  • Employees of Wildlife Studios or Trident8 Limited (“Tournament Parties”) and employees of the Tournament Parties’ respective parent companies, affiliates, subsidiaries, advertising, promotion and fulfillment agencies and sponsors and all their respective immediate family members and persons living in their same household,
  • Persons connected with the production or administration of the Tournament and their immediate family members and persons living in their same household.

3.TOURNAMENT OVERVIEW AND STRUCTURE

The Tournament will take place from the Start Time to September 28, 2020, 5:30 pm UTC. Tennis Clash players who enter the Tournament will need to access and use the “Tournament Platform”, which will be on the Tennis Clash App (“App”) which is owned and operated by Wildlife Studios. Tennis Clash players are solely responsible for any costs they may incur in accessing the App.  Use of the Tournament Platform is subject to the Wildlife Terms of Service.

 

a.Non-Tournament features for new players:

i.Non-Tournament Leagues:

 

For newcomers to Tennis Clash, in non-Tournament play, all Tennis Clash players are inserted into a “Tennis Clash League”, as part of their Game Account, which is automatically created during the Tennis Clash player’s onboarding, that happens right after the Tennis Clash player downloads and initiates the App. As Tennis Clash players compete in their Tennis Clash League, they are eligible to acquire Tennis Clash Coins. Once Tennis Clash players receive a certain amount of Tennis Clash Coins, Wildlife Studios will advance those Tennis Players to an increasingly advanced Tennis Clash League. Such advancements are announced by Wildlife Studios on a weekly basis. Tennis Clash players who fall below a certain threshold of Tennis Clash Coins may also be relegated to a lower Tennis Clash League.    

 

ii.Tennis Clash Coins:

 

Tennis Clash in-game coins (“Tennis Clash Coins”) are promotional in-game features that have no real-world value and may not be redeemed or exchanged for cash or any other item of value. Tennis Clash Coins are acquired through playing Tennis Clash in non-Tournament play. There are four (4) ways to obtain Tennis Clash Coins as part of non-Tournament play: 

  • win ranked matches while playing Tennis Clash;
  • open in-game bags while playing Tennis Clash;
  • watch video advertisements within the App;
  • purchase Tennis Clash Coins with Tennis Clash Gems in the App.

iii.Tennis Clash Gems:

Tennis Clash Gems are promotional in-game features that can be obtained in two ways:

  • open in-game bags while playing Tennis Clash;
  • purchase them in the in-App store with real money.

Tennis Clash Gems may not be exchanged for cash or any other item of value.

iv.    Tennis Clash Cards:

 

Each Tennis Clash player collects Tennis Clash Cards of character, racket, grip, shoe, wristband, nutrition and workout, through opening Tennis Clash Bags or getting them with Tennis Clash Gems in the in-App store. Each of these cards has a skill level which can be upgraded, increasing how much they affect a player’s Tennis Clash “Attributes” – forehand, backhand, volley, serve, agility and stamina.

 

b.Tournament Entry

The Tournament has no entry fee.  Instead,  Tennis Clash Coins are required to participate in the Tournament. 

 

c.Tournament Goal.

 

Tennis Clash players will compete to accumulate points and win prizes in accordance with these Official  Rules.

d.Tournament Level Placements.

The Tournament consists of four independent levels (each a “Tournament Level”).  Tennis Clash players who are in one of the Tennis Clash Leagues identified below on the Start Time and who enter the Tournament will be assigned to a Tournament Level based on the highest Tennis Clash League level they have achieved during non-Tournament play prior to the Start Time. The number of Tennis Clash Coins required for entry, will vary depending on the Tournament Level in which the Tennis Clash player is placed.

  1. Tournament Rounds.

Each Tournament Level will have three (3) “Tournament Rounds.” Tournament Rounds are played sequentially in the following order:

  • Qualifying Round I;
  • Qualifying Round II; and
  • Final Round.

Tennis Clash players compete in up to ten (10) Tournament Matches in in each of Qualifying Round I and Qualifying Round II, and up to twenty (20) Tournament Matches in the Final Round (each, the “Initial Number of Matches”), subject to playing additional Tournament Matches using Tennis Clash Gems as discussed below.

Each “Tournament Match” will be a single instance of competition where two (2) Tennis Clash players compete against one another until one of the two (2) Tennis Clash players achieves ten (10) points by a two point margin or there is a forfeiture, disqualification or disconnect  of the other Tennis Clash player as provided in these Official Rules.

