Set Ups:
TV, Wii U, GameCube adapter, all characters & DLC unlocked, and of course a copy of SSB4 = full setup. Set ups will be needed, and like I said, first 15 dedicated set ups will have venue waived!

Stage Striking:
Legal stages are split into two categories: “starter” and “counter-pick” stages. “Striking” a stage means a player eliminates a stage he/she does not want to play on. To make this easy, I will lay out the order of events of a set:
1) Players choose their characters (This is a double-blind pick.)
2) Players randomly determine who will “stage strike” first (play rock-paper-scissors or flip a coin)
3) Stage striking — out of the 5 “starter” stages, the first player strikes 1 stage, the 2nd player strikes 2 stages, and then the first player strikes 1 more stage; the last stage standing will be where you play. So the striking order is 1-2-1.
4) After the match is played, the winner chooses 1 stage to strike out of all the “starter” and “counter” stages. The loser then chooses a stage out of the remaining stages*
5) After a stage is chosen, the winner of the last match chooses his/her character first, then the loser chooses their character.
6) After this match is played and if there are matches remaining in this set, then repeat steps 4-6
*Also banning Battlefield, means banning Dreamland!*

Starter Stages:
Battlefield
Final Destination
Smashville
Town and City
Lylat Cruise

Counterpick Stages:
Dreamland

Other Rules:

1. Dave’s Stupid Rule: You cannot counterpick a stage you already won on during a set. Unless both players agree to the stage pick (see rule 4)

2. Mii fighters are allowed but must use the default 1111 set

3. For the first round of a set, a player may opt for a double blind pick. (See Stage Striking Rules for details).

4. Any stage can be played on provided both players agree to it.

5. All DLC characters are legal.

6. Pausing during a match is not allowed. The player that initiated the pause is subject to losing a stock provided their opponent cares enough to bring the rule up.
