Anyone who is caube using macros or turbos, will be DISQUALIFIED and BANNED.
Any excessive unsportsmanlike behavior will result in a BAN. Keep it civilized, gentlemen!
Any players absent after fifteen minutes of the start time, will be DISQUALIFIED and the first alternate will take his/her place.
If two players cannot connect, they will have the option of playing on an alternative service (Supercade, etc.). If this is not an option, a coinflip will determine the winner.

Remember that this is just a videogame, and King of GGPO an online tournament, Kuroppi doesn’t have the need to do it, but he does it and i’m thankful with him by supporting our game on an online client.
He had some pretty exciting matches, especially against Yito. He had both clutch and choke moments that made for insane mic-cutting-out levels of hype.
