Tournaments and Prizes

Our platform facilitates the organisation of tournaments and enables organisers to create and manage online video game competitions, while also helping gamers discover and join these tournaments. Each tournament may have unique parameters and rules, all of which are detailed on our website. These parameters include interactions and rankings among participants, communication guidelines, and the potential awarding of prizes, if applicable. By using our Services, you acknowledge and accept these additional parameters and consent to receive communications from the game developer or our Services' representatives. However, it is essential to note that we are not responsible for distributing or awarding prizes or rewards. The responsibility for awarding prizes lies with our Partner (Critical Force Ltd.). Despite offering assistance in prize administration, we do not hold any responsibility for determining eligibility or the actual distribution of prizes or rewards. Please be aware that we cannot guarantee that any tournament organiser, who hosts an event through our Services, will fulfill their commitment to distribute advertised or promised prizes or rewards. Participation in the Services comes with inherent risks, and you agree that MOBILE E-SPORTS® bears no responsibility for any tournament prizes advertised on our website. We maintain that the point of contact for all prizes is to be the captain of the team,(the Captain is known for that role as registered on our system) and any user of our Services understands that they entrust the Captain at their own risk when the Captain receives their prizes or rewards by the game developer, Critical Force Ltd.

TEAM OWNERSHIP

  • As the owner ("leader", "captain") of a team, you are responsible that your members follow our tournament rules.
  • If we see a team owner is unfit to lead a team, then we may remove the team owner from their position and transfer ownership to another member of the team.

This body is independent from MOBILE E-SPORTS®. By entering our tournaments, you acknowledge that MOBILE E-SPORTS® is not responsible for the decisions made by this group of individuals.
