General Gameplay:



- 2 Stock for singles, 3 stock for 2v2/3v3/Items

- 5 min stock timer for Singles, 8 min timer for 2v2/3v3

- Items are set to "off" and "none"

- If the timer runs out, the victor is determined first by stock and then by percentage. If there is a tie, see the tiebreaker section to follow.

- Controller ports will be decided by players. If there is a conflict, we prefer using the G&W Hammer method to determine who gets to choose.

- You may switch controller ports on your counterpick only.

- BYOC (Bring your own controller). I recommend having a spare, just in case. If you don't have one, I might have a few for sale.

- Any controller malfunction mid match is on you. If you need to reset, your opponent will have to agree to a reset as doing so will require you to pause the match. (if pause is on).

- Stalling is banned. You know what this is, ask if you're unsure.

- If you freeze the game on an action initiated by your character, you lose the game. You are expected to know the boundaries of your character. (This rarely, if ever, happens.)

- Pause is recommended to be turned on for quick resets, but players can request it be turned off for the duration of their match.

- If a player pauses the match mid game (accidentally or intentionally), it is a stock loss to the player who pressed it (unless for valid interruption at T.O's discretion).

- A match ending in simultaneous death does not go to the initiator. If the result is sudden death from this, use the normal tiebreaking rules (to follow) to determine the winner. Otherwise use who the game declared the winner.

- Coaching mid-match is banned. Don't do it.

- You cannot re-select a stage you have won on as a counterpick.

- Any and all infinites (basically, where someone can control the opponent without them being able to do anything about it) must end at 300%, otherwise it becomes stalling. All infinites are entirely legal otherwise.

- ALL sets are best 2 of 3 games, with the following exceptions: Losers, Winners, and Grand Finals are a best of 5. Additionally, the Semi finals matches in the main singles event will be best of 5 (top 6 finalists).

- In the event of a game running to time, the winner is determined first by stocks, then % if the stocks are tied.

- 1 stage ban for Wii U

- Mii Fighters are legal with a 1-1-1-1 set

- 3v3 is a Single Elimination Tournament, with only the finals being 3 of 5.

Tie Breaking:



Note: Tiebreaking is only initiated if the game started a sudden death round upon completion. Otherwise, the game declared winner is the winner of the match.



1. Winner is determined by highest stock count then lowest percent.

2. 1 stock, 3 minute match is played as a tiebreaker match. The winner of this match wins the game. If there is a tie in this match, proceed to step 4.

3. A second 1 stock, no time limit match is played. If a simultaneous death is initiated (such as swallocide) in this match, the initiator loses the match. There is no tie for this match, it is play until you win.
