Please review these Official Rules carefully. You must agree to the terms contained in these Official Rules in order to participate in the Tournament. Participation in the Tournament by you constitutes your full, unconditional and irrevocable agreement to and acceptance of these Official Rules.

3. TOURNAMENT OVERVIEW AND STRUCTURE

The Tournament will take place from the Start Time to August 23, 2021, 5:30 pm UTC. Tennis Clash players who enter the Tournament will need to access and use the “Tournament Platform”, which will be on the Tennis Clash App (“App”) which is owned and operated by Wildlife Studios. Tennis Clash players are solely responsible for any costs they may incur in accessing the App. Use of the Tournament Platform is subject to the Wildlife Terms of Service.

a. Non-Tournament features for new players:

i. Tennis Clash Coins:

Tennis Clash in-game coins (“Tennis Clash Coins”) are promotional in-game features that have no real-world value and may not be redeemed or exchanged for cash or any other item of value. Tennis Clash Coins are acquired through playing Tennis Clash in non-Tournament play. There are four (4) ways to obtain Tennis Clash Coins as part of non-Tournament play:

• win ranked matches while playing Tennis Clash;
• open in-game bags while playing Tennis Clash;
• watch video advertisements within the App;
• purchase Tennis Clash Coins with Tennis Clash Gems in the App.

 

ii. Tennis Clash Gems:

Tennis Clash Gems are promotional in-game features that can be obtained in two ways:

• open in-game bags while playing Tennis Clash;
• purchase them in the in-App store with real money.

Tennis Clash Gems may not be exchanged for cash or any other item of value.

 

iii. Tennis Clash Cards:

Each Tennis Clash player collects Tennis Clash Cards of character, racket, grip, shoe, wristband, nutrition and workout, through opening Tennis Clash Bags or getting them with Tennis Clash Gems in the in-App store. Each of these cards has a skill level which can be upgraded, increasing how much they affect a player’s Tennis Clash “Attributes” – forehand, backhand, volley, serve, agility and stamina.

 

iv. Tournament Entry

The Tournament has no entry fee. Instead, Tennis Clash Coins are required to play matches in the Tournament.

 

v. Tournament Goal.

Tennis Clash players will compete to accumulate points and win prizes in accordance with these Official Rules.

 

vi. Tournament Level Placements.

The Tournament consists of three independent levels (each a “Tournament Level”). The number of Tennis Clash Coins required for playing matches, will vary depending on the Tournament Level in which the Tennis Clash player is placed.

1. Tournament Rounds.

Each Tournament Level will have two (2) “Tournament Rounds.” Tournament Rounds are played sequentially in the following order:

• Qualifying Round;
• Final Round.

Tennis Clash players compete in up to ten (10) Tournament Matches in the Qualifying Round, and up to twenty (20) Tournament Matches in the Final Round (each, the “Initial Number of Matches”), subject to playing additional Tournament Matches using Tennis Clash Gems as discussed below.

Each “Tournament Match” will be a single instance of competition where two (2) Tennis Clash players compete against one another until one of the two (2) Tennis Clash players achieves ten (10) points by a two point margin or there is a forfeiture, disqualification or disconnect of the other Tennis Clash player as provided in these Official Rules.

 

4. TOURNAMENT FORMAT

a. Tournament Level Assignments

Tennis Clash players will need to have the minimum number of the Tennis Clash Coins per Tournament Match in order to play.

Tournament Level	Minimum Number of Tennis Clash Coins needed per Tournament Match
Rookie	2,000
Junior	20,000
Challenger	200,000

 

b. Tennis Clash Player Skill Levels

To assure competitive fairness across each Tournament Level, there is a maximum skill level allowed for the use of Tennis Clash Cards (“Cap“). Tennis Clash Cards which have a higher skill level than the Tournament Level’s Cap will have their skill level reduced to the Tournament Level’s Cap during the Tournament Matches only. Each Tournament Level’s Cap is shown in the chart below.

