• Tournament Length

This tournament is double elimination (two total match losses).

• Set Length

All tournament sets will be best-of-three (first-to-two wins), until Semi-Finals at which point tournament sets will be best-of-five (first-to-three wins). Rules below do not change between these two set formats.

• Pausing and the Home Button

Pausing is turned off for the duration of the match. Home button presses will be ruled against the offender based on the opponents discretion.

• Stalling

Stalling, or intentionally making the game unplayable, is a bannable offense at the discretion of Tournament Officials. Stalling includes, but is not limited to, becoming invisible, continuing infinites past 300%, and reaching a position that the player’s character can never be reached by the opposing character. Stalling will result in a forfeit of the game for the player that initiated the action.

• Self-Destruct Moves

If a game ends with a self-destruct move, the results screen will determine the winner. If a sudden death occurs as the result of a self-destruct move, a standard sudden death play-off game applies.

• Sudden Death

If a game goes to Sudden Death, the winner is determined by stocks and percentage at the time the game ends. If both players are tied in stocks, the player with the lower percentage is the winner. In the event of a percentage tie, or a game in which both players lose their last stock simultaneously, a one-stock tiebreaker will be played with a three-minute time limit on the same stage and with the same characters as the tied game. The results of an in-game 300% Sudden Death do not count. If Sudden Death occurs in a Sudden Death game, this process is repeated.

• Warm-ups

Warm-up periods, button checks and “handwarmers” may not exceed 60 seconds on the game clock. Violation of this rule may result in a game loss at the discretion of the Tournament Official.

• Tardiness

Anyone who is not present for their set 10 minutes past the scheduled start time of the round is subject to a total disqualification from the event.

• Legal Stages will be randomly selected from the following list in either Omega and Battlefield forms:

Battlefield Town and City Pokémon Stadium 2 Smashville Kalos Pokémon League Small Battlefield

Finals will be featured on Final Destination in Omega form
