Round One Organizer Agreement

About this agreement

• Rejects Esports LLC wrote this agreement itself, in plain language, from how Round One and TradeBack really work. This agreement has not been reviewed by a lawyer yet. We plan to have it reviewed, and we may update it after that review. Any change follows the rules for changes in this agreement.
• This agreement is still our official version and is in effect as written.
• Nothing in this agreement, or anything else we publish, is legal advice to you. If you need legal advice, ask your own lawyer.
• If a court finds that any part of this agreement cannot be enforced as written, that part is applied as far as the law allows, and the rest still applies.
• Nothing in this agreement takes away a right that the law where you live gives you and that cannot be given up by agreement.
• If something here is unclear, ask us at rejectsesportsbusiness@gmail.com before you rely on your own reading.

1 Parties and acceptance

1.1 Company. Rejects Esports LLC (Company, "Round One", "we") is the service provider. It is an Ohio limited liability company. Our notice address is 5826 Buckwheat Rd, Milford, OH 45150, United States. Our notice email is rejectsesportsbusiness@gmail.com. An owner of Rejects Esports LLC signs this agreement and each invoice for the Company. Printing a name here is not a signature.

1.2 Organizer. The Organizer is [FULL LEGAL NAME], a [ENTITY TYPE OR INDIVIDUAL] organized or living in [JURISDICTION], with notice address [ADDRESS] and notice email [EMAIL]. Its public league, organization or event name on Round One is [PUBLIC NAME]. A public name alone does not identify the contracting party. If no legal entity exists, the responsible person must be named as Organizer.

1.3 Acceptance. This agreement starts when both parties accept the same version. For the Organizer, acceptance can be a signature or a deliberate, recorded click on the acceptance screen that gives a downloadable copy. We keep a record of the version accepted, who accepted it and when. A draft, an account request, or approval of an event listing alone does not accept this agreement. An Organizer must accept the current version before it opens registration for any event, and again before running a paid event that ends on or after 1 December 2026 if a new version applies by then.

1.4 Plain language. This agreement is written in plain words on purpose. It is still a binding commercial agreement. Each party may get its own legal advice before accepting.

2 Who can be an Organizer

2.1 The person who accepts this agreement must be at least 18, have legal capacity, identify the Organizer correctly and have authority to bind it. Round One accounts start at age 13, but a person under 18 cannot accept this agreement for an organizer. Event and org staff must be 16 or older; staff aged 16 and 17 handle match tasks only (check-in, scheduling, scores), and may not open safety reports, dispute evidence or other private material (section 7.6).

2.2 A person who signs only as a representative of an organization does not become personally liable merely by signing. A person who signs for themselves is the Organizer personally.

2.3 The Organizer keeps its identity, contacts, staff list and event ownership information accurate and updates them promptly. It tells us promptly about anything that could stop it from honoring refunds or prizes it has promised, such as insolvency or loss of funding.

2.4 The Organizer must not claim that its acceptance binds teams, players, sponsors or other people who have not agreed.

3 What Round One provides

3.1 Round One provides the Round One Network platform: event pages and listings, registration, brackets, schedules, Match Rooms, check-in, vetoes, score entry, replay verification, disputes, rankings and moderation tools. TradeBack (the team stats tracker) has its own separate terms and is not part of this agreement.

3.2 A feature is included only if it is available on the site when the event runs. We do not promise to build a particular feature, to supply players or sponsors, or to produce any particular result for an event.

3.3 Round One does not collect entry fees from teams, hold prize money, pay prizes or process refunds. Round One shows the fee the Organizer states and the Organizer's own "paid" mark. Paid events created in November 2026, and paid events that end on or after 1 December 2026, carry the Round One fee in section 9A, which Round One bills to the Organizer. If Round One ever offers payment handling, it will be under a new written agreement that the Organizer must accept first.

4 Who is responsible for what

This section is the heart of the agreement. Each side does its own part and does not promise the other side's part to anyone.

4.1 Round One is responsible for:

• running and maintaining the platform, Match Rooms and tools;
• Match Rooms (check-in, vetoes, chat, score entry, disputes);
• replay verification, meaning reading the replays teams upload and checking results against them;
• the Round One-locked rules in section 6.2;
• moderation of forfeits and bans, which need a Round One moderator;
• the dispute and appeal process in section 8;
• Class and Player Rating, which Round One calculates by its own method from league and tournament matches (scrims never count);
• keeping its own account, privacy and safety rules, and acting on reports under section 13.

4.2 The Organizer is responsible for:

• truthful event listings (section 5);
• the event schedule and time zones;
• the organizer-settable rules, within the values Round One allows (section 6.3);
• entry fees and refunds (section 9), and paying the Round One fee on time (section 9A);
• prize promises and payment (section 10);
• casting, streams and sponsors (section 11);
• its event staff and mods (section 7);
• its use of participant data (section 12);
• permissions it needs from the game publisher and others (section 14);
• who plays in its events and making sure every player is allowed to play, pay and win (section 10A);
• following the law that applies to its event, including any rules about contests, prizes, taxes and minors.

