Soul Calibur 5 Tournament Rules
Brackets: Double Elimination
Players are guaranteed two matches and are out after two losses. There are some events which will do “pools” before the elimination brackets. This is often due to the large number of players in the event, and it would be impossible to run a double elimination bracket of that size.
Match Construction:
- 3 out of 5 rounds in all sets
- 60 second time limit in all sets
- 100% health and soul gauge
Character Select: Create-a-Soul banned
Players may request double blind character selection for the first match of a set. In this case, both players tell their choice to the tournament organizer. Each player is then locked into using that character for the first match of a set; no matter what character the opponent has chosen.
Winner Lock: Character and Stage
During the first match of a set, players select their characters and the stage is selected at random. After a match, the winner is “locked” into their character; they are not permitted to switch their character until/unless they lose a subsequent match. All matches are loser’s choice.
- Rematch with the current characters and stage
- Rematch with the current characters and a new random stage
- Return to character select to choose a new character and new random stage
Interruptions: Loss of Current Round
A player who interrupts a round, will automatically lose the current round. If the opponent choses to ignore the interruption, they are invalidating the penalty and thus can not press the issue at a later time in an attempt to get an unfair edge on the opponent.
Button Binds: Sequence Mapping Banned
A player may not program functions on a controller using methods outside the basic functions of the game. This includes: programmable and turbo controllers.

Conduct Rules
Pausing may be turned off by request and the request cannot be denied. In the event pause is on and is pressed, whether by accident or on purpose, the result will be a loss of the current stock for the perpetrating player.
The M2K Rule – By entering the tournament you agree to play your matches on the setup requested by a TO whether it be a stream, recording, or non-recording setup
BYOC (Bring your own controller)
Players who use the Wii Remote must take the batteries out of the Wii Remote when not playing. If the Wii Remote is still synced up to a Wii with the batteries in, you could unintentionally disrupt a match. If problems persist, a DQ may happen.
Intentional forfeiting, match fixing, splitting, and any other forms of bracket manipulation is not allowed and punishable by the TO.
No subbing is allowed for singles or doubles.
Coaching is allowed only between games, not during. Failure to adhere to this will lead to punishment at the TO’s discretion, which could include the removal from the venue
Determining Controller Ports/Stage Strike
If there is a dispute in controller port selection or initiating Stage Strike use the following method:
Teams agree to Rock-Paper-Scissors, otherwise it is determined with a coin-flip. The winning Team shall either elect to have first choice in port selection or first choice in Stage Strike. Whichever Team does not receive first choice in Port Selection will be compensated with first choice in Stage Striking.
Note: In Doubles, port selection is ordered 1-2-2-1 fashion (with Team-1 having first choice in controller slot select, Team-2 having both second and third choice, and the final slot going to Team-1).
** NO REFUNDS ONCE THE BRACKETS ARE MADE FOR AN EVENT **
