After each game of the set, before counterpicking, the player who won the previous game may ban 3 stages from the full stage list. These bans do not persist throughout the set. The loser of the previous game then chooses from the remaining stages. Once the stage is decided the winner will select their character, then the loser will select their character.
Mii Fighter Clause
Any player who intends to use a Mii during a set must declare so before the set. Players are required to inform their opponent of their chosen Mii’s moveset, listed in the format “XXXX.” Any combination of moves may be used, but any movesets that any player may want to use during a set must be created before the set begins. If a move outside of the proposed moveset is used, it is the responsibility of the opponent to immediately end the game and save the replay, then inform a tournament organizer of the situation.