4.3 Listing, approving, moderating or giving tools for an event does not make Round One the producer, insurer or guarantor of the event. Round One is not a party to the Organizer's promises to teams, players, sponsors or viewers.

5 Truthful listings

5.1 Everything the Organizer publishes about its event must be true and not misleading. Before registration opens, the Organizer must publish on the event page:

• who the Organizer is, with a way to reach it;
• the event format, dates, start times and time zone;
• who can enter, including any age rule and any region limits;
• the entry fee, if any, and every other charge a team must pay;
• the prize promise (section 10), including what is funded, what is not, and the payout deadline;
• the refund policy (section 9) and the cancellation rules (section 15);
• the rules the event uses, including every organizer-settable value it has chosen;
• sponsors and any partnership it claims.

5.2 The Organizer must keep the listing current. A material change after teams have registered (a new date, a changed format, a lower prize, a new fee) must be shown clearly on the event page and told to registered teams, and section 15 applies.

5.3 The Organizer must not use fake teams, fake results, invented prize pools, fake sponsors or fake claims of approval. It must not say or imply that Ubisoft, BLAST, Twitch, Round One or anyone else endorses or runs the event unless that is true and they have agreed.

5.4 Round One may remove or hide a listing, or ask for a correction, if it is false, misleading, unsafe or breaks this agreement. We try to tell the Organizer why, unless that would put someone at risk.

6 Rules for events

6.1 Rule base. Matches on Round One follow the BLAST R6 rulebooks (the Global Rulebook BLAST R6 Season 2026 Stage 2 and the NAL Rulebook Season 2026) as Round One's rule base, with credit to BLAST. BLAST has not reviewed, approved or endorsed Round One or any Round One event. Round One's Match Rooms apply that rule base; the BLAST rulebooks remain BLAST's work.

6.2 Round One-locked rules. The Organizer cannot change these, and Round One is responsible for them:

• check-in opens 30 minutes before every match;
• forfeits and bans must be made by a Round One moderator;
• disputes and appeals follow Round One's process (section 8);
• results are verified from replays under Round One's replay verification;
• Class and Player Rating are calculated by Round One only;
• conduct rules, including the Community and Safety Rules;
• the forfeit score of 7:0.

6.3 Organizer-settable rules. The Organizer may choose these within the values the site allows, and must publish its choices (section 5):

• lateness handling (default: a warning at 15 minutes, a round lost at 25, 30, 35 and 40 minutes late, a map forfeit at 45 minutes and, in Best of 3 and Best of 5, a match forfeit at 60 minutes);
• the penalty scale;
• roster size and when the roster locks;
• substitution notice and stand-ins;
• rehost limits;
• the last day to play each match (teams may reschedule up to it);
• the ping limit;
• an age rule for the event (section 12.3).

6.4 Maps. The map pool is the nine maps Round One lists (Bank, Border, Chalet, Clubhouse, Fortress, Kafe, Lair, Nighthaven Labs and Villa). Round One's veto and pick order follows the BLAST rule base. Scrims never ban maps; teams agree a map pool.

6.5 If an organizer-settable value conflicts with a Round One-locked rule or with the BLAST rule base, the locked rule or rule base wins. If the Organizer's own written rules are unclear, the version published on the event page when registration opened is used.

7 Moderation and event mods

7.1 The Organizer may appoint event mods. The Organizer is responsible for who it appoints, for what they do, and for removing them when they leave. Event mods must follow the Community and Safety Rules and this agreement.

7.2 Event mods can run matters inside their event, such as check-in problems, rescheduling and score questions, within the Organizer's published rules. They cannot hand out forfeits or bans on their own. A forfeit or ban needs a Round One moderator (section 6.2). They also cannot change Round One-locked rules, Class or Player Rating.

7.3 Conflicts of interest. A mod, staff member or Organizer who has a conflict of interest in a matter must not decide it alone. A conflict includes a decision about their own team, a teammate, a family member, a close friend or a team they coach or own, and anything where they or their team gain or lose from the result. A conflicted person must say so and step back. The decision needs a second approval from another mod with no conflict. Round One already requires this second approval on the platform, and the Organizer must follow it and not work around it.

7.4 Match Room chat can be seen by the two teams, the Organizer and the mods of that match. Mods and the Organizer must keep what they see there private and use it only to run the event and handle disputes.

7.5 Moderation decisions must have a reasonable basis, name the rule broken, and follow the published appeal process. A sanction may apply to a person or a team only where the published rules allow it. Round One may suspend a person or team in an event right away when needed to protect safety, security or fair play, and review afterwards.

