  • Players must be vigilant on the Ronin Rumble Discord during the tournament. We need to run this tournament quickly!
  • In the rare case that players cannot connect to each other, after getting both players to reset their console and modem-- we have to coin flip 2/3 to decide the winner. Sorry! I know it sucks, I can't change PSN's infrastructure.
  • If there any other player disputes occur (ie: whoever takes P1 or P2 lobby player slot), either the TO or a coin flip will determine the solution-- methodology chosen by TO's discretion.
  • Repeat offenders who hold up the tournament flow (including excessive/unnecessary delays, starting streamed matches without waiting for commentators, etc.) will now be counted against you in a manually assigned (1-5) strike fashion. Upon the third strike, player relinquishes their next game. Upon fourth strike, player relinquishes their next match. Upon fifth strike, player is disqualified from tournament. Strikes will NOT be assigned to anyone who makes the rare mistake every once in a while, this rule is only in place to ensure we have a system against negligence.
  • Payout is 50/50 for 1st and 2nd place of the West vs East Coastal Showdown.
