General rules and guidelines
1.0 – Preparations
1.1 – Complete player profile
All players must have a complete player profile on the website. This means that the following information must be filed out correctly:
• You have to add a gamertag for PS3/XBOX360 to your BeGosu profile (Add it under OPTIONS on the site).
• You must add at least one way of contacting you to your BeGosu profile (MSN, Skype, IRC etc.)
• You must set up your ASR (Auto-Score Reporting). Navigate IN-GAME to: “Online Game Modes” --> “My FIFA 12 Online” --> “Online Settings --> “EA Account Settings”. Then change your e-mail to your-username-here@matchtower.com. After you have done that, go back one menu and navigate to “Match Reports” --> “Forward End-of-Game Stats”. Then choose the option “Yes”.
1.2 – How to play the matches in the group stages:
All matches in the group stages are scheduled to be played within the given timeframe for the group state. Note that if the match is not played when the group stage ends, both players receive 0 points + pentalty points for the match(es) and since this is a point based League we advise all players to get their opponents challenged in good time and have the match played, as it will affect your ranking. If your opponent is not answering your match challenge, then please write on his wall and ask him to accept it and set his preferred time and date. Results are awarded with the following to the individual players: Win = 3 Points, Draw = 1 Point, Loss = 0 points.
1.3 – How to play the matches in the Play-offs’ and Grand Finals:
All matches in the play-off brackets (Visible on the League page when the play-offs begin) are pre-setup bracket matches and you can in the bracket see who your opponent is for the given round. Contact your opponent via matchup details page (click the glass loop icon in the brackets) and set a date and time for the match to be played. When the match has been played, the brackets will update itself and you do NOT have to report it anywhere. In the rare case that it does not automatically update within 30 minutes of the match having been played, please contact our live support.
1.4 - Not being able to play your match before the deadline
If you do not manage to play your match or matches before the deadline of the group play, both you and your opponent will get 0 points for the match(es) and 1 additional penalty point will be taken from your total group points, per missed match, so make sure to get your matches played in good time. If admins find or see players not playing matches on purpose to avoid other players gaining league points for their matches, they may add additional penalty points to the player in questions.
There is no such case where we would award a player points for none played matches in the group stage, if both players have just shown the minimum of activity. Therefore; play your match before the deadline, since that is the best for both of you. The same counts for the Play-offs, there is no such thing as not being able to play the matches, so please get them scheduled and avoid to delay the league.
In case your match is not played before the deadline please write an email to support@luopgames.com with the subject: "FIFA12 KickStars Dispute" within two hours after the deadline of the group stage.
Under special circumstances we might extend the deadline with 12 hours, but that is up to the league administration to decide. Do not try to claim a default win - not through the LIVE Support nor through our Support Email. Note LIVE support does NOT update groups, these can only be reported via email, so please do not ask them to do so.
