Additional Rules for Teams Play

How to Play a Set
1. Players select their characters. Either player may elect to Double Blind.
2. Use Stage Striking* to determine the first stage.
3. The players play the first match of the set.
Prior to starting this match, either player may elect to Contest Port Priority or Neutral Start.
Note: Only one of these two may be used, as both have a built in Port Selection mechanism using RPS. If there is a situation where a player would like to change which option they elected after playing the game of RPS, it is the opponent’s choice to allow it. The results from the previously played game of RPS will carry over.

4. Winning player of the preceding match bans a stage/stages (if applicable).
For Best of 3 sets, each player gets 1 stage ban.
For Best of 5 sets, there are no stage bans.
5. The losing player of the preceding match picks a stage for the next match.
6. The winning player of the preceding match may choose to change characters.
7. The losing player of the preceding match may choose to change characters.

9. Neutral Start, but RPS will not be played to determine first pick.
10. The next match is played.
11. Repeat Steps 4 through 9 for all subsequent matches until the set is complete.

Term Definitions
* Double Blind: Either player may request that a double blind selection occur. In this situation, a 3rd party should be told, in secret, each of player’s choices for the first round. Both players are to then select their first round character, with the 3rd party validating that the character selected is the same as their word.
* Contest 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. 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 Positions”. A best of one game of Rock Paper Scissors may be used to determine who gets the higher port. If one player elects to Contest Port Priority and the other elects to Neutral Start, Neutral Start takes priority.


Singles:

* DSR Modified: A player/team may not counterpick to the stage they last won on.
* Gentleman’s Clause: Any stage may be played on if both players agree to it. This rule takes priority over DSR.
* Forced Character Selection: The losing player once had the option to select Random Stage as their counterpick and remove the option to change characters from the winner of the previous round. This is no longer legal. If a player wishes to select Random Stage as their counterpick, the winner of the previous round may choose to change their character.
* Stage Striking: Players eliminate stages from the Starter/Neutral list until there is one stage remaining.




* Doubles:
* DSR Modified: A player/team may not counterpick to the stage they last won on.
* Gentleman’s Clause: Any stage may be played on if both players agree to it. This rule takes priority over DSR.
* Forced Character Selection: The losing player once had the option to select Random Stage as their counterpick and remove the option to change characters from the winner of the previous round. This is no longer legal. If a player wishes to select Random Stage as their counterpick, the winner of the previous round may choose to change their character.

Wouldn't make much of a difference for me. In fact, it would be a little better so we have another week in between no johns (March 3) and this = bigger attendance.

I just started to get into ssbm and this will be the first tourney I'll be going to (just to watch). I go to NYU and I know quite a lot of people that play Smash as casuals that I'll be bringing along. Our dorm is only a few blocks away. Already excited about it.
