Rules:

Double Elimination
Game Settings: 2 Stock, 6 Minute Time Limit, Items Off, Equipment Off
2/3 Games, 3/5 for Semis and Finals
Custom moves OFF
Miis are legal limited to 1111. Only console-default Miis are allowed (A-F Standard Size)

Starter Stages:
● Battlefield (or Miiverse as an alternative)
● Final Destination
● Smashville

Counterpick Stages:
● Dreamland
● Town & City
● Duck Hunt
● Lylat Cruise
● Any stage in Omega form

Stage Striking: The winner of a RPS match chooses which player will strike first one stage from the Starter Stage list. Then the other player strikes one more and the remaining stage is used for the first match. (1-1)

Stage Bans: During the stage ban phase, the player who won the previous game may ban 1 stage from either the Starter or Counterpick lists. This stage remains banned for the remainder of the set. In 3/5 sets, a player has the option to change their ban after winning 2 games (this unbans their first banned stage)

The losing player then chooses from the remaining stages, and the winner chooses a character for the next game before the loser chooses their own

NOTE: Banning Final Destination also bans ALL Omega Stages, and banning any non-Omega Stage also bans its Omega form (i.e. banning Battlefield also bans Omega Battlefield)

Gentleman's Clause: Any stage may be played at any time if both players agree to it

Legal Controllers: YOU MUST BRING YOUR OWN CONTROLLER. Gamecube controllers, Wii U Pro controllers, Wii Remotes and Nunchucks/Classic controllers, and 3DS systems are all legal peripherals. Gamepads are not allowed. If you are using a wireless controller, you MUST disconnect it immediately after your sets. Failure to do so more than once will result in immediate disqualification from your current bracket

Self-Destruct Moves: If a match is sent to sudden death with the successful use of a character’s self-destruct move, the player that initiated the self destruct move wins the match. Self-destruct moves include only Ganondorf’s Side-B, King Dedede’s Neutral-B, Wario’s Neutral-B, and Kirby’s Neutral-B.

Mid-game coaching is not allowed and may result in a disqualification

Parts of this event, including but not limited to: audio and video of the attendants inside the venue, will be broadcasted on the internet via twitch and uploaded to YouTube. By attending this event, all parties agree to allow their likeness to appear in any of this media

Unfortunately I'm not too familiar with the nearby public transit, but there are bus stops very close to the venue. I'd suggest using a resource such as Google maps to determine the most convenient travel route for you

I'm sorry I'm really not too familiar with the rules of tournaments but can you explain the stage striking rule? Also when is the next PopnOff event?
