Match Attendance: We kindly ask all players to be present near the console zone/fighting game tournament zone during the beginning of the tournaments, since matches finish quickly and we can’t follow every player around the convention grounds. It is each player’s responsibility to be present at their match station on time. if the player does not appear for their match, they will be given 3 minutes (unless contact established) to arrive or else they will be disqualified