7.6 Event and org staff. Every event mod, org mod and event admin must be 16 or older and must accept the Event and Org Staff Agreement on Round One before their role works. The Organizer is responsible for them. An event mod aged 16 or 17 may handle match tasks only. Only adults may open safety reports, dispute evidence or other private material, or handle reports about grooming, sexual content or threats.

8 Disputes and appeals

8.1 Disputes about a match are raised in the Match Room and handled by the process Round One runs. Dispute evidence is private to the people involved and Round One. A dispute shows publicly only as a short result label.

8.2 Round One decides disputes about results, replay checks, forfeits and bans. The Organizer follows the outcome and must not change a result Round One has settled or enter a different result.

8.3 A team or player may appeal under Round One's appeals process. A person involved in the decision, or with a conflict, must not decide the appeal (section 7.3). The Organizer must not punish or retaliate against anyone for raising a dispute or appeal in good faith.

8.4 Disputes about the Organizer's own promises (entry fees, refunds, prizes, schedule, casting) are between the Organizer and the person affected. Round One does not decide them and does not pay them, but it may use its rights under sections 5.4 and 23 if the Organizer ignores them.

9 Entry fees and refunds

9.1 The Organizer decides whether an event has an entry fee and how much. The Organizer sets, collects and refunds its own entry fees. Round One does not touch that money. Round One shows the fee and the Organizer's "paid" mark and nothing more.

9.2 The Organizer must state on the event page, before anyone pays: the fee, what it covers, how and to whom it is paid, who to contact, and the refund policy.

9.3 The Organizer must not ask for card numbers, bank logins or similar details in Match Room chat, in Round One messages or anywhere on Round One. It must use a lawful payment method of its own, and it is responsible for that method and its terms.

9.4 The Organizer must refund an entry fee, within the time it published, or within 14 days if it published none, when:

• it cancels the event;
• it changes the event so much that an affected team could not reasonably take part (section 15);
• it rejects an entry, or an entry is a duplicate or was taken by mistake;
• the law or the Organizer's own published policy requires it.

9.5 The Organizer must not replace a required refund with a credit, voucher or another event without the person's agreement. It must not make a refund depend on signing a release, taking down a review or withdrawing a complaint.

9.6 Disciplinary removal. If the published event terms say, before payment, that a person or team removed for a proven rule violation gets no refund, the Organizer may follow that term, but only after a Round One moderator has made the forfeit or ban (section 6.2). A mandatory refund right and a more generous published promise still apply. If a sanction is overturned, the Organizer must restore the entry or refund it.

9.7 Entry fees are the Organizer's business. The Organizer is responsible for any taxes, licenses or registrations that apply to collecting them. Round One is not the Organizer's tax adviser.

9.8 TradeBack is a separate paid subscription with its own terms and is not an entry fee. Nothing in this agreement enrolls the Organizer in it.

9A The Round One fee and billing

9A.1 An event with an entry fee carries a Round One fee made of up to two parts:

• the Team Fee, 2.5% of the entry fee, which the Organizer adds on top of the entry fee and collects from each team with it; and
• the Organizer Fee, 2.5% of the entry fee, which the Organizer pays out of the entry fees (and so out of the money available for prizes).

Which parts apply depends on when the event was created on Round One and when it ends (Eastern time):

• Events created in November 2026 (from 1 November 2026 to 30 November 2026) that open sign-ups by the end of 30 November 2026 carry the Team Fee only, 2.5%, however long they run, even if they end in November 2026 or in 2027. There is no Organizer Fee on these events. A November 2026 event that opens sign-ups later is treated like any other event.
• Other events with an entry fee that end on or after 1 December 2026 carry both parts, 5% in total.
• Events created before November 2026 that end before 1 December 2026 carry no fee.

For example, on a $10 entry fee, each team pays the Organizer $10.25. On an event with both parts, the Organizer keeps $9.75 and the Round One fee is $0.50 per team. On a November 2026 event under the first point above, the Organizer keeps $10.00 and the Round One fee is $0.25 per team, which is the Team Fee the Organizer collected.

9A.2 Price shown. The price on the event page must be the full amount a team pays, including the Team Fee. The Organizer may choose to absorb the Team Fee, charging teams only the entry fee and paying the Team Fee itself (together with the Organizer Fee, where it applies), as long as the price on the event page is what teams actually pay.

9A.2A Fixed when sign-ups open. Whether the fee applies, and which parts, is decided by the date the event was created on Round One and its posted end date (Eastern time), as section 9A.1 sets out, and fixed when sign-ups open. The entry fee and price cannot change after sign-ups open.

9A.3 No fee. There is no Round One fee on a free event, on an event created before November 2026 that ends before 1 December 2026, or on an event cancelled before it ends.

9A.4 How the fee is worked out. The fee is 5% of the entry fee posted on the event page (2.5% for a November 2026 event under section 9A.1), times the number of teams registered when the event closes. A team that the Organizer refunded in full is left out if the Organizer tells Round One and shows the refund.

