Rules
-This is a Double-Elimination tournament, best 2 of 3 games per match. If you lost your first match, YOU ARE STILL IN.
-All characters (Evil Ryu/Oni included) are legal.
-Games are 2/3 rounds, 99 Timer.
-Winning player must keep the same character within the same match. Opponent may counter-pick.
-Winning player may switch ultra, but must allow opponent to counter-pick his ultra.
-Double-blind character selection available upon request for the first game per match.
-No restriction on infinite combos or characters. Glitches are allowed if they do not crash (soft-crash or hard-crash) the game.
-Sudden Death: In the event of a tie, BOTH players will take a loss. If it comes down to the final match for both players, then a Sudden Death blind-pick single game will determine the outcome.
-Controller Failure: If you suspect your arcade controls of malfunctioning, immediately raise your hands to halt the match. You **may not retroactively **call control failure after a round or match has finished. This will be penalized as a Forfeiture if abused to gain an advantage in a match.
-DQ/Forfeiture: If you cause interference during a match (due to physical distraction), you are subject to forfeiture of the round. If it is deemed intentional, you may be subject to a two-round forfeiture or outright disqualification.
-Cover-My-Ass-Clause: In case of a dispute that is covered by this ruleset, final decision will be made by a judge. In the case of an event not covered by this ruleset, all decisions made by judges are final.

Thanks in advance for all the video work StriderZer0 is doing for us. He’s got setups for hopefully a direct feed with a live stream, and a camera for crowd reactions!
We’ve also possibly got a donation for a grand prize for the full Ranbat season. I won’t announce it until I’ve got confirmation, but if it comes through, it will be very cool!
All dates may be subject to change with or without notice. If something does change I’ll try and post up as soon as possible.
