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 sixty (60) 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.

3.2.1 All members of a team that are eligible to receive a prize as set forth in Section 2 must meet the eligibility requirements set out in Section 3 in order to be eligible to receive such prizes.

However, if a team member resides within a Prize Restricted Region, that shall not automatically force a disqualification of the other team member as a Potential Winning Player.
3.2.2 Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, all of the Event Administrators’ rights pursuant to these Rules relate to and are exercisable against the team as a whole and each individual member of the team. If any right of disqualification arises as to any individual member of the team, then the Event Administrator may exercise the right of disqualification against the team as a whole.
3.2.3 Earned qualification spots (as applicable) cannot be transferred, sold, traded, or gifted to any person or organization. This means that earned qualification spots will always be connected directly to the entire team as a whole.
3.2.4 Each member of a team shall be deemed to have jointly and severally made and entered into all of the representations, warranties, and agreements contained herein and shall be jointly and severally obligated and bound thereby. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, all of the Event Administrators’ rights pursuant to these Rules relate to and are exercisable against the team as a whole and each individual member of the team. If any right of disqualification arises as to any individual member of the team, then the right of disqualification may be exercised against the team as a whole, as the Event Administrators may elect in their sole discretion.
