A copy of your folder list and link navi to be used needs to be given to me and will be required by the 24th, 8pm est. This will be your folder for the whole tournament. This is mandatory for everyone. If it is not ready by the 24th, you will be DQed from the tournament. No exceptions.

A Save File at 100% (All obtainable HP Memories and Regular Memories) with copies of all chips will be provided to all participants to build a folder. Only 1 Folder Per participant (No switching or editing of your folder will be allowed mid tournament), however changing of your REG or tag Chips will be allowed inbetween matches.

Use of cheats, glitches, 3rd Party Programs (Such as Auto-Hotkeys) or exploits, no matter what the nature, will result in an instant disqualification.

Desyncs and unforseen glitches (EX. Starting Round 2 in Exhaustion, Disappearing chips) will result in a rematch. Two subsequent
Desyncs is considered an "Unplayable Match"

Participants must record their match with VBA's built-in Recording feature. (Tools > Record > Start AVI Recording) and submit
to the Tournament Organizer for verification. However you are allowed to use an external program for recording if VBA's internal recording does not work (like OBS, etc)

In the event of a tie or unplayable gamestate, both players will go to ACDC and face Protoman SP as Megaman (not Megaman SP.  It's recommended that playerscreate a Save State in order to preserve their Tournament setup. The players must clear their Navi Customizer, disable all ModCards, and select an Extra Folder to equip and use (A location of the Extra Folders can be found at:
https://1drv.ms/w/s!AlnkPup_z_U0-Z8gI-D5cLZMBSGulA). The player with the fastest deletion time is declared the winner of the match.
Players that achieve Unplayable Gamestates will be disqualified if they're unable to participate in 2 matches.
