Rules for Manji Matcherino Tournaments

Tournament Format

Double Elimination Tournament.

60 Second rounds, games are best of 5 rounds.

Every match up until winners finals is a first to 2. Winners finals, losers finals, and grand finals will be a first to 3! 

WIRED CONNECTION ONLY

The first stage selection is always random. 

The loser of the match can choose to either change their character and select random stage, or the choose the stage and stay on their previously used character. 

PRESETS ONLY. No Illegal presets (IE: Jack 2,3,4 and 6, Gigas Preset 3)

Players have to update the scores on Challonge themselves after playing a match. Please use the ⁠📋│match-reporting channel of the Discord to post your results for verification. 

If you have any other concerns, please DM Pryce on Steam or Discord.

Please follow the rules of the stream. No harassment. Show sportsmanship when in the Twitch chat. 

Registration

Please sign up both through Matcherino and Challonge. 

Check ins will be open in the tournament discord, one hour before start time. Failure to check in within 5 minutes after the tournament start will result in disqualification.

I WILL NOT ACCOMODATE FOR MULTIPLE TOURNAMENT ENTIRES. IF YOU HOLD UP THE BRACKET BECAUSE OF ANOTHER TOURNAMENT, YOU'RE OUT.

BE AVAILABLE. If you leave your opponent hanging, you can be disqualified.

What if my match is unbearably laggy?

Stop your set, and contact a TO. We'll have you run the command ping 8.8.8.8 -n 100 in your command prompt. Wait for the 100 pings to finish. You'll receive a report that will look like this:

Ping statistics for 8.8.8.8:

Packets: Sent = 100, Received = 100, Lost = 0 (0% loss),

Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:

Minimum = 7ms, Maximum = 22ms, Average = 11ms

If your report comes back poor, we'll have a run a second test, this time with the command ping 8.8.8.8 -n 100

If someone is dropping multiple packets, or has an extremely high ping for fighting games, they will be disqualified if it cannot be remedied by resetting their modem. If you abuse lag requests multiple times during a tournament and no evidence of such lag comes to light, you will be removed from the bracket. 

If there's no evidence of either party experiencing lag in the reports, please play through it, or DQ yourself if you find it that intolerable.

In the event of a desync, replay the game, and replicate the round count to the point prior to the desync issue. You can tell if a desync has truly occurred, as both users in the lobby will be given a gold "1W" streak next to their name when the match is over.

HOW DO I GET MAH MONEY?

We'll be processing all the payments through our Matcherino page! We don't have access to these funds ourselves, as they are crowdfunded, so you MUST be on Matcherino to receive your winnings! From there, we will payout! Money will be sent to your Matcherino account!
