Tournament & Competition Organizer Agreement
Version: 1
Last Updated: August 26, 2026
Effective: Upon electronic acceptance through the RisingMVP Platform
This Tournament & Competition Organizer Agreement ("Agreement") governs the use of the RisingMVP platform by organizations and authorized representatives that create, publish, manage, promote, or accept registrations for tournaments, leagues, cups, showcases, competitions, or similar sporting events through RisingMVP.
This Agreement is between RisingMVP LLC, a Florida limited liability company ("RisingMVP," "we," "us," or "our"), and the organization on whose behalf the individual accepting this Agreement is acting ("Organizer").
This Agreement supplements the RisingMVP Terms of Service, the RisingMVP Privacy Policy, the RisingMVP Refund & Dispute Policy, the RisingMVP Community Guidelines, the RisingMVP Platform Subscription and Usage Fee Agreement (where applicable to Organizer), and any other applicable agreement between RisingMVP and Organizer. If there is a conflict regarding the operation of a Competition, this Agreement controls with respect to the Organizer's responsibilities for that Competition.
By accepting this Agreement or certifying a Competition through RisingMVP, the individual accepting represents that they have authority to act for and bind the Organizer.
1. Definitions
For purposes of this Agreement:
"Competition" means any tournament, league, cup, showcase, competition, or similar sporting event created, published, managed, or offered for registration through RisingMVP.
"Organizer" means the organization responsible for creating, conducting, managing, or offering the Competition.
"Participant" includes teams, clubs, athletes, coaches, parents, guardians, staff members, officials, and other persons participating in or associated with a Competition.
"Platform" means RisingMVP's websites, applications, registration systems, payment-related technology, competition-management tools, and related services.
2. RisingMVP's Role
RisingMVP provides technology that enables Organizers to create and manage Competitions and related activities.
Unless RisingMVP expressly agrees otherwise in writing for a particular Competition, RisingMVP is not the organizer, operator, promoter, sanctioning body, venue operator, referee assignor, coach, medical provider, or supervisor of the Competition.
The Organizer, and not RisingMVP, is responsible for the organization, management, operation, and conduct of its Competition.
Use of RisingMVP does not mean that RisingMVP sponsors, sanctions, approves, verifies, supervises, or guarantees a Competition or the Organizer's compliance with applicable requirements.
3. Authority to Organize the Competition
Organizer represents and warrants that:
1. it has the legal authority to create and operate each Competition it publishes through RisingMVP;
2. the person certifying a Competition is authorized to act on behalf of Organizer;
3. Organizer has obtained or will obtain any permissions, approvals, permits, licenses, facility authorizations, or other rights reasonably required to conduct the Competition; and
4. information Organizer provides through RisingMVP concerning the Competition will be accurate and not materially misleading.
Organizer must promptly correct materially inaccurate Competition information.
4. Organizer Responsibility for Competition Operations
Organizer is solely responsible for operating and administering its Competition, including, as applicable:
- competition format and rules;
- schedules and game administration;
- divisions and classifications;
- participant and team eligibility;
- age requirements;
- rosters;
- field and facility arrangements;
- staffing;
- referees and other officials;
- disciplinary procedures;
- weather-related decisions;
- postponements and cancellations;
- awards and prizes;
- participant communications;
- emergency procedures; and
- other operational matters associated with the Competition.
5. Facilities, Safety, and Emergency Planning
Organizer is responsible for selecting and using facilities that it reasonably determines are appropriate for the Competition and for complying with applicable facility rules and requirements.
Organizer is responsible for establishing and implementing reasonable safety and emergency procedures appropriate for its Competition.
Organizer is responsible for making decisions concerning whether games or activities should proceed, be delayed, relocated, suspended, or cancelled because of weather, field conditions, safety concerns, emergencies, or other circumstances.
RisingMVP does not inspect or certify Competition facilities or determine whether any Competition, facility, playing surface, equipment, or activity is safe.