9A.5 Invoice and payment. After the event closes, Round One sends the Organizer an invoice. It is due on the date shown on the invoice, normally 7 days after it is sent. The Organizer must pay it to Rejects Esports LLC by any payment method Round One accepts, as listed on the invoice. Round One gives a receipt for every payment.

9A.6 Late payment. If the invoice is not paid when due, Round One may:

• send a reminder;
• 14 days after the due date, stop the Organizer from posting new events;
• 20 days after the due date, add a late fee of $25;
• 30 days after the due date, restrict the Organizer's whole Round One account (it cannot run events or play) and hide its events;
• 45 days after the due date, ban the Organizer's account, and take the debt to small claims court or another lawful collection.

Round One decides each step. None of them happens automatically.

Paying everything owed, including any late fee, lifts a restriction that is not a ban and unhides the events. Round One may cancel (void) an invoice it sent by mistake, which also lifts any restriction it caused. Ending this agreement or closing the account does not cancel the debt.

9A.7 Questioning an invoice. The Organizer may question an invoice in writing within 14 days of receiving it, with proof such as refund receipts or the final registration list. Round One reviews it and corrects a real mistake. If the Organizer does not question it in time, the invoice stands.

9A.8 Records and checks. The Organizer must keep a record of the entry fees it collected and the refunds it made for each event, for at least 2 years, and show it to Round One within 7 days when asked. Round One may contact teams to confirm what they paid.

9A.9 Fee avoidance. Posting a lower entry fee than teams really pay, charging entry fees or other required payments outside the event page (for example in Discord), leaving out teams, or setting up an event as free while charging for it is a serious breach. The Organizer then owes the Round One fee on the real amounts, plus any late fee, and Round One may ban the Organizer.

9A.10 Fee changes. Round One may change the fee with at least 30 days' notice. A change never applies to an event already open for registration.

9A.11 Taxes. The Round One fee does not include any tax that applies to it. The Organizer is responsible for taxes on the entry fees it collects. Round One is responsible for its own taxes on the fee.

9A.12 The fee does not make Round One the organizer, producer, insurer or guarantor of the event, and does not make Round One a party to the Organizer's promises to teams (section 4.3).

10 Prize promises

10.1 The Organizer decides whether an event has prizes. A prize promise is the Organizer's promise, not Round One's. Round One does not hold, guarantee or pay prizes.

10.2 A prize must be one of these, and the event page must say which:

• funded: the money, or the item, is already in the Organizer's hands or in a clearly named funder's hands when registration opens; or
• not funded: the page clearly says the prize depends on something stated (for example, a number of entries or a sponsor still to pay) and what happens if that does not happen.

The Organizer must not present a prize that depends on something as if it were guaranteed.

10.3 The Organizer must publish the prize amounts or items, how they are split, who gets them, any tax forms needed, and a payout deadline. If the Organizer published no deadline, prizes must be paid within 30 days after the final match. The Organizer must pay within that stated time.

10.4 The Organizer is liable to winners for every prize it promised, whether or not a sponsor, platform or other person paid it. A sponsor that does not pay does not excuse a guaranteed prize.

10.5 The Organizer must not quietly reduce a prize, change who gets it, or move the deadline after teams have registered, except as section 15 allows. If an unfunded prize is not reached, the Organizer must say so openly, as promised on the page.

10.6 If a result is overturned or a team is disqualified before a prize is paid, the Organizer pays the person or team that is entitled after the decision. Round One's decision on a result (section 8) is final for the competition. The Organizer must not use a Round One dispute as an excuse to delay a prize that is not in dispute.

10.7 The Organizer must not use a prize as a way to run gambling, side betting, sham purchases, or any contest that is unlawful where the event or the players are. Calling an event skill based does not make it lawful everywhere. The Organizer must exclude people or places the law requires it to exclude.

10.8 The Organizer is responsible for taxes, reporting and any withholding on prizes it pays. Prize winners must give any tax information through secure means, not on public profiles or in Match Room chat.

10.9 Unpaid prizes. If the Organizer does not pay a prize when it should, Round One may ban the Organizer, mark the event "Prizes not paid" on Round One, and give the affected players the Organizer's contact details from section 1.2 so they can pursue the Organizer. Round One never pays a prize the Organizer owes.

10A Who plays: the Organizer's sole responsibility

10A.1 The Organizer is solely responsible for who plays in its events, and for making sure every player and team is allowed to enter, pay an entry fee and win a prize under the law that applies to them, including laws on age, location, contests, sweepstakes, gambling and taxes. Round One does not assume any responsibility for this.

10A.2 Players under 18. Before a player under 18 pays an entry fee or receives a prize, the Organizer must get permission from that player's parent or legal guardian, directly and through the player. Round One does not give Organizers guardian contacts (section 12.3) and does not check this permission.

