For a while, I had offered sample contracts for esports teams here on the blog. However, due to the change of the design and adjustments to the structure of the site, they are currently not available. However, since I keep getting inquiries about this, I would like to post it again.

Key Facts

The blog offers sample contracts for esports teams that are temporarily unavailable due to design changes.
The contracts are intended to serve as a basis for discussion and require individual adjustments for the respective requirements.
They are no substitute for legal advice and the author accepts no liability for their use.
Contract for players as contractual partners: Sample_Esports_Contract 1.0.
Contract for players in marginal employment: Sample employment contract for marginally employed players.
The contracts are rudimentary, ideal for small teams without a large budget.
They are useful for the first steps in drafting contracts in esports.

But beware: the contracts are always intended only to help you think about how contracts for Esport teams might look, so that you can make your own adjustments. The samples explicitly do not replace legal advice and I do not assume any liability for the use of the contracts or for the use for a specific purpose!

This contract is intended for the use of the player as a contractual partner: Sample_Esports_Contract 1.0

This contract is intended for use of the player in the form of marginal employment: Sample employment contract marginal employee

The contracts are very rudimentary, but should be a good basis for discussion, especially for small teams that want to take their first steps and cannot or do not yet have the budget for an extensive contract.
