▾
  • • Matchdays: Saturday & Sunday only.
  • • Game: EA FC (current edition).
  • • Teams: Clubs only for league play.
  • • Match length: 6 minutes per half.
  • • Season format: Round-robin (single or double). Admin announces before kickoff.

2) Scheduling

▾
  • • Fixtures are posted on the site. Players coordinate exact kick-off in Discord.
  • • Be on time. Grace period: 10 minutes. After that, opponent may claim a forfeit (admin decides).

3) Disconnects / Power Cuts (DC Rule)

▾
  • • Before 20’ in-game: Full restart at 0–0.
  • • At/after 20’ in-game: Full restart, but the leader keeps an advantage.
  • • Advantage = the goal difference at the time of DC.
  • • Example: it was 2–1 → restart with the leading side +1 (treated as a one-goal head start in result reporting).
  • • If scores were level at DC, restart 0–0.
  • • Repeated suspicious DCs may be reviewed and penalized.

4) Lag & Meet-ups

▾
  • • To avoid latency, players may meet up and play locally if both agree.
  • • If playing online, try wired internet where possible. Report severe lag with short clip/screenshot if a dispute arises.

5) Reporting Results

▾
  • • After each match, results must be reported through one of these channels:
  • - Website: Submit via the admin dashboard
  • - Discord: Post in #report-scores channel with screenshot
  • - Telegram: Send to admin or post in WFC channel
  • • Include match screenshot as proof of result.
  • • Opponent should confirm the reported score.
  • • Results are official only after Admin approval.
  • • Failure to report results within 24 hours may result in forfeit.
