General Rules
Items are set to off
Stock and time are set to 4 stock and 8 minutes, respectively
Wobbling is legal. Wobbling past 250% will be considered stalling and is not allowed.
Double Blind: If elected
Contest Port Priority: If elected
Neutral Start: If elected
DSR: You cannot counter pick to any stage you have won on ever.
Gentleman’s Clause: Any stage may be played on if both players agree to it. This rule
takes priority over DSR. Players may NOT agree to change the number of matches to be
played.
Forced Character Selection: Off
Matches that time out will be determined by the remaining number of lives, then
percentage of the current stock. In the event of a percentage tie, the match should be
replayed in full. Sudden Death is not to be played, and will not count. A player/team may
not counterpick to the stage they last won on. This includes the first match won via stage
striking.
Pausing the game shall only be legal while either player remains upon their OWN
respawn platform, and only for the purpose of summoning a tournament official or in the case of a controller malfunction. All other pauses will incur a stock loss to the player who
pauses the game.
Any coaching that happens during the match (but not in between matches) is restricted.
Players who violate this rule will receive a warning (BOTH the player AND the person
coaching the player) on the first attempt. Players who violate this rule after a warning will
be disqualified from the event and a possible ejection from the venue.
Players are to attend their matches at the designated times they are called. If you are late
to a match, the following rules will be applied based on the amount of time:
o If you are 5 minutes late: Results in a match loss
o If you are 10 minutes late: Results in a set loss
o These times will be strictly enforced to make sure that each player will enjoy
the full event on a timely manner.
Additional Rules for Teams Play
Team Attack: ON
Life Stealing is allowed
If the game is paused accidentally while attempting to steal a life, the opposing team may
deem that life forfeit. Wait until the announcer has finished saying defeated before
pressing start, or turn pause off prior to beginning the match.
How to Play a Set
1. Players select their characters. Either player may elect to Double Blind
2. Use Stage Striking to determine the first stage
3. The players play the first match of the set
Prior to starting this match, either player may elect to Contest Port Priority or Neutral
Start. Note: Only one of these two may be used, as both have a built in Port Selection
mechanism using RPS. If there is a situation where a player would like to change which
option they elected after playing the game of RPS, it is the opponent’s choice to allow it.
The results from the previously played game of RPS will carry over.
4. Winning player of the preceding match bans a stage/stages (if applicable).
For Best of 3 sets, each player gets 1 stage ban.
For Best of 5 sets, there are no stage bans.
5. The losing player of the preceding match picks a stage for the next match.
6. The winning player of the preceding match may choose to change characters.
7. The losing player of the preceding match may choose to change characters.
8. The losing player of the preceding match gets first pick of port. Either player may elect
for a neutral Start, but RPS will not be played to determine first pick.
9. The next match is played.
10. Repeat Steps 4 through 9 for all subsequent matches until the set is complete.
Term Definitions
o Double Blind: Either player may request that a double blind selection occur. In
this situation, a 3rd party should be told, in secret, each of player’s choices for the first round. Both players are to then select their first round character, with the 3rd
party validating that the character selected is the same as their word.
o Contest Port Priority: If an agreement cannot be made as to who gets what port,
the players may enact a best of 1 game of Rock Paper Scissors. Winner gets their
port selection, loser selects any other port.
o Neutral Start: Either player may enact this rule. Once enacted, both players may
only use one of the two “Neutral Starting Positions”. A best of one game of Rock
Paper Scissors may be used to determine who gets the higher port. If one player
elects to Contest Port Priority and the other elects to Neutral Start, Neutral Start
takes priority.
o Singles: Doubles:
o
Stage Port 1 Port 2 Port 3 Port 4

o Gentleman’s Clause: Any stage may be played on if both players agree to it.
This rule takes priority over DSR. Players may NOT agree to change the number
of matches to be played.
o Forced Character Selection: The losing player once had the option to select
Random Stage as their counterpick and remove the option to change characters
from the winner of the previous round. This is no longer legal. If a player wishes
to select Random Stage as their counterpick, the winner of the previous round
may choose to change their character.
o Stage Striking: Players eliminate stages from the Starter/Neutral list until there is
one stage remaining.
Players strike stages in this order:
