How does Primes prevent cheating?
Competitive integrity is a top priority at GGL. We use a combination of automated verification, manual gameplay review, community reporting, and additional verification methods when necessary to help ensure competitions remain fair.
Players found violating tournament or competitive integrity rules may face penalties ranging from tournament disqualification to temporary or permanent account suspension, depending on the severity and intent of the violation.
Appeals: When an account action is eligible for appeal, players have 14 days from the date of the decision to submit supporting evidence for review. Appeals are evaluated by GGL staff based on the information and evidence provided, and submitting an appeal does not guarantee that an account action will be overturned.
Certain violations may not be eligible for appeal based on their severity, intent, or the nature of the offense. If an action is not appealable, this will be communicated to the player as part of the enforcement decision.
Appeals are typically handled through the Official GGL Discord Server, where a GGL staff member will communicate with you throughout the review process.
How do I report a player or suspected rules violation?
If you believe a player may be cheating or violating GGL Primes rules, you can report them directly through GGL Primes or contact GGL staff through the Official GGL Discord Server (recommended).
When submitting a report, provide as much relevant information and evidence as possible, including the player’s username, tournament or event, gameplay clips, screenshots, or any other supporting details. This helps our team review the situation thoroughly and fairly.
Please keep reports and cheating accusations private. Public accusations, callouts, or speculation can interfere with the review process and create unnecessary conflict within the community.
All reports are reviewed based on the available evidence and applicable GGL Primes rules. Submitting a report does not guarantee that action will be taken against another player.
Where can I get help if I have an issue?
If you need help with your GGL Primes account, a tournament, prize, submission, or another issue, we recommend reaching out to GGL staff through the Official GGL Discord Server. Our team can help answer questions, troubleshoot issues, and direct you to the right person when needed.
You can also submit a support ticket directly through GGL Primes with details about the issue you’re experiencing.
When contacting support, please provide as much relevant information as possible, including your Primes username, the tournament or event involved, screenshots, and any other details that may help our team resolve your issue.
For time-sensitive tournament issues, we recommend contacting GGL staff through Discord as soon as possible.
Can I have multiple accounts?
No. Each player is limited to one GGL Primes account.
Maintaining a single account helps protect competitive integrity by ensuring that tournament results, Skill Rating (SR), rankings, and player history accurately represent the individual competing.
Your Primes account is also tied to your competitive identity within GGL. Using multiple accounts, account sharing, or competing under another player’s account may impact your tournament eligibility, rankings, and eligibility to be drafted to a celebrity-owned Major League team.
Players are responsible for ensuring that all gameplay and submissions associated with their account are their own and comply with official GGL Primes rules.
Do I need to be a professional player to compete?
Not at all! GGL Primes is built for everyone, from casual players looking to have fun to highly competitive players looking to prove themselves.
There’s no professional experience required to enter. With tournaments across different games, formats, and skill levels, there are plenty of opportunities to compete, earn rewards, and climb the ranks. Beyond gameplay, we also offer events designed to showcase other skills and talents, including video editing, casting, music, art, and more.
And if you do have your sights set on something bigger, GGL Primes gives you a path to prove yourself through competition: Build your Skill Rating (SR), climb the leaderboard, and potentially become eligible for the GGL DRFT and a spot on a Celebrity-Owned Major League team.
Whether you’re here to have fun, win prizes, or chase the path to pro, there’s a place for you here at GGL.

How are winners determined?
Winners are determined based on the specific rules and objectives of each tournament. Depending on the event, this could mean earning the highest score, securing the most eliminations, posting the fastest time, advancing through a bracket, completing a specific challenge, or being selected through a judged submission.
For creative competitions, submissions may be evaluated using event-specific criteria such as creativity, originality, execution, or overall presentation.
Always read the Rules tab carefully on each tournament page before competing. Each tournament may have different objectives, submission requirements, deadlines, tie-breaking procedures, and eligibility requirements. Following the event rules is essential for your submission to be considered valid!
Once an event ends, GGL staff reviews submissions and results before winners are finalized to help ensure all entries meet the tournament requirements.
Winners are announced on the GGL Primes website, as well as in the Official GGL Discord Server.
How do I know if I won, and where are the winners announced?
Once tournament results have been reviewed and finalized, you’ll receive a notification directly through GGL Primes. You can find your notifications in the top-right corner of the Primes website on desktop, and through the sidebar menu on mobile.
Tournament winners are also announced in the Official GGL Discord Server as well, so be sure to join the Discord and keep an eye on tournament announcements.
