At the start of the set, your opponent and yourself will strike stages from the Starters stage list.
Stage Striking:

- If not, smash.gg chooses who bans a stage first
- Second person/team strikes x stages
- First person/team strikes x stages
- The remaining stage is the one where the first match will be played.
Counter-picking (after Game 1):
- The winning player/team strikes x stages from starters and counter picks
- The losing player/team chooses whichever stage they like from the remaining ones.
