ARK Required for Tournament Participation

This tournament will use the in-game User Tournament feature.

Players can enter up to five User Tournaments for free each week. From the sixth entry onward, each entry costs 50 ARK. The free-entry allowance resets every Monday.

All selected main participants and alternates will receive 100 Free ARK on November 7 at 5:00 PM (JST) for tournament participation.

The use of Unlimited ARK to enter this tournament is prohibited. Please ensure that you have sufficient Free ARK available when entering the tournament.

Participants found to have used Unlimited ARK to enter the tournament will be disqualified. If a violation is discovered after the tournament, the organizers may revoke the participant's placement and prize eligibility.

Free ARK is consumed before Unlimited ARK when entering a User Tournament.

The full 100 Free ARK may not be consumed, depending on the number of free User Tournament entries you have remaining.
