Casual Events Overview

This season of PESRankings has introduced a new type of event, the casual event. Rather than playing pre-defined fixtures against chosen opponents in a knockout or league, in a casual event you decide who to play from the player list and when. Casual events usually run during a fixed time, see the event notes for more details.

At the end of the event, PESRankings will automatically choose your best 5 fixtures based on winning, goals for / against and goal difference. This will give your final score (more on this later). The only catch is that you may only play the same opponent a maximum of two times. Any fixtures played over this limit will be discarded (the worst results from your point of view will be discarded).

Don't worry though, ALL fixtures played will count towards your rank on PESRankings.com.

Getting started

Firstly, you'll need to log in to PESRankings.com. To join the event, click the Events tab and find the event you wish to join then click Join Event. Unlike other types of event, you can join casual events even after they have started.

Finding someone to play

In the event notes the admin will have specified to meet up in the pesrankings chat room or a game lobby online. Follow the event admins instructions and you will be able to chat to the other players and find someone to play.

I have some results, now what?

Go to the event page on PESRankings.com (its handy to keep this open during the event). Once the event has started you'll be able to see a panel of links that looks like this:

Click this link and you'll see a page showing any fixtures you have played and entered scores for (in some cases, you may find your opponent or an admin has entered scores already).

Simply enter the scores as they were at full time and click submit. Sometimes, your opponent may have entered scores while you were typing. In this case, you may see the following error message:

If you see your scores are already entered, just click the View Your Fixtures link again to remove the message. If you have played the same opponent more than once with the same result, just tick the box and press submit.

Ok my results have been entered, what next?

Go back to the lobby / chatroom and find another player to play against.You can play as many matches as you wish until the event finishes at the specified time (see event notes).

The event has finished, how did i do?

On the event page, again click the View Your Fixtures link:

PESRankings automatically selects your best 5 fixtures for the final calculation as soon as the event finishes.
The fixtures that were selected are highlighed in green.

To see the final standings click the link below View Your Fixtures titled Group Tables:
