This series of tournaments is intended for Canadians living in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. Players from Eastern Canada, the territories, and the United States are more than welcome to attend. The dates for this event were established months ago and not intended to coincide with Final Round, but I don’t believe anyone would have been interested in attending both events anyway.

General Tournament Format and Rules:
-DO NOT BE LATE. We cannot accept entries for a tournament after it has already begun. We’ll start accepting entries 1 hour before the tournament is scheduled to begin.
-If you are not present for a tournament match within 3 minutes of being called, you are disqualified. Exceptions include playing a match in another tournament (NOT CASUALS) and taking an emergency dump in the washroom.
-If you behave in a manner that threatens the safety of other players, you will be removed without refund.
-If you are caught stealing sticks or other equipment, you will be banned for life and called out publicly.
-“Two-player tournaments” are NOT the responsibility of WCC2. If someone doesn’t pay up, it’s not our problem… but see two lines up.
-Players will be seeded by region. This includes non-Alberta provinces, Calgary, Hobbema, and “factions” within Edmonton. Otherwise, placements will be random. If scrubydan and I end up playing each other first, for example, sucks to be me.
-Double Elimination, best-of-3 sets, best-of-5 bracket finals, best-of-7 grand finals.
-The winner of a match must retain his/her character/team in the following match.
-Players may opt for blind select before entering the select screen.
-Players are responsible for configuring their inputs before beginning a match/set. If reconfiguration at the beginning of Round 1 is necessary, the players will reset to the select screen and pick the same characters.
-Team tournaments will follow the standard last-man-standing format.
-In-game button-mapping is permitted (PPP is okay, but autofire or special move macros are not) except for XSF.
-Pot distribution will be 70/20/10. Winners of singles tournaments also receive a trophy!
-Rules for Capcom games will be consistent with Evolution. SFIV Seth/Gouken and STHD Akuma are legal.
-Rules for Brawl TBA.
-Rules for other non-Capcom games will follow tournament standards set throughout the continent.
