Tournament Rules:
MAGMA Tournament Rules
- All paid tournament games are $10 per entry, in addition to the initial venue fee. Entry fees will be used for cash prizes in their respective tournaments.
- Top 3 prizes are as follows: 1st – 70%; 2nd – 20%; 3rd – 10%.
- You must provide your own controller for games played on the PlayStation 3, Nintendo GameCube, Wii, and Wii U.
- All converters are the responsibility of the player. All Cronus Max converters are not allowed
- All wireless controllers which pair to a PS3 are banned. An example: Sony DualShock 3.
- 3rd-party controllers which pair to a dongle such as the MadCatz controllers are allowed. DualShock 4s are also allowed, due to the nature of their connectivity to PS3s.
- All macros available via the in-game controller configuration menu are allowed.
- Hardware programmable input entry, rapid-fire, or other hardware assisted mechanisms are strictly forbidden.
- All games will be played on the default settings, unless otherwise specified below.
- Any tournament players that are not present when their match is called for will have a period of two (2) minutes to report to their station with the required equipment. After the two minute period has expired, you will be forced to forfeit your Match. NO EXCEPTIONS.
- Equipment sharing between players is prohibited.
- Accidentally pausing the game at any time during the fight may force you to forfeit the round (solely at a judge’s discretion).
- Any player using “Random Select” to pick their character, must “Random Select” again if they win the match.
- Only one coach near a player.
- Anyone visibly intoxicated or otherwise under the influence will be immediately ejected from the tournament, and may be banned. If cooperation is not immediate, we will not hesitate to contact local authorities.
- We have a zero tolerance policy toward violence, threats of violence, intimidation, and other forms of thuggery. Any threat of violence, extreme intimidation, or violence of any kind will result in an immediate and lifetime ban.
- Gambling is prohibited in and/or around the event hall. This is a Tennessee law, and any player that gambles on the property will be immediately ejected from the tournament and possibly banned.
- The player who won the last Game is required to keep the same characters and order of characters for the next Game.
- The player who lost the last Game is allowed to choose whatever characters or character order they desire.
- It is the responsibly of the players in the match to detect all match rule violations and report them to a Judge.
- All non-gameplay rule violations must be reported to a Judge before the game starts.
- Players are not allowed to stop a Game in progress to address a non-gameplay related rule violation. Stopping a game in progress to report a non-gameplay rule violation will result in the forfeiture the round on the part of the person stopping the Game.
- The only time a player is allowed to stop a Game to report a rule violation is when that violation occurs during the middle of the match (e.g. A game freezing glitch in Street Fighter).
- Stopping a Game in progress to erroneously report a rule violation automatically results in the forfeiture of the round by the player who stopped the game.
- Rule violations must be reported at the time they occur. Otherwise, they will be ignored.
- A Judge is allowed to report any rule violations on behalf of a player.
- If a Judge stops a game to mis-report a rule violation, the Game is replayed with both players picking the same characters, order, and side. No one is disqualified.
- The only people allowed to stop a game to report a violation are the Judge and the players.
- If a player accidentally or intentionally stops their game for any other reason, he will be forced to forfeit the round. Examples include accidentally pressing the start button on their controller to pause the match, unplugging their or their opponent’s fightstick, etc.
- Match interruptions beyond the players control (e.g. the game crashes or freezes) will be dealt with directly by the Judge. All best attempts will be made to resume the round from where it left off. If that cannot be accomplished, the Game will be replayed with both players picking the same characters and modes.
- If a Game is stopped in progress, the reporting player must forfeit the current round.
- New equipment must be immediately available. If replacement equipment cannot be obtained in a timely manner, the player must continue to play on their current equipment or forfeit the Match.
- Once replacement equipment is obtained, the player is given the rest of the round to configure their buttons and test the new equipment. If the player gains an undue advantage by doing so (e.g. charging an abundance of super meter), they must forfeit the Game.
- A player may opt to switch out equipment between Games at no penalty. When this occurs, the player will be given ample time to configure their buttons before the next Game begins.
- Game Version: PlayStation 4, NTSC/US
- Double Elimination
- Game Settings: Versus Mode, 99 Seconds, 2/3 Rounds, 3/5 Games
- Winner must pick same character and variation. Loser may change character and/or variation.
