Rules
On the night
- Format
- Single knockout of up to 8 or 16 clubs, played in one night. Every game is a club friendly.
- Which game counts
- The first friendly between the two clubs that starts after your fixture opens. Warm-ups before that don’t count.
- Results
- When your game ends, post the score in the cup channel, or both captains use /cup result. The organiser confirms every result.
- Deadline
- Each round has a deadline, shown on the bracket (usually 40 minutes). It’s a guide: if you’re running late, tell the organiser in the cup channel.
- Level after full time
- Play the shootout, and include who won on penalties when you post the score. The winner goes through.
Entering, and when things go wrong
- Entry
- Only approved clubs go into the draw, and for cups with an entry fee, only once they’ve paid. The person who signs up is the club’s captain for the night.
- Platform
- Each cup is for one platform group, shown on the cup page. You can only enter a club on that platform.
- Leaving early
- If a side quits, tell the organiser in the cup channel. They can award the game or order a replay.
- Disputes
- The organiser can set a result, award a walkover, give more time or void a game for a replay. Their decision is final.
Questions

It doesn’t matter. Results don’t depend on EA: captains post the score and the organiser confirms it.
Ask the organiser in the cup channel before the draw.
