Matches will then proceed normally until top 8. If you make it to top 8, you will be asked to hold your match (Winners Semifinals or Losers Quarter-Finals) until losers has caught up. This wait may be upwards of 30 minutes, just be forewarned.

Additional Event Rules

All matches are Bo3 until Winners Finals, with it, Losers Semi-Finals, Losers Finals and Grand Finals being Bo5 sets.

Auto DQ timers before Top 8 are set to 7 minutes, with 10 minutes for Round 1. Be sure to check in immediately once available. Once everyone is checked in, if you have not engaged in beginning a match within 10 minutes, a moderator may be called to check in and give a warning based on the circumstances. Moderators are capable of administering judgments including disqualification per their judgment of the circumstances of the delay. Wilful delay of sets will not be tolerated.

Most if not all of the Top 8 will be streamed. When you reach Winners Semifinals or Losers Quarterfinals, please confirm with Fro before checking in and starting your match. Winners side Top 8 will be delayed until Losers can catch up to an extent.

Ethernet Adapters required. If your match is unplayable due to your connection, you will be need to provide evidence of a wired connection (you will need to provide a screenshot of your monitor displaying your current in-game Smash Ultimate tag and current connection like so: https://i.imgur.com/4i3lEXS.jpg). If evidence is brought forth of a connection error that the players cannot agree to play on, a given moderator or Fro will determine the match outcome. Fro will not be availble to resolve non-livestream set issues, therefore moderators have final judgment on connection issues.

If you have a medical emergency, dinner has arrived or there is a family complication requiring a break, please check-in to your match in Smash.gg, let your opponent know what's going on in chat and message Fro in the discord (@Fro). That said, If the moderator team or Fro decides you are engaging in willful and repeated stalling or deliberate tactics of obfuscation, you will be disqualified from bracket per their decision.
