How to Report scores:

WIN OR LOSE you must return to your Challengermode match-up and report the final score Report aggregate scores at the end of your BEST OF TWO (AGGREGATE) match, not after each game. If you have reported a score, and your opponent hasn’t, make sure you have uploaded evidence (SCREENSHOT) and contact an admin. Every game must be recorded using the built-in recording functions on PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5 in case of a dispute. Games must be saved and held onto until the end of the tournament. Players must also screenshot the final score screen of each individual game clearly showing the 90:00 playtime and all over information on the screen. This is a very important step and a way for the tournament Admins to confirm that the results are indeed correct. If you are not certain as to how you take a screenshot on your Console, please take a look at this article, it explains the process. If both players are disputing their result, and neither can provide suitable evidence, both players may be given a default loss

Important Games must be recorded as part of new global standard rules. Failure to follow this new rule may lead to forfeiture of match points, at the sole discretion of the admin team.
