Terms of Service

Version 2026-10-08 · Effective October 8, 2026

Draft. This document has not yet been reviewed by an attorney and may change. Questions are welcome at jordan@myogambit.com.

1. Who we are

MYO Gambit (“MYO Gambit”, “we”, “us”) is a business based in California, United States. We provide online software that independent tournament organizers use to publish pickleball tournaments, take registrations and payments, and run their events (the “Service”), available at myogambit.com.

2. Accepting these Terms

These Terms of Service are an agreement between you and MYO Gambit. You accept them when you tick the box agreeing to them while finishing your profile, and you must accept them to register for a tournament or to run one. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

The Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information. The Refund and Cancellation Policy is part of these Terms. If you run tournaments, the Tournament Organizer Agreement also applies to you.

3. Eligibility and accounts

  • You must be at least 13 years old to hold an account.
  • If you are 13 to 17, you may use the Service only with the permission of a parent or legal guardian, who must review these Terms and agrees to them on your behalf.
  • A child under 13 may not hold an account. A parent or legal guardian who wants to enter a child under 13 in a tournament must arrange the entry directly with the tournament organizer.
  • You must give accurate information, including your name and date of birth, and keep it up to date. Divisions use it to decide who may enter.
  • You are responsible for your account and for keeping your password private. One person, one account.

4. Our role: we provide software

MYO Gambit is a software provider. We do not organize, host, sponsor, supervise, officiate or insure the tournaments listed on the Service, unless a tournament’s page expressly names MYO Gambit as its organizer. We do not own or control any venue. We do not employ tournament organizers, and they are not our agents.

5. Tournament organizers are independent

Each tournament is created and run by an independent organizer. The organizer alone is responsible for the event: its venue and the safety of that venue, its staff and volunteers, its rules and format, who is eligible, its schedule, medical and emergency arrangements, insurance, prizes, its refund policy, and compliance with the laws that apply to it. When you register for a tournament, your agreement to take part in that event is with its organizer, not with us.

6. Responsibilities of organizers and participants

Organizers must describe their events accurately, honour the registrations they accept, and run their events lawfully and safely. Participants must enter only divisions they are eligible for, follow the organizer’s rules, and behave safely and respectfully at events. Both must use the Service honestly.

7. Registering for a tournament

  • A place in a division is held for a limited time while you complete registration, and is released if you do not finish.
  • A paid registration is confirmed only when the payment has cleared. A free registration is confirmed when you complete it.
  • Before you pay you are shown the tournament’s refund policy and rules where the organizer has provided them, and the full amount you will be charged. By completing a registration you accept that tournament’s rules and refund policy.
  • Doubles entries may depend on a partner completing their own registration. A waitlist place is not a registration.
  • Organizers may combine, cancel or change divisions, and may withdraw a participant in line with their rules.

8. Entry fees and payment processing

Entry fees are set by the organizer and are charged by the organizer through Stripe, a third-party payment processor, on the organizer’s own Stripe account. The organizer is the seller: its name appears on your statement. MYO Gambit does not receive, hold or control entry-fee funds, and does not store your card details. Your use of Stripe is subject to Stripe’s own terms and privacy policy.

9. Our platform fee

The Service is free for organizers to use. We earn a platform fee on each paid registration. Our standard platform fee is $2.50 per paid registration, charged to the organizer and deducted from the entry fee, so it does not increase the price a participant pays. A different fee applies only where we have agreed it with an organizer in writing. If a fee is ever charged to a participant on top of the entry fee, it is shown as a separate line before payment. Payment processing fees are charged by Stripe to the organizer and are separate from our platform fee.

10. Refunds, cancellations, chargebacks and disputes

Refunds of entry fees are decided and paid by the organizer under the tournament’s refund policy. The Refund and Cancellation Policy explains this, including what happens to our platform fee, and forms part of these Terms. If you dispute a charge with your bank, the dispute is between you, the organizer and Stripe. Please contact the organizer first.