6. Insurance
Organizer is responsible for determining what insurance coverage is legally required or reasonably appropriate for its Competition and for maintaining any coverage required by applicable law, facility agreement, governing body, sanctioning organization, or other contractual obligation.
RisingMVP's provision of the Platform does not constitute insurance coverage for Organizer, Participants, facilities, or the Competition.
If RisingMVP requires evidence of insurance for a particular Competition or Platform feature, Organizer agrees to provide accurate and current documentation upon request.
7. Participant Eligibility and Competition Rules
Organizer is responsible for establishing, communicating, and enforcing its Competition rules and eligibility requirements.
This includes, where applicable, requirements involving:
- athlete age;
- birth-year divisions;
- team classification;
- roster eligibility;
- identification;
- competitive level;
- suspensions;
- transfers; and
- applicable governing-body or league requirements.
Final eligibility decisions remain the Organizer's responsibility unless expressly stated otherwise.
8. Minors and Parental or Guardian Authorization
Many Competitions offered through RisingMVP involve minors.
Organizer is responsible for determining and obtaining any parental or legal guardian authorizations, acknowledgments, releases, waivers, permissions, or other consents required for participation in Organizer's Competition.
Organizer may use RisingMVP tools to present and collect such documents or consents. RisingMVP's provision of those tools does not make RisingMVP the author of Organizer-created waivers or establish that a particular waiver or consent is legally sufficient for Organizer's purposes.
Organizer is responsible for the content and legal sufficiency of Organizer-created participation documents.
Nothing in this Agreement transfers to Organizer any privacy or data-protection obligation that applicable law independently places on RisingMVP.
9. Participant Information and Privacy
Organizer may receive or access information concerning Participants through RisingMVP.
Organizer agrees to:
1. access and use Participant information only for legitimate purposes connected with the Competition or Organizer's authorized activities;
2. limit access to persons who reasonably need the information;
3. protect Participant information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse;
4. comply with applicable privacy and data-protection requirements applicable to Organizer; and
5. not sell, improperly disclose, or use Participant information for unauthorized purposes.
Organizer may not require RisingMVP to collect or process information in a manner that violates applicable law or RisingMVP's policies.
RisingMVP remains responsible for its own obligations concerning information processed by RisingMVP under applicable law and the RisingMVP Privacy Policy.
10. Photos, Videos, Names, and Publicity
Organizer is responsible for obtaining any permissions or authorizations required for Organizer's collection, upload, publication, distribution, or commercial use of Participant names, images, photographs, videos, recordings, or other likenesses.
Organizer represents that it has appropriate rights or authorization to upload content to RisingMVP and to instruct RisingMVP to display or process that content as part of the Competition.
This Section does not grant Organizer ownership of Participant information or content where Organizer does not otherwise possess such rights.
11. Coaches, Staff, Officials, and Other Personnel
Organizer is responsible for selecting, engaging, supervising, and managing the individuals and organizations it uses to operate the Competition.
Organizer is responsible for determining and complying with any applicable requirements concerning qualifications, certifications, screenings, background checks, training, safeguarding requirements, or other conditions applicable to its personnel.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, RisingMVP does not certify or guarantee the qualifications, background, credentials, conduct, or suitability of any coach, referee, volunteer, employee, contractor, or other Competition personnel.
12. Registration Fees and Other Charges
Organizer is responsible for establishing the prices and fees charged by Organizer for participation in its Competition.
Organizer must accurately disclose material Competition charges to registrants.
RisingMVP may charge separate platform, processing, service, transaction, or other fees as disclosed through the Platform or applicable agreement, including as set out in the RisingMVP Terms of Service and, where applicable to Organizer, the RisingMVP Platform Subscription and Usage Fee Agreement.
The use of RisingMVP to facilitate a payment does not make RisingMVP the provider of the underlying Competition.
