1. To change the match settings, click on the book icon in the upper right corner of the screen.
2. This will open the match settings.
   • Here are the options you can change.
     • Game mode: There are 3 game modes.

       • 1 vs 1
       • Free for everyone
     • Ringouts: allows you to define the number of Ringouts after which a player is eliminated. Here are the options you get for this:
       • 1
       • 2
       • 3
       • 4
     • Time: time limit until the end of the match. You get the following options for it:
       • 2 minutes
       • 2.5 min.
       • 3 minutes
       • 5 minutes
       • 7 minutes
