How to Ban Stages!

Player one is determined by a best of 1 game of Rock-Paper-Scissors or a coin toss. Stages are stuck in a P1-P2-P2-P1 order and will play on that stage. After the first match, the winner will ban one stage from the neutral stage list and repeat the process, a player may not Counterpick a stage they previously won on during any part of the set unless agreed upon by the opponent.

(All tournament sets will be played on CRTs and are best-of-3 games, until the top cut of the event at which point tournament sets will be best-of-5 games.)

(no coaching mid sets for melee, it could lead to a DQ for both parties.)
