1. INTRODUCTION

The TEKKEN World Tour competitions (the “League”) are brought to you by Twitch Interactive, Inc. (“Twitch”). The League is comprised of competitive esports gaming tournaments, featuring TEKKEN 7 (the “Title Game”), developed by Bandai Namco Studios (“Bandai Namco”) and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment (“BNE”).

As set forth more fully in Section 3, entitled “League Format”, the League consists of certain “Tournaments” (as defined below) where Players compete to win Points and such Points are tracked on a Leaderboard to determine the rankings of Players in the League. The nineteen (19) highest-ranked Players from the Leaderboard will be invited to participate in the year-end TEKKEN World Tour Finals alongside the winner of the Last Chance Qualifier.

These Official League Rules (“Official Rules”) govern the League. The Official Rules are in addition to the rules that govern how the Title Game is played (the “Game Play Rules”). The Game Play Rules are set forth in Section 8, entitled “Game Play Rules”.

Each person who participates in a Tournament in the League is referred to as a “Player”. If the Player is under the age of majority in his or her state or country of residence (a “Minor”), such Minor Player represents and warrants that he or she has received permission from his or her parent or legal guardian to register for and participate in the League, and all references to “Player” shall include that Minor Player’s parent or legal guardian. Each Player unconditionally accepts and agrees to comply with and abide by these Official Rules and the decisions that Twitch and the other “League Entities” (as defined below) make about the League, including without limitation decisions about how to interpret or implement these Official Rules and administer the League, and such decisions shall be final and binding in all respects and not subject to challenge or appeal. Any aspects of the League or incidents that affect the League that are not outlined in these Official Rules may be addressed and resolved by Twitch and the other League Entities at the time of the incident and their decisions on such matters shall be final and binding and not subject to challenge or appeal.

These Official Rules are subject to change, as determined by Twitch in its sole discretion. The most recent version of these Official Rules will be posted on http://tekkenworldtour.com (the “League Website”), and Twitch may also use other means to communicate with those Players who have registered for the League using the contact information associated with their account or provided during registration. If a change would affect a Player’s place or standing in the League if they were applied retroactively, that change will be applied only prospectively unless Twitch determines in its sole discretion that such changes must be applied retroactively for legal or other reasons. Entry into the League does not constitute entry into any other tournament, competition, contest or sweepstakes.

These Official Rules were drafted in English, but may be translated into other languages. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between any translated version of these Official Rules and the English version of these Official Rules, the English version shall prevail, govern and control…
