A player must start a game for their projection to be scored. If a player does not start a game, their projection will void. If a match does not play the entirety of 90 mins, due to abandonment, suspensions, or other reasons, all projections from the game will void.
If a player plays one second in the second half of a game, their 2H projections will grade. Extra time is not included in 2H grading. If a player plays in the first half, but does not play in the second half, their 2H projections will void.
If a player is posted on the incorrect team, his projections associated with the incorrect team will void.
When a tournament match plays extra time, stats accumulated in extra time will be counted toward a player's scoring.
Penalty kicks taken as part of a shootout following extra time do not count towards a player's shot, shot on target, or goal total.
