Additional clauses

Double blind character selection

Either player may request that a double blind selection occur. In this situation, a TO will be told, in secret, of each player’s character choices for the first round. Both players are to then select their first round character, with the referee validating the character selections.

Stage Agreement Clause

Players may select any LEGAL stage if they both agree on it. Players may not play on illegal stages or change the length/terms of a set.

Pause and the Home Button

Pause setting should be off. Pausing will incur a stock loss to the player who pauses the game. If the pause causes the opponent to lose a stock, the player who pauses forfeits the game. This rule also applies to controllers which cause the game to revert to the Switch home screen.

Sudden Death

If a game goes to Sudden Death, the winner is determined by stocks and percentage at the time the game ends. If both players are tied in stocks, the player with the lower percentage is the winner. In the event of a percentage tie, or a game in which both players lose their last stock simultaneously, a 1-stock tiebreaker will be played with a 3-minute time limit.

Stalling

Stalling, or intentionally making the game unplayable, is banned and at the discretion of tournament staff. Stalling includes but is not limited to continuing infinites past 300% and reaching a position that your opponent can never reach you. Stalling will result in a forfeit of the game for the player that initiated the action.
