8.1.4. Double Blind Character Selection Either Player may request that a double blind selection occur. In this situation, a Tournament Organizer will be told, in secret, each of the Players’ character choices for the first Round.

If a Player does not select the character they told to the Tournament Organizer they forfeit that Game.

For each subsequent Game in the Match, the Player who lost the previous Game may choose a stage if they have not changed their character (see Tie Games in 8.1.6 for exceptions). If the losing Player has chosen to change their character they must use Random Stage Selection.
