Additional prizes disclosures

• The cash prizes will be provided via Visa Gift Cards to the top four finalists.
• By the time or after the tournament starts, additional prizes to the top four finalists may be added. If that is the case, this sign-up will be updated accordingly and student gamers that have already signed-up will receive an email from Brag House with an update.

Brag Bucks (“BB”)

• BB are Brag House’s non-monetary in-app currency that, among multiple functionalities, allows you to engage with Brags (game-stat predictions) to win bragging rights, non-crypto tokens and other cool prizes!

Conduct

• Good sportsmanship is important. Please prioritize showing respect towards your opponents in all situations.
• Profanity, hate speech, or any other highly inappropriate actions directed at anyone within the Brag House community will result in a ban.
• Showing up for games is extremely important and ensures that everyone has a positive experience. Failure to show up for your matches will result in a “0-3 goals” forfeit.
• Brag House reserves the right to change, add, or modify these policies as they deem appropriate

Forfeits

• Gamers may not voluntarily forfeit a Match without prior authorization from Tournament Administrators. Gamers that forfeit without a notice or forfeit with too short of a notice will be subject to possible consequences such as a temporary pause from participating in future tournaments and/or featuring their stream on the Brag House app.

Disconnections

Generally speaking, disconnections are handled as follows:

• If players disconnect before a match starts or as the game is loading in, we will remake the match.
• If players disconnect during a match, play continues. The disconnected player may attempt to rejoin the match.
• If the entire match crashes at any point in the game, we will restart the match.
• Up to 5 minutes is given between matches for gamers to fix technical issues. If no solution is found within 5 minutes, their opponent may give them additional time to resolve the issue upon their approval.
• Brag House to test this. We may want to suggest pausing the match for 1-2 minutes and give the student gamer a chance to reconnect. If cannot, match likely needs to result in a default 0-3 lost to the disconnected student gamer per the other rule in “Conduct”

Sportsmanship Clause:

We strongly encourage you to communicate with us regarding technical issues. Brag House reserves the right to review situations with technical issues and request that the match be rescheduled/replayed if it appears that one or both parties is attempting to force a Loss on their opponent.

Cheating:

Cheating is explicitly prohibited and can be defined as any of the following:

• Using any mods or modifying your game in a way that either violates the Game Developers’ terms of service or gives the gamer a competitive advantage.
• Intentionally using/abusing in-game bugs
• Having a gamer of a higher skill level play on your behalf on your account
• If you are found to be cheating at any point, you will be removed from the Tournament and potentially banned from future events.
