Each Matchup will be a best‑of‑three games series (i.e., the first Fan Team to win two (2) games will win the Matchup). All games will be played in the MyPark mode of the Game through the 2 vs. 2 courts. The Fan Teams competing against each other in all Matchups in each round of the Fan Stage will be determined by Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion (e.g., to the extent the Sponsor publishes a bracket at any point during the Fan Stage, the Matchups in subsequent rounds of the Fan Stage may not be what the published bracket would suggest). Subject to change by Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion, all Matchups in the Fan Stage are currently planned to be played between December 7, 2020 and December 8, 2020. Sponsor will determine in its sole and absolute discretion when each Matchup is to be played and the failure of a Fan Team to participate at the scheduled time or otherwise comply with instructions regarding to a particular Matchup, as determined by Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion, may result in disqualification or other penalty as determined by Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion.

Fan Teams will not be permitted to replace team members at any point before or during Contest gameplay. If at any point a Fan Team competes with a team member other than the team members who signed up initially as members of the Fan Team, as determined by Sponsor in Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion, the Fan Team may be disqualified or otherwise penalized by Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion. The Main Stage will consist of two bracketed tournaments, one consisting of teams competing on PlayStation and one consisting of teams competing on XBOX. Each bracket will include (a)the two (2) furthest‑advancing Fan Teams from the corresponding Fan Stage bracket (i.e., the Main Stage PlayStation bracket will include the two (2) furthest‑advancing Fan Teams from the Fan Stage PlayStation bracket, and the Main Stage XBOX bracket will include the two (2) furthest‑advancing Fan Teams from the Fan Stage XBOX bracket), and (b)additional teams made up of individuals selected by the Sponsor at its sole discretion, which individuals are expected to include, without limitation, NBA 2K League players (each such additional team, an “Additional Team”). The number of Additional Teams and total teams in each Main Stage bracket will be determined by the Sponsor in its absolute and sole discretion. The teams in each bracket will play a tournament in which a team is eliminated if it loses a Matchup against another team. Each Matchup will be a best‑of‑three games series (i.e., the first team to win two (2) games will win the Matchup). All games will be played in the MyPark mode of the Game through the 2 vs. 2 courts. The teams competing against each other in all Matchups in each round of the Main Stage will be determined by Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion (e.g., to the extent the Sponsor publishes a bracket at any point during the Main Stage, the Matchups in subsequent rounds of the Main Stage may not be what the published bracket would suggest). Subject to change by Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion, all Matchups in the Main Stage are currently planned to be played on December 11, 2020. Sponsor will determine in its sole and absolute discretion when each Matchup is to be played and the failure of a team to participate at the scheduled time or otherwise comply with instructions regarding to a particular Matchup, as determined by Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion, may result in disqualification or other penalty as determined by Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion.

(w)If a team disconnects or lags out multiple times while it is losing during a particular game, for each disconnect or lagout beyond the first, the protocol set forth in subsection (v) above may be followed or the Sponsor may declare the other team the winner of the game, as decided by the Sponsor in each instance in its sole and absolute discretion.

(x)If a team disconnects or lags out one (1) time while it is winning during a particular game, the game will be restarted with a 0‑0 score and the team that was winning before it disconnected or lagged out will be given no advantage in the restarted game.

(y)If a team disconnects or lags out multiple times while it is winning during a particular game, for each disconnect or lagout beyond the first, the protocol set forth in subsection (x) above may be followed or the Sponsor may declare the other team the winner of the game, as decided by the Sponsor in each instance in its sole and absolute discretion.

(z)If both teams in a game disconnect or lag out at or about the same time, the Sponsor will determine an appropriate remedy in its sole and absolute discretion.
