Brawl:
After much consideration and due to the grand finals of Apex being very boring, Meta-Knight is BANNED in SINGLES play. Meta-Knight is not banned in doubles, though a double MK team is.
We will be using a slightly modified version of the Apex ruleset
Sets will be best of 3 matches.
If there is a dispute in controller port selection or initiating Stage Strike use the following method:
Teams will use a random method such as Rock-Paper-Scissors, Coin Flip, or Game and Watch Judgment, where the winner selects either first choice in port selection or first choice in stage striking. Whichever team does not receive first choice in port selection will be compensated with first choice in stage striking.
Note: In Doubles, port selection is ordered 1-2-2-1 fashion (with Team-1 having first choice in controller slot select, Team-2 having both second and third choice, and the final slot going to Team-1).

Now onto the rules!
Brawl:
After much consideration and due to the grand finals of Apex being very boring, Meta-Knight is BANNED in SINGLES play. Meta-Knight is not banned in doubles, though a double MK team is.
We will be using a slightly modified version of the Apex ruleset
Sets will be best of 3 matches.
- 3 Stocks
- 8 Minute Time Limit
- Items set to “Off” and “None”
- Pause may be requested to be turned off. This request cannot be denied.
- All infinites and chain grabs are legal.
- There is a 50 Ledge Grab Limit for all characters except Ice Climbers with a limit of 60. If a game goes to time and one player goes over the Ledge Grab Limit for their character, they will automatically lose the game. If both players exceed their Ledge Grab Limit, then this rule is ignored.
- The act of stalling is banned: stalling is intentionally making the game unplayable: Such as becoming invisible, continuing infinites, chain grabs, or uninterrupted moves past 300%, and reaching a position that your opponent can never reach you.
- Any action that can prevent the game from continuing (i.e., freezing, disappearing characters, game reset, etc.) will result in a forfeit of that match for the player that initiated the action. You are responsible for knowing your own character, and must be wary about accidentally triggering one of these effects.
- If the Ledge Grab Limit does not declare one player the winner, the winner will be declared by what the game says in all situations, except for when players are presented with sudden death:
- In the event of a match going to time, the winner will be determined by who has less percent (stock difference still takes priority but will be shown in the results screen).
- If the match ends with both players dying at the same time coincidentally, or if time ran out with both players at equal percent, a one stock three minute rematch will be played on the same stage. For a tie-breaker match, a Ledge Grab Limit of 25 is used for all characters.
- If a match is ended via suicide move, the initiator of the move wins.
- Ear-side coaching during matches is not allowed. You may offer advice during a match but both players must be able to hear it.
- Team Attack set to “On”
- Double Meta Knight is banned
- Life stealing is allowed
- If a team's combined ledge-grab goes higher than 70 grabs, then that match is forfeit. If both teams exceed the limit, this rule is ignored. If your team consists of no less than two sets of Ice Climbers (God help you) this limit is increased to 90.
- If a player is using the character Pokemon Trainer, Lucario, or Sonic, either team may request that team colors be changed to make it easier to tell the difference between team players.
- Player Priority is determined if it can not be agreed on.
- Each Team selects one controller port to use for each Player.
- Each Team selects one character for each Player. A double blind pick may be called by any player.
- The first game is played on a Stage selected from the Starter Stage List either by mutual consent or through the Stage Striking Method. The order of stage striking will be 1-2-1 (Team 1 strikes one stage, followed by Team 2 striking two stages, with Team 1 then striking one of the two remaining stages).
- The first match is played.
- The team that lost the previous match may opt to re-pick controller ports (with themselves picking first).
- The Team that won the previous match may announce one “Stage Ban” if they have not already done so in this set.
- The Team that lost the previous match announces the stage for the next match from either the Starter or the Counter-pick Stage List. Any Stage named as a “Stage Ban” by the either Team may not be selected. No Stage may be used by a Team that has already won on that Stage in this set.
- The Team that won the previous match chooses one character for each Player.
- The Team that lost the previous match chooses one character for each Player.
- The next match is played.
- Repeat steps 6-11 for all proceeding matches.
If there is a dispute in controller port selection or initiating Stage Strike use the following method:
Teams will use a random method such as Rock-Paper-Scissors, Coin Flip, or Game and Watch Judgment, where the winner selects either first choice in port selection or first choice in stage striking. Whichever team does not receive first choice in port selection will be compensated with first choice in stage striking.
Note: In Doubles, port selection is ordered 1-2-2-1 fashion (with Team-1 having first choice in controller slot select, Team-2 having both second and third choice, and the final slot going to Team-1).

Battlefield
Final Destination

Further rules for stages:
- Dave's Stupid Rule: A player/team may not counter-pick to the stage they have won on in the current set.
- Gentleman’s Clause: Any stage may be played on if both players agree to it.
- Scrooging (the act of traveling below a stage) IS ALLOWED (due to there being no MK).
Project M:
This will be our own ruleset
Sets will be best of 3 matches.
General rules
- 4 Stocks
- Timer set to 8 minutes
- If you start a match with Giga Bowser, we will assume you made a mistake. Silly you. Restart your match, apply common sense, and just don't use him.
- All items set to "off" and "none"
- Buffer turned off
- Pause turned off
- No stalling. Finish your match to the best of your ability.
- Any infinites are allowed up to 300%
- Anywhere past that will count as stalling.
- There is a ledge-grab limit of 50 grabs per character (with the exception of Ice Climbers with 60).
- Going over the limit forfeits the match. If both players go over the limit, then this rule is ignored.
- Coaching rules are the same as they are for Brawl. You can speak your advice, but both players must be able to hear it. No ear-side coaching.
- If there is any dispute over going first for controller-port selection, character selection, stage striking, etc. it will be determined by G&W judgement or coin flip.

- Ledge-grab limit is increased to 70 for each team
Additional rules for both games:
- Set-ups with custom music and menus (as long as they are non-intrusive) are allowed. Custom costumes, stages, movesets, or sound effects are not allowed.
- If a player requests to use a different, non-modded setup, then that request cannot be denied.
- If a Wii loses power, crashes, or freezes in the middle of a match and the cause was to no fault of a player, that match will be restarted with the same characters on the same stage.
- Any player or team may request a double-blind pick for their first match.
- No custom controller with performance enhancers (such as turbo-buttons). Customizations, such as removing springs from shoulders or using alternate control-sticks is permitted.
- If there is any rule, stage, character, mod, etc that both players or teams agree upon, they may use said modification to the rules.
- Remember: Real men fight on Temple with motion-sensor bombs.
We hope to see everyone there!