13. Refunds, Cancellations, and Credits
Organizer is responsible for establishing and communicating its Competition refund, cancellation, withdrawal, credit, and rescheduling policies, subject to applicable law and any separate RisingMVP payment terms, including the RisingMVP Terms of Service and the RisingMVP Refund & Dispute Policy.
Organizer is responsible for refunds or other amounts owed because of Organizer's cancellation, modification, failure to provide the Competition, or application of Organizer's refund policy.
Organizer may not represent that RisingMVP is responsible for an Organizer refund unless RisingMVP has expressly assumed that responsibility in writing.
Organizer agrees to provide accurate refund and cancellation information to Participants before registration where required by the Platform or applicable law.
14. Compliance With Laws and Rules
Organizer agrees to conduct its Competition in compliance with applicable federal, state, and local laws, regulations, ordinances, permits, and legally applicable requirements.
Where Organizer voluntarily affiliates with or operates under a league, federation, association, sanctioning organization, facility, school, municipality, or other governing body, Organizer is responsible for determining and complying with requirements applicable to that relationship.
RisingMVP does not provide Organizer with legal, medical, insurance, tax, licensing, safeguarding, or regulatory advice through the Platform.
15. Prohibited Conduct
Organizer may not use RisingMVP to create, promote, or operate a Competition that:
- is fraudulent or materially misleading;
- violates applicable law;
- knowingly misrepresents material information concerning the Competition;
- unlawfully discriminates against Participants;
- infringes intellectual property or other rights;
- improperly uses Participant information;
- creates registrations or charges for a Competition Organizer does not have authority to operate; or
- otherwise materially violates RisingMVP's Terms of Service or applicable policies.
16. Changes to a Competition
Organizer is responsible for keeping material Competition information accurate.
Material changes may include changes to dates, location, registration fees, refund terms, Organizer identity, competition format, or other information reasonably important to a Participant's registration decision.
RisingMVP may require Organizer to provide a new Competition certification following material changes.
If re-certification is required, Organizer may be required to complete it before reopening registration, publishing the modified Competition, or performing another action designated by RisingMVP.
17. Tournament-Specific Certification
RisingMVP may require an authorized representative of Organizer to certify each Competition before the Competition becomes public, opens registration, or performs another designated action.
By completing that certification, the representative confirms on behalf of Organizer that:
1. the representative is authorized to act for Organizer;
2. Organizer is authorized to create and operate the Competition;
3. material Competition information provided through RisingMVP is accurate to the representative's knowledge;
4. Organizer accepts responsibility for operating the Competition; and
5. Organizer will operate the Competition in accordance with this Agreement and applicable RisingMVP terms.
RisingMVP may electronically record the certification, including the Competition, Organizer, accepting user, applicable Agreement version, certification wording, date and time, IP address, user agent, and other information reasonably necessary to maintain evidence of the transaction.
18. Electronic Acceptance
Organizer agrees that this Agreement and Competition certifications may be entered into electronically.
An electronic action designated by RisingMVP as acceptance—including selecting an acceptance checkbox and submitting the acceptance—constitutes Organizer's electronic acceptance when performed by an authorized representative with the intent to accept.
RisingMVP may maintain electronic records of acceptance and certification.
19. Suspension or Removal of Competitions
RisingMVP may suspend, restrict, unpublish, close registration for, or remove a Competition from the Platform when RisingMVP reasonably believes that:
- Organizer has materially violated this Agreement or the RisingMVP Terms of Service;
- the Competition may involve fraud, unlawful activity, or material misrepresentation;
- continued operation presents a material security, payment, legal, or Platform risk;
- Organizer lacks authority to operate the Competition;
- RisingMVP is required to do so by law, court order, payment provider, or governmental authority; or
- suspension is otherwise permitted under the RisingMVP Terms of Service.
