As a user of Picks Battle you are obliged to abide by the following rules. Their main purpose is to maximize the enjoyment of every player in our community by providing them with an equal opportunity to win. We actively monitor the game to ensure all our managers stick to these rules. Should you notice anyone failing to do so, we urge you to report your observations to our support team using the contact us form from within the game. Please let us deal with all such incidents – do not attempt to resolve them yourself or expose them to the community. The punishment for anyone caught cheating will be far greater than any advantage gained from the action and managers found guilty of serious foul play could lose control of their accounts.
Sign up for the correct country
Your account must be registered in the country where you are permanently resident (where you live). You must not register an account in any other country. If you have reasons to be registered in a different country than the one you are living please let our support team know by explaining the reasons.
Do not open or use more than one account
A specific account is assigned to each individual user when they register to Picks Battle. In order to prevent conflicts of interest and avoid breaching game rules, users are only permitted to hold one account.
Do not login to or take ownership of another account
To avoid being suspected of managing more than one accounts, you must not log into any account other than your own. It is also forbidden to view any non-public account details without the owner’s or crew's permission, to hand over your account to someone else, to take permanent ownership of someone else’s account or register an account on behalf of someone else.
Show sportsmanlike behaviour
Fixing matches is expressly forbidden. You are not allowed to try to aid another team by deliberately losing a match. Using any such methods in order to gain an unfair advantage for yourself or someone else can be considered cheating.
Keep your account active
Inactive Accounts will be deleted to make space for new Users who might want to actively play the game.
An Account will be considered Inactive in any of the following 3 scenarios:
- Signup: No Activity for 30 consecutive days following the initial Signup
- Single Activity: No Activity for 90 consecutive days following a Single Active Day upon Signup
- Long Term Inactivity: No Activity for 365 consecutive days
An Account is considered Active when there is at least 1 Pick Submission over the time periods described in the above 3 scenarios. There is no appeal against actions taken in respect of inactive accounts.
Do not exploit bugs to gain an unfair advantage
If you discover any errors in the code or in the system in general (bugs), you must not attempt to benefit from them. Instead, please report these to the support team. Exploiting bugs in our payment system to illegally obtain Power Tokens, digital items or other services can lead to immediate suspension and legal claims against you.
Be honest when dealing with our support team
If you have broken one or more of the above rules, the best and most honourable thing to do is to admit it to our support team. Should your team be suspended, you must also answer any questions they have fully and honestly. The more honest you are, the more sympathetic we are likely to be when considering your case and the greater your chances of receiving a "second chance". By the same token, the longer any cheating continues, the worse the punishment will be.
Enforcement and Appeals
The management of Picks Battle, and its representatives, have the right to suspend a player account or ban a user if it considers any of the above rules to have been broken. Picks Battle also has the right to take action for other reasons not mentioned here if it is considered necessary. In any case, Picks Battle always has the final say so you are advised not to test the limits of the rules.
In cases where suspension is considered too harsh, we have the right to take other appropriate action. If you consider yourself innocent of any charge, you are welcome to appeal against the decision by contacting the support team from the e-mail address you used when you registered your team or from the support form from within the game. Please note that, in order to uphold the rules and manage the game, the Picks Battle Crew has access to non-public player account data.
The forum rules apply to all in-game communications. As the contents of these rules can be presented in several languages, English is always the deciding language in cases of translation differences.
