No player can pick any stage they've previously won on in the set.

For the sake of strikes and bans, Tower of Salvation and Final Destination are considered one stage. In game one, Tower of Salvation is the default starter, with Final Destination being chosen by agreement.

Stage striking can be forgone entirely, and legal stages may be chosen directly if agreed to.

Set Procedure
  • Before game 1, players strike stages in P1-P2-P2-P1 form.
  • The higher-seeded player is considered player 1.
  • For game 1, characters are picked double-blind.
  • Following game 1, the winning player will ban 2 stages, and the losing player will pick from the remaining stages to play on.
  • The winner will then declare their character selection, followed by the loser.
  • Players have 10 minutes to show up for their first set for the tournament; if they do not show up, they are disqualified from the bracket.

After the first set, if a player does not show up within 5 minutes to their set, they lose the set automatically. If their next opponent is ready to play, after 5 more minutes, they are disqualified.

These are the basic rules. If you want to see the full ruleset you can read it here.

In all disputes the tournament organizer has the final ruling in any issue.
