Inspired by this thread http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=300336 I've decided to post something we like to do here for fun or in a severe lack of setups in a fest when 2v2 gets old 
This is a little confusing so try to follow....
Basically, you play a normal 4 stock match with 3 players and assign each player a letter - A, B and C. Player A wins when B runs out of stock, B wins when C runs of stock and C wins when A runs out of stock. When the game ends the same players play another game with the roles reversed (A kills C, C kills B, B kills A). If the same player wins both games, he is declared the winner, if not, the two players that won play a 1v1 between them (We usually do 3 stock matches here).
This kind of gameplay creates interesting interactions, for example: If you are player A and your goal is to kill B, you will also try to save and protect C (Because if he loses all his stock, you lose - B wins), but remember, you are protecting and saving someone that is actually trying to kill you.
This is the basic idea, there are lots of variations on it like having the losing player (The one that died) get up and let someone else join, or have both players that didn't win in the set described above get up, or track points - 3 for the winner of the game, 1 to the player that didn't lose and 0 to the loser, or instead of having the two winners of a set play a 3 stock match, let them play each with how many stocks they had left when they won.
That's it, have fun!