10A.3 Places that limit paid contests. Round One may keep a list of states, provinces or other places where paid events are not available, and may stop players there from entering paid events. Players give their state or province in their settings; a player with no answer, or from a listed place, cannot sign up for a paid event, be added to its roster or stand in. The Organizer sees only that the check passed. The Organizer must not get around that block, and must also exclude anyone else the law requires it to exclude. Round One's list is a safety step, not legal advice, and does not take over the Organizer's responsibility in 10A.1.

10A.4 If a player was not allowed to take part, the Organizer handles it with that player, including any refund or prize change, under its published rules and the law.

11 Casting, streams and sponsors

11.1 The Organizer decides whether and how an event is cast or streamed, who casts it, and where it is shown. Round One's caster and broadcast tools are a convenience. Round One does not run or guarantee any broadcast.

11.2 The Organizer is responsible for the right to stream and show the event, including the game publisher's rules (section 14), music, artwork and sponsor marks. It must credit and handle third-party material under the rules that apply to it.

11.3 Streams and casts must follow the Community and Safety Rules. Casters and the Organizer must not show private information, such as Match Room chat, dispute evidence or private team pages, unless the people involved agreed.

11.4 Sponsors. The Organizer is responsible for its sponsor deals and for what it promises sponsors and the public. It must make clear which sponsors are real and what they have actually agreed to. It must not say that a sponsor backs Round One unless Round One agreed. Sponsor logos and content must be lawful and must not target children with unsuitable products.

11.5 The Organizer pays and handles its own casters, staff and sponsors. Round One is not their employer or paymaster.

11.6 League Discord server. The Organizer may connect its league's own Discord server to its events. Only the Organizer, the owner of the org the event runs under, or a Round One admin can connect or disconnect it; event mods and org staff cannot. Then the Round One bot adds the linked players, coaches and staff of the teams in each match to that server, makes a private match chat and a voice channel for each team, and deletes them 6 hours after the result. The Organizer agrees that:

• the server is the Organizer's and is run under Discord's terms, and the Organizer is responsible for it, its admins and moderators, and what happens on it;
• the Community and Safety Rules apply in the bot's channels, and the Organizer's staff follow the Event and Org Staff Agreement there;
• it will not export, copy or use the list of people the bot adds for marketing or anything else, and will not message players about anything other than its events;
• it will not read, keep or share the bot's match chats except to run the match and handle disputes, and will not change the bot's channels or permissions;
• players under 18 are added to its server the same as adults; the Organizer, its admins and its staff must not seek private contact with them there, must keep the bot channels safe, and must report safety problems to Round One at once (section 13);
• Team roles. If the Organizer turns on team roles, the bot adds each approved team's linked players, subs, coaches, staff and managers (including players under 18) to the server from approval, and gives them a role with the team's name and colour. Round One never deletes those roles. After the event they stay on the Organizer's server, and the Organizer is responsible for them. If a player, or the parent or guardian of a player under 18, asks the Organizer to remove their role or remove them from the server, the Organizer does so promptly.
• Round One can disconnect the server, or remove the bot, at any time.

12 Participant data

12.1 The Organizer may use participant data only for what it needs to run the event, such as who registered, team rosters, match times and results.

12.2 The Organizer must treat these as private and must not ask for them, export them, or keep copies of them outside what the site shows it: email addresses, birth information, birth year, guardian contacts, notification settings, Match Room chat outside its own event, dispute evidence outside its own event, and private team pages.

12.3 Age. An Organizer who sets an age rule for the event (for example 18 or older) gets only a yes or no answer from Round One on whether a player meets that rule. The Organizer never receives birth information, birth year or guardian contacts, and must not try to collect them through Round One or around it. When section 10A.2 needs a guardian's permission, the Organizer asks the player to have their parent or guardian give it, and keeps only that permission.

12.4 No exporting emails. The Organizer must not export, copy, scrape or collect participant emails or other contact details, and must not use another route (such as asking players for lists) to build a contact list from Round One users.

12.5 No marketing without consent. The Organizer must not use participant data to market to people, sell or pass it to anyone, or add people to a mailing list, unless the person clearly agreed on their own to that specific use. Contacting a person about their own event match, a rule change or a safety issue is not marketing.

12.6 Data in Match Room chat and uploaded evidence is deleted 90 days after the event is final. The Organizer must not keep its own copies of that material beyond what it needs for an open dispute or a legal duty, and must delete them when that need ends.

12.7 The Organizer must keep what it does hold safe: strong sign-in, limited staff access, and removal of people who leave. It must follow privacy law that applies to it and must tell Round One within 24 hours of finding out about a data leak or a breach of an account involving its event.

12.8 Round One's own handling of data is set out in the Round One privacy notice. Round One and the Organizer each decide how they use data for their own purposes. If the Organizer needs a data processing agreement because of its own role, the parties will complete one before the processing starts.

12.9 Nothing here stops anyone from making a truthful report to a government body, a court, or a safety service.

13 Safety reporting and the Community and Safety Rules

13.1 The Organizer, its staff and its mods must follow the Round One Community and Safety Rules and must make sure its staff and mods have read them.

