Stage Rules and Submission:

• The only legal stages in the tournament will be custom stages made by participants or others if interested.
• Stages can be sent in until July 2nd, 2016. The stage should be uploaded on Miiverse, then a PM should be sent to Proteun (via Discord or post in the Smashboards thread) containing the creator's NNID and the stage name. No more than three stages can be sent in by one player. Note: stages uploaded to Miiverse expire after a month, so the posts has to have been made after June 10th.
• Stages must qualify as tournament legal, meaning stage hazards and solid floating platforms above the main stage will most likely not make it to the final stage list.
• A stage list will be picked by the TO within three days after the deadline for stages to be sent in. The list will contain a maximum of 10 stages, including neutral stages, counterpicks and instructions on how to download them.
• Players are not obligated to download the stages, but it might be helpful to study them before the tournament starts. Downloading all stages will take approximately 20 minutes.

Some notes about the tournament:

• All matches will take place in rooms opened by specific room hosts. This allows for some of the sets to be streamed and means the participants don't necessarily need to spend time on downloading stages. We already have a few volunteers, but more would be greatly appreciated.
• Every participant needs to be in the Discord chat during the tournament.
• The seeding will be done as regional as possible, meaning European players will mostly play with other Europeans and American players will mostly play with other Americans. For this to work, please tell me your region in the Discord chat as soon as possible when signing up.
• By request, all Mii movesets are legal - at a tournament where things like these are tried, this should be possible. The rules on them are still strict, as only Guest Miis are allowed and their moveset has to be clear from their name. For details, read the ruleset through.