4.TOURNAMENT FORMAT

a.Tournament Level Assignments

Tennis Clash players will be assigned to the following Tournament Levels based on the highest Tennis Clash League they have achieved in non-Tournament Tennis Clash play. Tennis Clash players will also need to have the minimum number of the Tennis Clash Coins per Tournament Match.

b.     Tennis Clash Player Skill Levels

To assure competitive fairness across each Tournament Level, there is  a maximum skill level allowed for the use of Tennis Clash Cards (“Cap“). Tennis Clash Cards which have a higher skill level than the Tournament Level’s Cap will have their skill level reduced to the Tournament Level’s Cap during the Tournament Matches only. Each Tournament Level’s Cap is shown in the chart below.

c.Outcome of Tournament Matches

For each Tournament Match, Tennis Clash players will receive a certain amount of Tennis Clash Coins when they win the Tournament Match described in the chart below. Tennis Clash players win by achieving ten (10) points in a Tennis Clash match first with a two point margin. Tennis Clash players total score for a Tournament Round is based on the amount of Tennis Clash points they earn in each Tournament Match during such Round.  The Tennis Clash player who wins the Tournament Match will always earn 10 points, and the Tennis Clash player who loses the Tournament Match will earn from 0 to 9 points.

d.Additional Tournament Matches.

Tennis Clash players are eligible to improve their results by playing additional Tournament Matches in any Round after they have completed the Initial Number of Matches for that Round. To do so, the Tennis Clash players can use Tennis Clash Gems to play extra Tournament Matches. The amount of Tennis Clash Gems needed for the first additional Tournament Match of each Round is fixed for each Tournament Level as provided below. For any subsequent additional Tournament Matches in that Round, Tennis Clash players will need to use four (4) times the last additional Tournament Match Tennis Clash Gem amount they have used. The results for any additional Tournament Matches played in any Round will replace the results of the worst of the Initial Number of Matches for that Round if it will improve the overall result. Wildlife Studios may, in its sole discretion, may restrict any Tennis Clash player from replacing their Tournament Match results or from playing additional Tournament Matches in a given Round.

e.Scoring Tournaments Rounds and Brackets

Qualifying Round I

 

The first Tournament Round, Qualifying Round I, will last 36 hours – from September 24, 2020, 5 pm UTC to September 26, 2020, 5 am UTC. Tennis Clash players will be distributed in groups of approximately one-hundred (100) Tennis Clash players (each a “Bracket”) based on their Tennis Clash non tournament league as provided above and are allowed to play up to ten (10) Tournament Matches, subject to playing additional Tournament Matches using Tennis Clash Gems as provided above.

Tennis Clash players will advance from Qualifying Round I based on their position among other Tennis Clash players within their Brackets. Specifically, for each Tournament Level, a Tennis Clash player’s ranking is determined by the amount of points he or she wins, subject to any tiebreakers. For example, a Beginner Tennis Clash player must be in the top 10% of the other Beginner Level Tennis Clash players in his or her Bracket in order to move on to Qualifying Round II. For each Tournament Level, Tennis Clash players must be in the following top percentiles in order to move on from Qualifying Round I to Qualifying Round II:

  • Beginner: 10%;
  • Rookie: 5%;
  • Junior: 10%;
  • Challenger: 20%.

Qualifying Round II

The second Tournament Round, Qualifying Round II, will last thirty-six (36) hours from September 26, 2020, 5:15 am UTC to September 27, 2020, 5:15 pm UTC. Tennis Clash players will be distributed in Brackets based on their Tennis Clash non tournament league as provided above and are allowed to play up to ten (10) Tournament Matches, subject to playing additional Tournament Matches using Tennis Clash Gems as provided above.

Tennis Clash players will advance in from Qualifying Round II based on their position among other Tennis Clash players within their Brackets. The Tennis Clash player score from Qualifying Round I will have no impact in their Qualifying Round II result. Specifically, for each Bracket, a Tennis Clash player’s ranking is determined by the amount of points he or she wins, subject to any tiebreakers. For example, a Beginner Tennis Clash player must be in the top 5% of the other Tennis Clash players within his or her Bracket to move on to the Final Round. The following top percentiles will determine which Tennis Clash players move on from Qualifying Round II to the Final Round:

  • Beginner: 5%;
  • Rookie: 5%;
  • Junior: 5%;
  • Challenger: 15%.

Final Round

The third and final Tournament Round is the “Final Round,” and will last 24 hours from September 27, 2020, 5:30 pm UTC to September 28, 2020, 5:30 pm UTC. Tennis Clash players will be placed in a single group for each Tournament Level. Each Tennis Clash player is permitted to play up to twenty (20) Tournament Matches, subject to playing additional Tournament Matches using Tennis Clash Gems as provided above.

Tennis Clash players’ scores will determine the outcome of the Final Round. The Tennis Clash player scores from Qualifying Round I and Qualifying Round II will have no impact on their Final Round result. The one hundred (100) highest scoring players from each Tournament Level will be eligible to receive a prize as further described below. 

