General Rules
- Bluetooth will be turned off on all PS5 consoles to prevent matches from accidentally being interrupted.
- When called to play a match, a player only has 10 minutes to show up before disqualification. Disqualification on the winner's side sends the player to loser's side, and disqualification on the loser's side means elimination from the tournament.
- Between matches of a set, both players only have a maximum of 5 minutes cool-down time. If an equipment failure occurs (e.g. controller dysfunction), players will not receive more than 5 minutes between sets to solve it.
- Intentional match interruption (pausing, pressing the Home button, etc.) results in a forfeited round, unless resuming the game ends in an inevitable defeat (e.g. pausing while connecting a killing move). However, depending on the situation, the referee can decide to restart the match or have the competitors play on.
Note
- All of the above rules are in accordance with the Official Tekken World Tour 2024 Ruleset.
- In order to receive points for the Tekken World Tour, players must have an account on the Tekken Esports Tournament Portal and have it linked to their start.gg account.
