A. Tournament Rules

  1. Tournament Length

    This tournament is Double Elimination (two total match losses).
  1. Set Length

    All tournament sets will be best-of-three. 
  1. Set Procedure
    1. Players select a random stage.
    2. The winner must keep all characters on their team, but may elect to change their starting order.
    3. The loser may elect to change the characters on their team.
    4. Teams may consist of one, two, or three characters with any ratio combination.
    5. Repeat steps two through four until the set is complete.
  1. Double-Blind Character Selection

    Either player may request that a double-blind selection occur. In this situation, a pool captain, referee, or third party will be told, in secret, each player’s character choices for the first round. Both players will then select their first round character, with the designated third party person validating that the character selections match the players’ initial choices.
  1. Pausing and the Home Button

    Pauses are not permitted once the game has started except for the purpose of summoning a Tournament Official for cases of controller malfunction, external interference, or case-by-case reasons as deemed valid by Tournament Officials. All other pauses will incur a round loss to the player who pauses the game (or game losses, if the round results in a decisive win).
  1. Warm-ups

    Pauses (including the use of the PS4 button) are not permitted once the game has started. Pausing is only legal for the purpose of summoning a Tournament Official for cases of controller malfunction, external interference, or other case-by-case reasons as deemed valid by Tournament Officials. All other pauses will incur a round loss to the player who pauses the game, or game losses if the round results in a decisive win.
  1. Tardiness

    Anyone who is not present for their set by ten minutes past the scheduled start time of the tournament round is subject to total disqualification from the event.
