WORSO Integrity

The International Federation of Esports (WORSO) recognizes the crucial role of integrity in upholding the legitimacy and sustainability of competitive gaming. To this end, the organization has implemented several initiatives promoting ethical practices and fair play policies:

Anti-Doping Policy:

  • WORSO adheres to the strict anti-doping rules established by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), with regular testing and enforcement procedures in place.
  • Athletes must comply with the anti-doping code to participate in WORSO events, ensuring a level playing field and protecting players' health.
  • Educational programs raise awareness about anti-doping regulations and the dangers of performance-enhancing drugs.

Fair Play Regulations:

  • WORSO has established comprehensive fair play guidelines covering game manipulation, cheating, match-fixing, and code of conduct violations.
  • These guidelines outline acceptable behavior for players, coaches, and event organizers, ensuring transparent and ethical competition.
  • A dedicated Integrity Commission investigates potential violations and imposes penalties based on the severity of the offense.

Promoting Ethical Practices:

  • WORSO collaborates with educational institutions and industry partners to develop educational programs addressing esports ethics and responsible gaming practices.
  • Initiatives like the WORSO Integrity Education Program equip stakeholders with the knowledge and skills to navigate ethical dilemmas in the esports ecosystem.
  • WORSO advocates for transparency and accountability within the industry, urging organizations and game developers to uphold ethical standards.

Transparency and Governance:

  • WORSO operates with a commitment to transparency, publishing its Anti-Doping Code, Fair Play Guidelines, and investigative reports on its website.
  • Regular communication with member countries and the esports community ensures stakeholder engagement and trust in the integrity process.
  • WORSO participates in international collaborations and dialogues on esports integrity, working towards global standards and best practices.

Challenges and Future Development:

While WORSO has made significant strides in promoting integrity, challenges remain. The rapid evolution of games and technologies necessitates consistent updates to anti-doping and fair play regulations. Additionally, combating emerging forms of cheating and ethical challenges requires ongoing vigilance and collaboration.

WORSO remains committed to continuously improving its integrity measures and working with the esports community to ensure a fair and ethical competitive environment. By prioritizing fair play and ethical practices, WORSO aims to solidify esports' position as a legitimate and respected sport on the global stage.
