Brawl Minus Ruleset

• 1v1 Tournament, Must be the latest Brawl Minus Build (Please try to Update the day of the event before playing to ensure you have the latest Netplay build. You must have at least Brawl Minus 5.0.5 to do this, if not please download that version.)
• Items are set to Off and None.
• Stock and Time are set to 4 stock and 8 minutes respectively.
• When Bo5 starts will be determined kind of on the spot based on how many entrants there are. as a general rule while our entrant numbers are still low, expect top 3 to be where Bo5 starts
• Blatant stalling is not allowed, and what is stalling is up to the TO. If offstream, explain the situation as best you can.
• Suicide Rule: If a match ends by both remaining players losing their last stock at the same time due to a suicide move (EX: Flame Choke, Galactic Crusher), the results screen determines the winner. If both players die at the same time, replay that match with one life and 3 minutes of time, using the same characters on the same stage. Any Sudden Death match is strictly not to be played. If both players die to a suicide move in the 1 stock rematch, then the initiator loses.
• Blind Picks: The first character selection of a set must be without prior knowledge of the opponent's character selection for both players. This is usually done by both people DMing a 3rd party, such as a TO.
• Dave's Stupid Rule: You may not counterpick to any stage you won on. It is up to players to enforce DSR, if there is an issue you may reach out to a TO.
• You have a maximum time of 5 minutes between rounds to make a decision. After this time has passed, the other player may reach out to a TO or if on stream, a judge's call will be made.
• Gentleman's clause: Any stage may be played on so long as both players agree to it, limited to legal stages
• Pausing: Pause should be turned off. However, if the game is paused, the pauser shall lose a stock no matter the game state unless the other player allows them to keep it.
• Timed out matches will be determined by the remaining number of lives, then percentage of the current stock. In the event of a percentage tie, replay that match with one life and 3 minutes of time, using the same characters on the same stage. Any Sudden Death match is strictly not to be played.
• Character Bug Clause: Due to improper loading or crashes, characters loaded into a match in specific orders may require a restart of the game. Impacted scenarios listed below. Ask a TO for further clarification.
  -A player facing a Pichu switches from Pikachu to another character while Pikachu was used against Pichu the previous game.

Stage Rules

• Order of events for a set Round 1: Both players blind pick their characters. Then, each player strikes 2 stages, and the last stage remaining is chosen. The strike order is 1-2-2-1. To determine strike order, use a single Game & Watch Judgement (side special). Higher number chooses to strike first or second. Round 2 (and onwards): Counterpick stages can now be selected.  BEFORE stage selection, the winner of the previous game selects their character, then the loser selects their character. Then, the Winner of the last round bans stages (3 bans in a bo3, 2 in a bo5), and the loser of the last round can choose any remaining stage to play the next match on.

Netplay Specific Rules

• Limit one person to one computer (If two people would be using the same computer, only one of them is allowed to play)
• Technical problems: If someone is having technical problems (lag, desyncing, updates, etc.) they will be given a 15 minute timer to fix issues. After that, if the match cannot be played out, the player with issues will be DQed. This will only be allowed once per set, and 3 times per tournament as a whole. We understand things happen, as this is an online event, but we must move things along.
• Players must have their Discord nickname or username be the same as the name in the bracket. If it is discovered that no names match, your Discord nickname will be changed for the event.
