At ELO, we’re committed to hosting fair, transparent, and community-first events. Whether it’s a tournament, a product giveaway, or a one-night showdown. To ensure equal opportunity and preserve the integrity of our platform, all participants must adhere to the following rules.

By entering any ELO-run event, you are agreeing to this policy.

🎯 1. Eligibility

To participate in any official ELO event:

• You must follow the specific instructions provided — whether that’s a sign-up link, entry form, Discord invite, or other method.
• You must use your primary account (Discord, email, or social).
• Use of alternate accounts, automation/bots, or entries made through “Join-for-Join” communities or exchange servers is strictly prohibited.

🕹️ 2. Fair Play & Integrity

We take competition seriously — and so should you.

• Cheating, automation, or exploiting loopholes will lead to review or disqualification.
• If someone accuses another participant, both parties must submit proof.
• ELO staff may request screen recordings, live screen shares, or other forms of verification if credibility is in question.
• Refusal to comply with a verification request = automatic disqualification.

📌 Proof requirements may increase depending on prize value, visibility, or dispute severity. ELO staff will make the final call on what qualifies as valid proof.

🛡️ 3. Verification Procedure

If a verification is required, it will be handled in a moderated call with ELO staff:

• A translator will be provided if there’s a language barrier.
• Both participants will be given the opportunity to:
  • Share their screens
  • Present evidence
  • Answer moderator questions

🎥 Consent Policy: Participants will be informed if the call is recorded. Verbal consent is required before the recording begins.

By joining a verification call, you consent to having your screen share and evidence reviewed by ELO staff for event integrity.

📁 Data Retention: Any recordings, screenshots, or evidence will be stored securely and deleted within 30 days unless needed for an ongoing dispute or legal reason.

⚖️ 4. Moderator Authority

ELO staff and event moderators hold final decision-making power:

• All rulings are based on verified evidence and good-faith participation.
• Hostility, evasion, or refusal to cooperate will result in disqualification.
• Once a decision is made, it is final and binding.

🔒 5. Privacy & Conduct

We believe in protecting our players’ privacy — and that includes you.

• Do not publicly share private DMs, screenshots, or personal information without explicit consent.
• Evidence must be submitted privately to authorized ELO staff only.
• We will never request access to private third-party conversations or platforms.
• All dispute handling will respect platform guidelines, privacy laws, and community expectations.
• Regardless of conflict, respectful conduct is mandatory.

🚫 6. Disqualification & Forfeits

You may be disqualified for any of the following:

• Refusing verification
• Using alternate/bot accounts
• Violating eligibility or fair play rules
• Submitting misleading information
• Engaging in harassment or disruptive behavior

If a winner is disqualified, the prize will be awarded to the next eligible participant per event criteria.

🌐 7. Transparency & Ongoing Improvements

ELO is constantly evolving — and so are our events.

• We will always strive to run events that are transparent, community-focused, and fair.
• Feedback from participants is welcomed and will help improve future formats.
• These rules may evolve, but our commitment to fairness will always be non-negotiable.

🤝 8. Official Platform Partnerships

ELO is officially partnered with Global Stars Network (GSN), platform in competitive esports.

What this means for you:

• Match results count toward the GSN World Leaderboard
• Your team and tournament results will be listed online for the global esports community
• ELO events will be featured on both platforms, giving your team worldwide visibility

Data & Privacy:

• By registering, you consent to your team name, roster, and nationality being shared with GSN for indexing purposes
• GSN receives viewer-only access to registration data - no personal contact information is shared

Match Reporting:

• ELO staff will handle all score and map ban reporting to both platforms. No action is required from participants.

POV Streaming (Voluntary):

• We encourage at least 1 player per team to stream their POV during matches for transparency. Teams with an active stream will have an advantage in any dispute resolution.

Data shared with partner platforms is also subject to their respective privacy policies.

📌 Final Note

By entering any ELO giveaway, tournament, or event, you acknowledge and accept these policies.

Participation is a privilege. Integrity is non-negotiable.
