Revision as of 19:45, 19 August 2019
Friendlies are played quarterly, over several weekends, in preparation for the four major tournaments of the 4chan Cup. While friendlies do have a slight bearing on team rankings, they are generally used as a means of readying a team for coming matches of greater importance, or to experiment with new tactics. Friendly matches are of the most importance to teams looking to improve their seeding for coming tournaments, as rankings directly affect the pots for group stage draws. The rules regarding friendlies have changed over time.
Exhibition matches have occasionally been played during tournaments to showcase new teams.
History

Friendlies for the following Babby Cup used good conditioning for all teams and matches were set to be thirty minutes long (fifteen minutes per half), a slight extension on the standard twenty minute match length for most official matches.
