No matches will be floated beyond the top 16 unless both parties agree with the ruling!
CONDUCT
Players must conduct themselves in a reasonable manner. Permanent ejection of a player from the tournament is at the staff's discretion. Any sign of cheating will also result in forfeit of the game. Any intentional forfeiting or conspiring to manipulate the brackets will result in ejection and possible suspension from future tournaments.
On all console tournament games:
This is a (B.Y.O.C. = Bring Your Own Controller/converter or Joystick) tournament for all of the console games. You are responsible for your equipment and we will not supply anyone with a controller or converter at this tournament for any console tournament. You might beable to rent a controller from waba games to use during the tournament, but you'll have to ask that question when you get here.
If you hit the start button or a malfunction in your equipment happens during a match that makes the game pauses or resets during a tournament match get the head judge in charge of running that tournament to decide what will happen next for that match. Replays are automatic if it's at the beginning of the match and you have played 5-10 seconds in the game with no one having an advantage in the match. It's not my problem if "YOUR STICK" malfunction's during a tournament. I WILL BE THE FINAL SAY ON ANY PROBLEMS THAT MY TOURNAMENT JUDGES CAN'T RESOLVE!
I have had alot of email's about "button shouldering/mapping" in certain genre of games. I don't believe in them due to me growing up playing 2d fighters in the arcade's. I want to keep the tournaments as close to arcade perfect as I can, so I came up with this solution:
"Button shouldering" will "NOT" be allowed in the following games:
All capcom 2d fighters, and all snk fighters
(THAT MEANS IF YOU RESET YOUR BUTTONS YOU MUST PUT THE DEFAULT MULTI-BUTTONS ON BLANK or no function!!!) So that mean you won't have your 3xkick button, or 3xpunch button. This applies to snk games also. Any default presets that are "NOT" like the arcade set up are "not allowed". If you don't have a 3x punch or kick button in the arcade then you won't use it during the tournament! We are trying to make it as close to arcade type tournament as possible and NO button mapping is the traditional way to play capcom and snk games IMO. I don't care where you put them on your controler/joystick but you should only have the following buttons input's for the following games:
Capcom games that are on consoles will have only 6 button inputs allowed on your controller/joystick and they are:
1. Jab punch=light punch
2. Strong punch=medium punch
3. Fierce punch=hard punch
4. Short kick=light kick
5. forward kick=medium kick
6. roundhouse kick=hard punch
This goes for the following games:
Street Fighter Four
Street Fighter III 3rd strike
SNK-Playmore games on console inputs that are allowed:
1. Light punch
2. Heavy punch
3. Light kick
4. Heavy kick
This goes for the following games:
KOF2k2UM
KOF12
"Button Shouldering/mapping" "Will" be allowed for SC4.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you are playing in multiple games you need to notify a organizer when you are about to play in another game, so they can skip your match on the brackets and come back to you after you completed the other tournament match.
Also once the tournament starts you are responsible for knowing when your next match will come up. If you have to go for a food or bathroom break, then "PLEASE" notify the judge at your station or "me" that you will be gone for a few minutes. The judge should beable to tell you when your next game will be and how long you have before your next match up. Act like you have been to a tournament before people and everything will run smoothly.
If anyone is willing to bring a tv+system I WILL PAY for your badge! You can never have too many tv's+systems imo at a console tournament! Make sure they aren't TV's with lag. You maybe use to playing on them, but if they have lag I can't use them due to everyone will complain playing on them! We will test them out before we give you the badge. Also they must be atleast a 19" tv with system and game to qualify for a badge. Let's kick this new series off with a bang! I hope to see everyone here
The main reason tournament staple games like T5DR, GGXXac, 3S, and MvC2 are going down to $5 is because those games are getting kinda old and I didn't know if people were going to MOVE on and not really play them anymore. I wanted the focus to be on the new games at SEB and with the lowwer price on the old joints that may get others to enter the tournament that normally wouldn't if it was at $10. We are in a resession, so I don't want to price people out of having a chance to play. We had our lowest turnout's in 4 years at FR12 for MvC2 and 3S and I want to see if those games are really dead or if the price change is needed to continue having them at a major!

The main reason tournament staple games like T5DR, GGXXac, 3S, and MvC2 are going down to $5 is because those games are getting kinda old and I didn't know if people were going to MOVE on and not really play them anymore. I wanted the focus to be on the new games at SEB and with the lowwer price on the old joints that may get others to enter the tournament that normally wouldn't if it was at $10.

This is the qualifier for fr13.
