Protective adhesive tape to cover turbo functions will be provided free of charge for controllers with this feature.
[]Pausing the game, verbal (non-physical) harassment(direct or by proxy), or a false equipment call is grounds for a Yellow Card infraction.
[]Physical harassment(direct or by proxy), sabotage of equipment, intentional cheating (i.e.: turbo controls) or performing the above after a Yellow Card warning is grounds for a Red Card ejection(subject to review). Red Card ejections are permanent and constitute a ban from all Melty Blood-related activities for Evolution’s duration, and will also be reported to Evolution Staff.
[]A game malfunction will result in a reset of the current match from the beginning. Score will be retained.
[]Controller Settings must be completed during character introductions and before the first round is announced(characters may move freely during the announcement phase). If it is too late, the match should be restarted unless both parties consent to proceeding.
