Also, up to six slots will be assigned in priority to new teams. In RoboCup 2025, up to 24 teams will participate in the 3D Soccer Simulation Competition. The top three teams from RoboCup 2024 (FC Portugal, magmaOffenburg and Apollo3D) are automatically qualified after submitting an appropriate Team Description Paper (TDP). The other 21 teams will be selected through a qualification process. Qualification material consists of: 1. Team Description Paper (TDP) The TDP should describe your research focus and ideas implemented in the team. It should clearly describe your own work and your contributions in addition to explicitly specifying what you have used from others’ efforts (including, but not limited to, any source code released by other teams or their scientific work). In qualification, teams must be judged based on their own work, so failing to acknowledge the work of others could result in immediate disqualification. The length of the TDP must be at least four (4) pages and should not exceed twelve (12) pages in Springer LNCS Style. Please do not include TDPs that you submitted to RoboCup in previous years. Please submit the TDP only as a PDF document, with the name of your team in the filename, i.e. Teamname_TDP.pdf . 2. A List of Publications and Achievements on previous RoboCup Symposia and in other relevant international journals and conferences. Please also include your team’s achievements in RoboCup and related events of previous years. If you are new to the RoboCup 3D community, you may also include references to relevant research done by your team that shows its potential. Please submit the contribution list as a PDF document, with the name of your team in the filename, i.e. Teamname_list.pdf . 3. Binary All teams should submit a working binary of their team. The OC will use these binaries to play 11 vs 11 matches, under the rules and with the simulator used during the 2024 competitions. Submitted binaries should adhere to the following: – Two scripts should be included: a startup script, called start.sh, to run a full team of agents, and a kill script, called kill.sh, to fully kill all agents of the team. The requirements and examples of these scripts can be found on the rules page. – All necessary external libraries should be included and be used locally by the binary. The OC will not make an effort to install extra libraries on the qualification systems. A Java runtime can be assumed to be available. – The binaries should not create any output, be it through standard output or to files and no graphical (debugging) interface should be used. – The binary should be compiled for 64 bit systems and should work on a modern GNU/Linux distribution, such as Ubuntu 24.04. You may also send 32-bit binaries, but it is your responsibility to make sure that it runs correctly on 64-bit distributions. You can assume that basic 32-bit libraries (e.g. libc) are installed on the 64 bit OS. To summarize: the binary should run out of the box on a standard, clean, headless system in a restricted sandbox environment with the simulation server (possibly) running on a different machine. The OC will not try to fix errors. When a binary fails to run, the respective team will be notified and will have to resubmit their material, before the deadline. Please put all qualification material in a folder with your team name, create a tarball named teamname.tar.gz and upload it to the registration form. https://forms.gle/qgnLB1cpcJ2r7gLc9 You should upload only one file including all your qualification materials. If everything works fine, you will receive a confirmation. If you did not receive any confirmation within two (2) days, please contact the Organizing Committee. If you encounter any problem sending your qualification materials please don’t hesitate to contact the OC. Teams will be qualified based on the submitted materials as described in this CfP. The following general qualification limitations will also be considered: – One-Third-Rule: The so-called One-Third-Rule rule states that only up to 1/3 of the participants in a competition may be from the same country. – One-Team-Per-Institute-Rule: The One-Team-Per-Institute-Rule states that only one team from each university or research institute is allowed to participate in a competition. Note that it is okay for different teams from the same institute to participate in different competitions, e.g. 2D and 3D soccer. »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» 3D Soccer Simulation League Resources »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» https://ssim.robocup.org/ Resources with more information on 3D Simulation League and how to enter a new team using existing base codes.

