Players will have 99 seconds to select their characters, karts, kart pieces, and driving options at the same time. Driving options are defined as options with Auto Acceleration, Motion Steering, and Smart Steering. Characters, karts, kart pieces, and driving options are locked in after confirmation and may not be changed during the set.

Players will have at maximum 30 seconds between tracks to continue. Once all players have agreed they are ready, or 30 seconds has elapsed, the next track will begin.

Top 2 players from each Cup will advance to the next round.

Pausing is not allowed, except to summon a Tournament Official or in the case of a controller malfunction. All other pauses will incur a track loss to the player who pauses the game. If a pause occurs, a Tournament Official must be called during the pause to issue a resume countdown. This rule also applies to controllers which cause the game to revert to the Switch home screen.
