Overall Rules
- Remember the golden rule: If you do not want someone doing or saying something to you, do not do it or say it to them.
- No talking to, touching or otherwise distracting any player at any time during any part of the official tournament proceedings (while tokens are being put into the machine, while the song or options are being chosen, or while a song is being played).
- You have 10 seconds after the exact moment the options menu disappears to alert the judges to anything that is wrong (wrong options, sudden injury, need of bathroom, etc…). After this period you must play the song as is and no rematch will be given.
