WWE2k26 Championship - Sep 10, 2026 2:00 PM

1. ELIGIBILITY

• Players must be at least 18 years old to participate in reward-based PlayerSaloons competitions.

• Players must have a valid PlayerSaloons account.

• Players must have a valid game account in good standing.

• Players must have legitimate access to the game on the platform stated in the tournament listing.

• Players must comply with the applicable game and platform terms of service.

• PlayerSaloons may require identity verification.

2. REGISTRATION AND PARTICIPATION

• Players must register through PlayerSaloons and complete all required participation steps before the tournament begins.

• Participation may require PlayerSaloons website credits as stated in the tournament listing.

• Only one PlayerSaloons account is permitted per person.

• Account sharing, duplicate accounts, false accounts, or attempts to manipulate competitions are prohibited.

• BYEs may be assigned automatically where necessary depending on the number of registered players.

3. INSUFFICIENT PLAYER PARTICIPATION AND PRIZE RECALCULATION

• A tournament does not necessarily have to reach its maximum player capacity in order to proceed.

• If the tournament is not fully joined by the registration cut-off or scheduled start time, PlayerSaloons reserves the right to continue the tournament with the available eligible players.

• The system may automatically assign BYEs, adjust pairings, reduce the effective bracket size, or otherwise restructure the tournament so the competition can proceed fairly.

• Where the tournament does not reach the originally expected number of participants, the final prize may be recalculated based on the actual number of eligible players participating.

• The recalculated prize may therefore be lower than the prize originally displayed for a fully subscribed tournament.

• PlayerSaloons may adjust the prize, bracket structure, pairings, and competition format where reasonably necessary because of insufficient participation, cancellation, no-shows, technical problems, or other legitimate operational reasons.

• The final applicable prize should be displayed or communicated by PlayerSaloons before prize distribution.

• By participating in a tournament, players acknowledge that the prize may be recalculated where the tournament is not fully subscribed.

4. MATCH START

• Players must be ready to begin within 5 minutes of the scheduled or system-assigned match time.

• Failure to begin within the permitted grace period may result in an automatic forfeit.

• Each match must be completed within the time window stated in the tournament listing unless otherwise specified.

5. HOW TO PLAY

• Add or invite your opponent using the applicable platform or in-game ID where required.

• Launch the game.

• Enter the approved competitive or match mode stated in the tournament listing.

• Confirm that both players are ready.

• Confirm the required match settings before starting.

• Start the match only once both players are ready.

6. MATCH FORMAT

• The tournament listing determines the applicable platform, match type, game mode, and competition settings.

• Players must use the platform or compatible cross-play platform group stated in the tournament listing.

• Players may not participate using an incompatible platform.

• Standard competitive settings apply unless otherwise stated in the tournament listing.

• Any prohibited custom content, modified settings, unauthorized software, controller modifications, macros, scripts, automated inputs, or other unfair modifications are prohibited.

7. WINNING THE MATCH

• The official in-game result determines the winner unless PlayerSaloons determines otherwise following a dispute or evidence review.

• The winner of each confirmed match automatically advances to the next round.

• The tournament continues until a final winner is determined.

8. RESULT REPORTING

• Match results must be reported immediately after completion.

• When the first player submits a result, the opponent has 5 minutes from the time of that first result report to either:

 – confirm the reported result; or

 – submit their own result or dispute.

• If the opponent does not respond within the 5-minute period, PlayerSaloons may treat the first reported result as accepted.

• The non-reporting or non-responding player may automatically lose the round or competition.

• Players must therefore remain available after their match and check PlayerSaloons for a submitted opponent result.

• Results must be truthful and accurate.

• Players should retain screenshots or video evidence showing the final result, usernames or IDs, and any relevant dispute or disconnect evidence.

• False result reporting may result in forfeiture, disqualification, suspension, prize reversal, or account closure.

9. AUTOMATIC NEXT ROUND

• Once a result is confirmed, the winner should automatically advance to the next round.

• Where BYEs apply, players receiving a BYE automatically advance according to the generated bracket.

