Small Text Stuff
- Individual prizes are based on dollar amount and are interchangeable with other packs or bundles of equal or lesser value.
- Prizes cannot be combined to create a higher dollar threshold.
- For example, if you win the Kazimierz Major Pack (worth $49.99), then you may substitute this prize for a 40 OP bundle (worth $29.99) and a Senior Operator Training Pack (worth $19.99).
- In contrast, if you win two (2) Duck Lord's Change Purse (worth $6.99 for a total of $13.98), then you will NOT be able to substitute it for the Starter Upgrade Pack (worth $9.99) even though the combined value of the Change Purses are above the Upgrade Pack's dollar amount.
- You must claim your prize before reset on June 1 or your prize will be nullified.
- Global, KR, and JP regions only.
- Runs that qualify must be either a new or an improved run for the runner. Runs that are slower than a runner's personal best are ineligible. Individuals that attempt to circumvent this rule will be disqualified from the contest.
- Categories under a Misc tab are not applicable for entry.
Please contact a moderator if you need assistance or further details.
