Controller Information: (Bring your own controller!)

• GameCube controllers will be available to rent for an additional $2. Limited quantity.

• We highly suggest that all wireless controllers have USB cables.
• We also highly suggest that players use wired controllers so transition between matches moves more smoothly. If you drop out please make sure your controller does not cause any interference.
• Players are expected to come with fully charged controllers if they are wireless. You can charge your controllers on the Switches but please note that you would be fully liable for them.

Additional Rules:

• Mii Fighters:
  • Mii Fighters are allowed in all variations. Players that make Mii Fighters have a maximum of 2 minutes to create their movesets and cannot change those movesets in between matches. The reason for this is not to waste time on creating multiple movepools. This rule may change in the future.

• Sudden Death:
  • If a game goes to Sudden Death, the winning team is determined by combined stocks and percentage at the time the game ends. If both teams are tied in stocks, the team with the lower combined percentage is the winner. In the event of a percentage tie, or a game in which both teams lose their last stock simultaneously, a 1-stock per player tiebreaker will be played with a 5-minute time limit.

• Tardiness:
  • If a team is 10 minutes late for a set, that team will receive an automatic disqualification.

• Collusion:
  • Players suspected of collusion will be disqualified from the tournament and possible future tournaments, as well as receive no refund and no payout from the event. This includes intentionally throwing a game, pot splitting, or committing any form of bracket manipulation.

• Gentlemen Agreements:
  • No gentlemen agreements allowed. Players must adhere to tournament rules. If players are unsure on a rule interpretation, they are responsible for asking a Tournament Official for clarification. If players are playing a match that are not in accordance to the venue's rules, both players are subject to a game loss and/or disqualification.

• Spirit of the Game:
  • Players must abide by the Spirit of the Game (no pun intended). Players are expected to show good sportsmanship to other competitors. We do not wish to ever to make this an unwelcome venue to any player!

• Final Rules:
  • Tournament Officials reserve the right to adjust tournament rules at their own discretion or to enact others during the event. If any violation of our rules is deemed intentional/deliberate or severe, or if we see any form of other types of cheating, we will require offending player(s) to leave venue without refund and no payout. Any disqualification, no matter the severity, will mean no refund and no payout.