13.2 The Organizer and its staff must report to Round One at once, using the Contact page or another channel Round One names, any of these they learn about or see:

• threats of violence or harm, including self-harm;
• grooming, meaning an adult trying to build a relationship with a young person for harm;
• sexual exploitation, or sexual content involving a minor;
• a player who is under 13 or who appears to be using an account against the age rules;
• harassment, stalking, doxxing or hate directed at a person;
• anything that puts a person at immediate risk. In an emergency, contact local emergency services first.

13.3 The Organizer must keep what it has seen (screens, messages, links) and give it to Round One and to the authorities when asked. It must not investigate on its own in a way that puts anyone at risk, must not confront the person, and must not share the matter publicly.

13.4 The Organizer may suspend a person from its event to protect others while it waits for Round One to review. It must not retaliate against a person who reports.

13.5 Round One may act on a report by a warning, a restriction, a ban, removing content, a report to authorities (including child safety bodies) or other steps. Round One decides what it does. It does not have to tell the Organizer the result where telling would put someone at risk or harm an investigation.

13.6 Minors. Round One accounts start at 13. The account of a player aged 13 to 15 stays locked until a parent or legal guardian approves it from the guardian's own email address. Players aged 16 and 17 need no approval but keep every under-18 protection. The Organizer never sees age records or guardian contacts, only a yes or no for the event's age rule. The Organizer must not ask a minor for private contact details, private photos, money or one-on-one contact, and must not set up private contact with a minor outside Round One. At an in-person event, the Organizer is responsible for supervision, venue safety, and any guardian forms and permissions the law requires.

13.7 There are no direct messages between users on Round One today. The Organizer must not use Match Room chat or any other tool for harassment, off-topic contact or pressure.

14 Publisher permissions and credit

14.1 Ubisoft. The Organizer is responsible for meeting Ubisoft's community tournament rules for Rainbow Six Siege, including any rules on prize pools, entry fees, sponsors, branding and use of the game's assets. The Organizer must get any permission Ubisoft requires and give Round One proof when asked.

14.2 Round One does not give an Organizer any right to use Ubisoft's marks, assets or content beyond what Ubisoft allows. Round One and the Organizer must not imply that Ubisoft endorses or runs an event unless Ubisoft has said so. Map images on Round One are from Ubisoft's official pages and credited "Map images: Ubisoft".

14.3 BLAST. Round One uses the BLAST R6 rulebooks as its rule base with credit to BLAST. BLAST does not endorse Round One or any event. The Organizer must keep the credit when it shows or copies the rules, must not say BLAST runs, approves or sponsors the event, and must not use BLAST's name or marks as if it did.

14.4 Violating the game publisher's terms (Ubisoft's Terms of Use) may lead to action by the publisher. Round One does not ban accounts on the publisher's services. Round One and the Organizer may apply their own event or platform rules, under sections 6 to 8.

14.5 Other permissions. The Organizer must also obtain any venue, broadcast, music, image and other permission its event needs.

15 Cancellations and material changes

15.1 If the Organizer cancels an event, it must tell every registered team promptly, in writing and on the event page, with a reason and the refund steps. The Organizer must give at least 7 days' notice before the start, unless the cause is outside the Organizer's control, and should give as much notice as it can.

15.2 If an event is cancelled, or is changed so much that an affected team could not reasonably take part (for example a big change to the dates, the format, who can enter, or the prize), the Organizer owes affected teams the refund of any entry fee under section 9.4, in the time stated there. The Organizer, not Round One, owes this money.

15.3 The Organizer must not use a new name, a long delay or an unclear postponement to avoid a refund. An event that has not run within 30 days after its published start, with no clear new date, is treated as cancelled.

15.4 If the Organizer cancels after prizes were promised, section 10.4 still applies for any prize the Organizer promised as funded. For a prize it clearly said was not funded, section 10.2 applies.

15.5 If an event stops partway, the Organizer must say clearly what happens to prizes, results and refunds, following what it published before registration and the law. It must not make up a new rule after the fact to keep money it owes.

15.6 Round One may take down or end a listing for a cancelled event, tell registered teams that it was cancelled, and keep the verified results and records of matches that were played.

16 Fair play and prohibited uses

16.1 The Organizer must run its event fairly. It must not allow or take part in match fixing, fake entrants, collusion, cheating, account selling, falsified evidence, retaliation, harassment or discrimination.

16.2 The Organizer must not use Round One for gambling, side betting, money laundering, sanctions evasion, scams, or anything unlawful. It must not use Round One to collect payment details, to advertise unrelated products, or to send spam.

16.3 The Organizer must follow the Community and Safety Rules, the Round One Terms and this agreement. A breach may lead to action under section 23.

17 Content and intellectual property

17.1 Each party keeps what it owned before. Round One keeps its software, branding, layouts and tools. The Organizer keeps its names, logos and artwork.

