OFFICIAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
These Battle Spirits Saga Tournament Official Terms and Conditions (the “Terms and
Conditions”) govern your participation in this organized play event for the Battle Spirits Saga
(“BSS”) trading card game of skill. Chance plays no part in determining the winner. By entering a
BSS Grand Open Tournament (“Tournament”), in addition to these Terms and Conditions, you
agree to be bound by the decisions of BANDAI CO., LTD. (“BANDAI”), and the Tournament
Organizer (“TO”), including interpretations of the Tournament Rules Manual and Comprehensive
Rules, and the judges who are contracted by the TO. The Tournament Rules Manual and
Comprehensive Rules are known collectively as the “Official Rules”. In the event of a conflict
among the Official Rules and the Terms and Conditions, these Terms and Conditions prevail.
We reserve the right to change, revise and modify these Terms and Conditions, the Official Rules,
and the Tournament, in our sole discretion, provided that but we will inform you of any changes
either in writing or by public notice. Your continued participation in any manner in the Tournament
after such change, revision or modification constitutes your acceptance of the same.
The Tournament is hosted by the TO and supported by BANDAI. Event registration, ticketing,
tournament management, prize distribution, cash prize payments, and customer service are handled
directly by the TO. BANDAI does not collect any personal or private information from any
participants, including any information required for cash prize payments. BANDAI does not
directly pay cash prize payments to participants.
THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CONTAIN A MANDATORY ARBITRATION
PROVISION IN SECTION 6 WHICH LIMITS YOUR AND BANDAI AND/OR THE
TOURNAMENT ORGANIZER’S ABILITY TO LITIGATE CLAIMS AS WELL AS A
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY WHICH LIMITS THE LIABILTIY OF THIRD PARTIES,
BANDAI ENTITIES, AGENTS, AND ITS FAMILY OF COMPANIES.
1. Participation Eligibility. Only one (1) entry per person. To participate in a Tournament, you
must be at least 18 years of age or of legal age of majority in your jurisdiction of residence,
whichever is older, to participate. You must also have an active and valid BANDAI TCG+
(“TCG+”) account, which are free to create and can be obtained at https://www.bandai-tcg-
plus.com/. The TO will not record or copy any form of identification. You may only participate if
your participation does not violate applicable local laws. You are responsible for ensuring your
2
compliance with local laws and requirements prior to, during, and following your participation in
the Tournament. You are not required to be a resident or citizen of the country where the
Tournament is held to participate, but you must follow all applicable local laws. Employees of
BANDAI and/or the TO’s household or family members are not eligible. Individuals who have
been disqualified or barred from participating in events by BANDAI and/or the TO are also not
eligible. Any Tournament official associated with or working a Tournament may not play in that
Tournament.
2. Eligibility for Monetary Rewards. If a winner is eligible to receive a cash prize, the TO will
notify the winner promptly at the Tournament venue to ensure the winner provides accurate
payment details. If a winner does not provide accurate payment details within thirty (30) days of
prize notification (the “Notification Window”), the TO reserves the right to rescind the prize
notification, and the individual will forfeit the cash prize. The TO will make payment to the winner
within thirty (30) days of receiving payment details, but may be unable to make payment of
monetary prizes if a winner fails to provide the necessary or accurate payment information within
the Notification Window. Prizes may not be substituted, assigned, transferred, or redeemed for cash
(if not a cash prize) and are for personal use only. However, the TO reserves the right to the extent
permitted by law, to substitute a prize (or portion thereof) with one of comparable or greater value
in the event that the originally advertised prize becomes unavailable for any reason, in the TO’s
sole discretion. The Tournament requires each player to exercise skill in order to ultimately become
a winner.
3. Taxes. Prizes are void where prohibited or restricted. Local, state, federal or provincial taxes,
including but not limited to, VAT, GST or income tax associated with the receipt or use of any
prize, are the sole responsibility of the winner. A winner will be required to provide certain payment
information including tax information, as requested by the TO. Where a Tournament takes place
outside the US, cash prizes may be subject to income and tax withholding, and may need to be
reported on such other relevant tax forms or disclosures as may be required by local law. Unless the
TO is required by winner’s jurisdiction of residence to withhold and pay the income tax
withholding amount levied against the applicable prize awarded, the winner in whose name the
prize is awarded will be responsible for all taxes (income and withholding) associated with
acceptance and use of the prize. Such individual should consult with their tax advisor. BANDAI
and the TO will have no obligation whatsoever for any related taxes or social contributions that
may be payable in connection with a prize if it is not required for the TO to withhold such related
taxes or social contributions as stated above.

10. Questions or Concerns. If you have any questions or concerns about the Tournament or

11 Player Skill, Tournament Structure, and Prizing
Player skill is required to build a competitive 50 card deck with strengths and weaknesses from a
card pool that all players have access to. The exercise of skill is the overall predominant factor in
determining a winner, and competitive players must accurately evaluate the strengths and
6
weaknesses of their deck, hand, and opponent’s deck and strategy in order to overcome elements
such as a randomly dealt starting hand and determine the outcome of a match. Accounting for and
managing variance in you and your opponents’ hand or deck requires knowledge of game rules,
types of cards, experience, and acute decision-making skills.
Players may earn prize money listed in Appendix A as a result of their skills and final ranking in a
Tournament as outlined in the Tournament Rules Manual. In addition to prize money, players may
earn promotional items including but not limited to, cards or card game accessories such as deck
cases, card sleeves, and playmats. These promotional items have no commercial value and are not
for sale. The TO reserves the right to withhold distribution of promotional items if player does not
make their best efforts to finish a minimum of two (2) game rounds, or if player attempts to collect
promotional items without participating in any rounds. Prize money is to be paid by the TO to the
winner in USD. Winners are responsible to bear any currency conversion, transfer, or banking fees
incurred upon receipt of prize money. Players should be aware of and must accept potential
fluctuations in exchange rates in the period from the payment issuance, event date, and receipt by
the player.
