Type of Battles: One vs. one. Not a lot to say here.



Items off. No items are to be allowed whatsoever. This rule is incredibly important, as not abiding by this rule will result in an automatic disqualification.



Number of Battles: Best two out of three. To avoid possible flukes, three [3] battles will be played. Whomever win two [2] of the three [3] will be declared victor.



Time and Stock: Three [3] stock, and eight [8] minutes. This ensures that there will not be any foolish stalling. If time runs out, however, then whomever had fewer lives and more damage dealt will be declared loser.



No Hacks or Glitches: This should be clear. Hack and you are out.



No Stalling: Jumping and running away without dealing damage is prohibited. Naturally there are characters such as Olimar whom excel at camping, but there is a fine line between that and stalling. Planking/Scrooging is also banned.



Suicide Rules: All suicide techniques are allowed and valid.



Is Switching Characters Allowed: YES.

Super Nice Bonus Rule: If people taunt after a kill, do not kill them! Let them taunt once and THEN press on the fight!





Welp, those are the rules. More likely than not, some of you may have a few questions. Go ahead and ask them, as that is the reason that this thread was invented! I hope that you did not find anything TOO outrageous or scandalous, and that any conflicts are meager at best.
