3. Tournament brackets will be made based on performance in a qualifier fight. Contestants will be given a rating between 1 and 10 with 1 being the best and 10 being the worst, based on amount of rounds won vs lost. These ratings will dictate the tournament brackets.
4. As for now the entire roster is legal and is free to use however; a character chart of up to 5 characters within the roster must be submitted by each contestants by no later than 11:59pm (EST) Dec 11th 2011.

5. Only the following Kombat Kodes are legal:
001 - Disable Foreground Elements
900 - No Blood
111 - Tournament Mode
101 - Klassic Music
666 - Zombie Kombat
The Kombat Kodes; 001 and 009 are the best for reducing lag please be respectful of your opponent if they choose either of these options. 009 has effects on certain moves such as jades glow. Also be aware that tournament mode disables toasty bonus, first hit meter bonus, foreground elements and much more.
6. The tournament will run on a tight schedule so make sure you are available for your fights. Anyone whom does not complete their fights by the deadlines will be eliminated. Scheduling will be conducted after registrations are closed if possible it would be nice to complete the tournament in 72 hours if we can reach an agreement between the contestants.
7. Please be respectful to your opponents and everyone else in the tournament. Unsportsmanlike conduct will not be tolerated even though this tournament is only casual. Fatalities and Babalities are fine; as are homemade Fatalities. Harassment and Tea-bagging are not allowed.
8. If agreed upon by both players they may have 1 "lag check" fight. If this happens both contestants must input the combat code 012 which is health regeneration. The purpose of this is similar to button checks in offline tournaments, this gives both players a chance to try their combos and inputs before fighting. This fight does not count and can only be performed once per tournament fight and must be mutually agreed on by both contestants.
9. All stages are legal and can be predetermined by the contestants. If a stage is selected that either player wishes not to play they must restart. If this is done a mutual stage must be decided before continuing. This can help avoid lag as some stages are worse than others.
