The Tournament organized by Quizz Room SAS and its Delegates is a free event, separate from the services organized by Quizz Room SAS and its Delegates, offered to certain Participants in order to bring the Quiz Room network to life in all territories in which Centers are located.

The purpose of the Rules is to define your rights and obligations, as well as those of Quiz Room and its Delegates in carrying out the Tournament, the terms and conditions of which are set out below.

By accepting the invitation to participate in the Tournament, you unreservedly accept the terms of these Rules.

You are informed that the Organizer reserves the right to modify these Rules at any time, including the introduction of new provisions or the removal of existing ones. It is the duty of the Participants to check that they are aware of the latest version of the Rules.

“The European Quiz Cup” is a popular culture quiz tournament played in Duos and taking place in all Centers. To date, the Centers are located in France, Switzerland and Belgium.

After acceptance by the Participants to participate in the Tournament, the tournament takes place in three stages:
- Players who have responded positively to an invitation from Quiz Room — or one of its Delegates — participate in one of the four Quarterly Tournaments organized during the same calendar year at the Center concerned;
- The winners and the runners-up of each Quarterly Tournament organized during the same calendar year in the same Center compete in a Local Final, qualifying for the Grand Final;
- The Grand Final takes place in one of the Centers located in Paris.

Participants accept the rules of the Quiz Room game as set out by the voiceover before the start of any Session and they unreservedly accept the final ranking determined by the Software.

The modalities of play for each Session are chosen discretionally by each Center as part of the Quarterly Tournament and the Local Final, and by the Organizer as part of the Grand Final.

All Participants are required to accept the answers to the questions, even if they are able to demonstrate an error on the part of the Organizer, its Delegates and/or the Software.

Despite the development of an algorithm to avoid that the same question can be proposed several times to the same Participant, this possibility remains possible without this being the subject of any dispute by any Participant on the validity of the result of the Quarterly Tournament, the Local Final or the Grand Final of the Tournament.

Registration for the Tournament is free.

It is carried out at the request of the future Participant, on the proposal of the Quiz Room or one of its Delegates, provided that the future Participant has previously participated in one or more Non-Tournament Sessions, public or private, and achieved one of the 20 best scores of a Center.

Under no circumstances can participation in any Session be constitutive or perceived as constituting a qualifying session for the Tournament.

Registration for the Tournament is exclusively done in Duo: a single Participant cannot be authorized to participate in the Tournament.

In the event that Quiz Room or one of its Delegates offers a single individual to participate in the Tournament, the Participant may then invite the person of his choice to form a Duo.

Each Participant who is a member of the Duo must use their Player Profile if they have already participated in a Session, and must honestly certify that they do not have several Player Profiles. In the event that the Participant holds several Player Profiles, he undertakes to report them to Quiz Room or one of its Delegates prior to registering for the Tournament so that only one Player Profile is retained, the surplus having to be removed.

Each Participant must be of legal age and not be prohibited from playing.

Participants are convened at a specific time. In the event of delay by one or more Participants, Quizz Room SAS and/or the Center, reserve the right to start the Session with a single Participant constituting a Duo or to start with the empty desk, until the Participants arrive and join the Room during the Session. In this case, the Participants agree to lose the opportunity to score points in their absence.

In the event of the absence of one of the members of a Duo for the duration of the first part of a Session, the Duo is declared disqualified.

5.1. Quarterly tournaments at each Center

‍Each Center has the option of offering participation in the Tournament, which begins with participation in a Quarterly Tournament consisting of one or more Sessions.
‍
Each Quarterly Tournament must have a minimum of 4 duos and a maximum of 6 duos. If less than 4 pairs are registered, it is the responsibility of the Center to offer other players to participate in the Tournament, giving priority to those who obtained the best scores in previous Sessions — excluding the Tournament.
‍
On the day of the Quarterly Tournament, if only 3 Duos show up, the Quarterly Tournament is maintained. On the other hand, if only 2 Duos show up, the Quarterly Tournament will have to be postponed by the Center.
The winning Duo of one of the four Quarterly Tournaments that may be organized during the same calendar year is declared “Champion” of the Center and of the quarterly period concerned (e.g. the winning Duo of the quarterly tournament played in Marseille in winter is declared “Marseille Winter Quiz Champion”).
‍
The Duos ranking first in a Quarterly Tournament are qualified for the Local Final. The same goes for the two second-ranked Duos who achieved the highest number of points during their Quarterly Tournament. Thus, six Duos are qualified for a Local Final: 1 Duo for the Winter period, 1 Duo for the spring period, 1 Duos for the summer period, 1 Duo for the autumn period and 2 Duos called “best runners-up”.
‍
From the start of its operation, a Center will only organize a Quarterly Tournament in its Center for entire quarterly periods. Thus, a Center starting its activities on May 10, 2022 will organize its first quarterly tournament during the summer period, with 2 qualifiers over the summer period and 2 qualifiers over the autumn period, i.e. 4 qualifiers in total, who will compete for the place in the Grand Final during the Local Final.
‍
In the event that a Center starts operating its activity during the summer or autumn period, the Tournament cannot be organized there until the following calendar year.

