- Pausing a tournament match can cost you a stock.
- If a match pauses during gameplay, get your bracket runner or TO. The player whose controller paused the game will receive a stock loss. Any further pauses on that player's part forfeits a game.
- In the event that the game pause is due to a legitimate hardware malfunction you may be allowed to get another controller and restart that game.