A NEW team is defined as a team with a new name and all of whose team members have never participated in an annual international RoboCup competition. The waiver concerns only the team fee and does not imply any waiver of fees for team members. In addition, the 3D soccer simulation league will issue a certificate to the best NEW team in the 3D competition. »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» Qualification »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» Qualification is based on a team’s current performance, previous achievements in RoboCup, and scientific contributions in relevant areas in past years, cooperation in the 3D mailing list, and development of the simulator. Also, up to six slots will be assigned in priority to new teams. In RoboCup 2024, up to 24 teams will participate in the 3D Soccer Simulation Competition. The top three teams from RoboCup 2023 (FC Portugal, magmaOffenburg and UT Austin Villa) are automatically qualified after submitting an appropriate Team Description Paper (TDP). The other 21 teams will be selected through a qualification process. Qualification material consists of: 1. Team Description Paper (TDP) The TDP should describe your research focus and ideas implemented in the team. It should clearly describe your own work and your contributions in addition to explicitly specifying what you have used from others’ efforts (including, but not limited to, any source code released by other teams or their scientific work). In qualification, teams must be judged based on their own work, so failing to acknowledge the work of others could result in immediate disqualification. The length of the TDP must be at least four (4) pages and should not exceed twelve (12) pages in Springer LNCS Style. Please do not include TDPs that you submitted to RoboCup in previous years. Please submit the TDP only as a PDF document, with the name of your team in the filename, i.e. Teamname_TDP.pdf . 2. A List of Publications and Achievements on previous RoboCup Symposia and in other relevant international journals and conferences. Please also include your team’s achievements in RoboCup and related events of previous years. If you are new to the RoboCup 3D community, you may also include references to relevant research done by your team that shows its potential. Please submit the contribution list as a PDF document, with the name of your team in the filename, i.e. Teamname_list.pdf . 3. Binary All teams should submit a working binary of their team. The OC will use these binaries to play 11 vs 11 matches, under the rules and with the simulator used during the 2023 competitions. Submitted binaries should adhere to the following: – Two scripts should be included: a startup script, called start.sh, to run a full team of agents, and a kill script, called kill.sh, to fully kill all agents of the team. The requirements and examples of these scripts can be found on the rules page. – All necessary external libraries should be included and be used locally by the binary. The OC will not make an effort to install extra libraries on the qualification systems. A Java runtime can be assumed to be available. – The binaries should not create any output, be it through standard output or to files and no graphical (debugging) interface should be used. – The binary should be compiled for 64 bit systems and should work on a modern GNU/Linux distribution, such as Ubuntu 20.04. You may also send 32-bit binaries, but it is your responsibility to make sure that it runs correctly on 64-bit distributions. You can assume that basic 32-bit libraries (e.g. libc) are installed on the 64 bit OS. To summarize: the binary should run out of the box on a standard, clean, headless system in a restricted sandbox environment with the simulation server (possibly) running on a different machine. The OC will not try to fix errors. When a binary fails to run, the respective team will be notified and will have to resubmit their material, before the deadline. Please put all qualification material in a folder with your team name, create a tarball named teamname.tar.gz and upload it to the registration form. https://forms.gle/hyUUvmbAPZHamPPN8 You should upload only one file including all your qualification materials. If everything works fine, you will receive a confirmation. If you did not receive any confirmation within two (2) days, please contact the Organizing Committee. If you encounter any problem sending your qualification materials please don’t hesitate to contact the OC. Teams will be qualified based on the submitted materials as described in this CfP. The following general qualification limitations will also be considered: – One-Third-Rule: The so-called One-Third-Rule rule states that only up to 1/3 of the participants in a competition may be from the same country. – One-Team-Per-Institute-Rule: The One-Team-Per-Institute-Rule states that only one team from each university or research institute is allowed to participate in a competition. Note that it is okay for different teams from the same institute to participate in different competitions, e.g. 2D and 3D soccer. »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» 3D Soccer Simulation League Resources »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» https://ssim.robocup.org/ Resources with more information on 3D Simulation League and how to enter as new team using existing base codes.

Results of an Analysis of 2D Log Files of Recent Tournaments
by Prof. Dr. Thomas Gabel 16 May '23

