Tournament Rules

You may only enter multiple fighting game events if they are nonconsecutive! GBVSR + GGST is the only allowed multi-game combination. This is to avoid holding up the bracket. (Webfishing does not count for the limit)


  • Region locked to North America.
  • WIFI IS NOT ALLOWED. Wired connections only.
  • In the event of a connection dispute, there will be a ping & jitter test. The outcome will be up to TO discretion.
  • DQ timers will be in effect, and taking excessive time to get into game may lead to disqualification to keep the bracket moving.
  • You must check in for each match on startgg. (the usual startgg thing)
  • Stream matches will usually be Top 8 of each game, but it will depend on bracket runtime, so play your matches unless they are marked for stream!
  • Ask questions in #fighters-helpdesk, don't be afraid to ping a TO. Please specify what game you're talking about though :)
