Stage Bans After each Game, before counterpicking, the Player who won the previous Game may ban one stage from either the Starter or Counterpick list.

Stage Clause A Player/team may not pick the last stage they previously won on during the set.

Self-Destruct Moves If a match ends with a self-destruct move, the results screen will determine the winner. If a sudden death occurs, standard sudden death rules apply.

Team Colors Players’ character colors must match their team's color when possible, to avoid confusion (ex: Luigi on the green team must use the green costume).

Permitted Controllers For ease of access, Tournament Staff recommends the use of the Nintendo Gamecube controller, however, The Wii U Pro controller (Battery removed), Wii Remote, Wii Remote + Nunchuck, Wii Remote + Classic Controller, and the Nintendo 3DS Family in controller mode are all permitted control options. Turbo/Macro options on controllers are banned. “Box” variants of the Gamecube Controller are permitted as long as they do not have macros/turbo enabled.\

Controller Interference If your controller is found to be the cause of disruption to the tournament (mid-game or otherwise), you are subject to complete disqualification from the event..
