Tournament Rules
· Players may pick any character. Players also may switch characters between matches.
· There are two available modes for the tournament. The mode will be randomly selected for each match. Available modes: VS and Battle. Courses will also be randomly selected.
· There will be three qualifying rounds. Qualifying rounds will be 4-player races. Players will go into the game's sudden death matches if tied at the end of a race.
· During qualifying rounds, players will earn points based on how they finish (40 for 1st place, 30 for 2nd place, etc). At the end of the 3 qualifying rounds, players with the top 16 scores will advance to the elimination rounds. If we are running behind, only the top 8 players will advance.
· If multiple players 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 players versus each other, seeded single bracket elimination. Seeding will be done based on qualifying round scores.
· The scorekeeper will determine when a match begins.
· When a match is ended, players must leave the score screen up for the scorekeeper to record the results. Passing this screen will invalidate the match and all players forfeit.
· Tournament organizers have the final say in all decisions.
