22 April 2017 and Trenchtown will once again play host for our next FIFA 17 tournament.

For the event, all necessary equipment will be supplied but you may bring along your own controller if you prefer. The FIFA 17 tournament will be run on both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

The tournament will be a double elimination on your preferred platform with the top two per platform playing in a home and away knockout to determine final placings.

Entry fee for the FIFA 17 tournament R50 per player if paid and booked before 20 April 2017, or R60 per player if paid on the day.

Pre-registrations are now open. Please note that we will be limiting entries to 64 players (32 players per platform). Also, please note that your registration will only be secured on payment of the R50. Payment guarantees your spot in the tournament. All non-paid pre-registrations will no longer guarantee you a spot at the event. All non-paid pre-registrations and walk-ins will be accepted on a first come, first served basis on the day.

Should that be in the loser’s bracket, you will be eliminated.

No cursing, shouting, bumping or distracting your opponent.

Pause the game only if you have the ball and have given your opponent a heads up if you are going to pause. Both players must agree they are ready to resume the match.

The ball must be passed back once before you can cross in to the opponents half, you cannot run in to his half straight from kick off.

If you set up your controller, please save it on temporary assigned slot.

It is up to you as player to check your controls before the game starts, the admins and organisers will not be held liable for controllers that are not set up.

Should a console freeze alert one of the admins. If it is still in the 1st half the game will be replayed full but the game continues from the score upon which the screen froze. If it froze in the 2nd half the game is restarted and only one half of the game is played and the score is as it was upon freezing of the console.
