Look for the above players if you have any questions.

- You are responsible for your own belongings.

- Double elimination bracket, best of 3 sets. Winners finals, Losers finals, Losers semis and Grand finals will be in best of 5 format. tl;dr everything outside of top 4 is best of 3

- Players may request that hacks of any kind may be disabled during that player's set. If this is unable to be done, that player may switch to a different setup if available.

- If a set must be played, players will have 10 minutes to arrive for his/her set. If 10 minutes have passed and the player has not arrived for the set, he/she will automatically lose the set.

- There are no stage bans in best of 5 sets.

- If mutually agreed to, players may play outside of that game's ruleset.

* 4 stock, 8:00 minute timer
* Items OFF and set to NONE
* Buffer OFF
* Double elim. Best of 3 except Winners’ Finals, Losers’ Finals and Grand Finals matches which will be best of 5 format.
* Ties after the time limit are determined by stocks, then by percentage.
* If a match ends with both players dying at the same time resulting in Sudden Death, a 1-stock rematch will be played out on the same stage.
* If each player has one stock remaining and the match ends due to a suicide move (Ganon's side-B, DDD's swallow, holding someone in a grab on a platform as it moves out of the boundaries, etc.), the player who initiated the move wins.
* Any action that can prevent the game from continuing (freezing, disappearing characters, game reset, etc.) will result in forfeiture of the match for the player that initiated the action. You are responsible for knowing your own character and must be wary about accidentally triggering one of these effects.
*Starters:
Yoshi's Story
Dream Land
Battlefield
Smashville
Pokemon Stadium 2

*Counterpicks:
Final Destination
Green Hill Zone
Fountain of Dreams
WarioWare
Distant Planet

* First stage is decided by banning from the Starter Stages in P1-P2-P2-P1 order.
* Following stages decided by winner banning 2 stages and then loser choosing.
* Winning player is not locked into the same character for the next match, but has to pick before loser selects character.
* You may not choose a stage you have already won on unless mutually agreed to.
* In the event that the game crashes or the TV/Wii loses power in the middle of a match, that match will be restarted from the beginning with the same characters and stage. If a player uses a known glitch to intentionally crash the game or otherwise make it unfinishable, that player may be forced to forfeit the match or be DQed at the TO’s discretion.
* No excessive stalling (this includes abusing Jiggs’ Rising Pound and Mario’s Up-B Walljump)

- 4 Stocks, 8 minute timer, Items OFF

- Ties after the time limit are determined by stocks, then percentage.

- Wobbling is legal, but wobbling past 300% is considered stalling and is banned.

- ICs freeze glitch is banned.

- Excessive/Infinite stalling is banned.

- Master Hand is banned.

- If a match results in Sudden Death, a 1 Stock rematch will be played with the same characters on the same stage.

- Any action that prevents the game from continuing, such as freezing, will cause the player who triggered this to happen to lose the set. Actions such as these that is not the player's fault, such as a power-outage, will result in a rematch of the game, not the entire set.

- The stage selection is determined by:
1. Striking in 1-2-1 order from starter stages
2. Winner bans 1 stage from starter or counterpick stages
3. Loser picks stage
4. Winner chooses character
5. Loser chooses character and next game is played
6. Steps 2-5 are repeated if necessary.

Starter stages:
Dream Land 64, Final Destination, Battlefield, Yoshi's Story, Fountain of Dreams

Counterpick stages:
Pokemon Stadium

- You may not choose a stage you have already won on unless mutually agreed to.


Regarding Smash 4:
Smash 4 has seen significant growth recently. We will be more than happy to run a bracket for the game, but we need to ensure that we will have a sufficient amount of setups.

A complete Smash 4 setup consists of:
1 Gaming Monitor/HDTV
1 Wii U
1 Smash 4 Wii U disc
1 Wii U GC controller adapter

If we can confirm 5 complete setups, then we will include a Smash 4 Wii U bracket. If not, then we will provide room for Smash 4 friendlies setups instead.

Current supplies:
TVs: 5
Wii Us: 6
Game discs: 6
Adapters: 5
