Tournament Rules

• Eligibility: MUDGAMEZ players are eligible to participate unless specifically restricted.
• One Player Identity: Each player may only use one guest session or player identity. Creating multiple identities to gain unfair advantage is strictly prohibited.
• Entry Requirements: Some tournaments are free to enter, while others require a virtual coin entry requirement. Virtual coin entries are final once the tournament begins.
• Technical Issues: If you experience technical difficulties during a tournament, scores achieved before the issue will stand. We are not responsible for internet connectivity or device issues on the player's end.

• Scoring System: Rankings are determined by the highest valid score achieved during the tournament period. Each game has its own scoring mechanism displayed in the tournament details.
• Tie Breakers: In case of tied scores, the player who achieved the score first (earliest timestamp) receives the higher rank. If multiple players have identical scores and timestamps, in-platform coins are allocated equally.
• Score Validation: All scores are validated by our anti-cheat system. Any suspicious scores will be flagged for review and may be disqualified.
• Leaderboard Updates: Leaderboards are updated in real-time during the tournament. Final rankings are locked at the tournament end time and cannot be changed.

• Available Coins: Each tournament displays available in-platform coins before entry. Coin amounts may include coins, diamonds, and exclusive badges.
• Distribution Schedule: In-platform coins are automatically credited to eligible ranked player profiles within 24 hours after tournament completion.
• Coin Tiers: Standard distribution: 1st place receives 40% of the in-platform coin allocation, 2nd place 25%, 3rd place 15%, and 4th-10th places share the remaining 20%.
• No Cash Value: All credited coins and diamonds are virtual currency. Coins and diamonds cannot be purchased with real money, exchanged for cash, transferred between users, or redeemed for any real-world item of value.

The following actions are strictly prohibited and may result in immediate disqualification, score removal, gameplay restrictions, or player profile suspension:

• Cheating: Use of exploits, bugs, hacks, or unauthorized third-party software to gain unfair advantage.
• Multiple Player Identities: Creating or using multiple guest sessions, accounts, or player identities to enter the same tournament multiple times.
• Collusion: Cooperating with other players to manipulate scores or rankings.
• Score Manipulation: Any attempt to artificially inflate or manipulate scores through technical means.
• Identity Sharing: Allowing another person to play under your identity during a tournament.

• Score Disputes: If you believe your score was recorded incorrectly, contact support within 24 hours of tournament completion with your username, tournament ID, and expected score.
• Virtual Reward Review: If virtual rewards are not credited within 24 hours, contact support with your tournament participation confirmation.
• Final Authority: MUDGAMEZ administration has final authority on all tournament-related decisions. All decisions are binding.
