• CFN ID, Discord username, and Challonge username MUST all be the same.
• All names being the same is crucial for both finding your opponent and clarity for the TO. Please respect everybody’s time and make yourself easy to find. Keep in mind, to ping someone in Discord you only need to type "@" followed by the first few letters of their name and hit TAB to autocomplete.
• Discord: type "/nick <cfn name>" DO NOT change your name to "name you like CFN: Your CFN" as this is MUCH HARDER to search for in discord
• Challonge: Once you are registered hit the big orange button that says "GO TO YOUR SETTINGS" to change your name to your CFN
• You must Check In on Challonge and be available in the Discord prior to the start time of the tournament. Check In takes place 1 hour before the tournament begins. Signing up is not the same as Checking In.
• Upon the request of the TO in the Discord, join the stream lobby.
• Winner must report the match on Challonge.
• Only one console/account per entrant.
• Kanzuki Beach, Skies of Honor, and Flamenco Tavern stage must be agreed upon prior to the start of the match.
• DO NOT compete in Round 1 until the tournament has officially begun. Brackets are automatically reorganized by Challonge prior to the start of the tournament to account for competitors who have not checked in. (This usually takes a few minutes past start time to assure proper seeding)
• Payouts for Top 3 now require at least 10 entrants into the round robin. Entrants must also compete in at least 5 rounds for validation purposes
