Season duration
Each online season kicks off at 09:00 (GMT) on the first day of the respective month and finishes at 8:59 (GMT) on the first day of the next month. There will be no break between online seasons.  Points will be automatically reset when a new online season kicks off (9 am GMT).

The objective is to finish in the top two on the season's leaderboard. Points will be automatically reset when a new online season kicks off. The top two gamers from each online season will secure tickets for the FIWC13 Grand Final. At the end of each season, your points total will revert to zero, ensuring everyone gets a fresh chance to qualify with every new season. You only have to register once to take part in all six seasons.

Territory Showdowns
Territory Showdowns will take place in England, Germany, France and Spain. The best three players from the online leaderboard from each respective country will be joined by last year's national champion in a live competition for a Grand Final seat. The winner from the previous year is granted a seat in the Territory Showdown final, whilst the remaining three players play two games each to battle it out for the remaining spot. Each Territory Showdown winner will be granted a seat at the FIFA Interactive World Cup 2013 Grand Final.
