Pausing:
If a player either intentionally or accidentally pauses the game by either pressing the start button or unplugging his or his opponent’s controller, the offending player must forfeit a round. This penalty may be increased or decreased at the sole discretion of the TO.

Stalling, or excessively delaying the game or match, may result in a game or match forfeit at the discretion of the TOs.

Restarts:
Players may request to restart a game if they believe it was set up incorrectly, such as the wrong character(s), stage, controls, or in-game settings. Such requests may or may not be approved at the sole discretion of the TO.
Controller Interference:
If a player’s controller is found to be the cause of disruption to a tournament (during a match or otherwise), such player is subject to complete disqualification from the respective tournament.
Misinterpretation/Misconfiguration:
If a game was played under a misconfiguration of the game settings that could have materially affected the result of the game, a player may petition the TO to have that game replayed. The final decision is at the discretion of the TO.