17.2 The Organizer gives Round One a non-exclusive license to show and store the event name, logos, artwork, rules and approved broadcasts that it supplies, to run, show and promote the listed event and to keep the event record. The Organizer promises it has the right to give this license. Logos and pictures must be PNG, JPG or WebP; GIFs are not accepted.

17.3 Verified results and event records stay as part of the public competition record, even after an event ends, as Round One's records keep them. Personal data rights still apply as described in the Round One privacy notice.

17.4 Players, music, game assets and sponsor marks need the permission that fits the real use. A party may ask the other to fix or remove a clear infringement or a false claim of endorsement.

18 Statistics, Class and Player Rating

18.1 Round One calculates Class, Player Rating and EPS from league and tournament matches. Scrims never count. These are Round One's own measures. They can contain errors and are not a promise of rank, eligibility, performance or earnings.

18.2 The Organizer may show Class and Player Rating as they appear on Round One. The Organizer must not change them, make its own look like Round One's, or use them to refuse a player in a way that breaks the law or its own published rules without a fair chance to explain.

18.3 TradeBack team data is private to the team unless the team has turned on shared stats. An Organizer must not demand or use private TradeBack data.

19 Account security

19.1 The Organizer must use its own account, keep sign-in details private, give staff and mods only the access they need, and remove people who leave. Staff tools on Round One need an authenticator app as a second factor.

19.2 The Organizer must tell Round One without delay, and within 24 hours of finding out, about a suspected account takeover or leaked credentials. Neither party guarantees perfect security.

20 Service standards and disclaimers

20.1 Round One will provide the services it describes with reasonable care. Except as this agreement and the law require, Round One provides the services as available, without a promise of uninterrupted use, error free results, any particular number of teams, viewers or sponsors, or any particular outcome, to the extent the law allows.

20.2 The Organizer should keep its own copies of its rules, schedule, results and messages, and a plan for what to do if the site is down. Hosts, game servers, networks and other providers can fail. Round One will help with a real platform problem within its role, but does not promise a response time or a credit.

21 Limits on Round One's liability

21.1 TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, THE ORGANIZER RELEASES ROUND ONE AND ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS AND VOLUNTEERS, WHEN ACTING IN THEIR ROUND ONE ROLES, FROM THE ORGANIZER'S CLAIMS FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST OPPORTUNITY, GOODWILL OR EXPECTED WINNINGS THAT COME FROM ORDINARY PLATFORM PROBLEMS, SUCH AS DOWNTIME, DELAYED MESSAGES, A STATISTIC OR RATING THAT NEEDS CORRECTION, A TEAM WITHDRAWING, A SCHEDULE DISRUPTION OR AN ORDINARY MISTAKE. This release covers the Organizer's own claims only. It does not release anyone else's claims.

21.2 TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, ROUND ONE AND THE PEOPLE IN SECTION 21.1 ARE NOT LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSS, WHATEVER THE LEGAL THEORY.

21.3 THEIR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR CLAIMS FROM THE SAME EVENT OR RELATED ACTS IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF USD 1,000 OR THE ROUND ONE FEES THE ORGANIZER PAID FOR THE AFFECTED EVENT IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM. Related claims do not multiply the cap.

21.4 SECTIONS 21.1 TO 21.3 DO NOT LIMIT LIABILITY FOR FRAUD, INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT, GROSS NEGLIGENCE, RECKLESS, WILLFUL OR WANTON CONDUCT, ANY LIABILITY THE LAW DOES NOT ALLOW TO BE LIMITED, OR A DUTY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT THAT ROUND ONE IS REQUIRED TO PERFORM. Round One does not hold the Organizer's entry fees or prizes, so this agreement does not make Round One liable for them.

21.5 These limits apply to the Organizer only. They do not remove any right that a team, player or other person has against the Organizer or the law.

22 Organizer indemnification

22.1 The Organizer will protect Round One and the people in section 21.1 against third party claims, and reasonable defense costs, to the extent caused by the Organizer's event, including: false or misleading listings, unpaid or unfunded prizes, refunds it did not make, unlawful event operations, who played in its events and whether they were allowed to (section 10A), paid-contest, gambling and tax laws, missing guardian permission, missing permissions (including from Ubisoft), infringing content, misuse of participant data, breach of this agreement, and conduct of its staff and mods.

22.2 Round One must give prompt notice of a claim and reasonable cooperation at the Organizer's expense. The Organizer controls the defense with competent counsel that Round One can reasonably accept. Round One may take part at its own cost. The Organizer cannot settle in a way that admits fault for Round One, restricts it or does not fully release it, without Round One's written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld.

22.3 The Organizer does not have to cover losses caused by Round One's own breach, negligence or misconduct.

23 Term, suspension and termination

23.1 This agreement continues until ended. Either party may end it for future use on 30 days' written notice. That notice does not cancel an event already open for registration or erase duties already owed. The Organizer must complete the event or cancel it properly under section 15, with refunds and prizes handled as promised.

