Rules

There are a set of rules applied to SaltyTeams to ensure that a team cannot lose and have their title reign ended by certain glitches and broken mechanics. The full ruleset applied to SaltyTeams matches is as follows:

-All newly formed teams must comply to the tier restrictions of the division they are competing in at the beginning of their first match.

-If a member of a team that are currently champions is promoted or demoted during their reign they will be allowed to continue to compete (ie, a fighter that is A tier when they become champion will be able to continue on as A tier champion even if they promote to S during their reign). However after any championship team is defeated, if one or both of the members have changed tier they will be ineligible for a rematch and will be re-entered into the pool for the tier they are in at the time of the loss.

-A fighter may only fight for one team at any given time. A fighter on the losing side of a team may also not fight again in an immediate rematch against the same opponents, even with a different partner.

-A match may be deemed a no contest if any of the following occur: a member of the challenging team is incapable of being damaged by one or both of the championship team, any form of anti-code on the challengers side results in immediate KO's or other extremely unfair advantages, if a severely broken interaction occurs in the match-up and is in favour of the challenges, if the match-up causes a freeze or ends inconclusively/prematurely, if the match ends up in a tie.

-However, even if a match meets some of the criteria for a no contest, it is still up to the moderators discretion. If the match-up is deemed winnable by both sides, particularly the champions, then a match that causes some issues may not be ruled a no contest.

-If a tie occurs, and it is not due to an inherent reaction between characters (a match-up that always ends in a tie), then a rematch will occur.

-All fighters must compete using their first palette.
