Capcom recently published the updated set of rules for the 2016 Capcom Pro Tour. While most of the rules should already be familiar to tournament-goers, there are a few important entries that have been added.

Capcom has officially barred sponsors involved in adult entertainment from taking part in the Pro Tour. Additionally, this ruling opens the door for Capcom to ban any other sponsor deemed “inappropriate” at their own discretion.

Aside from this, Capcom has also clarified some rules regarding gambling. Gambling of any form is now banned from all events, and violators may be ejected and even banned from the Pro Tour altogether. This is a significant ruling, as anyone who’s been to fighting game majors knows that the community tends to enjoy having a good “side bet.” How this new ruling ends up being enforced (or whether it sees enforcement at all), is bound to cause a lot of discussion in the community.

Finally, Capcom has also clarified rules regarding player behavior. The company is taking a stance against swearing, harassment, collusion and “other types of conduct deemed inappropriate at Capcom’s sole discretion.” Players caught doing any of these actions may be disqualified or even receive a lifetime ban from future events.

You can read more about these and other rules on the Capcom Pro Tour website.
