Match Protocol (All Players)

  1. Both players confirm play call, advanced settings, and uniforms

    • Players can use rulebooks from separate teams so long as they are not custom. For more information, see Section 1.6.4.

  2. Once confirmed, both players will click “Ready” and begin the game

  3. Once the game is complete, both teams will confirm the results using the PlayVS Match Assistant.

  4. Repeat the previous Custom Game & Match Protocol steps and complete the match.

Post-Match Process

  • After both teams agree to the final game's result using the PlayVS Match Assistant, the match will complete and results will be recorded.

  • Take in-game screenshots at the end of each game for your records.

  • If the Match Assistant is skipped, coaches are responsible for verifying that results have been reported manually

  • Matches without results will be quarantined, and risk a match loss for both teams by default.

  • In the event of an error, contact PlayVS Support for further assistance.

Important: By default, Rulebooks overrule Match Instructions. Please reach out to support if you find any conflicting information.
