Rules
Keep in mind all rules are not final; these are subject to change up until the week of the event.All Events
* All games will be best 2/3, until top 8, which will be 3/5
* Pausing during a match, unless approved by the other player, will result in the loss of one stock for the player who pressed the pause button.
* Quitting out of a match before it is over will result in a loss for the player who quits.
* If time runs out, the person with the highest number of stocks left wins. If the players have the same number of stocks when time runs out then the player with the lower % is awarded the victory. If the % is equal as well, play a 1 stock 3 minute match, same characters and stage.
* If the match goes to sudden death due to a self-destruct move the player who initiated the move is awarded the win; otherwise the player displayed as victorious by the game is determined as the winner. The best example of this is Kirby's neutral B offstage.
* In the event that the game crashes or the TV/Wii/Wii U loses power in the middle of a match, that match will be restarted from the beginning with the same characters and stage. If a player uses a known glitch to intentionally crash the game or otherwise prevent the match from finishing that player will the match and may be disqualified at the Tournament Organizer's discretion.
* No excessive stalling. This is up to the judgment of the TO, but in general, stalling is considered making the game unplayable to artificially run the timer of a match (ie excessive infinite shino stall, peach bomber stall, luigi ladder)
* No coaching during a match. Consulting someone between matches is allowed as long as the match finishes within the two-minute time frame between matches.
* Both players may agree to any rule or stage outside the tournament ruleset; this does not include extending time limit between games
* Set Procedure: Each player will choose their character, double blind pick is available by request. Players will then strike from the starter stage list given, and play on the agreed upon stage. For each subsequent game, the winner will announce their stage ban(s), the loser of the previous game will choose the stage, the winner will chose their character, then the loser will chose their character.
