Tournament Info
Tournament Registration: Official Fighting Game tournaments are no longer accepting registrations. You can still register for Rhythm Game main tournaments at (https://www.start.gg/BITE9). Side tournaments as well have open registration at (https://www.start.gg/ThePack)

Schedule:
Give yourself extra time to have a buffer to pick up your badge before your tournament is scheduled to start because sometimes there are long lines at the registration desk - you can find start times for the games you have signed up for on startgg by clicking on the Dashboard tab
Some brackets are large enough to be divided into smaller pools of players to make them run more smoothly, these pool start times will also be found on the Dashboard tab

Controllers:
Like FGC major tournaments, BITE is BYOC, or "Bring Your Own Controller" - we will not have controllers or controller accessories (USB cables, converters, etc) to provide attendees/players. Also check that your controller is plug-and-play compatible with the listed game platform and if is not, you will need to provide your own converter (platforms are listed in the "FGC Tournaments" drop down section on the startgg homepage)
Games with platforms listed as " PS2* " or " PS3* " will actually be run on PC via emulators - the platform designates which version of the game is being emulated
Please note that we will be turning off bluetooth on setups so you will be required to play with a cable even if your controller is wireless - you will need to provide your own USB cable. For your convenience, make sure it is long enough to comfortably remain connected to the console while you are playing

Newer to fighting games & maybe even struggling a little bit with them? (it's ok, we've all been there) I used my experience figuring out methods to learn & level up despite my own learning disabilities & brain fog to give you some tips! Read the full guide here: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

The #FGC has historically been grassroots & offline, so it relies on local tournament organizers to grow & support the community around the globe If you're looking to establish your own local tourney, here's a guide to help you get started as a new TO! Full guide: docs.google.com/document/u/1...