 

c. Outcome of Tournament Matches

For each Tournament Match, Tennis Clash players will receive a certain amount of Tennis Clash Coins when they win the Tournament Match described in the chart below. Tennis Clash players win by achieving ten (10) points in a Tennis Clash match first with a two-point margin. Tennis Clash players’ total score for a Tournament Round is based on the amount of Tennis Clash points they earn in each Tournament Match during such Round. The Tennis Clash player who wins the Tournament Match will always earn 10 points, and the Tennis Clash player who loses the Tournament Match will earn from 0 to 9 points. However, matches played in the Tennis United Tournament in-game court will be won by the player who first achieves 10 points.

Tournament Level	Cap	Number of Tennis Clash Coins needed per Tournament Match	Number of Tennis Clash Coins awarded for a win
Rookie	Level 5	2,000	4,000
Junior	Level 7	20,000	40,000
Challenger	Level 9	200,000	400,000

 

d. Additional Tournament Matches.

Tennis Clash players are eligible to improve their results by playing additional Tournament Matches in any Round after they have completed the Initial Number of Matches for that Round. To do so, the Tennis Clash players can use Tennis Clash Gems to play extra Tournament Matches. The amount of Tennis Clash Gems needed for the first additional Tournament Match of each Round is fixed for each Tournament Level as provided below. For any subsequent additional Tournament Matches in that Round, Tennis Clash players will need to use four (4) times the last additional Tournament Match Tennis Clash Gem amount they have used. The results for any additional Tournament Matches played in any Round will replace the results of the worst of the Initial Number of Matches for that Round if it will improve the overall result. Wildlife Studios may, in its sole discretion, may restrict any Tennis Clash player from replacing their Tournament Match results or from playing additional Tournament Matches in a given Round.

Tournament Level	Number of Tennis Clash Gems required for the first extra Tournament Match in a given Round	Number of Tennis Clash Gems required for each subsequent Tournament Match in such Round
Rookie	10	4x
Junior	50	4x
Challenger	100	4x

 

e. Scoring Tournaments Rounds and Brackets

Qualifying Round

The first Tournament Round, Qualifying Round, will last 48 hours and 15 minutes – from August 19, 2021, 5 pm UTC to August 21, 2021, 5:15 pm UTC. Tennis Clash players will be distributed in groups of approximately fifty (50) Tennis Clash players (each a “Bracket”) based on their highest achieved Tennis Clash non tournament league and are allowed to play up to twenty (20) Tournament Matches, subject to playing additional Tournament Matches using Tennis Clash Gems as provided above.

Tennis Clash players will advance from Qualifying Round based on their position among other Tennis Clash players within their Brackets. Specifically, for each Tournament Level, a Tennis Clash player’s ranking is determined by the amount of points he or she wins, subject to any tiebreakers. A Tennis Clash player must be in the top 50% of the other Tennis Clash players within his or her Bracket to move on to the Final Round.

 

Final Round

The second and final Tournament Round is the “Final Round,” and will last 48 hours and 15 minutes – from August 21, 2021, 5:15 pm UTC to August 23, 2021, 5:30 pm UTC. Tennis Clash players will be placed in a single group for each Tournament Level. Each Tennis Clash player is permitted to play up to twenty (20) Tournament Matches, subject to playing additional Tournament Matches using Tennis Clash Gems as provided above.

Tennis Clash players’ scores will determine the outcome of the Final Round. The Tennis Clash player scores from Qualifying Round will have no impact on their Final Round result. All players will be eligible to receive an in-game prize as further described below.

 

f. Tiebreakers

Tiebreakers will be determined in the following order based on whoever has:

• A better net points difference, based on the Tennis Clash player’s scored points minus his or her opponent’s scored points (extra Tournament Matches played using Tennis Clash Gems might replace his or her worst results, but won’t increase the number of Tournament Matches considered beyond the applicable Initial Number of Matches);
• the most Tournament Match wins (extra Tournament Matches played using Tennis Clash Gems might replace his or her worst results, but won’t increase the number of Tournament Matches considered beyond the applicable Initial Number of Matches);
• the most Tournament Match wins that end with a score of 10-0 (extra Tournament Matches played using Tennis Clash Gems might replace his or her worst results, but won’t increase the number of Tournament Matches considered beyond the applicable Initial Number of Matches);
