TOURNAMENT FORMAT & RULES.

• The tournament will be held according to the TWT2025 rules: https://www.bandainamcoent.com/legal/community-events/official-rules-twt

• We play on: Playstation 5

• Each tournament participant undertakes to bring their own controller on which they will play and a cable, in the case of a wireless controller, and other accessories such as adapters required for the controller to work on Playstation 5. The organizer does not undertake to provide controllers, cables or adapters.

• Remember to disconnect your controller after the fight - it is also the players' responsibility to check that all controllers in the console are disconnected before the fight.

Double Elimination.

Tournament Event will be played as a double elimination (a “Double Elimination”) bracket competition, in which Players compete in Matches starting from what is known as the winner’s side of the bracket (the “Winner’s Bracket”). If a Player loses a Match while in the Winner's Bracket, that Player will be moved to the loser’s side of the bracket (the “Loser’s Bracket”). If a Player loses a Match while in the Loser’s Bracket, that Player is eliminated and will no longer advance further in the bracket for that Tournament Event. The winner of the Winner’s Bracket will play against the winner of the Losers Bracket in the Grand Finals of the Tournament Event, as set forth below.

Match Play.

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 final, Losers Bracket semi-final, Losers Bracket final, and Grand Final 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 Set:

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;

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.