If you’ve won a prize, follow any instructions provided in your notification or by GGL staff to claim your winnings.
How and when do I receive my rewards?
Once tournament results have been reviewed and finalized, winners must reach out to GGL staff through the Official GGL Discord Server to claim their prize.
After contacting the team, a staff member will walk you through any information or verification needed to process your reward. Prize delivery times may vary depending on the type of reward, such as cash prizes, game keys, merchandise, or physical items.
Be sure to claim your prize promptly and follow any instructions provided by GGL staff to avoid delays.
What happens if I enter my information incorrectly when claiming a prize?
Make sure all information submitted when claiming your prize is complete and accurate. Incorrect or unverifiable information may delay prize fulfillment or prevent us from successfully delivering your reward.

If the required information cannot be verified or corrected, you may be unable to receive your prize.
Skill Rating (SR) and Global Points (GP)
What is Skill Rating (SR)?
Skill Rating (SR) is GGL Primes’ competitive ranking system. SR reflects your performance in eligible tournaments and determines your position on the Primes leaderboard.
Players can earn SR by competing and performing in SR-eligible tournaments, with the amount of SR available determined by the specific event and its rules. As your SR changes, so does your position on the leaderboard.
During DRFT SZN, your SR is especially important. Players compete to climb the rankings and establish their position ahead of the GGL DRFT, where eligible players may have the opportunity to be drafted to a celebrity-owned Major League team.
Not every Primes event awards SR, so always check the tournament details to see whether SR is available and how it will be awarded.
What are Global Points (GP) and what can I use them for?
Global Points (GP) are GGL Primes's platform currency, earned through participating in eligible tournaments, events, and other activities across Primes.
Currently, GP can be used to enter select tournaments and events that require a GP entry fee. Not every event requires GP, and any entry cost will be clearly listed on the event page if that's the case.
As Primes continues to grow, additional ways to use GP are planned, including opportunities to redeem points for rewards, merchandise, exclusive experiences, and more.
Your GP stays with your account until you choose to spend it, so you can save it up for future events and opportunities.
When does my SR Reset?
Skill Rating (SR) resets at the beginning of each new DRFT SZN, giving all players a fresh opportunity to compete, climb the leaderboard, and earn their place in the next GGL DRFT.
When a DRFT SZN closes, SR is locked. Players can no longer gain or lose SR, and the final leaderboard standings for that DRFT SZN are set until our celebrity-owned Major League teams make their DRFT selections.
Primes doesn’t stop when DRFT SZN ends! Tournaments and events will continue as normal leading up to the official live DRFT, with opportunities to compete for Global Points (GP), cash prizes, rewards, and more. These events simply will not impact your locked SR or final DRFT SZN ranking.
When the next DRFT SZN begins, SR resets and the race to the next GGL DRFT starts again.
What is DRFT SZN?
DRFT SZN is the competitive period where GGL Primes players compete to earn Skill Rating (SR), climb the leaderboard, and pave their way to a spot in the GGL DRFT.
Throughout DRFT SZN, players can participate in SR-eligible tournaments across a variety of games and formats. Your performance contributes to your SR and leaderboard position, with the goal of finishing among the Top 100 eligible players by the end of the SZN.
When DRFT SZN closes, SR is locked and the final leaderboard standings are set. The Top 100 eligible players will move forward for consideration in the GGL DRFT, where they may have the opportunity to be drafted to one of GGL’s celebrity-owned Major League teams.
DRFT SZN returns each SZN, giving players a fresh opportunity to compete, climb the ranks, and pursue their path to pro.
For further information during DRFT SZN, you may visit the DRFT SZN landing page, which can be found via the main menu navigation panel during each DRFT SZN.
How do I get Drafted to a Celebrity-Owned Major League team?
To be considered for any GGL DRFT, players must compete throughout DRFT SZN, earn Skill Rating (SR), and climb the GGL Primes leaderboard.
At the end of each DRFT SZN, the Top 100 players (ranked by SR) will move forward for consideration in the GGL DRFT. From there, players will have the opportunity to be drafted to one of GGL’s Celebrity-Owned Major League teams.
Reaching the Top 100 does not guarantee that you will be drafted. Players must remain eligible and in good standing throughout the process, including following all GGL Primes tournament and competitive integrity rules. Other factors that tie into DRFT selection include, but are not limited to:
- SR Ranking
- Game Skill and overall knowledge
- Personality
- Other team-specific factors
Your SR gets you into the conversation. What you do from there can get you drafted.
Every tournament matters! Compete, earn SR, climb the leaderboard, and make your case for the GGL DRFT.
