Additional Rules

Stalling

No unsportsmanlike conduct, 3 warning then a DQ. Stalling, or unintentionally making the game unplayable, is banned and at the discretion of tournament staff. Stalling includes but is not limited to becoming invisible, 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 initiating the action.

Self-Destruct Moves

If a game ends with a self-destruct move, the results screen will determine the winner. If a sudden death occurs, sudden death rules apply.

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 wins. In the event of a percentage tie, or a game in which both players lose their stocks simultaneously, a 1 stock tiebreaker will be played with a 3 minute time limit on the same stage with the same characters. The results of an in-game 300% Sudden Death do not count. If Sudden Death occurs in a Sudden Death game, the process is repeated.

Tardiness

Anyone who is not present for check in by 5pm will be disqualified from the Tournament.
