Our team has seen the heartbreaking series of confessions from brave people throughout the gaming and esports world, and it’s clear to us that we must take steps to protect our players and community.
As our first step to make our tournaments a safer place for all, we are implementing the following new policies at official in-person RCS events.
Though our team does not directly host any of the majors or conventions we take part of, we control our own play area and believe we can partner with organizers who share our vision for a safer community.
Online Safety
Most discussion in gaming communities takes place online, and Rivals is no exception. We would like to remind players to practice safe online behavior. Never send people online your full name, photographs, location, or other personal information.
If you feel threatened, uncomfortable, or pressured by other misbehavior within the community and are afraid to come forward directly we are now offering an Anonymous Tipline where players can share their experiences. This tipline can also be found in our informational discord links channel:
Our Code of Conduct
We would like to take this opportunity as well to remind participants of our tournament code of conduct found in the full Rivals Championship Series rules. We are reiterating these to ask that players please speak up when they see inappropriate behavior, as anything included here is absolutely not allowed at our events:
Help do your part to keep tournaments a good experience for everyone, and treat other players with respect and kindness.
While these are only our first steps to make our tournaments safer for all, we welcome your input and ideas on anything we could do to improve. Send your ideas as a player, parent, or spectator to [email protected].
