9. Mutator Settings: Series Length: 3 games and the rest are default settings. See the picture under rule 10.

10. Mutator Settings: The mutator settings should mirror the settings listed in the picture below.

  1. Games will be five minutes in length, whichever team has the most goals at the end of the game is the winner. If tied after five minutes, the games will be immediately determined by sudden death overtime.

  2. Each game will be a best 2-out-of-3 series. The best of 3 series must be played consecutively. Make sure to change this in the Mutator Settings.

  3. Players are strongly discouraged from quitting out of matches during play. If a participant intentionally disconnects from the game and is not able to reconnect to the game, then a loss will be given to the player. This loss will be recorded as a forfeit.

  4. If a “player” unintentionally disconnects from the game, the game shall continue as played. The disconnected player will attempt to rejoin the game as soon as possible. If the player cannot rejoin, the game will continue as is.

  5. If a “team” unintentionally disconnects from the game and is not able to reconnect, the following will happen:

    1. Disconnected with 30 seconds or less left of Game Clock: If the losing team disconnects, the game will
      be considered complete. If the winning team unintentionally disconnects or if the game is tied, follow
      option “b”.

    2. Disconnected with more than 30 seconds left on Game Clock: A new game shall be played. During this
      new game, both teams will work together to adjust the score and game time to match what it was at the point of the disconnect.
      ▪ Teams will allow “free goals” until the game score is back to where it should be. Once the score is correct, do not resume play until the game clock is correct as well. This means each car should remain in their starting position with the ball in the middle of the field. Once the game clock is correct, play can resume.

Tournament Layout:

1. The Tournament layout will be determined based on the number of participants registered by the deadline. Here are the different tournaments that may be played:

  • Single Elimination 

  • Round Robin

  • Double Elimination

  • Pool Play

2. No matter the tournament format, each “team” is guaranteed at least two games.

3. Seeding and Home/Away will be decided randomly.
