1. Being familiar with the rule set and stage list
2. Entrance fees
3. Arriving on time

5. Controllers and character knowledge
6. Not being late for their set. I don't even know how you would be, unless you leave for lunch in between sets.
* The Tournament Organisers can kick you out at any time from the tournament and the house, but you probably won't unless you're a douche.
* Don't be too slow when stage striking and counter picking. It should take 30 seconds maximum.
* In the event of a port disagreement, do a Rock Paper Scissors match. Winner decides who gets priority.
* For all Melee tournaments, use of the character Master Hand is banned.
