Players are typically expected to arrive at a tournament with a controller already secured. It should not be assumed that the tournament will provide controllers to players unless expressly outlined in the rules. This clause is sometimes acronymized as '''BYOC'''. | Players are typically expected to arrive at a tournament with a controller already secured.

The user of the controller is held responsible if such an occasion occurs. Some tournaments go as far as to ban wireless controllers for these same reasons. | ||

The most basic form of the rule dictates players may tweak the rules of their specific set if all players in the match mutually agree to it. This can manifest in players requesting to play on banned stages or changing the length or amount of matches. This does technically defeat the purpose of the competition by allowing sudden rule changes, though this is typically justified by all affected parties accepting the outcome and the tournament continuing as normal. While tournament organizers usually don't impose any restrictions on the Gentleman's Rule, they may occasionally explicitly disallow banned stages from being played on at all regardless of the rule; extending or shortening the amount of games to be played in a set is generally disallowed as well. | The most basic form of the rule dictates players may tweak the rules of their specific set if all players in the match mutually agree to it.