23.2 Round One may suspend an Organizer, an event listing or a staff member right away for a safety concern, fraud, illegality, a threat to participants, a serious breach, an unfunded or unpaid prize promise or refund that has been ignored, a breach of the publisher's rules, an unpaid Round One invoice (section 9A.6), fee avoidance (section 9A.9), or an order from a court or authority. Round One may end this agreement for a serious breach, or for any breach not fixed within 10 days of a written notice if it can be fixed. The Organizer may end it for Round One's serious breach on the same fix period. A suspension must be fair and reviewed, and is not a forfeiture of what the Organizer is owed.

23.3 On ending, each party stops accepting new obligations in the other's name, and the Organizer remains responsible for refunds, prizes, and promises it already made. Round One will give the Organizer a reasonable export of event records it can lawfully see, such as brackets and results, but not private participant data (section 12). Round One does not have to hand over source code or keep every replay forever.

23.4 Sections that by their nature continue after the end (including 9, 9A, 10, 10A, 12, 14, 21, 22, 25 and 28) continue. Ending the agreement, losing an account or closing an organization does not erase a debt or a prize or refund promise.

24 Events beyond reasonable control

24.1 A party is excused from late performance of non-money duties only to the extent something beyond its reasonable control prevents it despite reasonable steps, prompt notice and a real effort to limit the damage, such as a natural disaster, a government order, a long power or network failure, or the game being shut down. Lack of money, a missing sponsor, poor sign-ups or avoidable staff shortages do not count.

24.2 This section does not excuse the Organizer from refunds or prizes it already owes. If an event is interrupted for more than 14 days, the Organizer must decide whether to finish or cancel and tell the teams.

25 Resolving disputes between Round One and the Organizer

25.1 Talk first. Before starting a legal case, the party with the complaint must send a written notice saying what happened, what it wants and who to contact. The parties will try in good faith to resolve it for 30 days. This does not stop an urgent protective filing, a legal report, or action to save a deadline.

25.2 Small claims. After the 30 days, either party may bring the claim in a small claims court that has authority over it.

25.3 Courts. A claim too big for small claims court goes to the state courts in Clermont County, Ohio, or, if federal jurisdiction exists, the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio. Both parties agree to those courts. Either party may also ask a court for urgent temporary relief to protect safety, evidence or confidentiality.

25.4 TO THE EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, EACH PARTY WAIVES A JURY TRIAL ON CLAIMS BETWEEN THEM UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, AND EACH PARTY BRINGS ITS OWN CLAIMS ONLY IN ITS OWN NAME.

25.5 Unpaid Round One invoices may be collected under section 9A.6 without waiting for the 30 days in 25.1.

25.6 This section is about disputes between Round One and the Organizer. It does not bind a team, player or other person who has not agreed to it, and it does not replace the match dispute process in section 8.

26 Notices

26.1 Legal notices go by email to the notice email in section 1 and by post to the address there, or to a signed update. A notice by email counts when delivery is confirmed by a person's reply or a reliable delivery record, and no failure notice arrives. Where receipt is uncertain, use tracked post. Round One alerts on the site are not a legal notice.

26.2 Day to day messages may use the site, Match Rooms and the contact channels. A person claiming to speak for the other party cannot change this agreement or promise money just by saying so.

27 Relationship and assignment

27.1 The parties are independent. This agreement does not create a partnership, joint venture, employment or agency. The Organizer is not Round One's agent and Round One is not the Organizer's.

27.2 The Organizer may not assign this agreement or give control of its organizer account to someone else without Round One's written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld. Round One may assign it to a successor in a real merger or sale of the business, on notice, if the successor takes on the duties.

27.3 Teams, players, sponsors, publishers and viewers are not parties to this agreement and do not get rights under it, other than what the law gives them. Protected Round One people can rely on the sections that protect them.

28 Law and general terms

28.1 Ohio law governs this agreement without applying conflict rules that defeat that choice, subject to federal law and mandatory protections elsewhere. This does not mean an event is lawful everywhere.

28.2 This agreement, with the event page the Organizer published, is the whole agreement on its subject and replaces version 4 and earlier drafts. A change must be agreed by both parties in writing or by a recorded acceptance. Round One may update this agreement for future events with at least 30 days' notice. Continued use after the notice period for a new event is acceptance; an event already open for registration keeps the old terms. A later website edit, Discord message or code setting does not change this agreement.

28.3 If a part is unenforceable, it is cut back only as far as needed and the rest stays. A late enforcement is not a waiver. The headings are only for finding things. "Including" means including without limit. Electronic signatures and counterparts are fine, and each party must get a copy.

Signatures and acknowledgments

By accepting, the Organizer confirms it has read this agreement, named the right legal party, and had a chance to ask questions and get its own legal advice.
