1. Introduction and Acceptance

1.1 Introduction.  These Rules are designed to protect the Event, and are intended to help ensure that it is fun, fair, and free from Toxic Behavior (as defined in Section 8.1).

1.2 Acceptance of these Rules.  A player (or, if a Minor, such player’s Guardian) may accept these Rules by completing and signing the Fortnite Mobile SeriesChampionship Player Participation Form (“Player Participation Form”) provided by Event Administrators (as defined below). By participating in any game or Match that is part of the Event, a player is confirming that he or she (or, if a Minor, his or her Guardian) has accepted these Rules pursuant to this Section 1.2. References to “you,” “your,” and “each player” mean you and, if you are a Minor (as defined in Section 1.3), your parent or legal guardian, as the case may be. 

These Rules also apply to each player’s Guardian.  Participation in the Event by a player is conditioned on the acceptance of these Rules by the Guardian of such player.

1.3 Minors.  If you are under 18 years of age (or the age of majority as defined in your country of residence) (a “Minor”), you must have permission from your parent or legal guardian to agree to these Rules and to participate in the Event. In addition, if you are a Minor, your parent or legal guardian must also agree to these Rules on behalf of themselves and your behalf. If you’re the parent or guardian of a Minor, you need to accept the Rules. If you accept the Rules as the parent or guardian of a Minor, you confirm you’re the Minor’s parent or legal guardian and you agree to supervise and be fully responsible for their participation in the Event, including compliance with these Rules.

1.4 Changes to the Rules.  Epic may update, revise, change, or modify these Rules from time to time. For each player, his or her participation in the Event after any update, revision, change, or modification to these Rules will be deemed acceptance by such player (or, if a Minor, such player’s Guardian) of these Rules as updated, revised, changed, or modified.

2. Event Structure

2.1 Key Terms.  

“Cabined Account” means an Epic Games Cabined Account.

“Elimination” means an occurrence where one player entirely depletes the HP and Shield (if any) of another player. Subject to Section 7.1.2, Elimination credit is determined by (a) the action feed located at the bottom left corner of the gameplay screen, and (b) the UI illustrating the total number of Eliminations earned during a single Match.  However, Elimination credit shall not be awarded to a player for any portion of a match following such player’s Elimination.

“Event Administrator” means any Epic employee or member of the admin team, broadcast team, production team, event staff, or anyone else otherwise employed or contracted for the purpose of running the Event (including, without limitation, BLAST ApS (“BLAST”)). Players must follow instructions of Event Administrators at all times. In the event of a dispute, the Event Administrator has the final decision.

“Leaderboard” means the in-game leaderboard for each Session.

“Match” means a single instance of competition within Fortnite that is played until a player or team achieves a Victory Royale.

"Region” means the matchmaking region in which the Event is hosted.  There are currently seven (7) regions: North America-Central (NAC); North America-West (NAW); Europe (EU); Asia (ASIA); Brazil (BR); Middle East (ME); Oceania (OCE).

“Solo” means a “Solo” setting.

“Session” means a set of matches that is played until a winner or multiple winners are determined by one of the following methods: (a) completion of a set number of matches or (b) completion of a set time period.

“Victory Royale”  means an occurrence where a player or team meets the victory conditions of the current game mode of the match being played. Typically, this refers to obtaining a first-place placement finish.

2.2 Event Format and Scoring.

2.2.1 Format Summary.

The Fortnite Mobile Series Championship will be played using “Solos” and “Reload” game mode settings. Players will compete in two (2) Sessions (“Day 1” and “Day 2”) during the Event as outlined by Event Administrators. Points earned from each Session will be added together to determine the total score for the Event. The Event will use a Match Point mechanic, meaning the first player to earn a Victory Royale while starting a Match above the Match Point threshold, as described in Section 2.2.2, will win the Event, regardless of total score. All remaining players will place in the order of their total score for the Event.

2.2.2 Format

Players may participate in a maximum of twelve (12) Matches during Day 1’s Session and a maximum of fifteen (15) Matches during Day 2’s Session for a total maximum of twenty-seven (27) Matches across the Event. Each Day’s Session will last approximately four (4) hours, with a new Match starting every ten (10) minutes. After three (3) Matches on Day 1, there will be a brief recess before the following three (3) Matches are played for Day 1's Session. After six (6) Matches on Day 1, there will be an extended recess before the following three (3) Matches are played for Day 1’s Session. After nine (9) Matches on Day 1, there will be a brief recess before the end of the Session.

