Laboratory Credo Statement The Laboratory is an entertainment venue specializing in fighting game competitions. We are a team of dedicated community leaders who are deeply passionate about the games we support. We are always striving to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for all participants and prioritize ensuring that everyone is treated with respect and dignity.

Unsportsmanlike Conduct We expect players to do their best to exhibit good sportsmanship. Since The Lab is a small space, a sudden change in tone or increase in volume can be very distracting. If a player exhibits an act of violence or threatened violence toward another player and/or Lab property (i.e. throwing a controller, slamming doors or slamming their fist on the table/ into a wall), the result may be immediate expulsion from the current event as well as potential probation from future events. This rule applies both during and after a tournament set as well as for players or spectators who are not currently involved in a set.

On the similar note, talking to your opponent may also be deemed as a distraction and you should try to do your best not to engage in a negative conversation. If you feel your opponent is purposely distracting you, it is OK to suspend your match to involve a TO. Decisions are at the discretion of The Laboratory staff. Please use your best judgment in these situations.

Additionally, cheering is not considered a form of distraction. If, as a player, you find that normal competitive crowd noise distracting, it is your responsibility to bring headphones, ear plugs, ect.
