ELIGIBILITY:
MMA Victor fantasy mixed-martial arts tournaments offered by MMA Victor Inc. (each a “Tournament” or “Tournaments”) are open to legal residents in Canada (excluding the Province of Quebec) and of the United States and the District of Columbia (excluding the States of Arizona, Iowa, Louisiana, Maryland, Montana and Vermont) who have reached the age of majority in their province or territory and state of residence at the time of entry and are governed by Canadian or US law. (19 years of age in the States of Alabama and Nebraska.) Employees of MMA Victor Inc. (“MMA Victor”) or other parties involved in any aspect of the creation, production, operation, execution and fulfilment of a Tournament and the immediate family members of such individuals are not eligible to participate and/or win. Participation in a Tournament constitutes the full and unconditional agreement to these Terms and Conditions and the rules for each Tournament (for each Tournament, the “Tournament Rules”).
HOW TO ENTER:
Each Tournament is available to any person who is eligible and who: (i) registers on the Website and becomes a member; (ii) completes the registration process on the Website; (iii) meets the qualifications set forth herein; and (iv) affirmatively accepts these Terms and Conditions and the associated privacy policy.
Each Tournament lasts one (1) day and is based on the mixed-martial arts (“MMA”) tournament which is transpiring live on that particular day. Individuals who participate in a Tournament (each, a “User” or collectively, the “Users”) may purchase any denomination of electronic credits (a “Credit” or “Credits”, as the case may be) which will be deposited into such User’s MMA Victor account (the “Account”) which may be applied to their participation in the applicable Tournament.
All purchases of Credits must be made in C.A.D Dollars.
Each Tournament will only have a limited number of openings, and Users will be accepted on a first come, first serve basis. Any Tournament which does not attract the requisite minimum number of participants will be cancelled prior to commencement.
There is no limit to the number of Tournaments which a User may participate on a given Tournament day.
In the event that any User does not elect to purchase Credits or enter a Tournament via the Free Entry Alternative described below , such User will have access to a free Tournament which will be subject to the same terms as described herein, but which will not be subject to any prize pool.
MMA Victor is not responsible for attempted Tournament registrations that are lost, late, illegible, misdirected, damaged, incomplete or incorrect, or for your failure to participate in, or complete, a scheduled Tournament. If you fail to enter a Tournament, including without limitation where you cannot access the Website for any reason whatsoever, you will not be able to participate in that Tournament. A Users access to and use of the Website or any of the content located on the Website is at the User’s risk and the sole and exclusive remedy for the User is to discontinue accessing and using the Website.
DESCRIPTION OF PLAY:
Choose a Tournament
MMA Victor currently offers individual Tournaments based on live daily events in the following MMA leagues: UFC, Strikeforce, Bellator and Dream.
Make Your Picks
Users will be presented with MMA fighters (a “Fighter” or, collectively, the “Fighters”) in the particular MMA league to which the Tournament applies. Based on the head-to-head matchups in the live daily MMA event to which the Tournament applies, Users will select the following:
- which Fighter will win that fight;
- the method by which the Fighter will win;
- the round in which the Fighter will win; and
- the minute in which the Fighter will win.
Once these selections are made by a User, the Fighter(s) selected will become that User’s “fantasy” team for that Tournament.
To be eligible for a Tournament, all picks must be received by MMA Victor no later than two (2) hours before the actual start of the MMA event to which the Tournament applies.
PRIZES:
Each User will earn points based on the scoring system described below for each Tournament. The specific scoring system for each Tournament, and the number of winners, will be predetermined and set forth in the applicable Tournament Rules. MMA Victor will be responsible for tallying the points for each Tournament based on the reporting of Fighter performance provided by each applicable MMA league. The winner(s) of any Tournament, as determined by MMA Victor, will receive the applicable prize, less ten percent (10%), to be paid out as a deposit into the User’s PayPal® account; provided, however, that PayPal® may deduct a service fee in connection with such deposits. In the event that the prize is $100 or greater, MMA Victor may elect, in its sole discretion, to mail a cheque of the applicable prize to the winner. The User is responsible for paying any sales, use, income or other taxes related to prizes awarded to the User in connection with any Tournament.
The value of the prize per Tournament will be a pre-determined fixed amount, which will vary depending upon which Tournament the User participates in. Tournament prize pools will be maintained by MMA Victor in a separate trust account, and Users will not be entitled to receive a larger prize by reason of the fact that other Users have applied Credits in order to participate in the Tournament. Users should check the description of each Tournament for a description of its particular prize prior to entering.
