Controls

·         Standard Xbox 360 controllers will be provided.

·         If players wish to play using an arcade stick controller they are advised to bring their own. Players are responsible for ensuring that all regulations that apply to their controller are followed.

·         Players will be allowed to change controller configuration if and only if they request it, and only at the beginning of round one of the match.

·         Only default configurations (Controller A/B/C, Arcade A/B/C) may be used. Players are advised to familiarise themselves with their required configurations and make the required adjustments to their techniques where applicable prior to the tournaments.

Side, Character & Stage Selection
Players are free to choose either side of the screen on agreement with their opponent. If an agreement cannot be reached an admin will toss a coin with the winner to choose their side.

·         Players will choose their characters, double blind selection will be used if and only if requested by either player before character selection is undertaken, in which both players will secretly inform an admin of their character choice and the admin will declare the characters used. Players will then proceed to choose that character (enforced by the admin) and any costume choices. Failure to pick their nominated character will result in forfeiting the match.

·         There are currently no bans on characters.

·         There is currently a ban on "Color 12", due to visibility. Blanka's Alternate costume 3 is banned due to making it harder to judge his rolls.

·         Stage selection will be random.

·         Winners stay as their originally selected character, however can change their ultra move.

·         Losers can change character and ultra move in the following game.


Additional information

·         Players will be given 2 minutes from the match start time to arrive at their console before forfeiting the match.

·         Where a super or ultra move is executed to end a fight, players will not be penalised for pausing the game on KO to skip the extended animation.

·         In the rare case of a full set of draws, players will be given the chance to play an extra game to find a winner.

·         The admins reserve the right to disqualify a player or group from the tournament before, during and after the tournament for any reason.

·         Any player who feels they have an issue may refer to an admin, who will make a ruling. If a player directly affected by the decision disagrees with the ruling they may appeal to the full admin group.
