General Rules and Regulations

  1. All characters may be played, including unlockable characters.
  2. If a player doesn't show up on time for their match, they will be given a 2 minute grace period before it will go down as a forfeit. This counts for teams as well.
  3. In the case of a console/TV/Routing malfunction, the game will be restarted from the beginning, no matter what time it crashed.
  4. Players must conduct themselves in a reasonable manner. Permanent ejection of a player from the tournament is at the staff's discretion.
  5. Spectators may not communicate with a player while he or she is competing (providing tips or heckling and other forms of verbal abuse). Breaking of this rule will result in ejection of the spectator, and in extreme cases, forfeit of the game. Cheering is encouraged, however.
  6. Any intentional forfeiting or conspiring to manipulate the rankings/brackets will result in ejection.
  7. Any other sign of cheating will also result in forfeit of the game.
  8. Do not quit out of a game without the permission of your station's referee. Unauthorized quitting before the game has ended results in an automatic forfeit.
  9. Players' chosen gamer tags, if used, must be of "good taste."
  10. Starting a game without the approval of a referee will result in restarting the game as well as a possible disqualification for failure to follow directions.
  11. All decisions made by tournament officials are final and not subject to debate.
