• Stage Clause: A player/team may not pick any stage they previously won on during the set.
• Stage Bans: During the stage ban phase, the winning player may ban one stages from the stagelist. In a Best-of-5 set, there are no bans.
• Self-Destruct Moves: If a match ends with the successful use of a character’s self-destruct move, the initiator of the self-destruct move will be deemed the winner, regardless of the appearance of the results screen.
• Team Colors: Players’ character colors must match their team’s color when possible, to avoid confusion (ex: Luigi on the green team must use the green costume).
• DLC Characters: All DLC characters are legal in addition to the entire cast of characters on the select screen.
• Glitches: Any glitches that freeze the game are banned, and the player who initiated the glitch is subject to forfeiture of the match.

Additional Rules

• Gentleman’s Clause: Players may agree to play on any stage that is not on the legal stagelist. Players may agree to change the number of matches to be played in a set ONLY with explicitly given permission from the TO
• Double Blind Character Select: Either player may request a double blind character select for the first game. In this situation, a third party is told, in secret, each player’s character choice. Both players then select their character, and the third party validates that the character selected is the same as what they said.
• Port Priority: If an agreement cannot be made as to who gets what port, the players may enact a best-of-1 game of Rock Paper Scissors. A best-of-1 Game and Watch hammer may also be used (higher number wins). Winner gets their port selection, loser selects any other port.
• Neutral Start: Either player may enact this rule. Once enacted, both players may only use one of the two neutral starting ports. A best-of-1 game of Rock Paper Scissors may be used to determine who chooses port first. If both the Port Priority and Neutral Start rules are invoked, the player who is granted Port Priority selects one of the neutral start ports. Neutral starting ports are only applicable to Super Smash Bros. Melee. For Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, players may elect to move to opposite sides of the stage and then count down prior to starting the match.
• Pausing: In the event that pause is not turned off, pausing the game is only legal while a player remains upon their OWN respawn platform, and only for the purpose of summoning a tournament organizer, or in the event of a controller malfunction. All other pauses will incur a stock loss to the offending player. If a pause causes an opponent to lose a stock, the offending player may be required to forfeit two stocks.
• Stalling: The act of stalling, or intentionally making the game unplayable, is banned and at the discretion of the TO. Stalling tactics include but are not limited to becoming invisible, infinites past 300%, chain grabs past 300%, or uninterruptible moves past 300%; or abusing a position in which your opponent can never reach you. Any action that can prevent the game from continuing (i.e., pausing, freeze glitches, disappearing characters, game reset, etc.) will result in forfeiture of that match for the offending player. You are responsible for knowing your own character, and must be wary about accidentally triggering these effects.
• Timeouts / Ties: The winner of a match that goes to time (time out) will be determined by stocks and then percentage. When the timer hits 0:00, the player with the higher stock count is the winner. If both players are tied in stocks, the player with the lower percentage is the winner. In the event of a percentage tie, or a match in which both players lost their last stock simultaneously, a 1 stock tiebreaker will be played with a 3:00 time limit. The result of the game’s built-in Sudden Death does not count towards the set count.
• Stock Sharing: Is allowed in doubles. Trading controllers is not allowed.
• Colorblind Clause: Players may request that their opponent change colors to accommodate colorblindedness, or if their color is indistinguishable from either the other team color or the stage background. This request must be made before gameplay begins in a given match.
• Warm-ups: Warm-up periods, button checks, and “handwarmers” should not exceed 30 seconds on the game clock. Repeated violations of this rule may result in an automatic forfeit at the discretion of the TO.
• Misinterpretation (Good Faith Clause): Games or sets ARE NOT to be replayed due to a misinterpretation of the rules; it is the players’ responsibilities to ask the TO for any clarification of the rule set in the event of a disagreement, and the outcome of a game or set will not be changed after the fact unless under extreme circumstances. Any set or game played is played “in good faith.” No “retroactive johns.”
• Coaching: Any coaching that happens during a set (anytime between the beginning of game one and end of the set) is banned. Players who violate this rule will be subject to disqualification from the event or eviction from the venue. Teammates in doubles are welcome to talk to each other as much as they want, but it must not excessively delay the tournament set.
• Collusion: Any collusion or results manipulation with your competitors is forbidden. If the TO determines that any competitor is colluding to manipulate results or intentionally underperform, the colluding players may be immediately disqualified. This determination is to be made at the sole discretion of the TO. Anyone disqualified in this manner forfeits all rights to any titles or prize money they might have otherwise earned.
• Wireless Controllers: Wireless controllers are allowed, but the batteries must be removed after every match. Holdups due to a controller still being connected to a setup will not be tolerated.
• Malfunctions: Any malfunctions associated with your controller are your responsibility. Players are responsible for using the correct settings BEFORE the set begins. Both parties need to agree if a match is to be paused or restarted because of a controller problem.

Code of Conduct

• All ejections or disqualifications due to violations of the Code of Conduct or individual game rules will be without refund.
• Food and drink are allowed in the venue. Please keep them contained and do not place them where they may be spilled. The long tables away from the setups are unofficial eating areas. If requested by the TO, you must move your food there.
• No alcohol or illegal substances inside the venue. Getting caught with these items or evidence of the presence of these items will result in disqualification from the event and eviction from the venue.
• No fighting or weaponry inside the venue. Throwing controllers or acting in a way that could pose a danger to other players will result in disqualification from the event and eviction from the venue.
• No refusal to play on certain setups barring extreme circumstances. All players agree to have their matches recorded if requested by the TO.
• All disqualifications due to tardiness will be partial DQs, meaning the disqualified player will forfeit the match to be played. If it is a Winners side match, he/she will be sent to Losers and allowed to compete. If it is a Losers side match, he/she will be eliminated.
• The TO reserves the right to deny entry into the tournament to any player suspected of committing anything considered a crime or acting in a manner that is detrimental to the integrity of the event.
• The TO reserves the right to deny payout from event winnings to any player suspected of intentionally throwing a match, splitting a payout, or committing any other form of bracket manipulation.
• The TO reserves the right to settle any unforeseen situations that may occur, and his judgment is final. In extreme situations, rules may be altered between phases of a tournament in the best interests of the event.
