# Managing Match Results

> How to submit game-by-game scores, upload replays, confirm opponent results, and handle disputes.

After your team plays a match, the manager is responsible for reporting the result. This involves submitting the score for each game in the series, uploading a replay file for each game, and either confirming the opponent's submission or filing a dispute if something is wrong.

<Note>
  Only team managers can submit match results. Players cannot submit results on behalf of their manager.
</Note>

***

## The result submission flow

Here is the full lifecycle of a match result:

1. Both teams play the series.
2. **One team** submits the result game-by-game on the match page.
3. The **opposing team** confirms the result — or disputes it within 24 hours.
4. If not confirmed or disputed within 24 hours, the result **auto-confirms**.
5. Standings are updated after confirmation.

<Tip>
  It does not matter which team submits first — either team's manager can submit. Submit promptly so your opponent has time to confirm before the auto-confirm deadline.
</Tip>

## Submitting scores

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to the match page">
    Find your match at [c3esports.com/matches](https://c3esports.com/matches) or from your dashboard. Open the specific match.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Submit Result">
    This button is only available after the match's scheduled start time has passed and your team checked in.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter scores game by game">
    For each game in the series, enter the score for your team and the opposing team. For a BO3, you will fill in 2–3 games depending on how many were played. For a BO5, up to 5 games.

    <Warning>
      Enter scores exactly as they appeared in Rocket League. Do not round, estimate, or guess. Mismatched scores between your submission and the opponent's will trigger a dispute automatically.
    </Warning>

  </Step>

  <Step title="Upload replay files">
    For each game you entered a score for, upload the corresponding `.replay` file. See [Uploading Replays](/players/uploading-replays) for how to find your replay files on your PC.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Submit">
    Click **Submit Result**. The opposing team is notified and has 24 hours to confirm or dispute.
  </Step>
</Steps>

***

## Confirming the opponent's submission

If the opposing team submits first, you will see a notification and a **Confirm Result** button on the match page.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Review the submitted scores">
    Check that every game score matches your own records.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm or dispute">
    * If the scores are correct: click **Confirm Result**. Standings update immediately.
    * If something is wrong: click **Dispute** and follow the [dispute process](/managers/filing-a-dispute).
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  Do not click Confirm if any score is incorrect, even by one goal. Once confirmed, the result is locked and can only be changed by staff through a formal dispute.
</Warning>

***

## Auto-confirmation

If the opposing team does not confirm **or** file a dispute within **24 hours** of your submission, the result auto-confirms. You do not need to chase your opponent — just submit promptly after the match and the system handles the rest.

<Note>
  The 24-hour timer starts from the moment you submit, not from match time. Submit your result as soon as possible after the match ends — results must be submitted within **2 hours** of match completion in any case.
</Note>

## Result and replay deadlines

| Action | Deadline |
| - | - |
| Submit match result | Within **2 hours** of match completion |
| Upload replay files | Within **2 hours** of match completion |
| Opponent confirmation | Within **24 hours** of result submission |
| File a dispute | Within **24 hours** of result submission |

See [Result Deadlines](/rules/result-deadlines) for full policy details and consequences for missing these windows.

## If you need to edit a submitted result

You cannot edit a result after submission. If you submitted incorrect scores:

1. Contact the opposing manager immediately and ask them to file a dispute rather than confirm.
2. Alternatively, file a dispute yourself — but note that disputes you file against your own submission require staff review.

The cleanest solution is to double-check your scores **before** clicking Submit.

***

## Forfeits

If your team wins by forfeit (the opposing team did not check in), the match page will show a **Record Forfeit** button. Click it to record the 3-0 forfeit win. No replay files are needed for a forfeit.

If your team is forfeiting, contact staff as soon as possible — ideally before match time. See [Check-In Policy](/rules/check-in-policy).
