Rules for Double Elimination/Team Elimination Qualifiers & Semi-Finals.

  1. Before the start of play, players may opt to change their button configuration. An honor based system will allow time for both players to agree to their final configuration. If in the event that a player is accused of ?stalling? a match due to button config, an officiator will be notified and the player in question will be given a count of 10 to complete their adjustments. At the end of the count, any changes made will be final and both players will start play.

  2. Players may select any character they wish at the start of play. At the end of a set, players may opt to ?rematch? with their selected characters or to change characters. If in the event that a mistake has been made in character selection, players may opt to re-select their characters one time per match. If an agreement can not be made, officials will make spot judgements and allow/deny requests for character changes per situation.

2.1)For Team Matches ? Team members ?must- select different characters (i.e. two person team members can not both select Akuma as their characters. One team member can choose Akuma if he/she wishes, then the remaining member must choose any character except Akuma.) If duplicate characters are choosen, a warning will be given to the team in question then a reset will be administered allowing character selection to begin anew. For the duration of the day?s tournament, if the team that was issued a warning repeats this offense they will be removed from the tournament, forfeiting their placement, entrance fee, and possible banning from future events.

  1. In plain English: ?If it?s in the game, it?s legal.? As of this posting, testing on Super Street Fighter IV is unavailable. We at the CGL leave game balancing in the capable hands of the individual developers and will not intervene/ban any gameplay techniques or mechanics at this time. If in the future there are player-controlled techniques or mechanics that will give an impediment to tournament play, they will be banned and the player(s) that utilize these techniques or mechanics in question will be forfeit their match, entrance fee, and face possible banning from future events.

King of the hill:
Cost - $1.
Rules ? This competition will last for thirty (30) minutes from the start of play.

Players line up ?old school? style placing their $1 in the pot.
Players will fight in the best of 3 round matches.
The winner of the match stays seated, the loser moves on.
The loser ?may- place $1 in the pot and move to the back of the line.
At the end of the 30 minutes, the winner of the final match collects the pot.
If at the end of 30 minutes there is still a line, play will continue until the last
person in line at the end of the 30 minute mark participates. The winner of that
final match wins the pot.

At the judge?s discretion, entrance to each individual KotH event will be halted prior to the 30 minute timer. This is to prevent ?vultures? from waiting until the last minute to participate in hopes of seeking a ?fatigue advantage? over the remaining players.

We look forward to seeing you all in May!
