Request and review force wins or fair sims
Submit a matchup ruling request, review its status, and list approved force-win recipients.
Request a ruling
Use the request buttons on the live matchup card. Choose the appropriate force-win or fair-sim request and provide the required reason. A submitted request is pending until staff reviews it; it is not approval to claim a win.
Staff should review both participants, the saved availability/proposals, and the evidence before deciding. A later dispute or overturned decision changes the effective ruling. Use the current review card rather than an old screenshot.
/force-wins/force-wins all-weeks:trueRead the approved force-win list
/force-wins is a staff report. It lists approved force-win recipients and matchups with HOME/AWAY labels. It defaults to the active week; use week, season, all-weeks, and page options for historical or longer reports.
A requester's team may be unknown or ambiguous after ownership changes; read the report's explicit status rather than guessing the recipient from current ownership. Fair sims are not force-win recipients. Tentative decisions, imported finals, and disputes remain distinct in the report.
Apply the outcome in Madden
A FranchiseOS ruling records league approval. Staff must handle the actual Madden result through the game's commissioner workflow, then refresh. Confirm the imported outcome before considering downstream rewards or readiness final.
