:TOURNAMENT RULES: (from the SBR Ruleset)
₪ 3 Stock
₪ 8 minute timer
₪ Items are set to "off" and "none"
₪ All sets with the possible exception of winner's finals, loser's finals, and the championship are best of 3 matches (best of 5 and above is recommended for any "finals" matches)
₪ In the event of a dispute, controller ports will be selected by Rock-Paper-Scissors
₪No player may choose a stage they have already won on in that set unless agreed upon by both players.
₪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.
₪If the timer runs out, the victor is determined first by stock and then by percentage.
₪Metaknight's Infinite Cape glitch is banned.
₪ If a game ends with Bowser doing his suicide klaw and it ends in sudden death, the sudden death will be ignored and that game will count as a win for Bowser.
₪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.
₪ Stalling is banned.
₪Set team attack to ON
₪Stage Lists
The SBR Recommended rule list uses the stage striking system. In this system, players take turns striking stages from the starter list until only one remains; these stages are not banned and can be counterpicked later in the set. There must be an odd number of starter stages.
Starter
Battlefield
Smashville
Final Destination
Yoshi's Island
Lylat Cruise
Counter
Delfino
Castle Siege
Halberd
Pokémon Stadium 1
Rainbow Cruise
Frigate Orpheon
Brinstar
Pokémon Stadium 2
**Stages that are not listed here are banned**
₪Resolving Ties: Any games ending in time running out should always be decided by stock, and then percents. If percents are the same or both players die simultaneously, there will be a 1 stock overttime or the sudden death will be played out. The TO needs to decide which of these will be used before the tournament. Bowser's suicide klaw is exempt from this rule.
₪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.
₪The Mages DQ rule: After a match has been called, if a player is two minutes late he will receive a warning. At 4 minutes late, he will be given a loss for the first game of the set. After six minutes, he will be given a loss of the entire set.

- A Message from Warrior of Zarona:
Hey folks! This is WoZ coming at you with a new series of King of the Couch, and this next event will be held in Edison! It will be the first KOTC event by held yours truly, and while the suicide fox will also be at the event running the GoW2 tournament, all smash-related events will now be handled by me.
For now, this is going to be a Singles Only event per the time limit. Depending on the number of people that show up, we may decide to do pools earlier during the day. I've actually been wondering about using the Swiss system, and it will be a possibility that I may be using it in the future, but for now, it's straight up Double Elimination brackets.
The $20 entrance fee includes a $15 singles fee to enter the event as well as a meal voucher that you can use on any list of items on the menu and unlimited soda! It's a deal you can't afford to miss!
Lastly, PLEASE BRING SETUPS! KOTC currently has 4 full setups for Brawl, and we could use your help!
We're hoping that KOTC can give you a great experience in terms of the quality of hosting and tournament gameplay. The next event will be Super Smash Bros. MELEE! Check back on this thread for updates and more!