11. Tournament rules and eligibility

Each organizer sets its own rules, formats, seeding and eligibility, including age, gender and rating requirements. The Service applies the rules the organizer has configured; it does not decide them. Disputes about rules, seeding, scores, results or eligibility are decided by the organizer. Ratings shown from DUPR are provided by DUPR, and results may be reported to DUPR where you have connected your DUPR account.

12. Conduct and prohibited activities

You agree not to:

  • give false information, impersonate anyone, or register someone without their permission;
  • enter a division you know you are not eligible for;
  • interfere with the Service, probe or bypass its security, or access data that is not yours;
  • scrape or bulk-collect information about players or organizers;
  • use the Service to harass, threaten or defraud anyone, or for anything unlawful;
  • copy, resell or reverse engineer the Service.

13. Sports carry risk

Pickleball is a physical activity. Taking part carries real risks, including falls, collisions, being struck by a ball or paddle, heat illness, cardiac events and other serious injury, and in rare cases death. You take part voluntarily and are responsible for deciding whether you are fit to play. We do not inspect venues, check equipment, supervise play or provide medical care.

14. Organizer waivers

Organizers of paid events must ask participants to accept a liability waiver that the organizer provides. A waiver is the organizer’s document and an agreement between you and the organizer. We record which version you accepted and when, on the organizer’s behalf. We do not write, review or endorse organizers’ waivers and make no promise about their legal effect.

15. Minors

Organizers decide whether players under 18 may enter their events. A waiver accepted by a person under 18 may not be legally binding, so an organizer who admits players under 18 is responsible for obtaining the signature of a parent or legal guardian. Confirmed entrants, including entrants aged 13 to 17, are listed publicly on the tournament’s page by name, profile photo and rating. A parent or guardian who permits a minor to use the Service accepts this.

16. Intellectual property

The Service, including its software, design and the MYO Gambit name and logo, belongs to us and is protected by law. We give you a limited, personal, non-transferable permission to use the Service as these Terms allow. Nothing else is licensed to you.

17. Your content

You keep ownership of what you add to the Service, such as profile photos, tournament descriptions, rules, logos, waivers and messages. You give us permission to host, store, display and transmit it as needed to operate the Service, and you confirm you have the right to add it. We may remove content that breaks these Terms or the law.

18. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the Service at any time and may ask us to delete your account as the Privacy Policy describes. We may suspend or close an account or an organization that breaks these Terms, creates risk for others, or where the law requires it. Closing an account does not undo registrations already made, payments already taken, or records we must keep.

19. Availability and errors

We work to keep the Service running and accurate, but it may be interrupted, delayed or contain errors, including in schedules, brackets, scores and standings. Organizers are responsible for checking the information for their events. We may change or discontinue features.

20. No warranties

To the extent the law allows, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not warrant any tournament, organizer, venue or participant. Some laws do not allow certain warranties to be excluded, so some of this may not apply to you.

21. Limits on our liability

To the extent the law allows, MYO Gambit is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, arising from the Service or from any tournament. To the extent the law allows, our total liability to you for all claims relating to the Service is limited to the greater of (a) the platform fees we received in connection with your registrations or your events in the twelve months before the claim arose, and (b) $100.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, including liability for fraud, willful injury, or gross negligence. These limits do not affect the responsibility of a tournament organizer for its own event.

22. Indemnification

To the extent the law allows, you agree to defend and hold MYO Gambit harmless from third-party claims, and the reasonable costs of responding to them, that arise from your breach of these Terms, your violation of the law, or content you added to the Service. Organizers have further obligations under the Tournament Organizer Agreement.

23. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute relating to these Terms or the Service will be brought in the state or federal courts located in California, and you and we consent to those courts. Please contact us first; most problems can be resolved informally. These Terms do not require arbitration and do not ask you to give up the right to take part in a class action.

The Service is currently offered for tournaments held in California. If you use it from elsewhere, you are responsible for complying with your local laws.

24. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. Each version carries a version identifier and an effective date at the top of this page. When a change is material, we will ask you to accept the new version before you continue to use your account. The version you accepted, and when, is recorded.