16 May '23

Dear 2D Community! [Same text will be shared in Discord as well!] TL&DR; We analyzed the log files of major competitions during past years and found a degradation of the reliability of the hardware setup and its computational power provided to the teams. In particular, we observed that - starting in 2022 - many teams' players did frequently miss to send a command within 100ms. If you have any questions or remarks on this, please share them. Best regards, Thomas Gabel (on behalf of the FRA-UNIted team). =====FULL EXPLANATION===== ~~Assumptions~~ We assume that all teams do, in general, send at least one command to the soccer server each time step. By commands we refer to their (A) body-related commands (dash, kick, turn, catch, tackle) and their (B) other-parts-related commands (attentionto, turn_neck, say, change_view, pointto). It is standing to reason to assume that each player sends at least one of those commands to the server each time step. Moreover, most teams do indeed send one of the body-related commands (dash, kick, turn, catch, tackle) to the server each time step. ~~Definitions~~ If some agent does not send a command in one time step at all (neither from category (A) nor from category (B)), then usually something is wrong. In accordance to Ralf Berger from the first Soccer Simulation 2D Champion team ever (AT-Humboldt'97) we call this situation a HOLE. If some agent sends in one time step t more than one command, then usually something is very wrong (e.g. two dashes, or a dash and a turn). It usually means that this agent did not manage to send the first of the two commands within the 100ms of the previous time step t-1, i.e. it is being sent one step too late. Simultaneously, the agent sends the command of the current time step t. Thus, the server receives the command from the previous *and* the current time step in the same cycle. In accordance to Ralf Berger from the first Soccer Simulation 2D Champion team ever (AT-Humboldt'97) we call this situation a BLACK HOLE. ~~History~~ Holes and black holes are bad things for any agent. They used to be a big issue in the early days of soccer simulation 2D, when computational resources were scarce (e.g. the 12 processes of one team had to be run on just one or two single-core PC) as well as when the network connections needed for exchanging messages via UDP were not as reliable as they are today. While we believed that holes and black holes are a problem of another decade and they occur only very rarely or due to programming errors by some team nowadays, we observed their systematic return in competitions of the last and current year where, as far as we can tell, for the first times tournaments were run on 12 docker instances for each team and one for the rcssserver (in total 25 docker instances) entirely on one single machine (which, of course, is equipped with a sufficient amount of cores, e.g. 64 cores). ~~Methodology~~ We took the log files from the 2019, 2021 and 2022 world championships plus the very recent IranOpen 2023 tournament and analyzed the rcl files for the occurrence of holes and black holes. Our analysis tool and script are available on request. ~~Findings~~ In RoboCup 2019, there were no problems across all teams (with the exception of Ri-One which we think to be due to a team-internal problem). And a minor issue for YuShan2019 (with, however, less than 1 black hole in the course of two matches).

