Each goal gets one point, and whoever has the most points when the timer runs out wins. If both teams are tied when the timer runs out, it goes into sudden death over time mode, where whoever gets a point first wins. The overtime game mode can theoretically last forever. There are also many various mini games and tournaments. Maps There are a number of different arena maps to choose from. These include Urban This arena is highly noted for its nuetrality.
