'''Dave's Stupid Rule''' is a regulation that is in effect at most [[tournament]]s. While there are minor variations of the rule, they all have the same intention: to prevent a player from having an unfair advantage by playing the same [[stage]] multiple times in a set. The rule is named after the smasher Scamp. | '''Dave's Stupid Rule''' is a regulation that is in effect at most [[tournament]]s.

At the rule's simplest level, no stage that has already been played in a set may be picked for another game in the same set. For example, a random pick chooses [[Final Destination (SSBB)|Final Destination]] for the first game of a {{SSBB|Falco}} vs. {{SSBB|Ike}} match. The Falco player loses, so they get to pick the next stage. They want to choose Final Destination again, because it's a strong stage for Falco. However, Dave's Stupid Rule states that Final Destination cannot be played again in that round, so the Falco player must pick a different stage. | At the rule's simplest level, no stage that has already been played in a set may be picked for another game in the same set.
