====Conduct Rules====
====Conduct Rules====
BYOC (Bring your own controller): Players are expected to bring their own controller and be prepared for every tournament set.
*Players are expected to bring their own controller and be prepared for every tournament set.
 
*In the event pause is left on accidentally and is pressed, the TO must be immediately called over. Based upon their judgment, the situation will be resolved. If the player's situation is neutral (players are not in combat), the match will be resumed as if the pause had not occurred. If the player's situation is advantageous to one individual and the player in the disadvantageous situation paused, the disadvantaged player will be either placed in a grab or onto the ledge of the stage. If a player in a death situation (Chain grabs, Grab releases, Jab-locks to a KO move, etc.) paused while in a death situation, the current stock is forfeited immediately. If the player unpauses before the TO reaches the station, the player that unpaused loses a stock.
In the event pause is left on accidentally and is pressed, immediately call over the TO. Based upon their judgment, the situation will be resolved. If your situation is neutral [players are not in combat], the match will be resumed as if the pause had not occurred. If your situation is advantageous to one individual and the player in the disadvantageous situation paused, the disadvantaged player will be either placed in a grab or onto the ledge of the stage. If a player in a death situation [Chain grabs, Grab releases, Jab-locks to a KO move, etc] paused while in a death situation, the current stock is forfeited immediately. If you unpause before the TO reaches the station, the player that unpaused loses a stock.
*During gameplay, any coaching parties must remain a finite distance determined by the TO away from the players in order to give players equal access to all coached information. Ear-side coaching is prohibited during games, but acceptable between games. Failure to adhere to this will lead to punishment at the TO's discretion, which could include the coach's removal from the venue or a call to replay the game that the coaching interfered with.
 
*Players who use the Wii Remote must take the batteries out of the Wii Remote when not playing. If the Wii Remote is still synced up to a Wii with the batteries in, the Wii Remote's owner could unintentionally disrupt a match. If problems persist, a DQ may happen.

*Players are responsible for their own controller and name tag. Any malfunctions or errors that occur are the player's responsibility (including battery issues with a Wii Remote), so players should bring an extra controller if possible and always check to make sure they are using the correct settings before a match is played. Both parties need to agree if a match is to be paused or restarted because of these problems.
 
*Intentional forfeiting, match fixing, splitting, and any other forms of bracket manipulation are not allowed and punishable by the TO.

*No substitutions are allowed for singles or doubles.
 
*DQ Rule: Arriving too late for a match will result in a DQ. Player(s) will have 5 minutes to show up before a loss of the first match. 5 more minutes results in a loss of the set. For doubles, both players on a team need to be present in order to play.

*Players are not allowed to use any game altering hacks, such as no-tripping or model hacks. If someone is caught setting up a system they brought with such hacks enabled can face punishment at the TO's discretion.
*Disrupting the opponent physically or intending to disrupt their play (through something such as screaming in a player's ear) will result in a warning. Repeated action will result in disqualification from the tournament and possibly ejection from the venue. Observers who physically disrupt players are to be dealt with as the Tournament Organiser sees fit. Disqualification is recommended if possible, and ejection from the venue is also a punishment.

If players are still tied on a step, they move down to the next one. For instance, if Player A and B both go 3-2 in sets in a round of pools, they will then proceed to the Head to Head step (who won the set between those players). Whoever won vs the other will proceed at the top of the tie.

Line 157: Line 148:
If the tie breaker reaches all the way to the One Game Rematch step, this game will play out similar to the first game of any set (though doing best of one), where users will stage strike for the stage, and may double blind characters.
If the tie breaker reaches all the way to the One Game Rematch step, this game will play out similar to the first game of any set (though doing best of one), where users will stage strike for the stage, and may double blind characters.


If at any point a tie of three or more players is partially resolved, still leaving two or more players tied, the tie between the remaining players will be decided by starting the tie breaker process over for them. For instance, if in a three way tie in the Wins step, one player has six wins while the others have 5, the player with 6 wins will be the top of the 3. The remaining two players will start back at Sets Wins to determine who is higher between the two instead of proceeding onto the Losses step right away.

The remaining two players will start back at Sets Wins to determine who is higher between the two instead of proceeding onto the Losses step right away.