Players may participate in a maximum of fifteen (15) Matches during Day 2's Session, with a new Match starting every ten (10) minutes. After three (3) Matches on Day 2, there will be a brief recess before the following three (3) Matches are played for Day 2's Session. After six (6) Matches on Day 2, there will be an extended recess before the following three (3) Matches are played for Day 2’s Session. After nine (9) Matches on Day 2, there will be a brief recess before the following three (3) Matches are played for Day 2’s Session. Matches thirteen (13), fourteen (14), and fifteen (15) will be played only as provided below. Should these matches be played, there will be a brief recess after twelve (12) Matches on Day 2.

Prior to the start of Day 2's Session, a Match Point Threshold will be set, equal to one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the total points held by the first-place player on the leaderboard at the conclusion of Day 1's Session. If the Match Point Threshold is not a whole number, it will be rounded up to the nearest whole number. This threshold is fixed for the remainder of the Tournament and will not be recalculated once Day 2's Session begins.

Any player that starts a Match already above the Match Point Threshold and earns a Victory Royale in that Match will automatically win the Event, and the Tournament will end immediately. A Victory Royale earned by a player at or below the Match Point Threshold at the start of the Match does not trigger an automatic win; the Tournament continues and the win is scored on the points leaderboard as normal.

Immediately following the twelfth (12th) Match of Day 2's Session, provided no automatic win has occurred, the Tournament will proceed as follows. If fewer than two (2) players have crossed the Match Point Threshold, the Tournament will end immediately, Matches thirteen (13), fourteen (14), and fifteen (15) will not be played, and final placements will be determined by the points leaderboard. If two (2) or more players have crossed the Match Point Threshold, the Tournament will enter Overtime.

Overtime consists of Matches thirteen (13), fourteen (14), and fifteen (15) of Day 2's Session. If any player earns a Victory Royale while starting a Match above the Match Point Threshold, that player will automatically win the Event, and the Tournament will end immediately. If no Qualifying player earns a Victory Royale by the conclusion of the fifteenth (15th) Match, the Tournament will end and final placements will be determined by the points leaderboard at the end of that applicable Day's Session. If a player fails to queue for the playlist and/or misses the start time for a given Match, it will be considered to have finished in (or tied for) last place with zero Eliminations for that missed Match. Players will earn points based on the scoring system listed in Attachment A.

2.2.3 Tiebreakers.

Tiebreakers will be determined in the order presented here: (1) total points scored; (2) total Victory Royales in the Session; (3) average eliminations in the Session; (4) average placement per Match in the Session; and finally (5) total seconds survived across all Matches. 

2.3 Schedule.  The tentative schedule and dates for Events is set forth in Attachment B.  Dates may be changed; final dates and times will be displayed in-game.

2.4 Rescheduling.  Epic may, in its sole discretion, change the schedule, the date and/or the game mode for any Match or Session of the Event. However, Epic will inform players of any changes at its earliest convenience.

2.5 Prizes.

2.5.1 Fortnite Mobile Series Championship.  Subject to Section 2.5.2, prizes will be awarded to each player based on their placement within the Leaderboard at the conclusion of the Event. The specific prize awards are set forth in Attachment C.

2.5.2   Prize Restricted Regions.  NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING OR ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THESE RULES TO THE CONTRARY, IF YOU ARE AN INDIVIDUAL RESIDING IN TURKEY OR RUSSIA (EACH, A “PRIZE RESTRICTED REGION”), YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR NOR ENTITLED TO WIN ANY PRIZES IN CONNECTION WITH THE EVENT.

2.5.3 Prizing Information.

Only eligible, ranked players who do not reside in a Prize Restricted Region (as determined by Epic in its sole discretion) will be eligible to receive the applicable prizes set forth in Section 2.5.1 (“Winning Players”). No other player will be entitled to win any prizes in connection with the Event.

