Thank you for being part of The FUSE Cup community. Please ensure you read the Term and Conditions which make up the basis of your schools' registration.
Game Selection The FUSE Cup acknowledges that the selection of games for its competitions may be subject to change. Schools participating in The FUSE Cup are expected to bear the financial responsibility associated with acquiring these designated games. It is crucial for schools to recognize that any costs incurred in purchasing both games and consoles will be solely their responsibility. In the event that games are procured by schools but are ultimately not utilized in FUSE Cup competitions, The FUSE Cup explicitly states that it will not be accountable for any reimbursements. This policy extends to both games and consoles, emphasizing the importance of prudent decision-making and careful consideration before making purchases for the competition.
Cancellations
The FUSE Cup works hard to ensure that we provide the best possible esports experiences for schools and students.
We have updated our reminder process so that schools are given notice of competitions at various time periods ahead of any upcoming event. Several reminders are sent before any live competition is scheduled to occur. It is responsibility of schools to ensure they are receiving correspondence from The FUSE Cup and action accordingly. You may need to check your spam folder and pass on the information to your staff members..
We understand that there are times when schools cannot attend a scheduled event. When this happens, we require at least 14 days notice from the scheduled event. We will work with you to offer an alternative solution for this cancellation.
Cancellations will not be possible with less than 14 days notice to the scheduled event, and partial registration for the missed event will be forfeited.
All cancellation requests must be communicated to hello@thefusecup.com.au or kristen@thefusecup.com.au within the specified time frame above to be accepted.
Failure to RSVP to an event is not means of cancellation.

Possible change to any LIVE Events due to imposed restrictions
2020 saw a huge shift in the way business needed to adapt and deliver their services in different ways. Schools across the world moved their learning online to ensure that students were not missing out on their learning. We did the same. We moved all of our competitions online for areas where COVID restrictions made our scheduled live events impossible. We did not cancel as we couldn't bear the thought of students missing out.
While moving things online was difficult and far from ideal for industries effected by COVID, it did mean that there was a level of continued service. Again, the example of schools fits well here. Many found remote learning challenging and problematic, however, almost every body agrees that remote learning was better than no learning.
The FUSE Cup prides itself on delivering the best LIVE school esports experience for players and educators. We need our schools to understand however, that should we not be able to host our live events, an online tournament will be arranged for those schools impacted by any restrictions within this region, such as but not limited to COVID. We will still deliver the competition, only in an online format. Again, we hope this does not eventuate but if it does, your school will need to make arrangements to participate in the online event. Schools who do not participate in an online event that has been arranged in place of impacted live event, will be deemed as a "no show" and forfeit their entry into that specific event/competition. Memberships will not be extended past their 12 month validity nor will credits be applied.
