The following stages rarely see use in larger tournaments, but may still be found in smaller tournaments and tournaments hosted by Nintendo. These stages may also see use in competitive play via the [[Dave's_Stupid_Rule#Gentleman's_rule|Gentleman's Rule]].

==Controllers==
==Other Rules==
===Bring your own controller===
===Bring your own controller===
Players are typically expected to arrive at a tournament with a controller already secured. It should not be assumed that the tournament will provide controllers to players unless expressly outlined in the rules. This clause is sometimes acronymized as '''BYOC'''.

===Wireless controllers===
===Wireless controllers===
Using a wireless controller is typically allowed, though users are expected to keep these controllers turned off or have their batteries removed if applicable outside of designated play sessions to prevent unintentionally pairing with a console, or the controller's batteries going flat and disconnecting during play. The user of the controller is held responsible if such an occasion occurs. Some tournaments go as far as to ban wireless controllers for these same reasons.

===Controller modifications===
Any controller that has been tampered with in some way must be inspected and approved prior to use. If a controller is denied and the player cannot secure a replacement in a timely manner, the player is considered forfeit. Most modifications are allowed, with the exception of alterations that allow players to perform actions not feasible or physically possible by an average player with an unaltered controller (e.g. turbo buttons, auto-fire, SOD capabilites).
==Other Rules==
===The [[Gentleman's Rule]]===
===The [[Gentleman's Rule]]===
The most basic form of the rule dictates players may tweak the rules of their specific set if all players in the match mutually agree to it. This can manifest in players requesting to play on banned stages or changing the length or amount of matches. This does technically defeat the purpose of the competition by allowing sudden rule changes, though this is typically justified by all affected parties accepting the outcome and the tournament continuing as normal. While tournament organizers usually don't impose any restrictions on the Gentleman's Rule, they may occasionally explicitly disallow banned stages from being played on at all regardless of the rule; extending or shortening the amount of games to be played in a set is generally disallowed as well.
