    Tournament Progression

    1. 01QualifiersVs. Bots
      Players are divided into multiple groups within each region at the start of the Qualifiers.
      Once the Qualifiers begin, you'll be able to play Qualifier matches
      against bot-controlled versions of registered participants' teams.
      You can play Qualifier matches anytime, as often as you like.
      • Your score is determined by your match performance and the final result.
        Your overall score is calculated from the combined scores of your top 10 matches and reflected in the rankings.
      • At the end of the Qualifiers, the highest-ranked players advance to the Main Round.

      In addition to ranking rewards, you can also earn rewards based on the number of matches you play.
      Play more matches to earn every reward available!

    2. 02Main RoundVs. Players
      • Online matches between players who advanced through the Qualifiers.
        You can play as many matches as you like, but matches are only available during region-specific time slots.

      • As in the Qualifiers, your overall score is calculated from the combined scores of your top 10 matches. The top 16 players in the rankings earn a place in the Finals.

      Players who finish between 17th and 32nd place in the Main Round will earn a Finals Substitute Entry.
      If any of the top 16 players withdraw, substitute players will move up and advance to the Finals.

    3. 03FinalsVs. Players
      • Players who finish between 1st and 32nd place in the Main Round may register for the Finals.
        During registration, you must select preferred times for four matches. Players who do not register will be treated as having withdrawn.

      • The Finals consist of a tournament-style competition for up to 16 players.
        Be sure to check your scheduled match times. Failure to arrive on time will result in a forfeit.

      A special stadium unlike any before awaits in the Finals...

    Frequently Asked Questions

    • Benötige ich eine kostenpflichtige Online-Spielmitgliedschaft meiner Plattform, um an Turnieren teilzunehmen?

      Je nach Plattform ist eine kostenpflichtige Mitgliedschaft bei Nintendo Switch Online, PlayStation® Plus oder XBOX Game Pass erforderlich.

    • Kann ich an Turnieren teilnehmen, wenn Cross-Play deaktiviert ist?

      Nein. Um an Turnieren teilzunehmen, muss Cross-Play aktiviert sein. Wenn Cross-Play deaktiviert ist, kann kein Matchmaking für Turnierspiele durchgeführt werden.

    • Can I be matched with players from other regions?

      No. You will only be matched with players from the region you selected.

    • What should I do if I can't find a match in the Qualifiers?

      We're currently investigating an issue that may prevent some players from finding matches in the Qualifiers and Practice Matches. Until the issue is resolved, please make sure all substitute players have been assigned to your team before trying again.

    • How is the match score calculated in the Qualifiers and Main Round?

      Match scores are calculated based on multiple factors, including match results, goal difference, the number of Focus Battle wins, and shots taken.

    • How are rankings calculated in the Qualifiers and Main Round?

      Your ranking is based on the 10 matches in which you earned the highest scores.
      However, no more than two matches against the same opponent can be included in those 10 matches.

    • How many players will advance to the Main Round?

      We don't disclose the exact number of qualifying players.
      To help prevent match-fixing and score manipulation (read more here), we plan to lower the qualifying threshold so that more players can advance to the Main Round.

    • Do any own goals I score in the Main Round count toward my match score?

      Own goals do not count toward your match score.

    • Can I concede a match during the Main Round or the Finals?

      No. You cannot concede a match during the Main Round or the Finals.

    • What happens if I disconnect during a Main Round match?

      If you disconnect during a Main Round match, you will be temporarily unable to join new matches.
      The more often you disconnect, the longer the penalty will last.

    • If a match is interrupted after matchmaking, will it still count toward my total number of matches?

      No. If a match cannot be completed due to a disconnection or another issue, it will not count toward your total number of matches.

    • Will Victory Medals carry over to the next season?

      No. Victory Medals can be used until the next season begins.
      Any unused Victory Medals will not carry over to the next season.

    • Which matches count toward Tournament Achievement Rewards and Matches Played Rewards?

      Practice Matches, as well as Qualifier, Main Round, and Finals matches, all count toward Tournament Achievement Rewards and Matches Played Rewards.
      Even if you are eliminated in the Qualifiers, you can still earn these rewards by playing eligible matches and meeting the required conditions during the tournament.
