To come play for the day is only $5 which goes to the house to cover costs. This $5 cost will give you entry to any of the leisure and "for fun" tournaments where we will have prizes and swag to give away. Additionally, there will be a $15 registration for each player who wishes to compete in a cash singles bracket, and $20 per team for any two player group looking to compete in a cash doubles bracket. The full amount of the cash event registration fees will go back to the players as prizes. Players may register online or in person the day of the event, and registration for the cash events will take place at the time of entry.

General Rules
All players must bring their own controllers. No modded controllers, or special features such as turbo or macro buttons may be used. If a player is found using a special feature button, they will be disqualified from the tournament.
All competitive brackets will be double elimination unless they are simply too large for it to fit in the allotted time. If they are too large, we will attempt to do a double elimination for the final 16 or 32 spots.
In the case of a GameCube/TV malfunction, the current round will be restarted, no matter the current outcome. However, if a player intentionally causes a malfunction, then that player will be awarded a loss for that round.
Anyone found using cheats, or other documented exploits will be disqualified and awarded a loss for that match.
All players are expected to obey the general CyberJocks rules of conduct posted on this website, and around the facility! We only want players with great attitudes that want to some good clean competitive fun!
