Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
GENERAL RULES:
Mode: Stock (2) Items off. / Stock & Time: 6 Minutes / Round Format: Best 2 of 3 (Best 3 of 5 for Loser's, Winner's and Grand Finals) / Customs: Not allowed at this time.
TOURNAMENT ETIQUETTE:
- Timeliness: Be on time for your matches. A time limit of five minutes is granted; when that limit expires, you are at the mercy of your opponent. You are required to check in on Challonge within an hour before the tournament in question. Failure to do so will result in immediate removal from the bracket - no questions asked.
- In the initial round, the two players may choose their fighters freely and use the Gentleman’s Rule, which states that both players must agree on a stage before choosing it. Stage Striking: One player strikes two stages from the Starter Stage list (see LEGAL STAGES). The other player also bans two. The remaining stage is to be fought on.
- The winner of the previous round will choose their character first and ban three stages for the upcoming round.
- The loser of the previous round will choose their character last and the stage on which the players will fight. The stage must not be either of the three that have been banned by the winner of the previous round. (i.e. If the winner bans Battlefield and Final Destination, those two stages cannot be chosen by any means unless the winner changes his or her mind.)
- Dave’s Stupid Rule: You can’t take a player to a stage that they’ve already lost on (unless they agree).
- Stalling is not tolerated. (i.e. Luigi Ladder and Rising Pound)
- There is no sudden death. If a match is concluded and both players have equal stocks, then the player with the least damage wins. If both players have the same stocks and same damage percentage, then a one-stock rematch is to be held.
- If a suicide move leads to sudden death, the initiator wins. If the results screen declares that they lost, then they lost. This includes but is not limited to: Bowser, Ganondorf, Kirby, King Dedede.
- Johns are not tolerated... even though Johns are cool. (i.e. I did a recovery fail, so that match doesn’t count!)
REPORTING SCORES:
The winner of each round is required to report the scores of the set to one channel operator or bracket administrator through Private Message (PM) (see COMMUNICATION).
