Tournament Rules
General
Be nice or leave. If anyone is seen threatening or intimidating other players / opponents, he will be asked to leave immediately.
Pausing the game will result in a match loss for the player who paused the game. This however does not apply when the “final blow” to eliminate the opponent has already been done and the animation is still running (commonly known as the “I always hit start when I play online”-reaction).
Turbo functions and Macro Controllers are not allowed.
Legacy Controller Mode is banned.
You must provide your own controller for games played on all systems.
All converters are the responsibility of the player.
Cronus Max Plus and Titan One converters are banned.
All wireless controllers other than the DualShock4 are banned.
DualShock4 players that don’t unpair their controller right after the match, are subject to disqualification.
Hardware issues are your problem. If during a match, your controller / stick stops working or is found to interfere with the gaming station so that finishing the match is not possible, your opponent may opt for a default win or request a restart of the match.
No Coaching during Matches played on Stage (Streamstation). Only the Players are allowed to be on Stage.
Not being at the station at the stated time will result in a default loss.
Make sure to check the timetables / listen to all announcements and be there in time. No complaining afterwards!
Side selection: As a general rule, players are allowed to sort out for themselves what side they want to play on before each match. If no agreement can be found, a game of rock/paper/scissors (best of 3 rounds / 1 match) will define where players will start.
