Reporting Results and Cancellations

How long does it take to verify a reported result?

-
What happens if a match is not reported?
Should a match go unreported within two hours of it being accepted, it will be considered null and void, it will not be reflected on the players profiles and the funds will be returned to the users accounts. If you cancel a match or a match is canceled, it is final. Once a match is canceled it can not be brought back up.

General Rules Jump To chevron_down
-
How do I make sure my rules are part of the match agreement?
Rules are posted when you send or respond to a challenge. Any rule not stated in the pregame rules will be considered invalid and not an enforceable rule for the match.
-
Can I claim a win in an unplayed 1v1 game?
There are no forfeit wins on SkillRush in 1v1 matches nor is there any reason to claim a win in an a game that has not begun. There is a cancel match option when you click report, it will send a request to your opponent to cancel the match.
-
What if the pre game settings or teams are wrong?
If you do not agree with the settings or team being used do not start the game. Any rule claimed to be broken based on pregame settings, that can be viewed when the game starts, such as amount of time per quarter or period, skill level, rosters, injured players, teams, jersey color, weather, fatigue, can be considered invalid per review based on the amount of time played and score. Any claimed broken rule based on settings that can be viewed pregame in a match played more than 25% through will be automatically invalid regardless of score. If you wait until your opponent has an advantage to exit and make a claim regarding settings, your claim will be considered invalid.
-
My opponent intentionally exitted the match, is that allowed?
If someone exits a match while losing or the game is tied and provides no valid evidence that would give them grounds to do so they will concede the remaining time.
-
What happens if my opponent claims a win while we are still in the game?
Claiming a win while in game and the outcome still in the balance can result in an unfavorable decision. If the game is played to a point where we deem the game to be in hand the score is what will be enforced. If your opponent claims a win while in game and you continue to play past that point, your claim will automatically be considered invalid.
-
Can I use a custom roster or player?
Custom rosters and custom players are not allowed. If you customize your rosters in an attempt to gain a competitive advantage without an agreement or acknowledgement by both players pregame it can result in an unfavorable decision.
-
Can I have a guest in a challenge that is not a team challenge?
Guests are not allowed in 1v1 matches. If you play with a guest and do not inform your opponent prior to game play it can result in an unfavorable decision.
-
What happens if the game lags?
Some games lag and that it is not ideal for game play. Unless the game is exited immediately or at a point that we deem there to be little to no advantage for either party and evidence is provided of the claimed lag the game will have to be played out. We have no grounds to take a lead or win off the board when both players are playing at the same disadvantage.
-
What if someone uses a glitch to gain a competitive advantage?
Glitches or actions that manipulate the basic functions of the game itself are enforceable as a violation whether the glitch or action is specified in the agreed upon rules as disallowed or not.
-
Can I include a point spread in my rules?
For any point spread to be valid it needs to be discussed or acknowledged by both parties prior to initiating the challenge or in the person giving the points rules. If we can not verify the point spread was acknowledged by the person giving the points prior to the challenge being initiated, and the opposing player covers, the match will be deemed a wash. All agreed upon point spreads will be added on to the final score upon completion of regulation unless the rules state otherwise. If a match is exited intentionally and a dispute is initiated the points are added on at that time.
Disputes Jump To chevron_down
-
Where do I file a dispute?
Disputes are filed under My Matches on the My Saloon page.
-
What if I do not have evidence to back my claim of a broken rule?
Any claim of a broken rule without evidence is not a valid claim.
-
What if I prove my opponent broke a rule?
If a player proves a rule to be broken by their opponent at a point where they are winning the match or the match is tied and the match is exited immediately the player who broke the rule will concede the remaining time and lose the match. If the match is played past the point the rule was violated or to a point the game is in hand and the evidence is sent in the match will be considered a draw and all money will be returned to the participants less the SkillRush fee unless the evidence provided shows the broken rule had a direct effect on the final score.
-
What happens if my opponent lies in a dispute?
Providing inaccurate information and/or evidence in an attempt to mislead SkillRush staff in a review will result in an automatic forfeit.
Disconnections Jump To chevron_down
-
What do I do if a game disconnects?
Regardless of who's end the game disconnects on site policy in the event of a disconnection is to finish the game by starting a new game, playing the remaining time out, and adding the score of the game prior to disconnection to the end of the remaining time played.
Circumstances when the game drops need to be recreated. If you and your opponent start a new game with the intent to play the remaining time out and you have an issue with the settings or circumstances you are expected to procure evidence and exit the match immediately. If you continue and play the game out your claim will be considered invalid.
Players are expected to exit the match when the remaining time has been played out. If the game is not exited once the remaining time has passed any time played is valid to the final score. All point spreads will be added on to the final score upon completion of regulation unless the rules state otherwise or you and your opponent agree to something different and that agreement can be verified. If the portion of the game played is not to the end of a quarter or period it will be subject to individual review.
-
What if my opponent is unresponsive or uncooperative in finishing the game?
Refusal to follow the disconnection policy in a game that is tied or you are losing with no grounds to do so will result in forfeiture of the remaining time. Refusal to follow the disconnection policy in a game that you are winning with no grounds to do so can also result in an unfavorable decision. We have no grounds to force your opponent to complete a match at a later date or time. If you are uncooperative, unresponsive, or unable to complete a match that you are losing, is tied, or one possession, within a reasonable amount of time(any more than 5-10 minutes) it will result in a forfeit. If you are uncooperative, unresponsive, or unable to complete a match that you are winning by more than one possession, within a reasonable amount of time(any more than 5-10 minutes), it can result in an unfavorable decision.
-
What happens if someone is excessively dropping from the game?
If you drop from a game more than once in a match you are losing you will forfeit the remaining time. If you drop from a match more than once in a game you are winning it can result in an unfavorable decision.
-
What happens if my opponent is kicked out of a game of Madden for excessive grieving?
If a player is kicked out for "excessive grieving" you treat it as a disconnection unless evidence can be provided to show it should be enforced differently. If you are kicked out for excessive grieving more than once in a match you are losing you will forfeit the remaining time. If you are kicked out for excessive grieving more than once in a game you are winning it can result in an unfavorable decision.
-
What happens if my opponents pause timer runs out?
If you are playing a game without the suggested SkillRush rule set and your pause timer runs out more than once when you are losing a match, or the game is tied, you automatically lose. If your pause timer runs out more than once when you are winning a match, the match will be deemed unresolved. If you play the game passed the point the timer runs out, your claim will be considered invalid.
SkillRush reserves the right to forfeit someone from the remaining time in the event of a disconnection if the score and/or circumstances dictate the remaining time need not be played or the situation can not be recreated.
