Tournament Rules
Stage picks and counterpicks can be found in the graphic above. Stage selection will be handled through Smash.gg.
Multi-tourneying (The act of participating in multiple brackets at once) is strictly banned. Any player caught holding up bracket for the sake of playing in a different tournament will receive and automatic DQ.
While a LAN connection is not required for this tournament, it is strongly reccomended to ensure the smoothest play. In the event of a lagtest, TO's will make use of speedtest.net. Any upload speed below 10 mbs and/or a ping above 30 is grounds for a DQ, in the event that both players pass this test the TO may do a manual lag check, or the set will continue on. Sadly, with how Ultimate Online is setup, even with good internet players may still experience fluctuations in game stability. Nobody is to blame for this and we ask that you do not get frustrated with your opponents or your TO.
During pools, Winners side will have a 10 minute DQ timer for the first round while all subsequent rounds (until top 384) will have 5 minute timers, this includes all of Loser's Bracket.
All games will be BO3 until Top 64 (Winners side will be BO3 until Top 16), after that it will be BO5

In the event of a timeout, the results of "Sudden Death" do not matter. When the 7 minute timer runs out, whichever player has more stocks is the winner. Should both players have the same amount of stocks, whoever has the lower percent will be declared the winner. In the unlikely event that both players have identical percents, or players can not agree on the winner and can not provide evidence, a 1 stock game with a 3 minute timer will be carried out.
