- All sets are best of three, except winners and losers semi-final and finals as well as grand finals which are best of 5.

- Controller ports are decided by coin flip.

- No player may choose a stage they have already won on in that set unless
agreed upon.

- If the timer runs out, the victor is determined first by stock and then by
percentage. If there is still a tie then a 1-stock 4-minute match will be played on the same stage.

-Ledge Grab Limit of 35 will be in effect, if you time out a match and have 36 or more ledge grabs you will lose the match.

DDD's standing and walking chaingrabs are banned.

You are responsible for your own controller and name tag. Any malfunctions or errors that occur are your responsibility, so bring an extra controller if possible and always check to make sure you're using the correct settings BEFORE a match is played. If a match is to be restarted due to controller functions, it must be agreed upon by both parties.

Any action that can prevent the game from continuing (i.e., freezing,
disappearing characters, game reset, etc.) will result in a forfeit of that
match for the player that initiated the action. You are responsible for
knowing your own character and must be wary about accidentally triggering
one of these effects.

Any infinite chain grabs must end quickly after 300% has been reached

Beginning of the set:
1. Opponents choose their characters via double blind pick
2. Opponents start the stage striking procedure each player will alternate striking a
stage until there is 1 left. That stage is played first round. THERE IS NO RANDOM UNLESS IT AGREED UPON BY BOTH PARTIES.
3. Each player may announce one stage to be banned from the counterpicks of the set
4. The first game is played, using the stage chosen during step 2
5. The loser of the previous match announces the next match's stage.
6. The winner of the previous match chooses their character
7. The loser of the previous match chooses their character
8. Repeat steps 5-7 for all proceeding matches

Suicide Rules:
If Bowser, Kirby, Ganon, Wario or D3 suicides someone off the stage, the match is awarded to the character initiating the suicide.

The Mages DQ rule: (Will be VERY rigidly enforced)
2 minutes late: Warning
4 minutes late: Loss of first match of the set
6 minutes late: Loss of set

Color Blind rule: Should a player have a color-based disability, he or she
may request in a teams match to have a specific color for their team. This is
so characters such as Lucario or Sonic can be granted the blue team so that
there is not unnecessary confusion.

Wiimotes and Classic Controller users must take batteries out when not playing a match. (Please, if at all possible, avoid using these during the tournament)

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Like a prep-tourney for Pound V.

I say keep the MK ban. From what I heard, the MK mains that went had fun, one saying that it was nice to not have everyone go MK second match for every tourny set.

ofc i'll be here

will be here. Rules were fine for melee, not many people have much of a problem with P4 rules. Even though you said both games, I'm sure Brawl will be the main focus regarding that. lol planking metaknights

You shouldn't have done that...

can't wait for this especially sinceim going to Pound V.

warm up for Pound 5

if its not too late in January ( before classes start ) there is chance I come since its near Quebec.
