RULES:
- Double Eliminations.
- Matches are 3 stock, 8 minutes.
- Items are set to “off” and “none”.
- Stage striking will be used to select the stages that will be played on for the duration of the set from the 17 available stages.
- At the beginning of the set player A will strike one stage, Player B will then proceed to strike another stage. Players will continue to alternate until only 3 stages are left. Players will strike down to 5 stages for finals matches.
These are the ONLY stages that will be used for that set. Players will continue to strike down to one stage to determine what stage will be used for the first round.
The loser of the first game will then choose which of the remaining stages they would like Round 2 to be played on. After this the winner of the previous round will select their character, then the loser will select their character. If necessary this process will be repeated on the last remaining stage. Repetition of stages in a set is not allowed.

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.
Stalling is banned. Stalling: The act of deliberately avoiding any and all conflict so that one may make the game unplayable. Any infinite chain grabs must end quickly after 300% has been reached so as to prevent excessive stalling.

If time runs out during a match, Sudden Death will never be played. Use the following rules instead:
If one player has more stock remaining than the other, the victor will be the player with the most stock.
If the stock count is tied, then the player with the lowest damage percent wins the round.
If Sudden Death is forced by one player using a "suicide" move (Kirby/Dedede Swallow, Ganondorf Flame Choke, Bowser Bomb, Wario Bite, etc.), then whoever initiated the suicide move wins the game.
If both the percent and stock are tied at the end of a match, a one (1) stock, two (2) minute match will be played. This match must be played on the same level as the game prior and with the same characters. Whoever wins this 1-stock playoff wins the game.
There is no Ledge Grab limit for either teams or singles .
Additional Rules:
- In the event of any dispute, for example: controller ports or character color choice, both players will play Rock Paper Scissors for it.
- BYOC. You are responsible for your own controller (Bring your own) 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 the game has started. Multiple instances of resetting due to controller errors will result in a potential DQ.
- In team matches, the ports will be determined in a 1221 fashion; whoever wins the RPS will choose first, then the opposing team will get their ports, and then the teammate of the RPS winner will get the last port.
- 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 should know to take the batteries out of their controllers after finishing a set; not only will this save battery life, but it prevents accidental intereference and delay for tournament matches.
- Set team attack to "on" and Life Stealing is allowed in doubles.
- Don't be a douche. The tournament host reserves the right at any time to make you leave the tournament. (That's me!)
