Arcade Mode Tournament at VR Voom locations throughout Auckland

About Pistol Whip:

"Pistol Whip is designed as a kind of psychedelic version of Superhot, filled with pulsing lights, bright colors, and simplistic but evocative environments and character models that are all synced to the beat of the music. Your own body is represented by one — or two, if you decide to dual wield — floating guns. Who you are doesn’t matter in this game, you’re not a character. You’re you..." Ben Kuchera, Polygon.

General Knowledge:

  • Competitors must be at least 13 years of age, or older, to participate. If you are under 18, but over 13, you must have permission from a parent or legal guardian in order to compete.
  • You must sign-up with VR Voom before participating in the tournament in the Arcade Mode.
  • Players are required to keep all In-Game Names or aliases appropriate. (ie. ABSOLUTELY NO racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, political, offensive naming, etc.) This will be a ‘Zero Tolerance’ policy and is at the sole discretion of VR Voom & VAL.
  • All score submissions, screenshots, player submitted photos, related to the 2020 Pistol Whip tournament become the property of VAL and may be used for marketing and other purposes. If players share broadcast material such as twitch streams, tournament photos, tournament videos, etc with VAL, VAL reserves the right to use these in a marketing context.
  • VAL reserves the right to change, alter, replace, or modify this rule set at any time, and without prior notification.
  • Virtual Reality esports can be an intense physical experience. Do not enter the competition without following all terms of service, guardian warnings, and other safety measures as outlined in the individual device warnings and manufacturers. Competitors who are not able to participate in robust physical exercise should not enter the competition. VR esports is a fun activity, exercise the same caution as regular sports.
  • VR Voom & VAL is not responsible for any injury incurred while participating in the Pistol Whip tournament .

Arcade Competitive Rules:

  • Competitors will complete two songs (Black Magic & Download the Future), taking screenshots of their scores, after each song. VAL will add these two scores together to calculate the, combined, final score.
  • Levels will be completed on ‘Hard’ difficulty with only the ‘No-Fail’ modifier active. (FAILURE TO SUBMIT SCORE WITH THE APPROPRIATE MODIFIERS WILL RESULT IN A DISQUALIFICATION)
  • Players can return to try again, as many times as they would like within the event period.
  • Scores will be reviewed and winners announced within 24-48hrs after score submission closing.

Arcade Prize Breakdown:

  • VAL will be responsible for the notification and payment of prizing unless otherwise stated specifically.
  • Prizes will be paid out via PayPal, and all winners will be issued a 1099 and additional paperwork, as required by applicable law.
  • Once scores and information have been reviewed and verified, VAL will have 30 days to notify and payout prize money to contestants.

Grand Finals :

Finalists will be selected after both the Home and Arcade score submission windows have closed.

The top 3 competitors between both Home and Arcade portions, at the close of score submissions, will be given an all-expenses-paid trip to Salt Lake City, Utah to compete in a double round-robin Pistol Whip Competition

All final rules relating to the grand final are still TBA, including expense coverage, lodging, any health or safety requirements will be published in a separate document that the top 3 finalists will be required to sign through electronic signature.

The grand finals will be filmed - VAL shall retain all broadcast rights.

All finals will take place in mixed reality with no exceptions.

All modes, songs, and modifiers for the grand finals are still TBD - for example deadeye or other modes may be used at the finals. New songs may also be revealed!

The Grand Finals Prize breakdown is as follows :

  • 1st Place - $2500 and an Oculus Rift S
  • 2nd Place -$1500 and an Oculus Rift S
  • 3rd Place - $1000 and an Oculus Rift S
