How a lounge match works
- 1
Choose a lounge
Post or accept a challenge with Local Lounge as the venue and pick the lounge you'll meet at.
- 2
Check in
At the lounge, check in with your opponent's username on the lounge page. You'll get a short code.
- 3
Play and show your code
Play the match, then show your code to the lounge referee so they can verify your check-in.
- 4
Report the score
Both players report the final score with proof on the match page, just like an online match.
Referees build your Trust Score
Each match a referee verifies adds 0.1 to your Trust Score. A flagged match takes away 0.5. Your Trust Score shows on your player card, where scouts and opponents can see it.
Playing online instead?
Online matches don't need a check-in. Both players just report the score with a screenshot.
Own a gaming lounge?
