RULES

Rules are standard for every game.

Double elimination tournament brackets with best two out of three matches.
Grand finals  and Winners/Losers finals are three out of five.
Winner keeps same character, loser may switch character.

UMvC3 has the only exception of being 3/5 sets throughout the entire bracket.

We follow the standard EVO rule set. This includes banned wireless controllers. This is a BRING YOUR OWN STICKS/CONTROLLER event. All games will be played on US Playstation 3 consoles.

The console equipment will be labeled and registered to ensure its safety. However, please be careful with your sticks. Furthermore, if you know you’re attending and you do not have a stick to use, make sure you have a friend who can donate.

For pad/PS2 stick players, we tend to have PS2 pads and/or converters around, but don’t take this as confirmation of us having them there for you. Bring your own to be safe as opposed to being disqualified for not having a controller available at time to play. We cannot hold up the tournament for your convenience.