Each team must decide for itself whether this is intended, or acceptable, or bad behavior (so we assume that this large amount of holes is fine for the two team mentioned). Anyways, black holes are always most likely a bad thing for any team. If we count the total number of black holes for RoboCup 2021, we see that there was just a single black hole in the entire tournament (by HELIOS2021). Unfortunately, things changed in RoboCup 2022 where, for the first time, a docker-based environment was used. Unfortunately, the entirety of logs for that year can no longer be found on archive.robocup.info which is why our analysis focuses only on the fraction of logs that we downloaded during the tournament: Team Name, #matches, #holesTotal, #blackholesTotal, holesPerMatch, blackHolesPerMatch --------------------------------------------------------------------------- MT2022, 32, 52, 12, 1.625, 0.375 YuShan2022, 36, 416, 248, 11.555555, 6.888889 Alice2D, 32, 73671, 7, 2302.2188, 0.21875 ITAndroids, 34, 53, 6, 1.5588236, 0.1764706 Oxsy, 32, 70, 19, 2.1875, 0.59375 HELIOS2022, 31, 21, 12, 0.67741936, 0.38709676 RoboCIn, 34, 51, 16, 1.5, 0.47058824 Hfutengine2022, 38, 129, 56, 3.3947368, 1.4736842 Tehran2D, 36, 72, 18, 2.0, 0.5 CYRUS, 33, 51, 17, 1.5454545, 0.5151515 FRA-UNIted, 32, 161, 139, 5.03125, 4.34375 Hades2D, 32, 59, 7, 1.84375, 0.21875 The summed number of black wholes has been increased to 557 in the entire tournament - a number which is certainly far beyond anything that is acceptable. Apparently, all teams were affected where YuShan2022 was affected most with almost 7 black holes per game on average. As a safety check, we ran our analysis also on a big part of the log files produced by the recent IranOpen 2023 tournament which was also held in a docker-based environment with each agent/coach running in its own docker instance, all on the same single machine. Team Name, #matches, #holesTotal, #blackholesTotal, holesPerMatch, blackHolesPerMatch --------------------------------------------------------------------------- YuShan2023, 15, 63, 32, 4.2, 2.1333334 FRA-UNIted, 22, 113, 100, 5.1363635, 4.5454545 Mcafee, 8, 26, 4, 3.25, 0.5 Mrl, 14, 361, 289, 25.785715, 20.642857 The8, 20, 54, 13, 2.7, 0.65 Robo2D, 7, 242, 131, 34.57143, 18.714285 Pyrus, 14, 50, 23, 3.5714285, 1.6428572 Apollo2d, 9, 0, 0, 0.0, 0.0 RoboCIn, 15, 11, 0, 0.73333335, 0.0 ThunderLeague, 12, 11, 0, 0.9166667, 0.0 Zina-AI, 17, 44, 21, 2.5882354, 1.2352941 R3CESBU, 4, 22, 0, 5.5, 0.0 football-iauk, 9, 0, 0, 0.0, 0.0 EMPEROR, 7, 46, 14, 6.571429, 2.0 This time, some teams where affected even more severely, e.g. Mrl or Robo2D each with nearly 20 black holes per match on average. The negative impact on our own team was nearly the same in RoboCup 2022 and IranOpen 2023 with ca. 4.5 black holes per match. Of course, one might argue that the prevention of black holes is in the responsibility of each team itself. However, we strongly belief that the wide re-occurrence of black holes from 2022 onward points to some inherent problem with the way the simulation environment has been set up recently. As an additional safety check (for our team, FRA-UNIted, only), we also ran a large amount of matches with our team against various opponents on standard PCs (without docker or other virtualizations) using exactly the same version as we employed recently in the IranOpen 2023 tournament. We observed no black hole at all. ~~Details~~ Our analysis reveals that often the entire simulation seems to be "frozen" for one time step or for time steps that are near to one another. We can only speculate about the reasons; one such speculation would be that other docker environments (of another match that is running in parallel on the same machine) are initialized at match start-up/clean-up and this increases the overall system load for a few seconds. Please, see the detail analysis of the exemplary match between RoboC2 and YuShan2023 during the recent IranOpen 2023 tournament in which these teams were affected by 51 and 32 black holes, respectively. All these black holes occur between time steps 600 and 800. In some time steps many players are affected simultaneously (see below: Appendix). ~~Conclusion~~ The hardware, virtualization, and software setup for upcoming tournaments must be very critically questioned in order to allow for fair competitions. =====Appendix===== Detail analysis of one exemplary match from IranOpen 2023: Program arguments: ./GGHv1WP_server1_Robo2D_1-vs-YuShan2023_4.rcl I

RC-HL 2022: Invitation to participate at Humanoid League Satellite Event
by Alessandra Rossi 06 Jul '22

06 Jul '22

Dear RoboCuppers, The Humanoid League is organising the event "Open Humanoid Competition" as part of the Symposium Satellite Events on 14 July 2022, 19:00-21:00 (local time) Bangkok, Thailand. This satellite event is meant to be a discussion group during which we will foster discussions between members of different Leagues, trustees, members of the Technical and Organising Committees to tackle some fundamental requirements to facilitate new teams to join or participate in the games of the Humanoid League. Best regards, Alessandra on behalf of the Humanoid League TCs *Abstract*: "Since the Humanoid League's first games in 2002, the competitions progressively developed its scientific challenges to successfully meet the goal of RoboCup to play against the human world soccer champion in 2050. Such increasing scientific difficulties have been catching the attention and interest of researchers, but, at the same time, make it prohibitive for new and, in consequence, often less experienced teams to join the Humanoid League. The main difficulties faced by new teams are related both to the cost of taller robots, and the challenges of developing hardware and software for such taller robots. We also expect that such costs for research, components and equipment for one or a full team of humanoid robots may soon become inapproachable for new teams. For these reasons, in this satellite event for the 25th RoboCup International Symposium, we want to focus on addressing the challenges and development of the creation an initial process or a sub-event to the Humanoid League main competition that can ease the path for new teams and to guide them towards a final full participation. To this extent, we will foster discussions between members of different Leagues, trustees, members of the Technical and Organising Committees to tackle some fundamental requirements to facilitate new teams to join the Humanoid League." *Website*: https://humanoid.robocup.org/hl-2022/satellite-event/ -- Dr. Alessandra Rossi Assistant Professor PRISCA research lab University of Naples Federico II, Naples, Italy Visiting Researcher Fellow of the Higher Education Academy Adaptive Systems Research Group University of Hertfordshire, United Kingdom

