We are making some updates to existing Elites matchmaking rules, and policy, to remove unsportsmanlike play in Elites.

In Elites, more than any other mode, we expect runners to play optimally for their own results. While we have systems in place to mitigate the chance of players meeting other players that they have loyalty to, it does happen. In some of these cases this has resulted in players not playing only for their own result, but also for the result of the player that they know.

The updated matchmaking rules will make such cases less likely and we are making such play strictly against the rules.

To help us with this we are giving you the option to report players who help each other in Elite races. In the Post-Game you will be able to send reports for players in that race. This gives us hard evidence, making it easier for us to follow up on those specific races. Please use this if you see any signs of unfair play!

Players who we deem to be playing in a way that helps another player will first be given an Elite season ban. This means they will not be able to participate more in the current Elite season. If players continue to assist others, they will receive a 30 day ban from the game and eventually a permanent ban.

Unrelated to this issue, we are also making some changes to Trophy progression between 500 and 1300 Trophies. The change will make progress a bit less punishing at these Ranks.

Play to win, but most importantly, play fair.