Prizes are awarded “as is” with no warranty or guarantee, either express or implied.  Prizes are not transferable or assignable and cannot be transferred by Winning Players.  Non-cash prizes (if any) cannot be redeemed for cash.  All prize details are at the sole discretion of Epic.  Winning Players are not entitled to any surplus between actual retail value of prize and approximate retail value, and any difference between approximate and actual value of the prize will not be awarded.  Winning Players are responsible for any costs and expenses associated with prize acceptance and use not specified herein as being provided.  Winning Players may not substitute a prize, but Epic reserves the right, at its sole discretion, in case of justified reasons, to substitute a prize (or portion thereof) with one of comparable or greater value.  Additional terms and conditions may apply to acceptance and use of a prize.

Potential Winning Players will be notified by Epic of their status as a potential Winning Player at the email address associated with such players’ Epic Games Account (“Epic Account”) within thirty (30) days of completion of the applicable Event Session, or such other time as reasonably required by Epic for such notification, and will be subject to verification of eligibility pursuant to Section 3 and compliance with these Rules.  Potential Winning Players must keep the Epic Account that they used to compete in the Event active throughout the verification of eligibility process.

Upon formal notification from Epic, a potential Winning Player shall have forty five (45) days from the date such notice was emailed to respond and provide (1) any information or materials requested by Epic for purposes of verification of eligibility pursuant to Section 3 and (2) the Release (as defined below).  Such response from a potential Winning Player must be delivered to the email address from which Epic’s notification was sent or, at Epic’s sole option, another email address specified in the notification.  The date of receipt by Epic shall be decisive for a potential Winning Player’s compliance with the deadlines set forth in this Section 2.5.3.

In the event of (a) the failure by any such player to (i) keep the Epic Account that such player used to compete in the Event active throughout the verification of eligibility process or (ii) timely respond to any notification or request for materials or information; or (b) any such player being unable to accept or receive the prize for any reason (including for failure to satisfy eligibility requirements at all times throughout participation in the Event up until the receipt of prize or for failure to provide the necessary tax and payment information through Epic’s approved tax and payment processing vendors), or (c) finding the player has violated the Competitive Integrity rules (or any equivalent rules as the case may be) for any past event (“Past Event”) organized by Epic, if the prizes for such Past Event have not yet been paid to such player, then such player shall be disqualified as a potential Winning Player, and such player shall not be entitled to win any prizes in connection with the Event or Past Events.  In such cases, no alternate Winning Player will be named, and Epic shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to (y) award any prize amounts that would have otherwise been awarded to such disqualified player as part of a future Game competitive event or (z) award any such prize amounts to non-profit causes and efforts.  A Winning Player will only be announced once the verification of eligibility process has been completed by Epic pursuant to these Rules.

Winning Players will also be required to provide certain payment information to Epic, including any required tax information forms, in order to receive the prizes. Epic may withhold payment of the prizes if the Winning Player fails to provide the applicable payment forms to Epic in a timely manner.  

PRIZES ARE SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE INTERNATIONAL, FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL TAXES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, INCOME AND WITHHOLDING TAXES) AND IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF EACH WINNING PLAYER TO (I) CHECK WITH SUCH WINNING PLAYER’S LOCAL TAX ADVISOR TO DETERMINE WHICH TAXES APPLY TO SUCH WINNING PLAYER AND (II) PAY SUCH TAXES TO THE APPROPRIATE TAX AUTHORITY.  It is Epic's policy to withhold tax at the backup withholding rates in effect for US and non-US residents.  Prize income and tax withholding will be reported on forms (y) 1099-MISC for US residents and 1042-S for non-US residents, and (z) any other relevant tax forms as may be required by applicable law.  

Epic will determine the payment method for the prizes in its sole discretion and, except as otherwise required by applicable law, all payments will be made directly to the Winning Player in such Winning Player’s capacity as an individual (or, if a Minor, to the Winning Player’s parent or legal guardian).  No prize payments will be made by Epic to any organization, company, or other entity.  Each Winning Player will be provided a Prize Acceptance and Release Form (“Release”).  Unless restricted by applicable law, each Winning Player (or, if a Minor, such Winning Player’s parent or legal guardian) will be required to complete and submit the Release in accordance with the deadlines set forth in this Section 2.5.3.  In addition, by accepting a prize, the Winning Player agrees (or such Winning Player’s parent or legal guardian agrees) to release Epic from any and all liability, loss, or damage arising from or in connection with awarding, receipt, and/or use or misuse of prize or participation in any prize-related activities.

