Ruleset
Smash 4 Singles/Doubles
CUSTOMS ARE NOT ALLOWED
Singles will consist of pools followed by a 32 man bracket
Determining pool priority
1) number of set wins
2) if two or more players are tied in set wins, priority is then determined by number of game wins
3) Is two players are tied in set wins and game wins, head to head determines the priority
4) if 3 players are tied in set wins, and game wins cannot determine priority further and a three way circle of head to head occurs, a round robin of 1 stock three minutes will then be played.
Starters:
Final Destination
Battlefield
Smashville
Town and city
Castle Siege
Counterpicks:
Delfino Plaza
Battleship Halberd
Duck Hunt Stage
Kongo Jungle (doubles only)
Lylat Cruise
Any Omega stage
*If someone bans Final Destination, all Omegas are also banned.
General Rules
-2 Stocks
-6 Minute Time Limit
- Items set to "Off" and "None"
- All infinites and chain grabs are legal.
- The act of stalling is banned: stalling is intentionally making the game unplayable: Such as becoming invisible, continuing infinites, chain grabs, or uninterruptible 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.
* 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 (either coincidentally or via suicide move) 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 Doubles
- Team Attack set to "On"
- Life stealing is allowed.
- In the event of a game reaching the time limit, if a single player on a team exceeds their Ledge Grab Limit, that team loses. If one or more players on both teams exceed their Ledge Grab Limit, then the Ledge Grab Limit rule is ignored.
-In the event of a game going to time and the Ledge Grab Limit can not determine a winner and both teams have an equal amount of combined stocks, then whichever team has a lower combined percent is declared the winner.
- It is mandatory, unless all parties agree, to pick a character color outfit consistent with your team color.
For both singles and doubles
1. Player Priority is determined if it can not be agreed on. (See below for details)
2. Each Team selects one controller port to use for each Player.
3. Each Team selects one character for each Player. A double blind pick may be called by any player.
4. 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).
5. The first match is played.
6. The team that lost the previous match may opt to re-pick controller ports (with themselves picking first).
7. The Team that won the previous match may announce two "Stage Bans" if they have not already done so in this set.
8. The Team that lost the previous match announces the stage for the next match from either the Starter or the Counterpick Stage List. Any Stage named as a "Stage Ban" by the either Team may not be selected. DSR is on, meaning you cannot counter pick any stage you have previously won on in the set.
9. The Team that won the previous match chooses one character for each Player.
10. The Team that lost the previous match chooses one character for each Player.
11. The next match is played.
12. Repeat steps 6-11 for all proceeding matches.
Modified DSR is on for both singles and doubles, meaning you cannot counter pick your opponent to the stage you last won on.

GENERAL RULES
-Coaching is not allowed. Coaching is the act of whispering into someones ear or sending them signals in any way while a tournament set is going on. It does not matter what you say into the players ear or what you signal to them, if you need to say to someone during a tournament set, say it loud enough for both players to hear to avoid any issues, if its personal information, it can wait until the set is over. The punishment for coaching can be the loss of a game or set if multiple occurrences are reported after warnings are given out.
-The act of pausing is not allowed unless agreed upon by the players, if someone pauses and you cannot determine among yourselves what happens, grab a TO. Although pausing should be turned off, it is up to the players to do so before the match starts. If a player pauses and is in a disadvantageous position, (i.e. offstage, mid throw etc.), the player who paused will be forced to forfeit their current stock. If pause is in a neutral stand point, the initiator of the pause will be forced to grab the ledge after the pause starts, and will resume the match on the ledge in a disadvantageous spot. If the initiator of the pause is in a advantageous spot, the situation will be returned to neutral. If the players cannot agree on what the situation is, the TO's reserve the right to say what the current situation is deemed.
- if any of the previous in unclear, you can always ask me or Ksev to make sure
- The act of stalling is banned: Stalling is intentionally making the game unplayable: Such as becoming invisible, continuing infinite’s, chain grabs, or uninterruptible 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.
- BYOC (Bring your own controller): Players are expected to bring their own controller and be prepared for every tournament set.
- Pause can be requested off and that request cannot be denied. If one pauses mid-match, the person who initiated the pause loses their current stock. If the pause causes the opponent to lose their stock (Such as interfering with recovery), the person who initiated the pause loses two stocks.
- Players who use the Wii Remote must take the batteries out of the Wii Remote when not playing. If the Wii Remote is still synced up to a Wii with the batteries in, you could unintentionally disrupt a match. If problems persist, a DQ may happen.
-You are responsible for your own controller and name tag. Any malfunctions or errors that occur are your responsibility (including battery issues with a Wii Remote), so bring an extra controller if possible and always check to make sure you're using the correct settings BEFORE a match is played. Both parties need to agree if a match is to be paused or restarted because of these problems.
- Intentional forfeiting, match fixing, splitting, and any other forms of bracket manipulation are not allowed and punishable by the TO.
- No substitutions are allowed for singles or doubles.
-Coaching is allowed only between games, not during. Failure to adhere to this will lead to punishment at the TO's discretion, which could include the removal from the venue.
- DQ Rule: Arriving too late for a match will result in a DQ. Player(s) will have 5 minutes to show up before a loss of the first match. 5 more minutes results in a loss of the set. For doubles, both players on a team need to be present in order to play.
- The tournament organizer has the right to save/record any tournament match if possible and has the right to upload said match.
- Regarding textures and other game hacks:
* Players may request that any texture, stage, or other hacks be disabled during a tournament set. If this is unable to be done, they may switch to a different setup if available.
* The BBR-RC recommends players do not use intrusive texture and stage hacks.
* Players are not allowed to use any game altering hacks, such as no-tripping or model hacks. If someone is caught setting up a system they brought with such hacks enabled can face punishment at the TO's discretion.
- Disrupting your opponent physically or intending to disrupt their play (through something such as screaming in a player's ear) will result in a warning. Repeated action will result in disqualification from the tournament and possibly ejection from the venue. Observers who physically disrupt players are to be dealt with as the Tournament Organizer sees fit. Disqualification is recommended if possible, and ejection from the venue is also a punishment.
•These rules are subject to change leading up to the event date. The Tournament Organizer reserves the right to remove you from the venue at his discretion for any reason.
•The Tournament Organizer and his assistants, and any persons helping run the event may not be held liable for any lost, stolen, or damaged goods during this event.
