• VERSUS mode with tournament settings (number of rounds: 3, round duration: 60 seconds)
  2/3 games per set.
  3/5 game sets for winners' finals, losers' finals, and grand finals.
• Players select their sides. Players may mutually agree on who sits on left and right side, corresponding to Player 1 and Player 2, respectively, at the start of a Set. Players are committed to this selection for the entirety of the Match.
  If Players cannot agree to a Side Selection, they will play a Best-of-Three Rock-Paper-Scissors to determine who picks their side first. The winner of the Best-of-Three Rock-Paper-Scissors picks their side first and will be committed to that selection for the entirety of the Match.
• Each Player selects their character from all selectable characters and selects the stage is selected at random.
  After any single Set, the winner is "locked" into their character and they are not permitted to switch their character until or unless they lose a subsequent single Set.
  All single Matches are loser's choice. The loser of any single Set may choose between returning to stage select and choosing a new randomly selected stage or returning to character select to choose a new character and a new randomly selected stage.
• All Character Preset Costumes are legal for Tournament use, unless BNE determines, in its sole discretion, that certain costumes give an unfair advantage.
  Players cannot use the same Preset.
  Should both Players wish to use the same Preset, they will play a Best-Of-One Rock-Paper-Scissors tiebreaker to determine who may use their preferred Preset Costume for the duration of the Match.
  If a Character Customization or one of the above listed Presets that cannot be used are used, the Set is subject to not being scored.
  Players are responsible for immediately finishing the Set with one (1) Player holding forward for the remainder of the rounds to quickly return to the lobby and restart the Set.

Miscellaneous

• Players may request a method of character selection known as blind pick (“Blind Pick”) to keep their character selection secret until the first Set begins.
  In the Blind Pick process, the Players will each tell a Tournament Organizer staff member, in secret, their character selection for the first Set.
  Players will then select their character with the Tournament Organizer staff member validating their selections.
  If a Player purposely does not select the character they told the Tournament Organizer staff member, that Player will forfeit that single Set.
• In the event of a tied Match declared by a Double K.O. or timeout on the Game screen, the Match will not be scored, and both Players will replay the tied Match with the same character selections.
• "Special Style is allowed during Match Play."
