After both teams enter the pitch, a random selection of two players will be given a configuration menu deciding the game length. For the settings you must choose the long time option (18 minutes). Failure in doing so will result in a restart of the current leg (game-half) [only if after match ended]. If a shorter time is picked the time to be played will be played in another match. However if it is a longer match and the referee notices before the match ends then they can decide to shorten the current leg or they can restart it. Clear abuse of this rule (using it intentionally to restart legs) will result in a season long ban for the individual/point deduction for the team.

Last man is a term referring to the denial of a goal scoring opportunity in which the last defender on the pitch fouls the last attacker in a 1-on-1 situation. Regardless if the in-game ref blows for a foul or not a TL official may deem it as last man if the ball is not won. A tackle key used to clear the ball also resulting in a foul on the player will not be seen as a last man, only if there’s a foul and the ball isn’t also cleared with the same tackle. A red card will be given to the attackers team as a result with no further hesitation.

Much like the ‘Last Man’ rule this applies in a reversed scenario – when the attacker fouls a center back in a 1-on-1 situation to get a hold of the ball. This is deemed unfair play and will result in any goals scored from this not counting, the offender will also receive a yellow card.

As a result of 2 in-game yellow cards regardless of leg a red card may be given to the individual. This means that if you obtain a yellow card in the first leg and another in the second you will be given a red card and told to leave the current game. Failure to leave will lead to +1 every half you play if you are red carded. Red card will see a suspension for 2 games in the current competition (Ex: red card in normal league does not translate over to a cup or another competition). Failure to leave the game after a red card after an extended amount of time will result in a 4 game suspension instead, it will also be an auto-goal every 45 ingame minutes they stay in the match.

As a result of 3 yellow cards in multiple matches given in-game or the referee a 1 match suspension will be given to the individual. This means that if you obtain 3 yellow cards within the season you will be suspended 1 match after the third yellow card is given.

The mercy rule is a rule enforcing the game to be stopped after a certain goal difference is made. A team managing a goal difference of 8 goals will automatically win the match with no further action afterwards. (Ex: when the score hits 8-0 the team who scored 8 will automatically win the game, the game will be stopped regardless of leg).

This can range from speed boosting to abusing throw-in techniques, such as the glitch which allows you to throw it to yourself, or even illegal glitch shots which prevent players from getting react. This isn’t around as much nowadays, however, it still appears from time to time. Any clear use of abusing game glitches will cancel out any goals scored from it, consistent (2 Different Occasions) use of these glitches will result in a red card.

Pass back is when a player passes the ball to their own goalkeeper who then picks up the ball with their hands (GK tool + R/F). There will be an yellow card given to the opposite team if this occurs. This rule doesn’t apply when the ball is chested (dribble + X) or headed (shoot + Q) but only when it’s passed via the legs.

In the event that a goalkeeper experiences an auto drop of the ball or encounters any glitch that can be clearly evidenced, any goals scored from such situations will be deemed invalid and disallowed. The image below shows the limit of where a player may be positioned when the opposing team has a corner, the play may only go beyond the red line when the blue forcefield has disappeared.

When a corner kick is awarded to the opposing team, it is important for the player rushing toward the ball to wait until the ball is kicked by the corner taker. Rushing prematurely will result in a warning for the first offense. However, if this action is repeated a second time, the opposing team will be granted a yellow card. This progressive approach ensures fair play and discourages any premature rushing during corner kicks.

During kick-offs it is illegal to pass the ball forward, the ball must be passed back in your own half of the pitch. The player passing forward will be subject to a straight yellow card.

All official games should be played formally, any form of sabotaging and or trolling which can be anything from intentionally giving away the ball to scoring OG’s intentionally will result in a suspension.
