Players must be in the Australian Anime Fighting Game Community Discord server during the tournament. Tune into the #netplay-pc channel. Sign up with the same name you'll use on that Discord.

Registration closes at 7:45pm Wednesday 16th May 2018 AEST (GMT+10)

Matches start at 8:00pm.

The tournament is double-elimination. Matches consist of best-of-3 sets. Sets are best-of-3 rounds with a 99 second time limit.

The top 3 fight 5 sets instead of 3.

To avoid lag, players must select the "Altar", "Colosseum Silent" or "Lessons" stages.

This rule may be ignored if both players in a match agree.

Report your match results in Challonge promptly.

Other Rules and Arbitration (stuff I hopefully never have to go into)

• Participants who don't attend their first match are disqualified 10 minutes after the tournament starts. No-shows are to be reported to HybriDefiant to be properly removed from the bracket.
• When there are fewer than 8 players, the format changes to Round Robin and all matches consist of 5 sets.
• Cheating results in disqualification and being banned from future events.
  
• In the case of win disputes, replays are to be submitted to HybriDefiant for review.
  
• Poor internet connection is grounds for a loss or disqualification. Participants with poor connection can be reported to HybriDefiant and they will judge if the connection is poor enough to warrant a loss. Repeated reports of poor connection can lead to disqualification.
  
• Abuse is strictly not tolerated and should be reported to HybriDefiant. Perpetrators will be disqualified. Trash talk is okay but harassing someone after they ask you to stop isn't.
• All other issues are resolved at HybriDefiant's discretion.