5.2 Technical Issues.

5.2.1 Due to the nature and scale of Event competition, except as otherwise determined by Epic in its sole discretion, Matches will not be restarted or made null due to Bugs, Intentional Disconnections, or Unintentional Disconnections. Except as otherwise determined by Epic in its sole discretion, any technical issues or Bug encounters, whether defined in this Section 5 or not, must be played through and will not be cause for a remake. For clarity, this means that players should always, to the extent possible, play through a given Match, even if other players are experiencing technical issues as described herein. If a Match or session does not start properly for all players, Event Administrators will communicate any necessary schedule adjustments pursuant to Section 2.3.

5.2.2    Event Administrators will restart a Match if any disconnection issues occur upon initial Match load in. In the event of three (3) or more consecutive restarts, the next Match will be played through even if there are disconnection issues, at the discretion of Event Administrators.

7.1.1    The Fortnite Mobile game client will record and report a player’s score at the conclusion of such player’s participation in a Match.

7.1.3 After a round has ended, Epic may adjust the Leaderboard standings (typically due to players or teams being disqualified and removed from the Leaderboard for breaking these Rules). For advancement purposes, at the end of the applicable Round, the Leaderboard standings will be snapshotted, and those advancements will be immediately awarded and considered “final” for purposes of player or team advancement only, subject in all cases to final adjustment and confirmation by Epic.

8.1    Personal Conduct; No Toxic Behavior

8.1.1    All players and Guardians must conduct themselves in a way that is at all times consistent with (a) the Code of Conduct in this Section 8 (“Code of Conduct”) and (b) the general principles of personal integrity, honesty, good sportsmanship, and sound health and safety.

8.1.2    Players and Guardians must be respectful of other players, Event Administrators, spectators, and sponsors (as applicable).

8.1.3    Players and Guardians shall not behave in a manner that (a) violates these Rules, (b) is disruptive, unsafe or destructive, or (c) is otherwise harmful to the enjoyment of the Fortnite game by other users as intended by Epic (as determined by Epic).

8.1.5    Any violation of these Rules may expose a player or Guardian to disciplinary action as further described in Section 9.3, whether or not that violation was committed intentionally.

8.2    Competitive Integrity

8.2.1    Each player is expected to play within the spirit of the Fortnite game and these Rules at all times during any Match.  Any form of unfair play is prohibited by these Rules, and may result in disciplinary action.  Examples of unfair play include the following:

  • Collusion (as defined below), Match fixing or throwing, bribing a referee or match official, or any other unfair or illegal action or agreement to intentionally influence (or attempt to influence) the outcome of any Match or Event.
  • Hacking or otherwise modifying the intended behavior of the Game client.
  • Playing or allowing another player to play on an Epic Account registered in another person’s name (or soliciting, encouraging, or directing someone else to do so).
  • Using any kind of program, hardware, or tool that has access to the real-time state of the game being played (e.g. through memory, screen recording, screenshots, video, audio, network traffic, files) to gain a competitive advantage is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, aimbots, hardware-assisted cheat devices, input manipulation devices, spoofers, and mods. Overlays that have awareness of the real-time state of the game and provide information or feedback that gives a competitive advantage are prohibited, but overlays that provide general system functionality without awareness of gameplay (such as Discord, and streaming and broadcast software) are okay.
  • Intentionally exploiting any game function (e.g., an in-game bug or glitch) in a manner not intended by Epic in order to gain a competitive advantage.
  • Using distributed denial of service attacks, swatting, or similar methods to interfere with another player’s connection to the Fortnite game’s client.
  • Using macro keys or similar methods to automate in-game actions. This does not restrict the ability to bind inputs to actions in the in-game settings.
    • For clarity, macro keys are defined as one physical input resulting in more than one game input. This does not include physical inputs such as a scroll wheel or holding down a key which are continuous physical inputs.
  • Accepting any gift, reward, bribe, or compensation for services promised, rendered, or to be rendered in connection with unfair play of the Game (e.g., services designed to throw or fix a match or session).