α-Release of ROS2 RCSS3D Agent from ROS Sports
by Kenji Brameld 03 Feb '22

03 Feb '22

Hi 3D Soccer Simulation Teams, This is Kenji from ROS Sports, we are pleased to announce that a ROS2 agent interface to the RoboCup 3D Soccer Simulator <https://rcss3d-agent.readthedocs.io/en/latest/> is now in an alpha release stage! [image: :partying_face:] The motivation behind the ROS2 interface for the Rcss3d Agent is to ease the entry-barrier for the 3d simulation league, and allow the simulator to be reused for other leagues in RoboCup. GIFs are worth a thousand words. It's this easy to interact with an agent in the simulator! [image: image.png] *Sending velocity commands to the head joints* [image: image.png] *Reading the Force Sensors on the feet and the Accelerometer* The rcss3d_agent <https://github.com/ros-sports/rcss3d_agent> package provides: - A general ROS2 library that handles the network connection and parsing/packing of data into the format that the simulator understands (s-expressions) - A basic node that provides a ROS2 pub/sub interface to the library For 3D simulation teams, the basic node is probably all you need. Teams from other leagues such as the humanoid league or SPL, can use the general library to implement their own pub/sub layer to convert the simulator-specific msgs to their own msgs of choice. *Why should you use this package *over continuing to use your own implementation? - *Reduce codebase size and maintenance cost**. Who doesn't like reducing the maintenance cost of their codebase?* - *Encourages contributions to outside the 3d simulation league domain. ** For example, why can't an inverse kinematics library developed in 3d-sim be reused in all Nao applications?* We are actively looking for teams to work with and test out the packages. Please let us know if your team may be interested in working together. Thanks, Kenji Brameld (ijnek)

Research Project Learning Setplays from Demonstration - Call for Contributions
by Marco Simões 20 Jan '22

20 Jan '22

Hi, We have been working in the last years on a project in our lab named "Learning Setplays from Demonstration." The main goal of this project is to provide evidence that we can catch human's intuitive knowledge in a domain and use it to feed a massive dataset for robots to learn how to cooperate to solve problems in this domain. At this time, we are gathering contributions worldwide to populate the dataset. So we ask your contribution in the following way: 1- Watch some robot soccer games 2- Locate situations where you think you can demonstrate a setplay for a team to perform better in that situation 3-Create your demonstration 4- Send us several demonstrations To turn it easier for you, we have developed the BahiaRT's Learning Setplays from Demonstration Toolkit that encapsulates in Docker containers all tools you need to watch games and create setplays demonstrations. The following links contain all information you need: - The BahiaRT's Learning Setplays from Demonstration Toolkit - https://bitbucket.org/bahiart3d/setplaysdataset/src/master/ - Setup instructions: https://bitbucket.org/bahiart3d/setplaysdataset/src/master/README.md - Usage instructions: https://bitbucket.org/bahiart3d/setplaysdataset/src/master/USAGE.md - Video tutorial: https://youtu.be/h_s8rA2IS88 At the end of this project, we will provide: 1- A public massive setplays dataset organized using our fuzzy clustering strategy ready to be used for any soccer team (not only 3D simulation teams) 2- Source code of the dataset organizer and the deep reinforcement learning engine used for teams training. 3- Results published (Ph.D. thesis and several papers). You can see some earlier publications of this project at the end of this message. We appreciate your contribution. Anyone who enjoys soccer can contribute. You do not need any experience with robot soccer or 3D Soccer Simulation. I hope you have fun and send us several setplays demonstrations in the following weeks.

