any time after 5 mins, whatever time was left when it went out of sync you replay the game, but only the remaining time which was left (for example it froze on 60 mins and was 4-3 you reconnect and play only 30 mins of the first half at 4-3. Make sure when you reconnect, you both agree on the time to be played and what the current score is).
