First you have to register for the tournament. To register, and confirm your placement in the tournament just buy a ticket from Smash.GG

One hour before your matches start you need to check-in with the Tournament Organiser. This lets us know that you are actually around, and gives us a chance to tell you who your bracket judge is, and where you need to be.

Once you know where you need to be, once the games start, do not leave that area. That is where your tournament matches will be, and if you are called for a match, and you are not there…you will be disqualified and it will count as a loss. If you really need to leave (for example, you need to go to the toilet) please let your bracket judge know.

From then, just follow what your bracket judge says.

Double Elimination is a bracket style which allows players to lose one game, and still be in the tournament.

Instead of having a single Double Elimination bracket, players will be split into pools. These are smaller double elimination brackets, and if you reach either the Winners Finals or Losers Finals of that bracket, you advance through pools! Then, all players who advanced through to pools will be put into another double elimination bracket. If you came from Losers Finals you will automatically be in the Losers Bracket in the new bracket, and Winners Finalists will be in the Winners Bracket.

This still means its essentially Double Elimination, if you lose 2 sets you will be out of the tournament, however this makes it much easier to organize and it will “hopefully” mean less people get lost looking for their game.

To advance, you need to win 2 games out of 3. The only exception is any Finals, where it is 3 out of 5.

For the first game, you can choose any character you want. If you are concerned about a player waiting for you to pick, then counter picking, you can choose to blind pick. This is where both players tell a judge, who they plan to pick, then both players reveal their sheets and play the character said to their judge. If you want to do a blind pick, contact the judge of your bracket.

After the first game, the loser of the previous game may switch character.
