Tournament Standards

• Platform: PlayStation 5
• This event is participating in the 2025 Tekken World Tour, and follows all rules defined the Tekken World Tour 2025 Official Rules.

Tournament Rules

• All Matches will be best-of-three, in which the Player who wins two (2) Sets first wins the Match, with the exception that the Winner’s Bracket finals, Losers Bracket semi-finals, Losers Bracket finals, and Grand Finals of each Tournament Event bracket will be best-of-five, in which the Player who wins three (3) Sets first wins the Match.
• The winner of any single Set is determined when the Game awards the win to that Player or upon the opponent causing a match disruption or other violation of the Rules as determined by the Tournament Organizer staff member.
• During a Match, the winner of any single Set must comply with the following winner lock rules:
  • At the start of a Match:
    • Players select their sides. Players may mutually agree on who sits on left and right side, corresponding to Player 1 and Player 2, respectively, at the start of a Set. Players are committed to this selection for the entirety of the Match. If Players cannot agree to a Side Selection, they will play a Best-of-Three Rock-Paper-Scissors to determine who picks their side first. The winner of the Best-of-Three Rock-Paper-Scissors picks their side first and will be committed to that selection for the entirety of the Match.
  • Each Player selects their character from all selectable characters and the stage is selected at random;
  • After any single Set, the winner is "locked" into their character and they are not permitted to switch their character until or unless they lose a subsequent single Set;
  • All single Sets are loser's choice; and
  • The loser of any single Set may choose between returning to stage select and choosing a new randomly selected stage or returning to character select to choose a new character and a new randomly selected stage.
