How to create and join a friend match room
Group matches and the knockout rounds the players play themselves (depending on the tournament: the rounds before the organizers' room, or all the way to the final) are 1 vs 1 Friend Matches. For each match one player creates the room (🏠) and posts its number on eFFCup; the other player searches for the room by that number.
🏠 You create the room
Do this when your match says 🏠 “You create the room”.

- Take a screenshot of the final score.
- Either player reports the score with the screenshot on the tournament page; the other presses Confirm or Dispute.
- If nobody answers within 3 minutes, the reported score stands.
🛟 Having trouble?
- Room not found: check the number and make sure the creator is still in the room.
- Opponent hasn't posted a room number or doesn't show up: write in the match/group chat, report a no-show, or tell the group host or an admin.
- Screenshots are from PlayStation; on PC and mobile the menus have the same names but may look different.
