WHEN A RULE LOOKS DIFFERENT
Check the change against your match
- 01
Open the current rule panel
Use the match or contest you plan to enter, rather than an old screenshot.
- 02
Check the date and scope
Look for a notice that identifies the affected match, scoring category or contest.
- 03
Review your team
Recheck any player, Captain or Vice-Captain choice affected by the current conditions.
- 04
Confirm the deadline
Make any permitted edits before the lock time and reopen your saved team to confirm it.
- 05
Ask about unclear details
Use RS9 support with the match name, contest reference and the rule you need explained.
CHECK THE CURRENT DETAILS
Keep announcements and contest rules together
An older post or screenshot may describe a previous contest. Compare its date and match details with the contest open on your screen.
A change to this guide, its layout or wording does not by itself change RS9 scoring. The current rule panel and selected contest terms take priority.
UPDATES FAQ
Common questions
Does every page update mean RS9 changed a rule?+
No. A guide can become clearer without a product rule changing. Check the current RS9 rule panel for your match.
Where can I check exact scoring changes?+
Open the scoring panel and any update notice for your selected match in RS9. Check the affected category and when the change applies.
Can I use an old screenshot?+
Use it only to compare what you previously saw. Confirm the current values and conditions in RS9 before making a decision.
