Can someone tell me what the MLG rules are, exactly?

I went to the site, and I couldn't find the rules for SSBM, so if someone could link me or tell me that would be nice :D

Here's a quick reply, definitely not all-encompassing:

4 stock, time limit 8 minutes
Advanced slob picks (loser picks stage -> winner picks character -> loser picks character)
One stage ban per player or team
First random stage in a match can be reset (1 reset/ set / player or team, for 1st match only)
Stages on random select (singles): FD, DL64, YS, BF, FoD, PS
Stages on random select (teams): FD, DL64, YS, BF, PS, DK64, RR
Counterpick stages: Mute City (singles only), Brinstar, Green Greens, Corneria, Poké Floats
Banned stages: The rest unless I missed some. Mute City and FoD are banned in teams because of slowdown. Great Bay and Mushroom Kingdom II are allowed in teams but banned in singles. Onett I'm not quite sure of, I think it's banned in both competitions.

Hmm, did I forget anything crucial? Not 100 % sure about all the stage rules, the rules changed throughout the season.

There are no MLG rules anymore, since MLG dropped smash from their tour.

Uhhh yes they are the came up with them diden't they.

Everybody needs to Give MLG some respect.

I'm not saying I'm not respecting them, i'm just saying that I find they shouldn't be referred to as MLG rules, since they're not using those rules anymore.
But hey, who am I?
