General Provisions #
These rules inherit all rules from the main rulebook.
These rules apply to all participants of the Valorant tournament.
The rules may be available in several languages. If the individual versions differ, the English version is considered the source of the truth.
Exclusion from participation for banned accounts #
Participation in the tournament is not permitted if a player holds an account banned by Riot Games from participating in VALORANT. This rule aligns with the applicable statutes and guidelines of Riot Games; as tournament organizers, we uphold and require compliance with these standards.
Circumventing an existing ban by using a smurf or secondary account is strictly prohibited. If a player participates in the tournament under these circumstances, the entire team will be disqualified from the tournament.
