How does scoring validation work in Arcade?

 

When is my lineup validated?

We first check your lineup 5 minutes after the final whistle of its last match.

  • Above the target: the level is validated and you move to the next one with 4 lives. It stays validated, and you keep the reward, even if a later score correction brings you below target.
  • Below the target: you lose a life, but the lineup isn't necessarily over. If a later score correction takes it above target, the level is validated automatically and we'll send you a notification.

Can a score go down before my lineup is validated?

Yes. Your players don't all play at the same time. If some of them have finished their match while others still have to play, score corrections can move the finished players' scores up or down in the meantime.

Your lineup is checked on the latest scores 5 minutes after the final whistle of its last match. The protection described above only starts once your level is validated.

How long can a score correction validate my lineup?

Until scores are locked for good. The lock depends on when the last match in your lineup is played:

  • Between Friday 4PM and Tuesday 4PM Paris time: scores lock on Tuesday at 8PM Paris time.
  • Between Tuesday 4PM and Friday 4PM Paris time: scores lock on Friday at 8PM Paris time.

After that, scores are final and no correction can change your result.

Do I have to wait for a correction?

No. You can retry the level right away with a new lineup.

If you've lost all 4 lives, you have two options:

  • Wait: your failed lineups can still be validated by a score correction until scores lock.
  • Restart the board from level 1: you start a fresh run right away.

Please note that once you restart the board, your previous lineups can no longer be validated by a score correction.

Which scores do I see?

Player scores always show their latest version, including any correction, on your solo and Squad boards and on player pages.

Once your lineup is validated, its total never shows below the target. If a correction lowers a player's score afterward, your lineup keeps its validated total, so it can be higher than your players' current scores added up.

Club des 100

The same logic applies. If an eligible player reaches 100 after a score correction, before scores lock, you get the reward. If a later correction takes that player back below 100, you keep it.

Squad

Squad works a bit differently because it's a daily mode. Player scores in your Squad lineups update live, including score corrections.

Your Squad result is settled the next morning at 6:30AM UTC (7:30AM Paris time in winter, 8:30AM in summer). We use your players' scores at that moment, whether corrections have moved them up or down since the matches ended. That's also when you can claim your reward.

After that, your Squad result is final: a success stays a success and a failure stays a failure, even if a later correction changes a player's score.

Other Missions

Other Missions still use player scores as they stood 5 minutes after the final whistle. A correction made after that won't change the result of a mission, whether the score goes up or down.

Since player pages show live scores, the score counted for your mission can differ from the one you see on the player's page.
