First stage will be decided on by striking from the entire list. Striking is where each player takes turns picking 1 stage to eliminate as a possible starter. Should issues arise, whoever is higher on the bracket will strike first.
After winning a game a player is allowed to choose 1 stage to ban. The ban cannot be changed later in the set. Then the losing player may pick a stage for the next game. If a stage is announced before a stage is chosen to be banned then the choice in invalidated and the player may still chose their ban.
You may not cp a stage you have previously won on.
These are the only allowed stages. Even if both players agree to play on a different stage it does not count towards the set if it is on a banned stage.
More rules...
If time runs out during a match, Sudden Death will never be played. Use the following rules instead:
If one player has more stock remaining than the other, the victor will be the player with the most stock.
If the stock count is tied, then the player with the lowest damage percent wins the round.
If Sudden Death is forced by one player using a "suicide" move (Kirby/Dedede Swallow,
Ganondorf Flame Choke, Bowser Bomb, Wario Bite, etc.), then whoever initiated the suicide move wins the game.
If both the percent and stock are tied at the end of a match, a one (1) stock, two (2) minute match will be played. This match must be played on the same level as the game prior and with the same characters. Whoever wins this 1-stock playoff wins the game.
Stalling is banned. Stalling is avoiding any and all contact, while retreating for position or camping is not.
Dedede's standing infinite and small step CG are banned.
Metaknight's infinite dimensional cape is banned.
The Following Grab Release Chaingrabs are banned:
Marth's on Lucas, Ness, and Squirtle.
Charizard's on Lucas and Ness.
Donkey Kong's on Lucas and Ness
This will be a 16 man, Double Elimination tournament.
