- If you lost you WILL NOT put in smash.gg that you won.

**Any and all of the rules below, if broken in any way, will result in mediocre punishment such as being DISQUALIFIED from their bracket. You get two chances for these rules. #1 is a warning and #2 is a DQ from their current bracket:**
- Taunting - You may only taunt (with no consequences) at the start and end of the match. If you taunt in-between these times it could result in punishment.

**Any and all of the rules below, if broken in any way, will result in minor punishment such as being WARNED from tournament mods. You will get three chances/warnings and if someone continues to go against these rules they might get a DQ from their bracket:**
- If you put the wrong game settings and don't fix it when mods ask you to it could result in punishment.

These above could change from tournament to tournament so beware...

*If you don't show up and check in for your matches when the tournaments start you will get a DQ. There will be a time frame for people that are late but you will not be given slack for this rule if it passes this time frame of about 10 min.*

**This rule is important for people participating in the 2v2 Tournament:** If you and your teammate check in but one of you has to leave for whatever outside reason AFTER checking in, joining the lobby and/or playing 1 of their matches they will have 10 mins to fix their issue/come back to play their matches.

**If you have a major tech issue that doesn't allow you to play properly at the start of the match you may forfeit the match by walking off the edge of the map 3 times. This will not count towards your wins/losses. You will have ten minutes to fix the issue before getting a DQ.**
