Tournament-Legal Stages?

[FirestormNeos]

Alright, can someone remind me what the Legal Stages are? Or point me in the direction of where I can figure it out?

There is not an "Official" listing for legal stages, however, there is an "Official" analysis on each one of them and their usage: http://smashboards.com/threads/bbr-stage-analysis-project.307804/
Why isn't that thread stickied?
other than the fact there is a bazillion stickies here already?

There are a few common rule sets that you will often see depending on where you go and how large the tourney is. Listing in order of how conservative they are.

Unity: Used for a while, used more often when MK is banned, used by the WHOBO series. Not sure if going to be used for 2013
Starter: Battlefield/Smashville/Final Destination/Lylat Cruise/Yoshi's Island/Castle Siege/Pokemon Stadium 1
Counterpick: Halberd/Frigate/Delfino/Rainbow Cruise/Brinstar/Pokemon Stadium 2

Apex: Used by the last 2 Apexes, pretty common rule set but I'm pretty sure this won't be used for Apex 2014
Starter: Battlefield/Smashville/Final Destination/Lylat Cruise/Yoshi's Island
Counterpick: Castle Siege/Pokemon Stadium 1/Halberd/Frigate/Delfino

SoCal 7: Used in SoCal and NJ afaik. Becoming a lot more popular in 2013.
Starter: Battlefield/Smashville/Final Destination/Lylat Cruise/Yoshi's Island
Counterpick: Castle Siege/Pokemon Stadium 1

Japan: Stage list used by rain at SRT, afaik this rule set is the most common over there, although they don't have a unified rule set.
Starter: Battlefield/Smashville/Final Destination/Lylat Cruise/Yoshi's Island

Hope this helped.