 

f. Tiebreakers

 

Tiebreakers will be determined in the following order based on whoever has:

  • A better net points difference, based on the Tennis Clash player’s scored points minus his or her opponent’s scored points (extra Tournament Matches played using Tennis Clash Gems might replace his or her worst results, but won’t increase the  number of Tournament Matches considered beyond the applicable Initial Number of Matches);
  • the most Tournament Match wins (extra Tournament Matches played using  Tennis Clash Gems might replace his or her worst results, but won’t increase the  number of Tournament Matches considered beyond the applicable Initial Number of Matches);
  • the most Tournament Match wins that end with a score of 10-0 (extra Tournament Matches played using Tennis Clash Gems might replace his or her worst results, but won’t increase the number of Tournament Matches considered beyond the applicable Initial Number of Matches);
  • more Tournament Matches played (extra Tournament Matches bought with Tennis Clash Gems not included); and
  • the earliest end of last Tournament Match, extra Tournament Matches played using Tennis Clash Gems included.

The next one hundred (100) top scoring Tennis Clash players who finish the Final Round of each Tournament Level will receive in-game prizes in accordance with their ranking. These prizes are described in Appendix 1 below.

c.    Prize Distribution Condition

 

Prizes are nontransferable and cannot be substituted for other prizes or, traded or exchanged for cash or any other prize. Wildlife Studios reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal or greater value if it sees fit. As a condition of being awarded any prize, winners consent to the collection and processing of personal data from Wildlife Studios in accordance with the Wildlife Privacy Policy and in order to establish communication and proceed with the delivery of physical prizes, Wildlife Studios or our agent may request that prize winners provide certain information about themselves as described in the prize notification. Prize winners will be notified via an in-App message within 48 hours of the Tournament’s completion. Prize winners must comply with any prize delivery instructions provided to them in order to receive any prizes.  In the case a prize winner does not respond in 24 hours after the in-App message is sent by Wildlife Studios for any reason, such winner will forfeit his/her prize(s) and such forfeited prize shall be awarded to the next best ranked player who has not been awarded that prize for such Round. Tennis Clash players won’t be allowed to receive more than one prize; therefore, if a Tennis Clash player who was already eligible to win a prize gets awarded a higher-ranked prize due to a higher-ranked Tennis Clash player forfeiting such prize, he or she will get only the higher-ranked prize, and his or her original prize will be awarded to the next best ranked Tennis Clash player. Prize distribution will only begin after three players at each Tournament Level have responded to Wildlife Studios in-App message, and their eligibility is confirmed. Prize winners are solely responsible for payment of any taxes assessed on them as a result of winning any prize.  Winners of Laver Cup® tickets are solely responsible for their own travel and accommodation costs.

All potential prize winners are subject to verification and for strict compliance with these Official Rules and Wildlife Terms before any prize will be awarded.

c.Match Tennis Clash and Disconnects

We’ll pay for all filing, administration and arbitrator fees and expenses if your Dispute is for less than $10,000, unless the arbitrator finds your Dispute frivolous. If we prevail in arbitration we’ll pay all of our attorneys’ fees and costs and won’t seek to recover them from you. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to the extent provided under applicable law.

g.Class Action Waiver.

 YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, if the parties’ dispute is resolved through arbitration, the arbitrator may not consolidate another person’s claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Dispute Resolution (Section 14) shall be null and void.

h.Effect of Changes on Arbitration.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 14 above, if we change any of the terms of this Section 14 after the date you first accepted these Official Rules (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Official Rules), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email to our Support Email Address) within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last Updated” date above or in the date of our notice to you of such change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and us in accordance with the terms of this Section 14 “Dispute Resolution and Governing Law” as of the date you first accepted these Official Rules (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Official Rules).

i.  Severability.

 With the exception of any of the provisions in Section 14(h) above, if an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction decides that any part of these Official Rules is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of these Official Rules will still apply.

15.     DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND GOVERNING LAW – OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES

16.      NO ASSIGNMENT

You may not assign or transfer your registration or participation in the Tournament, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent.

c.Severability.

 These Official Rules describe certain legal rights. You may have other rights under the laws of your jurisdiction. These Official Rules do not change your rights under the laws of your jurisdiction if the laws of your jurisdiction do not permit it to do so.

d.No Waiver.

 Your and our actions or inactions will not create any other rights under these Official Rules except as what is explicitly written within these Official Rules. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Official Rules will not be considered a waiver of such right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by one of our duly authorized representatives. Except as expressly set forth in these Official Rules, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Official Rules will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Official Rules or otherwise.
