1. Misinterpretation/Misconfiguration.

   • Games and matches are not to be replayed due to a misinterpretation of the rules OR misconfiguration of game settings.

   • Game settings should be configured according to “GAME SETTINGS” established above.

   • It is the players’ responsibility to ask staff for any clarification of the rule set.

   • In the event of a disagreement, the outcome of a game, or set, will not be changed after the fact unless under extreme circumstances.

     • Example: No stocks were lost and...

       • ...controller is drifting. 

       • ...the default controller settings were selected by mistake (see Rule 7).

   • Judgment reserved for tournament staff.

2. Winner will be determined by stocks.

   • In-game Sudden Death will not determine winner.

   • If tied by stock, winner will be determined by lowest Total damage percentage taken.

   • If tied by damage taken, winner will be determined by highest Total damage percentage given.

   • In the rare event of a tie in stock and percentages, players will play a match with the same game settings except:

     • One stock  & 3 minutes.

3. Character Selection: 

   • Players will select their character and skin of their choice (DLCs are allowed if available). 

   • In the event of players wanting the same skin, a "coin flip" will determine who gets the skin. 

   • In the event that both players cannot choose a character, players will each choose two characters to be randomly selected by "coin flip."

4. Pausing will be strictly forbidden.

5. Glitches & Rule Breaking

   • In the event of a glitch or broken rule during the match, tournament officials will provide rule and/or clarification for said circumstances.

     • Reaching a position that your opponent can never reach.

   • Stalling will result in a forfeit of the game for the player that initiated the action.

   • A player who repeatedly dodges, jumps, or runs around is NOT considered stalling.

7. Controllers:

   • Default controller settings will be No Stick-Jump.

     • Changing to individual controller settings must be done prior to the start of the match.
