Rules

• Matches will be three (3) Stock, eight minute time limit.
  
• Singles will start with elimination Pools to determine seeding for the bracket.
  
• Double Elimination. All matches will be 2/3, with all finals (Grand, winner's, loser's) being 3/5.
  
• Items will be off.
  
• Life stealing is allowed in teams.
  
• Smashballs will be OFF.
  
• Advanced Slob picks: First match is a blind pick, where the competitors will tell their character to a judge, and then proceed. The loser of the first match will then pick the next stage, then the winner may choose his character. After, the loser will choose his character and begin. The same will happen for the third match, if forced.
  
• The Mage's DQ rule is also in effect:
  
• 2 Minutes Late: Warning/Loss of first stock
  
• 4 Minutes Late: Loss of first match of set
  
• 6 Minutes Late: Loss of set
  
• No scrooging: Going completely under the stage so that you pass from one side to the other three or more times in succession without having landed on the main platform is banned and will result in a forfeit of the game. Clinging or hanging on ledges, as well as landing on floating platforms, do not count as landing on the main platform of the stage.
  
• 40 Ledge Grab Rule: If time runs out and you have grabbed the ledge over 40 times you lose the match.
  
• Dave's Stupid Rule: You cannot pick a stage you have won on.
  
• Each player gets one stage ban per set.
  
• Stage striking will be used to determine stages (See below).
  
• If a game goes to time, the winner is first determined by who has more stocks, then who has less percent. If both of those are equal, then a 1 stock, 3 minute rematch is played on the same stage.
  
• Suicide moves that result in Sudden Death is a win for the suicide initiator.
