• Players are required to keep all In-Game Names or aliases appropriate. (ie. ABSOLUTELY NO racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, political, offensive naming, etc.) This will be a ‘Zero Tolerance’ policy and is at the sole discretion of VAL.

• All score submissions, screenshots, player submitted photos, related to the 2020 Pistol Whip tournament become the property of VAL and may be used for marketing and other purposes.  If players or arcades share broadcast material such as twitch streams, tournament photos, tournament videos, etc with VAL, VAL reserves the right to use these in a marketing context.

• VAL reserves the right to change, alter, replace, or modify this rule set at any time, and without prior notification.

• Virtual Reality esports can be an intense physical experience.  Do not enter the competition without following all terms of service, guardian warnings, and other safety measures as outlined in the individual device warnings and manufacturers.  Competitors who are not able to participate in robust physical exercise should not enter the competition.  VR esports is a fun activity, exercise the same caution as regular sports.
