Tournament Set-up and Guidelines:
The tournament will be setup in a 1 vs. 1 format with rounds consisting of a “best 2 of 3 songs” format for the winner to advance to the next round.
The songs being played in each round will be determined by the participants in the round. A coinflip will be used to determine who gets first song choice. The loser of the coinflip will choose the 2nd song, and, in the case of a 3rd song tie-break, the tournament organizer will pick a song at random.
Song difficulty will begin at the Medium level for the opening round of play, and as the tournament proceeds, the difficulty levels will increase to Hard, and eventually Expert for the Quarterfinals through the Finals.
Tournament seeding will be determined at random by the tournament organizers after registration has closed.
Tournament will be single-elimination. Free play will be available after the completion of the tournament.
All participants must register before the tournament by coming in-person to CD Tradepost and filling out the sign-up sheet.
There will be guitar controllers available for use at the tournament. Participants are welcome to bring their own guitar controllers for use in the tournament, but they are subject to prior approval by event organizers before they are used in competition.
Prizes will be announced one week prior to the event.
