General Tournament Rules
Failure to follow these rules may result in your expulsion from the Video Gaming Hall or Otakon.
Tournament Cards:
Players participating in tournaments will be randomly assigned a number printed on a card. Members who do not receive a numbered card will not participate in the tournament. Cards are nontransferable. Players who lose their cards will not receive a replacement. Cards will be handed out to members who have lined up orderly at the posted sign-up time and sign-up place. Cards will be handed out starting at the front of the line until there are none left.
Lottery Tournaments:
Seeds for some tournaments will be awarded by lottery. Lottery tickets will be handed out to members who have lined up orderly at the posted sign-up time and sign-up place. Lottery tickets will be handed out starting at the front of the line until there are none left. There will be more lottery tickets than there are seed cards. A winning lottery ticket can be exchanged for a seed card.
Standard Tournaments:
Seed cards will be handed out to members who have lined up orderly at the posted sign-up time and sign-up place. Cards will be handed out starting at the front of the line until there are none left.
No-Shows:
Players receiving cards but failing to show at the appropriate time and place forfeit. Four-player games will be played in three-player or two-player mode if there are multiple no-shows. No substitutions for no-shows will be allowed.
Controller Policy:
Players may use their own controllers for tournaments. Players not providing their own controllers will be provided with a standard controller. Players not in possession of a controller at the beginning of a match will play with a standard controller. It is at judge's discretion whether to wait for the return of a personal controller in the instance that one controller is being shared by two or more players. No macro buttons are allowed. Players cannot use automated combinations of button inputs. Players are allowed to map the buttons according to their personal preference.
Single Elimination:
All tournaments are single elimination tournaments. There are no losers' brackets.
*DDR and Guitar Hero tournaments may support the double elimination format depending on the number of entrants.
Have fun.

Otakon Video Gaming Hall Rules
Failure to follow these rules may result in your expulsion from the Video Gaming Hall or Otakon.
Be a good sport
- No one likes a sore loser.
Play well with others
- Share the games.
- If you lose, give the controller to the next person in line.
Keep it clean
- Don't cheat.
- While you're at it, throw away any trash you see.
- Please remember to bathe and smell nice.
Keep all food and drink items away from the games
- You might play better with soda in you, but the games work better without soda in them.
Your stuff is your responsibility
- I know its hard to play with your arms filled with swag from the Dealer's Room, but we can't hold onto it for you.
Walk, don't run
- So many games, and only one weekend to play them all. It sure is exciting, but please walk.
Have fun.
