# Match Rules

## Event Structure

Different types of events have distinct rules. In both "Standard Matches" and "Multiplayer Matches," each match follows these rules:

| Event Rules                                                 | Standard Matches & Multiplayer Matches                             |
| ----------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Maximum Matchmaking Duration**                            | 30 seconds                                                         |
| **Maximum Pre-match Preparation Duration**                  | 600 seconds                                                        |
| **Timeout without Participation after Successful Matching** | Match remains valid, score set to 0, non-refundable Entry Fee      |
| **Determination of Victory or Ranking**                     | Based on the highest score                                         |
| **Tiebreaker for Players with Equal Scores**                | Players compete again until scores differ                          |
| **Timeout for All Players without Participation**           | Match remains valid, all players score 0, non-refundable Entry Fee |
