A Note on Arena Tournament Eligibility

While we would like all World of Warcraft players to be able to take part in the Arena Tournament, there are various legal factors leading to residents of some countries, states, and territories not being eligible to participate. These factors include but are not necessarily limited to:

• Requirement to have purchased a copy of a game and/or pay a monthly fee to participate
  
• Limits on the monetary value of the prize offered
  
• Requirement that a contest sponsor (Blizzard, in this case) have a company presence within the borders of the country, state, or territory in which the participants reside
  

For more information on who is eligible for the Arena Tournament, please visit the Ruleset page. We appreciate your understanding in those cases when eligibility has been limited due to these or other factors, and we will continue to work to include as many countries as possible in all of our competitions.

Qualifying participants were determined based on their tournament eligibility and their standings at the end of the first qualification round of the Arena Tournament. Additionally, for a team to be deemed eligible, it must have enough eligible team members to qualify. Email notifications were sent to the registered email address of eligible participants.

Reasons you may not have received an email qualification notice:

• Did not have a valid World of Warcraft Account at the time of qualification determination
  
• Are not from a country that is eligible for the Arena Tournament.
  
• Did not participate in enough games to qualify for the Arena Tournament.
  
• Did not have enough eligible team members to qualify for the Arena Tournament.
  

If you still feel that you should have received a qualification notice after reviewing the information above, please email tourneyinfo@blizzard.com with “Arena Qualification” in the subject.