• If a result is disputed, the affected branch of the tournament may be paused until PlayerSaloons issues a ruling.

10. DISPUTED RESULTS

• If the two players submit conflicting results, the match may be placed into Result Disputed status.

• Neither player should advance until the dispute is resolved.

• PlayerSaloons may request screenshots, videos, game records, timestamps, communications, or other relevant evidence.

• PlayerSaloons may confirm or correct a result, order a replay, award a win, issue a forfeit, disqualify a player, or take another appropriate action.

• PlayerSaloons administrators have final authority on competition rulings, except where applicable law requires otherwise.

11. FAIR PLAY

The following are prohibited:

• Cheating, hacks, scripts, macros, unauthorized software, or automated inputs

• Exploiting bugs, glitches, or unintended game mechanics

• Unauthorized controller modifications

• Match manipulation

• Collusion

• False result reporting

• Account sharing

• Intentional disconnections

• Excessive or intentional stalling

• Outside assistance or ghosting

• Harassment or abusive conduct

• Any conduct designed to gain an unfair competitive advantage

Violations may result in forfeiture, disqualification, prize cancellation or reversal, suspension, or account closure.

12. PAUSES AND TECHNICAL ISSUES

• Pauses may only be used for genuine technical issues or another legitimate reason.

• Players are responsible for checking their internet connection, controller, game settings, platform compatibility, and account access before the match begins.

• A stable wired/LAN connection is strongly recommended.

• Complaints about settings or technical issues should be raised before meaningful gameplay begins wherever possible.

13. DISCONNECTIONS

• If a disconnect occurs before meaningful gameplay begins, PlayerSaloons may require the match to restart.

• If a disconnect occurs during gameplay, PlayerSaloons may require a replay, allow play to resume, or rule based on the available evidence.

• Intentional disconnects or rage quitting may result in immediate forfeiture.

• Repeated disconnects may result in penalties or account restrictions.

14. PRIZES

• Each tournament listing will display the expected prize for the competition.

• The displayed prize may assume a particular number of registered participants.

• If fewer players participate than originally expected, PlayerSaloons reserves the right to recalculate and adjust the final prize according to the actual number of eligible participants and the applicable competition structure.

• Prizes are awarded based on verified skill-based results and are not determined by chance.

• Prize distribution is subject to result verification, fraud checks, identity verification where required, payment-provider requirements, and applicable compliance procedures.

• If the final is disputed, prize distribution will be suspended until the dispute is resolved.

• PlayerSaloons may withhold, reverse, or adjust a prize where fraud, cheating, false reporting, collusion, payment issues, or rule violations are identified.

15. WITHDRAWAL, NO-SHOWS AND CANCELLATION

• Players must follow the cancellation and refund conditions stated for the tournament.

• Failure to appear for a scheduled match may result in forfeiture.

• If PlayerSaloons cancels the tournament before it begins, applicable participation credits may be returned according to the refund policy.

• Where a tournament can continue with fewer players, PlayerSaloons may choose to continue the tournament rather than cancel it.

16. CONDUCT

• Treat opponents and PlayerSaloons staff with respect.

• Harassment, threats, abusive language, intimidation, or discriminatory conduct are prohibited.

• Players must compete honestly and in good faith.

• Players must comply with PlayerSaloons instructions and rulings.

17. DISPUTES

• Match-result disputes must be raised immediately through the applicable PlayerSaloons reporting or dispute function.

• Supporting evidence should be submitted wherever possible.

• Late disputes may be rejected where the player failed to act within the required reporting period.

• PlayerSaloons administrators have final authority on match and tournament decisions, subject to applicable law.

18. PLAYER RESPONSIBILITY

• Players are responsible for knowing their tournament schedule.

• Players are responsible for using the correct game version and compatible platform.

• Players are responsible for maintaining access to their account, game, console or PC, internet connection, and required platform services.

• PlayerSaloons is not responsible for third-party game-server outages, console-network outages, external platform failures, or other issues outside PlayerSaloons’ reasonable control.
