You already win.
Now you can prove it.

The board is open and the board is still short. Every result is signed off by the person you beat, so a score here is worth something outside here.

How it settles

Nobody takes
your word for it.

01

Challenge

Pick somebody by rank, by region, or because they beat you last week.

Invite dies in 5 min
02

Play

Online from wherever you are, or offline with them sitting next to you. Both count, on separate ladders.

Either counts
03

Submit

You both enter the score. Agree and it settles. Disagree and you each upload proof.

Proof decides
04

Or forfeit

Your opponent has thirty minutes to answer a submitted score. Let it run out and the win is yours.

30 min to respond
The board

Nobody is defending anything yet.

Online and offline are separate ladders. Beating somebody across the country and beating somebody across the table are different tests, and they are scored that way.

Receipts

Every badge is a match somebody lost.

They attach to your card, and they are the part nobody can talk their way out of.

Reading the badge case

Badges attach to your card the moment the match settles.

Questions

Before you sign up.

What happens if we disagree on the score?
You both upload proof and an admin rules on it. There is no automatic thirty minute verdict. The thirty minutes is how long your opponent has to answer a submitted score before the win goes to you by forfeit, which is a different clock doing a different job.
Does it cost anything?
No. Account, matches, ladder, card, all free. There is no console lock either: you and your opponent agree the platform between you.
Does an offline match really count?
Yes, on the offline ladder. You both confirm the result the same way and it moves your offline VG. It does not touch your online score, because beating somebody across a table is not the same test as beating somebody across the country.
Which games can I rank at?
Every title on the games list above, and each one keeps its own ladder. Your score at FC26 is yours at FC26; winning at Mortal Kombat does not buy you a rank at football.
What is a VG Score?
Your rating on one ladder. It starts at 1000, moves with every settled result, and how far it moves depends on who you beat. Beating somebody far above you is worth more than beating somebody far below.
What stops somebody just lying about a result?
The person they beat. A result needs both players to agree, and a contested one needs proof. Accounts that keep filing false reports are flagged, and repeat offenders get suspended.
