# Competitions & Game Modes

Every match in FutbolBrawl has stakes. Every win means something. Every loss costs you.

New to the game? Start with the two free modes: friendlies and the Brawl League. Move on to the Underground once you know your squad.

### Friendly Matches (free)

Play a free friendly
{% endembed %}

The no-risk way to test your squad. Open **Competitions → Friendly Match**, pick an opponent by difficulty, from Easy to Difficult, and play.

You get **5 free friendlies every day**. There is no stake, and every friendly also counts as daily training for your players. Each match comes with a full report, so you can see exactly why you won or lost.

### Brawl League (free)

Brawl League and the Underground
{% endembed %}

Free seasonal leagues against other managers.

Join a public league with an open slot and you start right away. Each league has 8 teams and runs as a round robin: matches play out on their own, once a day at fixed times, over 7 or 14 rounds. Follow the standings, your next match and the league feed as the season goes on.

Leagues are grouped by squad rating (OVR), so you face teams close to your level. The top 3 teams share a **$CASH prize pool**.

### Underground

The core PvP arena. Find an opponent matched by OVR, both players put up a $CASH wager, match simulates, winner takes the pot minus a small system fee.

You can join open matches or create your own with custom stakes.

**Weekly Tournament:** every Underground match earns prestige points toward the weekly leaderboard, and the top managers share the prize pool.

* **Win:** 4 points, plus the rating gap if you beat a stronger team (at least 1 point).
* **Draw:** half of that (at least 1 point).
* **Win by 3 goals or more:** +1 bonus point.
* Points only count for your first 2 matches against the same opponent.

One lucky win means nothing. Dozens of wins over a week? That's where legends are made.

### Stadium King

King of the Hill mode. One throne, many challengers.

A Stadium King holds an arena. Challengers pay an entry fee to fight for the throne. Each challenge adds to a growing pot. The manager holding the stadium when the period ends wins the accumulated pot.

Different arenas have different entry costs, some run on $CASH, others on $GOAL. Higher tier arenas mean bigger stakes and bigger rewards. Holding the throne can also earn bonus prizes like random players for your squad.

### What's Coming

Bracket tournaments and special events. The foundation is here: put your money where your tactics are.
