stage strikes & port selection

players either get to select a controller port first or strike a stage first. if players do not mutually agree on their port preference, do a best of 1 rock paper scissors match (referred to just as "rps" here out) to determine ports.
“stage striking” is defined as removing stages from the starter list to decide the stage for the first game.

• players may rps to determine who strikes first
• first player bans one stage, the second player bans two stages, the first player bans one more stage, and the remaining stage is played on

stage bans

1 ban after game wins during best of 3 sets
there are no bans after game wins during best of 3 sets

stage clause / dave's stupid rule (dsr)

players may not pick any stage they previously won a game on during a set
gentlemen's / mutual agreement

• Players may select any stage from either the starter or counterpick lists if they both agree to it, but only the starter and counterpick stages
• players may also ignore dsr if they both agree

set length

all sets are best of 3 until the following are best of 5:
singles: top 32 (for halloween inyim)
doubles: top 5 (for halloween inyim)

wobbling is banned in singles

a player is considered to be wobbling if the following conditions are met:

• player grabs their opponent with the player-controlled ice climber
• the cpu-controlled ice climber has not been KO’d
• during the grab, the opponent is plausibly locked in continuous hitstun by a series of attacks including at least 4 pummels

freeze glitch

activating the “freeze glitch” with ice climbers is not allowed
penalties may or may not be enforced at the sole discretion of organizers

stalling / infinities

stalling ( excessively delaying the game or match ) may result in a game or match forfeit at the sole discretion of organizers
continuing infinite combos past 300% is stalling

sudden death

if a game goes to sudden death, the winner is determined by stocks and percentage at the time the game ends when the timer hits 0:00
the player with the higher stock count is the winner
if both Players are tied in stocks, the player with the lower percentage is the winner
in the event of a percentage tie or a game in which both players lose their last stock simultaneously, both players will receive a game win
in the above scenario, if the set was tied (1-1 or 2-2) a tiebreaker will be played on the same stage for 1 stock and 2 minutes
if the 1 stock 2 minute tiebreaker game ALSO goes to sudden death, play it out and the results of sudden death will be counted

match disruptions

if a player either intentionally or accidentally pauses the game by either pressing the start button or unplugging their own or their opponent’s controller, the player who paused forfeits a stock
organizers may approve a game restart due to exceptional circumstances, such as a power outage

misinterpretation / misconfiguration

if a game was played under a misconfiguration of the settings listed above, a player may petition an organizer or pool captain to have the game replayed
the final decision is at the discretion of organizer or pool captain
this must be done immediately after the game in question!

• after the next game is started, the previous game shall not be replayed regardless of whether the rules were set correctly

miscellaneous

any other rules not mentioned here, like the typical match Pprocedure, are addressed in the melee recommended ruleset
we'll refer to said ruleset if we don’t remember how something is usually handled off the top of our heads