20. Organizer Representations and Warranties
Organizer represents and warrants that:
1. it has authority to enter into this Agreement;
2. its representative accepting or certifying through RisingMVP has authority to act on its behalf;
3. it has authority to operate Competitions it publishes through RisingMVP;
4. information it provides concerning its Competitions will not be knowingly false or materially misleading;
5. it will comply with applicable laws governing its operation of the Competition; and
6. its use of the Platform will comply with the RisingMVP Terms of Service.
21. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Organizer agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless RisingMVP and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from third-party claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, losses, and reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or relating to:
1. Organizer's operation or administration of a Competition;
2. Organizer's breach of this Agreement;
3. Organizer's violation of applicable law;
4. Organizer's negligence or willful misconduct;
5. Organizer-created rules, waivers, representations, advertisements, or Competition materials;
6. Organizer's unauthorized use or disclosure of Participant information or content; or
7. a claim that Organizer lacked authority, permission, or required rights to conduct a Competition or use a facility, content, or other property.
This Section does not require Organizer to indemnify RisingMVP to the extent a claim results from RisingMVP's own negligence, willful misconduct, violation of law, or breach of its obligations.
22. Disclaimers and Allocation of Responsibility
Organizer acknowledges that sporting activities involve inherent risks and that RisingMVP does not control the physical operation of Competitions conducted by independent Organizers.
Except for obligations RisingMVP expressly assumes in writing, Organizer is responsible for decisions concerning the physical operation and administration of its Competition.
Nothing in this Agreement excludes or limits a responsibility or liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
Any disclaimers or limitations of liability contained in the RisingMVP Terms of Service continue to apply according to their terms.
23. Relationship of the Parties
Organizer and RisingMVP are independent contracting parties.
Nothing in this Agreement creates a partnership, joint venture, franchise, fiduciary relationship, employment relationship, or agency relationship between RisingMVP and Organizer.
Organizer may not represent that RisingMVP operates, sanctions, sponsors, endorses, or guarantees its Competition unless RisingMVP has expressly authorized that representation in writing.
24. Agreement Versions and Reacceptance
RisingMVP may update this Agreement from time to time.
Where RisingMVP determines that an updated version requires renewed acceptance, Organizer may be required to accept the new version before creating, publishing, reopening registration for, or certifying another Competition.
A Competition certification remains associated with the Agreement version under which the certification was originally made unless Organizer subsequently re-certifies the Competition.
RisingMVP will not retroactively alter the Agreement version recorded with a previous certification.
25. Records
RisingMVP may maintain records reasonably necessary to establish Organizer's acceptance of this Agreement and certification of individual Competitions.
Such records may include the identity of the accepting user and Organizer, Agreement and version identifiers, Competition identifier, acceptance or certification wording, timestamps, IP address, user agent, and related transaction records.
26. Governing Law; Dispute Resolution
This Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict of laws principles.
Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be resolved pursuant to the binding arbitration framework set forth in the RisingMVP Terms of Service.
27. Terms of Service; Governing Terms
This Agreement supplements and incorporates the applicable RisingMVP Terms of Service.
Provisions of the Terms of Service concerning limitation of liability, dispute resolution, governing law, notices, intellectual property, termination, and other general Platform matters remain applicable except where this Agreement expressly provides otherwise.
If this Agreement conflicts with the Terms of Service regarding Organizer's responsibility for operating a Competition, this Agreement controls for that subject.
28. Entire Agreement Regarding Competition Organizer Responsibilities
This Agreement, together with the RisingMVP Terms of Service and any additional written agreement expressly applicable to Organizer, constitutes the agreement between RisingMVP and Organizer concerning Organizer's use of RisingMVP to create and operate Competitions.
29. Acceptance
By selecting "I Agree," "Accept," "Certify & Continue," or another clearly designated acceptance control, the individual accepting:
- confirms that they have read and agree to this Agreement;
- represents that they are authorized to act for and bind Organizer; and
- agrees that their electronic acceptance has the same effect as an acceptance executed in writing.
