* Double elimination format.

* Hardware: Various.  As a general rule of thumb, if you have a peripheral that works on PC, you're probably fine.

* FT2, FT3 in finals. 

* A roulette is spun before every match to determine what game is played.

* When a game is played, it's removed from the lineup.

* Every player gets one pass to reroll if they really don't want to play the chosen game.  This is a nonrenewable resource, when it's gone it's gone.  This does not remove the game from the lineup.

* If we encounter issues running a particular game, players may request a free reroll.  

* Stage select varies based on the game, both players may agree on a stage or use whatever process to select it that they wish.

* Winner is character/team locked, loser may switch characters.  In the event of a team game the winner may change team order but NOT assists or characters.  

* THERE IS A VERY GOOD CHANCE YOU WILL END UP PLAYING A GAME YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT.  If you need a moment to look up mechanics, movelists or otherwise familiarize yourself with what you're playing, you may have a brief grace period to do so.  I do recommend taking a moment to familiarize yourself with the game before starting the set.  

* The winner of the tournament may opt in to a Bonus Boss battle against the TO.  This is a FT3 set where every match is run in a different game.  Losing this does NOT change the tournament result, but winning it might grant a reward!
