To register, you must go to www._____________________.com during the Registration Period, complete the online registration form.

After you fully and accurately complete the registration form (including providing all requested information about you and the other Eligible Player on your team) and Sponsor receives it during the Registration Period, your team will be registered to compete in the Tournament (“Team”). In no event may an Eligible Player be included in more than one (1) Team. In the event an Eligible Player is registered on more than one (1) Team, Sponsor will in its sole discretion determine the Team for that Eligible Player. In such case, the other Team’s registration will then be terminated and the remaining Eligible Player may re-register: (a) during the Registration Period consistent with the above terms; or (b) if that Eligible Player’s Team is disqualified after the Registration Period and less than 128 teams have registered, up to one (1) hour before start of the Tournament. Sponsor may disqualify any Team at any time if it determines, in its sole discretion, that the Team does not consist of two Eligible Players, did not fully or accurately complete his or her registration form, cannot complete registration fee payment, or for any other reason.

Sponsor is not responsible for lost, late, misdirected registrations or registrations not received regardless of cause. In the event of a dispute over the identity of a registrant, the identity of the entrant will be determined in Sponsor’s sole discretion.
