Terms and Conditions

Welcome to Knockout Circuit. By registering for any of our organized events, viewing live rankings, or competing in our seasonal arenas, you agree to abide by these Terms and Conditions. These rules ensure a fair, highly competitive environment for all combatants entering the stage.

All participants must fulfill the entry criteria outlined prior to the start of each competitive block. Failure to meet these criteria may result in disqualification from the current season.

The arena demands respect. We maintain a strict zero-tolerance policy against unsportsmanlike conduct, harassment, or match disruption. All players are expected to compete with integrity.

• Tampering with setups, arcade sticks, or assigned console hardware is strictly forbidden.
• Collusion, match-fixing, or any attempt to artificially manipulate tournament brackets will result in a permanent ban.
• Respecting tournament organizers, referees, and fellow competitors is mandatory at all times.

Penalties for violating the conduct policy range from round forfeiture to complete removal from the current season, stripping of all accumulated circuit points.

Knockout Circuit operates on a seasonal points-based system. Points are awarded solely based on placement within official recognized events. Circuit points determine player seeding and qualification for the seasonal finale.

Registration for upcoming events secures your slot in the bracket. Once the registration window closes, brackets are locked. Late arrivals to assigned setups may incur a swift disqualification to keep the event schedule moving.

Knockout Circuit organizers are not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged personal peripherals, including but not limited to custom controllers, fight sticks, or headsets brought to the venue. Participation in the tournament is at your own risk.

In the event of unforeseen technical failures, power outages, or schedule interruptions, our administration team will determine the fairest method to resume competition. Decisions made by the head referee regarding match disputes are final.
