POI Drop Zone Assignment error

Hello,
Since we are organizing small events for the Polish community, we received private match codes from the Apex EA Community Manager, along with instructions on how to use them.
The issue concerns assigning drop locations in ALGS mode.
We assign POIs according to the instructions, i.e., squad name + drop location, for example: ALGS @2.
After assigning drop spots to all squads, the system randomly places players, ignoring the assigned POIs. Has this issue already been reported to EA support, and is it being worked on, or does anyone have any information about it?

  • EA at its finest, am I right? And hey, a Polish community? First time hearing about this. I'm Polish myself so you'd think I'd know.

  • I'm trying to organize a tournament in ALGS mode, but the teams are landing in random spots, and the guide I received for setting up an ALGS-style game doesn’t seem to be working. Also, SlurrrpMeUpLuigi, if you're from Poland, feel free to check out the Twitch channel dywerspl — you'll find more info there, and it would be great if you joined us

  • Ty for the invitation but I can't speak Polish even if you paid me.

    Is the only issue that players are not landing in the designated spots? If so, then you just have to be removing/ banning people; I know it can be a little devastating for a smaller community but the rules have to be followed, and if you don't adhere to them, then there is not place for you. 

    To clarify, I am not telling you to remove people from your server, just remove them from the list for ALGS style games.

  • In ALGS mode, you have the option to assign a POI (e.g., squad name Dream + POI) like Dream @2. This means the plane should drop your team at the designated location on the map. However, when I set it up according to the rules, it doesn't work, and players are dropped randomly in other locations. The players have no control over this.

  • Ah, I see, so it's not up to the player, but up to the game system distribution itself. In this case, the only way is to file a complaint ticket to EA outlining that the given instructions are misleading and the game does not function the way it is intended to. 

    Also, it is worth giving it a shot and asking EA_Mako​ for possible solutions.
