3. Minimum Player Entries
Fury League is a skill based competition offering cash prizes. These prizes are being offered by Auran to encourage players to play the latest improvements and updates to Fury.
In order to commence the competition, a minimum of two thousand (2,000) players must complete at least ten (10) matches in either the Vortex or Elimination 4v4 game types between May 13, 2008 at 2008 at 12:01pm American Pacific Standard Time (APST -- UTC - 8) and the commencement of the First Contest Period (the "Minimum Entries").
If less than 2,000 players complete ten (10) matches during this period, then Fury League will be cancelled or postponed at our sole discretion.
The games played prior to the First Contest Period do not count towards prizes in any way, and players who do not play ten games during this period are still eligible to enter Fury League.
Winners of Fury League will be based solely on your performance during the Contest Period, in accordance with clauses 5 and 6 of these Rules.
4. How to Enter Fury League
To enter you must (a) be eligible in accordance with clause 1 of the Rules, (b) agree to these Rules, and (c) hold a Fury account.
Players may only enter Fury League once. Any use of duplicate accounts will disqualify all accounts related to that player. Players will be asked to verify their name and address prior to allocation of prizes.
If you do not hold a Fury account, visit www.FuryLeague.com ("How To Enter") to sign-up.
5. How to Win
Fury League is exclusively a contest of skill to determine the best individual players of Fury during the Contest Period based upon final Ladder position (as defined below).
For Fury League, we will operate only one ladder at a time. During the First Contest Period, the Vortex game type Ladder will operate. Winners will be determined by player position on the Ladder at the end of the First Contest Period. During the Second Contest Period, the Elimination 4v4 game type Ladder will operate. Winners will be determined by player position on the Ladder at the end of the relevant Contest Period. (i.e performance on the Elimination Ladder during the First Contest Period does not count and performance on the Vortex Ladder during the Second Contest Period does not count
An individual entrant's final position on any particular Ladder is based on his or her best-10 performances in the relevant game type over the course of the relevant Contest Period. For clarity, only games played during the relevant Contest Period, and his or her best-10 performances in such game type during that period will be used to determine his or her position on the relevant Ladder.
We may post live Ladder standings during the First Contest Period and the Second Contest Period but only the final Ladder standings at the end of the Second Contest Period will determine Fury League winners.
A player's score in any game is based on their skill rating versus their opponent's skill as determined using Auran's implementation of the GLlCKO-2 system, or such other system or method as we may in our sole discretion determine. Generally, defeating other individuals will result in a better score than being defeated; defeating another player with a high skill rating will result in a better score than defeating another player with a low skill rating; and losing to a more highly rated player will result in a better score than losing to a player with a lower skill rating.
6. Prizes
Prizes will be awarded to the top players on the Vortex Ladder at the end of the First Contest Period and to the top players on the Elimination Ladder at the end of the Second Contest Period.
There are no Clan-based prizes for this Fury League season.
Specific prizes will be announced on www.FuryLeague.com on or before the commencement of the First Contest Period.
Prizes will be delivered by means of email to the player's registered Fury Account email Billing Address. Player's must ensure that they have an active PayPal account and that their Fury Account email Billing Address matches their Paypal account email.
Players who do not have a valid Paypal account or use the incorrect or non-matching email address for their Auran or Paypal account will forfeit their prize. We are under no obligation to reallocate those prizes that are not redeemed.
We are under no obligation to distribute prizes if, in our reasonable opinion, there are no winners. Circumstances in which we would not be obligated to distribute prizes include, but are not limited to, where (a) there is cheating by multiple or an indeterminate number of persons which makes it impossible to conclusively determine winners, or (b) there are technical, hardware, software, communications, network, connectivity or other problems which interfere or prevent Fury League from operating as intended.
Prizes may only be redeemable by those who have established a Fury account with us in accordance with the Terms of Use. And who meet the eligibility requirements and payment requirements outlined in these conditions.
