Immediately before every match, a tournament official will conduct a coin flip. The result of the coin flip will determine which ruleset will be used for that match.

Both competitors will compete under the same randomly selected ruleset for that match.

Competitors are responsible for understanding both rulesets prior to the event. Detailed information will be listed on our Rules Page, and a rules meeting will be held at 9 AM before the competition begins.
