Tournament Rules

A fair, clear, and repeatable system for both VFLA leagues. Every player gets a defined schedule, equal opportunity, and a transparent path to the playoffs.

League Stage
One match vs all
Playoffs
Top 4 qualify

Tournament Format

Leagues
PS5 + PC League and PS4 League follow the same format.

Each league runs separately. Players compete only inside their own league table during the league stage.

  • PS5 + PC League
  • PS4 League
League Stage
Every player plays one match against every other player in the same league.

Fixtures will be scheduled by the admin, and players must follow the official fixture list.

Points and Ranking

Points System
  • Win: 3 points
  • Draw: 1 point
  • Loss: 0 points
Tie Breakers

If two or more players finish on the same points, ranking will be decided in this order:

1
Goal difference
2
Goals scored
3
Head-to-head result
4
Admin decision, if still tied

Playoffs

The top 4 players qualify after the league stage.

Once all league-stage matches are complete, each league moves into semi-finals, final, and third place match.

Semi-Final 11st vs 4th
Semi-Final 22nd vs 3rd
FinalSemi-final winners
Third PlaceSemi-final losers

Scheduling

Reschedule Rule
Each player gets one reschedule option for each match.

If a player cannot play at the scheduled time, they must inform the admin before the match and request a reschedule.

Unused reschedule options do not roll over. A reschedule option is valid only for that specific match.
Result Submission

After every match, players must submit the result with a screenshot showing the final score clearly.

Match Rules

Platform and Invites
  • Supported platforms may include PS5, PS4, PC, and Xbox, depending on the league setup.
  • Cross-platform play is allowed where supported.
  • The home player sends the match invite and the away player joins.
  • Players must ensure their game, account, internet, and platform settings are ready before the match.
Communication
  • Same-platform players can use platform party chat.
  • Cross-platform players should use Discord where required.
  • If voice communication is not possible, the match should still continue and the result must be submitted.
Disconnect Policy
  • First disconnect: match may be restarted.
  • Second disconnect: match may be rescheduled.
  • Repeated disconnects: admin will make the final decision.

Fair Play and Admin

Fair Play

Cheating, exploits, intentional disconnects, abusive behavior, or manipulation of results will not be allowed. Players must respect opponents, admins, and the league environment.

Admin Authority

The admin's decision will be final in case of disputes, unclear results, connection issues, scheduling issues, or exceptional situations.
