General Rules

• Absolutely NO CUSSING in the store, or the store owner can throw you out.
• 3 Stock for Brawl.
• 7 minute timer.
• Items are set to "Off" and "None"
• Matches are best of 3. Winners/Losers/Grand Finals are best of 5.
• Brawl: First round stage will be determined by stage strike system.
• No player may choose a stage they have already won on in that set unless agreed upon by both players.
• In the event of a dispute for controller ports, rock-paper-scissors or a coin flip will be used.
• Make sure you fix your controller and your tag before you start playing. If a match is to be restarted due to controller functions, it must be agreed upon by both parties.
• Any action that can prevent the game from continuing (i.e., freezing, disappearing characters, game reset, etc.) will result in a forfeit of that match for the player that initiated the action.
• [Time Limit] If the timer runs out, the winner of the game will be determined by the following criteria in this order: Stock and Percentage. If Stock is used to determine a winner, the highest number will win. If Percentage is used to determine a winner, the lowest number will win. If both Stock and Percentage are tied, Sudden Death won’t be used and a Tiebreaker Round will be played instead. In a Tiebreaker Round, stock will be set to 1, the timer will be set to 4 Minutes, and the same stage and characters must be used.

MLG Rules

• No use of Marth’s grab release infinites against Lucas and Ness.
• No use of King Dedede’s grab infinites against Bowser, Donkey Kong, Luigi, Samus, and Mario.
• No use of Metaknight’s infinite cape glitch.
• No pausing a game without the other player's permission.
• No use of an action that freezes a game, or otherwise disrupts standard gameplay.
• Any infinite move must end before the affected character reaches 300%.
• Players may request a blind pick of characters for the game 1 of a match.
• Players may not intentionally manipulate a button, trigger, bumper, D-Pad, and/or joystick on a teammate’s controller while a game is in progress. Breaking this rule will result in a forfeit of the game.
• [Stage Striking] For game 1 of each match, the higher seeded player/team must strike three stages from the list of starter stages. The lower seeded player/team must then strike 4 stages from the list of starter stages. The higher seeded player/team must then choose the game 1 stage from the remaining starter stages.
• [Ledge Grab Limit] If the timer runs out and a player exceeds the ledge grab limit for that game’s stage, that player/team will forfeit the game. However, if the timer runs out and both players in a 1v1 match, or at least one player on each 2v2 team, exceed the ledge grab limit for that game’s stage, the penalty will not be enforced (instead, use the [Time Limit] rule above). The ledge grab limit will be 35. The ledge grab limits only apply to games/tiebreaker rounds in which the timer runs out.
