General Rules
BYOC (Bring Your Own Controller)- Please bring your own controller whether it's a standard controller or arcade stick.  Willvolution.com will not provide you with a controller/arcade stick.  Willvolution.com is not responsible for lost and/or stolen items. 

Be Punctual- Please be on time!  I cannot guarantee you a spot if you come after the time the tournament starts. 

No Physical Confrontation-  There will be no fighting at Willvolution 2009.  Anybody that touches one another will be banned from the tournament.

No Equipment Destruction-If you break any equipment that is used for Willvolution 2009, you will replace the equipment and you will be banned from the tournament.

No Alcoholic Beverages-  Self-explanatory.  

Name Badge
You are required to have your name badge visible in the Marriott Sanibel.  If you are caught without a name badge, you will be banned from the tournament unless you show your name badge. 

Fraudulent Name Badge-If you are caught with a counterfeit name badge, you will be banned from the tournament.

Controller Rules
No Macro and/or Turbo Buttons on a Controller
-If you are caught using a macro and/or turbo buttons on a controller, you will be banned from the tournament.

Controller Faults-If you are certain that your controller is not responding during your match, pause the match and call the tournament coordinator.  If it's proven that it's defective by the tournament coordinator, you and your opponent can do a 1 round re-do after you replace or repair the controller.  If it's a false alarm such as the controller is not proven defective or you pause the match and realized that it's okay after pausing, you will forfeit the round and receive one violation warning. 

Pausing
You cannot pause during gameplay unless it's a controller fault and that has to be proven to the tournament coordinator.  If you pause during gameplay, you will forfeit that round and receive one violation warning.
