Lansmash is a Brisbane lan party group. Every year they hold a large lan party called "LS Arena", and this time, the folks at Lansmash have been kind enough to support a Smash tournament!

So who is this tournament for?
Veterans! Another chance to prove yourself against your rivals. This will be the biggest Queensland event yet! Finals will be shown on projectors with commentary! What better way to win?
Newbies! Been lurking the boards shyly? Come out! Lansmash pulls 300 gamers to LS Arena events, so there's no question there will be people at your level that will allow you to learn.
People that love fun! So you're not too good at smash? Just come anyway! There will be time allocated to friendlies too. Or if you don't like to play, you can just watch and chat with us, though we guarantee you won't be able to resist having a scrum around, because it's Smash!

Rules
As you can see, players will be entered into heats and play in them from 10am to 12pm, then the higher ranking players will then be entered into a finals bracket starting from 3pm. It the size of either of these brackets have not yet been confirmed. Finals bracket will likely be double elimination.
General
1. Items are OFF
2. Four lives per player each game
3. Time limit of 8:00 minutes
Stage & Character Selection
1. The stage for Game 1 will be selected at random unless both players can agree on a stage. After the stage has been randomly selected each player may call for a reset. Each player can only call for a reset once during a series. If a reset is called, another stage must be randomly selected. The stage that was first selected can’t be randomly selected again, but is still available for a counter pick.
2. After characters have been selected for the first game, each player may choose to knock out one stage. Stages that are knocked out won’t be used during the series. Random select stages can’t be knocked out. The lower seeded player/team must make their knockout selection first. Once the first game has started, stages can’t be knocked out.
3. Singles random select stages: Final Destination, Battlefield, Yoshi's Story, Fountain of Dreams, Dreamland 64 & Pokemon Stadium
4. Stages not listed on the random select list that are not banned are open for counter picks by the losing player.
5. Stages banned for Singles Only: Great Bay and Mushroom Kingdom 2, Yoshi’s Island (Pipes), Fourside, Hyrule Temple, Flatzone, Brinstar Depths, Icicle Mountain, Big Blue, Mushroom Kingdom 1, Venom, Yoshi's Island 64, Peach’s Castle, Kongo Jungle (the one with 6 platforms) and Onett.
7. No stage may be used twice in a series.
8. After each game of a series, the player who lost the previous game may choose the stage for the next game or elect for it to be chosen randomly. After the stage has been selected, the winner of the previous game may change characters. After the winner has chosen their character, the loser of the previous game may change characters.
9. For the first game of a series, a player may call for a double-blind pick. This means that all participating players must tell a judge the character they will use for that game. Each player is required to use that character in the game.
10. Players may ask for a double-blind pick during games four and five of a series. Players must call for the pick after the loser of the previous game has chosen the next game’s stage.
11. If the players meeting in the Finals have not yet faced each other in a series and the player coming from the Losers Bracket wins the first series, another series must be played to break the tie since both players would only have one series loss.
Other Rules & Special Issues
1. Any unnecessary pausing or stalling of the game will result in a forfeit of that single game.
2. Glitches used to stop your opponent from controlling their character or indefinitely freezing them or any glitch or trick that freezes the game or makes it unable to be finished are banned and will result in the immediate forfeit of the entire match.
3. Tactics to excessively stall a match, such as dropping below levels intentionally and stalling underneath, are banned. If by using one of these tactics, you have put yourself in a place to lose a life by ending the tactic, a judge may force you to stop and lose a life and continue the match.
4. Throughout the tournament, sets will be best of three, and championship finals best of five.
