Receiving your Prize Money

All operations regarding prizes are currently on hold due to winter holidays. They will resume in the first weeks of January.

Before you become alarmed that you did not receive the tax form or the prize money yet, please be aware of the following:

1) All operations are handled manually, not automatically, and your information is first processed before the prize money is sent.
2) All operations are handled Monday - Friday, usually during USE business hours.
3) It usually takes a few days up to a week to fully process everything, sometimes longer depending on how fast you have filled out the required info and the amount of workload currently present.
4) Receiving the prize money is slow for the first Cycle and Qualifiers because of the huge amount of teams that are being processed for the first time. The prizes for the next Cycles will be sent faster as your info is already processed by then.
5) Sending an e-mail during the weekend - you will receive an answer during the week.

Please make sure you have:

1) Submitted your PayPal information correctly, in the team profile (info section).
2) The e-mail address is a valid one.
3) You have filled out the tax form correctly once received.
4) Read the 'Prizes' section from the FAQ's.

If you have any issues throughout this process please contact an admin (read '9. Contacting an Admin' from 3. HoN Tour Rules if you don't know how).




Creating new teams

Bug Status: fixed.
Bug specifics: newly created teams were restricted regarding the number of free additions (system that should not affect them).

Teams affected by this bug were fixed. All newly created teams are free to perform any number of roster changes, until they participate in their first Bronze event.
