Double (dobro) and tiebreaker (desempate) continue the same match and raise the amount at stake. The loser can try to win back the entry without opening a new match.

What each stage is worth

Example of a match with a R$ 3.00 entry and a R$ 0.50 fee:

  • Regular match: each side pays R$ 3.50 and the winner gets R$ 6.00.

  • Double: whoever asked pays another R$ 3.50 and the prize goes up to R$ 9.00.

  • Tiebreaker: whoever lost the double pays another R$ 3.50 and the prize goes up to R$ 12.00.

The fee is charged on each payment and is not part of the prize.

How to ask for a double

  1. 1

    Your opponent declares a win

    In the win message, click Dobro (Double) within the 3 minutes.

  2. 2

    They have 3 minutes to respond

    They can click Aceitar dobro (Accept double) or Recusar dobro (Refuse double).

  3. 3

    Whoever asked pays within 5 minutes

    The instructions arrive by direct message. Without payment in time, the win goes to the opponent.

  4. 4

    Play the double

    When it's over, the winner clicks Declarar vitória dobro (Declare double win).

Double request: only the player who declared the win can respond.
Once the payment is confirmed, the double begins.

How the tiebreaker works

If the player who asked for the double wins, each side has one win, and the match can go to a tiebreaker.

  1. 1

    Both leaders respond

    Each one clicks Aceitar desempate (Accept tiebreaker) or Recusar desempate (Refuse tiebreaker) within the time shown.

  2. 2

    Whoever lost the double pays

    The deadline is 5 minutes, and the instructions arrive by direct message.

  3. 3

    Play the rematch

    The next accepted win ends the match.