The OC will use these binaries to play 11 vs 11 matches, under the rules and with the simulator used during the 2021 competitions <https://ssim.robocup.org/3d-simulation/3d-rules/>. Submitted binaries should adhere to the following: – Two scripts should be included: a startup script, called start.sh, to run a full team of agents, and a kill script, called kill.sh, to fully kill all agents of the team. The requirements and examples of these scripts can be found on the rules page <https://ssim.robocup.org/3d-simulation/3d-rules/>. – All necessary external libraries should be included and be used locally by the binary. The OC will not make an effort to install extra libraries on the qualification systems. A Java runtime can be assumed to be available. – The binaries should not create any output, be it through standard output or to files and no graphical (debugging) interface should be used. – The binary should be compiled for 64 bit systems and should work on a modern GNU/Linux distribution, such as Ubuntu 18.04. You may also send 32-bit binaries, but it is your responsibility to make sure that it runs correctly on 64-bit distributions. You can assume that basic 32-bit libraries (e.g. libc) are installed on the 64 bit OS. To summarize: the binary should run out of the box on a standard, clean, headless system in a restricted sandbox environment with the simulation server (possibly) running on a different machine. The OC will not try to fix errors. When a binary fails to run, the respective team will be notified and will have to resubmit their material, before the deadline. Please put all qualification material in a folder with your team name, create a tarball named teamname.tar.gz and upload it to the registration form <https://forms.gle/2Yonrwyjjig9H3pi7>. You should upload only one file including all your qualification materials. If everything works fine, you will receive a confirmation. If you did not receive any confirmation within two (2) days, please contact the Organizing Committee <https://ssim.robocup.org/3d-simulation/3d-committees#OC>. If you encounter any problem sending your qualification materials please don’t hesitate to contact the OC <https://ssim.robocup.org/3d-simulation/3d-committees#OC>. Teams will be qualified based on the submitted materials as described in this CfP. The following general qualification limitations will also be considered: – One-Third-Rule: The so-called One-Third-Rule rule states that only up to 1/3 of the participants in a competition may be from the same country. – One-Team-Per-Institute-Rule: The One-Team-Per-Institute-Rule states that only one team from each university or research institute is allowed to participate in a competition. Note that it is okay for different teams from the same institute to participate in different competitions, e.g. 2D and 3D soccer. »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» 3D Soccer Simulation League Resources »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» Important resources with more information on 3D Simulation League are: – <https://archive.robocup.info/Soccer/Simulation/3D/>Tutorials for Newcomers <https://ssim.robocup.org/3d-simulation/3d-tools/> – RoboCup Competitions archive <https://archive.robocup.info/Soccer/Simulation/3D/> (TDPs, binaries, logs, and replays) – Watch the 2021 Final in your browser!!! <https://archive.robocup.info/Soccer/Simulation/3D/replays/RoboCup/2021/Elim…> – 3D Main Simulator <https://gitlab.com/robocup-sim/SimSpark/-/releases> – Prebuilt binaries from OpenSUSE build service for openSUSE and Ubuntu <https://software.opensuse.org//download.html?project=science%3ASimSpark&pac…> – 3D Viewer <https://github.com/magmaOffenburg/RoboViz> – 3D agent source code releases <https://ssim.robocup.org/3d-simulation/3d-tools/#basecodes> (includes several champion teams) (These source codes include Omni-directional walks, getup behaviors, kick motions, and interface to SimSpark/Gazebo simulator) Best Regards, RoboCup 2022 3D Soccer Simulation Organizing Committee -- Marco Antonio Costa Simões Nucleo de Arquitetura de Computadores e Sistemas Operacionais - ACSO - http://www.acso.uneb.br Bahia Robotics Team - http://www.acso.uneb.br/bahiart Departamento de Ciências Exatas e da Terra - Campus I Universidade do Estado da Bahia - UNEB Mestre em Ciência da Computação - UFPE

Question about the env of SimSpark
by 莲华 17 Nov '21

17 Nov '21

I'm a beginner of the RoboCup3D from China and just now change the enviroment to Ubuntu20.04 from Ubuntu18.04. I'd like to wonder the differences between qt4 and qt5 and other simpark changes will effect the simulation effect or not. Will this bring some troubles to the game simulation? Or will it be a bit different in the official competitions? I will appreciate it if you can give me answer! (The above contain translations from machine translator)
