1v1 Tournament, Brawl Minus 4.2-0104 (This can be verified on the main menu)
Items are set to Off and None.
Stock and Time are set to 4 stock and 8 minutes respectively.
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.
Modified Dave's Stupid Rule: You may not counterpick to the last stage you won on.
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.
MAX Aura is banned. Any activation of MAX aura will result in the activator losing a stock, much like a pause.
Sadly as some characters do not work if both are in a match, if both players want to play both (i.e. Player 1 picks Mewtwo, Player 2 picks Lucario), then there must be an agreement between players on who gets what. This can be done either through "no one gets either", or another G&W judge roll. This does not apply for counter picks, you cannot counterpick a Lucario with Mewtwo, for example. If one has already been played, it effectively bans the other for the rest of the set. Starting with Tier Shifters 4, another limitation is being brough to this. If you win the character roll, you are permanently locked to that character for the entire set. (For example. A lucario player and a mewtwo player g&w roll, mewtwo player wins, lucaio player must choose any other character, mewtwo must stay on mewtwo for the rest of the set)
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 (2 bans), 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.
