• As the eFootball.Open is a tournament held within PES 2021, the PES 2021 Terms of Use apply to all of the tournament's matches and proceedings.
• Any violation of the Terms of Use will result in disqualification from the tournament, regardless of the offending user's performance up to that point. Furthermore, offending users may have sanctions applied to their accounts in accordance with the Terms of Use.
• 4 users from each PlayStation®4 server (Europe, Americas, Asia, Japan) will be selected to proceed to the World Finals. Each user's server is determined by their place of residence, and cannot be changed after the tournament has commenced.

  *As there is no separate category for the PlayStation®5, users who participate in the tournament from a PlayStation®5 system will be categorized as PlayStation®4 participants. Additionally, we cannot guarantee that all parts of the tournament process will function correctly on the PlayStation®5.

  *As there is no separate category for the Xbox Series X or S, users participating from one of these new consoles will be categorized as Xbox One participants. Additionally, we cannot guarantee that all parts of the tournament process will function correctly on the Xbox Series X or S.

  *You cannot change platforms after the tournament has commenced.

• All eFootball.Open rewards that you earn are distributed in-game as Matchday event rewards.
• Unfortunately, the eFootball Point program will not be available to users who select the United States of America as their place of residence when playing PES for the first time. We are currently in the process of organising an alternative where these users will be able to get in-game items in place of eFootball Points.
