=== Tournament format ===There are two playing weeks: from 1st to 8th, and from 15th to 22nd days of the month.
You play two games each week. You may play either or both — as you wish.
First week is score challenge. Survival, playing preferences and other things are ignored, only score is what counts. Scoring will commence on all modes/difficulties. You only get to use a certain character type in either game which will be announced upon the start.
Second week is special challenge. Restrictions will be announced upon the start.
=== Submission instructions ===For the first week, submit your scores as usual:
game - mode
name - score - stage - slowdown rate - (replay)
For the second week, the format is as following:
PCB - mode
name - stage - CherryMax - slowdown rate - (replay)
SA - mode
name - stage - graze - slowdown rate - (replay)
There is no cap on amount of submissions, there is no cutoff for scores. Completing the game/Extra stage is not required for submission.
=== Rules ===- 1 credit only;
- no slowdown over 5%;
- no hitbox patches or other tools (VSync patch is allowed);
- default life count;
- no old scores;
- replays required for #1 entries.
