The Major League Ruleset
The purpose of this ruleset is to diversify character depth. It trims the stage list to force the player to think along the lines of character matchups. The Major League Ruleset exposes players to more characters on offense and defense, and places a special restriction on character selection.
Stages: Final Destination / Battlefield / Smashville on random selection.
Characters:
First Round - a random match or coin toss. The loser must pick their character first. This round does not count as a win or a loss in the set.
Remaining rounds - alternate picking characters until the set is won. You may not use the same character twice in a set. In other words, the cooldown for picking a character is as long as the potential number of matches in the set.
For example, if you are playing a best of 3 set, then the cooldown for using that character is 3 matches. Obviously this means you can't use that character again until the next set. Introducing a cooldown gives room for variation, where you can make the cooldown less than the number of matches so you can at least get your main in more than once.
Finally, if you are playing for fun and thus doing multiple sets, then the player who won the last set picks a character first, in place of the random match.
...
The ruleset is named after Major League Baseball, where starting pitchers are unable to pitch on back to back days due to the strain it puts on their arms. Their cooldown is typically 5 (days).
