  • If both players check-in, but a match has not been started within 10 minutes, we will DQ whoever is holding up the bracket.

Self Destructs, Stalling and Sudden Death

  • If a game ends with a self-destruct move, the results screen will determine the winner.
  • Exessive stalling in a match will result in a match forfeit at a Tournament Organizer's discretion.
  • Sudden Death with tied percentage/stock will result in a 1 stock/3 minute playoff match.