5.2. Local finals

‍The date of each Local Final will be fixed by the Center after proposal to all qualified Duos - the proposed dates and times should correspond to free time on the basis of a standard paid job (weekday evening or weekend). No qualified Duo will be able to contest the date selected by the Center if at least 4 Duos have confirmed their participation in the Local Final. In any event, the Center will not change the date at the request of a Duo who cannot attend the Local Final.
‍
At the end of each Local Final, the winning Duo is qualified for the Grand Final.

6.1. Presence at the Grand Final

‍The Grand Final will take place in 2023 in one of the Centers located in Paris. The Organizer will communicate the address to the qualified Participants within a reasonable period of time.
‍
Each Duo qualified for the Grand Final must confirm their participation to the Organizer, by email, at contact@quiz-room.com, no later than 15 days before the date of the Grand Final.
‍
In the absence of confirmation, the Organizer will propose to the Duo from the same Center who placed second during the Local Final or, in the absence of confirmation from the latter, to the Duo who placed third to participate in the Grand Final. In the absence of the participation of one of these Duos, the Center will not be represented during the Grand Final.
‍
To attend the Grand Final, each Participant undertakes to agree to transfer their image rights in accordance with article 9 of these rules.
‍
Travel expenses are covered by the Organizer up to a maximum of 120 euros per Participant, or 240 euros per Duo, reimbursed upon presentation of proof of transport on the day of the Grand Final established in the name of each Participant. The refund will be made within 10 days following the Grand Final by bank transfer to the account of each of the Grand Final Participants who provided proof of transport as well as the details of the bank account receiving the amounts to be paid. The ticket must indicate the name of the participant and the date of the day of the final (fuel costs included).
‍
If one of the members of the Duo qualified for the Grand Final did not show up no later than 30 minutes before the start of the Grand Final, he is disqualified and not replaced and, with the exception of the preceding paragraph, his travel expenses not reimbursed.

6.2. How the Grand Final unfolds

‍The format of the Grand Final will be determined by the Organizer based on the number of Duos present, the organization cannot be anticipated at the start date of the Tournament, it being understood that, unless otherwise stipulated, newly opened Centers may join the Tournament during the year.
‍
The composition of the participants in each Session will be made by drawing lots on the day of the Grand Final, in the presence of all the Participants.
‍
The Grand Final focuses on issues of French, Swiss, Belgian and international culture, which the Participants accept. The concept of international culture cannot be called into question by the Participants, who irreversibly accept the theme of the questions and undertake not to question the equity between the Participants. The 30 questions in the final will be new.
‍
The winning Duo in the final is declared the winner of the Tournament with the title of “Winner of the Coupe de France de quiz 2023”.

For the Grand Final, the Prizes are as follows:
- Winning duo: €5,000
- Second and Third Duos: Prizes to be determined by the Organizer

Participants who have won a cash Prize must communicate their IBAN to the Organizer within 7 days from the date of the Grand Final. Then they will receive their Lot by bank transfer within 7 days. The winning pair must sign a document attesting to the payment due and send us a copy of their identity document.

If the Hardware is no longer in working condition during a game session, the Organizer then distinguishes between 2 scenarios:
‍
1. Malfunction attributable to Participants: Participants agree that the “question for nothing” asked before the start of the scoring of a Session allows them to test the proper functioning of their Equipment and that, unless a malfunction is detected and reported on this occasion, the Hardware will be deemed to be in good working order so that any Hardware malfunction occurring during the Session will be presumed to be the result of the behavior of the Participants; therefore the Session will not be interrupted and the Participants will not be interrupted concerned must therefore end the Session with the Material proposed at the beginning of the Session;
‍
2. Generalized dysfunction of the game or dysfunction independent of the behavior of the Participants: in this case, the Session is replayed in its entirety, without being able to take advantage of the points acquired during the interrupted Session.

3. In the event of a bug or technical anomaly, and if the game must be interrupted, the points start again without the participants being able to challenge the decision taken by the center manager.

The winning Duo of a Quarterly Tournament or a Local Final agrees to have their photo displayed in the Center for one year from the date of participation, on the display provided for this purpose.

Each Participant accepts that in case of participation in the Grand Final, photos and videos may be taken by the Organizer.

Each Participant authorizes Quizz Room SAS or any person it substitutes to exploit, on any medium and by any means, his image and other attributes of his personality in order to promote the activities of Quizz Room SAS to the public, and this on all French, Swiss and Belgian territories, on all French, Swiss and Belgian territories, as long as Quizz Room SAS operates its quiz activities.

The Organizer reserves the right to shorten, extend, modify or cancel this competition. It cannot be held responsible for these changes.

In any case, the Organizer reserves the right to extend the period during which each stage of the Tournament is supposed to take place, to postpone any announced date or to modify its conditions and cannot be held liable for this fact.

The Rules apply to anyone who participates in the competition.

The Regulation is subject to French law and, in the event of a dispute, the competent court will be that of the defendant's place of residence or that of performance of the service subject of the Regulation.
