REGIONAL QUALIFIERS
• How to Enter:
o Each Regional Qualifiers tournament will consist of a one-day live event competition open to up to eight (8)
Teams each, to be held on February 26, 2017 at Cineplex theatres as described below in Section 7 (a
“regional event”, or “regional events”). The start time for each regional event is approximately 10:00 AM
local time. The exact start time will be communicated to the Team Captain of each registered Team by
email on or before February 24, 2017. Each Team Captain is responsible for communicating dates, times,
and changes to their Team Members.
o A Team may participate in a regional event by designating a Team Captain, and having said Team
Captain navigate to the Website during the Registration Period and click the “Register to Play In-theatre”
button and then select their theatre location preference from the options presented. Available spots are
assigned on a first come, first served basis.
o During registration, the Team Captain must provide a Team Name and complete all required fields,
including but not limited to the legal name, PlayStation ® Network ID (“PSN ID”), email address, phone
o
number, and date of birth of each Team Member. Only Entrants whose PSN IDs match those registered
by the Team Captain are eligible to play in the Tournament. Any Team playing at any stage of the
Tournament, with a Team Member whose PSN ID does not match any of those registered by the Team
Captain, will be disqualified and will not be eligible to continue in the Tournament, or if applicable, receive
a prize. Each Entrant permits the Administrator to verify that his/her name is registered to the PSN ID
used to enter the Tournament. In the event Administrator is unable to conclusively verify that the name of
an Entrant matches the PSN ID used to enter the Tournament, that Entrant, and his/her Team, will be
disqualified.
The theatre location selected by the Team Captain during the registration process corresponds to the
regional event location that the Team will be required to attend at their sole cost and expense. There are
no exceptions. In the event that any Entrant has entered more than one regional event using the same or
different email addresses or PSN IDs, that Entrant will be disqualified at Administrator’s sole discretion
and will be removed from all tournaments during the Qualifiers by the Administrator.
• How to Play:
o The Regional Qualifiers are open to all eligible Teams. Teams must be willing and available to participate
in the regional event on the date and time advertised by the Administrator at the time of registration, or
they may forfeit their right to participate in said event. Any costs associated with travelling to a regional
event are the responsibility of the Team. Team Member substitutions for regional events, with the
exception of each Team’s Team Captain, will be permitted up until the end of the Registration Period, at
the discretion of the Administrator.
o Teams will only be playing against other Teams that have registered for the same regional event. If a
regional event does not fill to maximum capacity by the designated start time it will still play out in full and
