These are the rules that will be in place for every tourney unless they are otherwise stated in the thread started for a tourney. There can be exceptions to the rules but they will be handled on a case by case basis by ryu.
1) first and second place winners of a 1v1 tournament may not enter the next 1v1 tournament. This way we don't have the same people winning repeatedly and if we need to increase the number of times a player is required to abstain from tournaments in order for everyone to have a chance to win then we can do so down the road.
2) first and second place winning teams of a 2v2 tournament must be split up and pair off with people eliminated in the first rounds of the next 2v2 tournament or abstain from the next 2 2v2 tournaments.
3) try to stick to story or easily acquired titles only, if you are unsure of a title ask kris (ifenrir) who is in charge of making this decision. If kris tells you that your title for a tournament then please remove it.
4) no HA's, their a pain and can quickly unbalance a match
5) Be a good sport, a loss of composure here will not only result in removal from competition but could also result in being expelled from the guild
6) Spar gear only. We want things to be kept as even as possible and with there already being a character level difference in some cases, we would prefer to keep the field as even as possible
7) 1 entry per player
8) Keep your lag in check, heavy lag will be disqualification
9) Guild only, guilded characters only, unless otherwise specified in the tourney rules
10) if you are not present within 5 minutes after your match is supposed to start you will be disqualified. You may not substitute in for a missing partner if your partner is away. Your opponent will automatically advance and you will be disqualified.
11) No use of couples skill, same problem as HA, they can quickly unbalance a match
