A Japanese Street Fighter tournament will penalize players who don't get enough sleep

Japanese Street Fighter 6 tournament by SS Pharmaceuticals will penalize players lacking sufficient sleep, deducting points for sleep deficits.

: A unique Street Fighter 6 tournament in Japan requires players to have at least six hours of sleep for the entire week before the event. Organized by SS Pharmaceuticals, this tournament penalizes teams by deducting 5 points for every hour of missed sleep out of the required 126 total hours. Extra sleep can also provide an advantage in case of a tie by allowing the team with the most sleep to choose ExtraMatch tiebreaker details.

SS Pharmaceuticals is organizing a unique Street Fighter 6 tournament in Japan on August 31. This event, called Sleep Fighter, mandates that each player gets at least six hours of sleep daily for the week prior, totaling 42 hours per player and 126 hours per team.

Teams falling short of the 126-hour requirement will be penalized with a 5-point deduction per missing hour. Additionally, teams that accumulate more sleep will gain an advantage by being able to choose the configuration for the ExtraMatch tiebreaker if the regular matches end in a draw.

The event is part of the Active Sleep Project, an initiative to stress the importance of proper sleep for mental and physical performance. Using devices to track sleep, the tournament aims to show that adequate rest is crucial, especially for gamers often sacrificing sleep for longer gaming hours.
