This is your tourny dude, so I am not gonna tell you how to run this thing, really if I am coming from NYC which is like a 5 hour drive. But here is what We uses in NY/NJ and other areas around this region.
Super Smash Bros Brawl RULES
Singles 1 v 1 and Doubles 2 v 2
Double elimination
3 stock, Time limit is 8 minutes, Best 2 out of 3 matches.
50 ledge grab rule- if players time each other in a match and if one of the other players go over 50 ledge grabs.... the player that went over 50 lg's loses the match.
All types of stalling are banned. Stalling at last 30 seconds of timer is one thing but several minutes is unacceptable. If a player is stalling.... call a ref... and explain what he was doing. continue the match to the match is finished and then save the replay and show it to the ref. Then the ref will check out the replay and determined whether the player was stalling or not.
You may not counterpick a stage that you won on.
You may play any banned stage as long as both you, and your opponent agree.
DOUBLES: Team attack is on/ Life stealing is on

No standing or walking ddd chaingrab. the player must run and grab with ddd.
If both players have one stock and one of the players caught the other player with a suicide move.... the player that initiated the move wins automatically no matter if the opponent wins or it was tie. I did this cause in this game.... controller port counts as to if you win, lose or tie and i think it's stupid. to make it simple if you get caught by a suicide move... you lose. plain and simple.
In the event of a TIE at the end of the match, because time ran out.. the player with the most stock wins the match. If both players have the same amount of stock, then it is decided by percentage. If both players have the same amount of stock and percentage, the players will quit the sudden death, set the stock count to one and restart the match.
