Tournament Rules

·         Contestants may sign up in pairs.  Contestants who do not request partners will be assigned a partner at the same ability level.

·         Each pair will be called to compete for two qualifying rounds. Rounds will be played at the XBOX console one time and the Wii the other. Player one will choose the first song, player two the second. Difficulty level must be agreed upon.

·         During qualifying rounds, contestants will earn points based on how many Perfect scores they attain. At the end of the qualifying rounds, contestants with the top 8 scores will advance to the elimination rounds.

·         If multiple contestants are tied at the end of the qualification rounds, a tiebreaker match will be held. Tiebreaker matches will follow the same rules as the qualifying round matches.

·         Final rounds will be two contestants versus each other, seeded single bracket elimination. Seeding will be based on qualifying round scores. All final rounds will be conducted at the Wii console. Difficulty level will be determined by the score keeper. Songs will be chosen by contestants.

·         The scorekeeper will determine when a match begins.

·         When a match is ended, contestants must leave the score screen up for the scorekeeper to record the results. Passing this screen will invalidate the match and all contestants forfeit.

·         Tournament organizers have the final say in all decisions.
