Set Procedure:
1. Character selection
2. Stage strike 1-2-1
3. Play Game 1
4. Winning player announces ban stage for the set
5. Loser of previous match announces next match's stage
6. Winner of previous match chooses character 7. Loser of previous match chooses character
8. Play next game
9. Rinse and repeat 4-8 if set goes to a third game

General Gameplay:
• 2 Stock.
• Items are set to "off" and "none"
• If the timer runs out, the victor is determined first by stock and then by percentage. If there is a tie, see the tiebreaker section to follow.
• BYOC (Bring your own controller). I recommend having a spare, just in case.
• Any controller malfunction mid match is on you. If you need to reset, your opponent will have to agree to a reset as doing so will require you to pause the match. (if pause is on).
• Stalling is banned. You know what this is, ask if you're unsure.
• Pause is recommended to be turned on for quick resets, but players can request it be turned off for the duration of their match.
• If a player pauses the match mid game (accidentally or intentionally) gets one warning, the second time is automatically considered a match lose. (unless for valid interruption at T.O's discretion).
• A match ending in simultaneous death does not go to the initiator. If the result is sudden death from this, use the normal tiebreaking rules (to follow) to determine the winner. Otherwise use who the game declared the winner.
• Coaching mid-match is banned. Don't do it.
• You cannot re-select a stage you have won on as a counterpick.
• Any and all infinites (basically, where someone can control the opponent without them being able to do anything about it) must end at 300%, otherwise it becomes stalling. All infinites are entirely legal otherwise.
• ALL sets are best 2 of 3 games, potentially including the Finals.
• Winners Finals, Losers Finals, and Grand Finals are all best 3 out of 5 games IF TIME ALLOWS IT.
• Custom moves are banned.
• Mii fighters are legal, but must use the default mii with the 1111 moveset.
• Wii U Gamepads are not a legal controller for use.

Tie Breaking:

• Note: Tiebreaking is only initiated if the game started a sudden death round not initiated via timeout. Otherwise, the game declared winner is the winner of the match.

1. Winner is determined by highest stock count then lowest percent.
2. 1 stock, 3 minute match is played as a tiebreaker match. The winner of this match wins the game. If there is a tie in this match, proceed to step 4. The LGL is modified for this match to 20.
3. A second 1 stock, no time limit match is played. If a simultaneous death is initiated (such as swallocide) in this match, the initiator loses the match. There is no tie for this match, it is play until you win. Conduct Rules: • No illegal substances will be tolerated.

• Disrupting someone mid-match intentionally or accidentally is not acceptable. Please do your best to make sure you are not disrupting a match. This can result in a penalty at T.O.'s discretion.
• Don't lose anything you're bringing to the event please, we are not liable for lost/stolen etc.
• TTL Rule: You must register for the event in person, on-time. Once the registration deadline is closed at 2:30pm & 8:30pm, no further entries will be permitted. Do not try to call in advance to hold the bracket.
