Any ''Smash'' region with a serious competitive scene can have a region article on the wiki. However, each region article encompasses a different area depending on how it is often split up in by the community. For example, the United States itself is split up into many different regions due to the country's geographic size leading to different communities. Conversely, most US states do not have their own region page due to being part of a greater ''Smash'' region, such as Connecticut's scene often crossing over with the rest of [[New England]].

It is customary to follow how reliable sources such as [[LumiRank]] split regions. However, this does not have to be strictly followed, especially if players choose to identify their own regions differently.

Each player should have their state/province (assuming the region itself is not said state/region), games they were ranked in, characters, and highest placement on rankings listed. Additional notes may also be listed, indicating notable tags, other locations they resided in when they were ranked, and whether the player is banned. Characters should only be characters that a player mains or is a prominent secondary; as a rule of thumb, characters that are not in or removed from the respective Smasher's infobox or should not be included. Players who were ranked in multiple games can have additional sections in the table, however they must be grouped together under the same Smasher. Finally, tables should be listed in alphabetical order.

===Tournaments===
This section lists a region's tournament series, tournaments, and their top 10 largest singles events.
Only tournament series that have attracted attendance from outside the local community can be listed in the section. In addition, the section should include a series' state/province (assuming the region itself is not said state/region), games that had been or are main events, its type, and whether it is ongoing or discontinued. For main events, the only acceptable parameters are weekly/biweekly/monthly/bimonthly/annual, while series with inconsistent scheduling should be marked with "unscheduled". Tournaments may have multiple types depending on whether its schedule changes.

For tournaments themselves, only tournaments that have at least one event at a superregional level or above should be listed.

Similar to the rules for Smashers, small locals or tournaments that do not fall under the criteria will not be included unless a region has a lack of superregional events.
