Terms & conditions

FC E-Game Tournament is a product of Fairfield Solutions, a business registered in Ghana under the Registration of Business Names Act, 1962 (Act 151), registration number BN360501026. In these terms, “we” and “the organisers” mean Fairfield Solutions.

Each tournament sets its own registration fee, shown on its page before you register. It covers your participation in the tournament, use of the venue and the organisation of matches. If you pay online by Mobile Money, Paystack's processing fee is added on top and shown before you pay. Card payments and MoMo Pay to our merchant ID carry no extra fee.

Registering does not give you a spot. Your spot, player number and team are confirmed only once your payment is confirmed.

Registration fees are not refundable if you withdraw, are disqualified, or miss matches for any reason.

If we cancel a tournament, every confirmed player receives a full refund of the amount they paid, including the processing fee, to the account they paid from. We cancel a tournament if fewer than the tournament's minimum number of players (never less than 6) have paid by the registration deadline, or if it cannot go ahead for reasons on our side, such as losing the venue.

A tournament goes ahead only if its minimum number of players (never less than 6) have paid by the registration deadline.

In each edition's final, the champion receives a custom trophy, 2nd place receives silver medals and 3rd place receives bronze medals, plus sponsor gifts when available. Prizes have no cash value and cannot be exchanged for cash.

Only the final places earn prizes. Winning a hall or campus stage on its own does not. Winners must show valid ID matching their registration to collect their prize.

The Campus Edition is open to registered students of the participating universities, who must upload a photo of a valid student ID. The Hood Edition is open to everyone else. Each person may register once per tournament.

You choose one team when you register and keep it for the whole tournament. Each team can be used by only one player per tournament, first come, first served. A team is held for 15 minutes while you pay.

Matches follow real football rules: red cards and yellow card accumulation suspend that footballer from your next match, league tables use points, goal difference, goals scored, head-to-head and fair play, and a no-show after the late limit is a 3–0 walkover.

Cheating, exploits, abusive behaviour or fielding a suspended footballer can lead to forfeiting matches or disqualification, without a refund. If you withdraw or are disqualified, results you've played stand and your remaining matches are awarded to your opponents as walkovers.

You can appeal a published result from your dashboard within 24 hours. The organisers check the photo of the end-of-match screen and either correct the result or let it stand, and email you the decision. After the 24 hours, and once an appeal is decided, the result is final.

We show your gamer tag, team, hall or hood, profile picture (if you add one) and match statistics publicly. When a tournament ends, the final results also show your real name, unless you choose to hide it in your dashboard. Your phone number, email and student ID photo are kept private, used only to run the tournament and confirm eligibility, and never sold.
