A '''setup''' refers to a "station" that can allow two or more players to play a game, especially within [[tournament]]s. At its core, a setup requires a console and a television set on which to display the game. The specifics for each game, however, can change what may be required for a setup. At most tournaments, [[TO]]s will give an incentive for contestants to bring in setups, often by offering a discount to the venue fee or sometimes waiving it entirely. | A '''setup''' refers to a "station" that can allow two or more players to play a game, especially within [[tournament]]s.

In a majority of tournaments, both players sit side-by-side, sharing the same television set; some tournaments, however, may use more sophisticated setups where all players have their own screen. | In a majority of tournaments, both players sit side-by-side, sharing the same television set; some tournaments, however, may use more sophisticated setups where all players have their own screen. | ||

While all the games can be [[hack]]ed or [[mod]]ded to some degree, any hacks that modify the gameplay of the base game are not allowed, as they can create discrepancies in how players play the games. Although a number of gameplay hacks may be considered beneficial, such as those that remove [[tripping]] in ''Brawl'', the logistics issues that arise from necessitating all setups to use the same hacks makes such tournaments infeasible to run. Exceptions are made for tournaments based around gameplay mods, such as ''Project M''. Mods that only modify the appearance or music of the game are considered acceptable, provided such modifications are not considered distracting to players | While all the games can be [[hack]]ed or [[mod]]ded to some degree, any hacks that modify the gameplay of the base game are not allowed, as they can create discrepancies in how players play the games.

''Smash 64'' tournaments may require an external clock or stopwatch to be present alongside a setup, as ''Smash 64'' cannot allow for a [[time]] limit on stock matches. The external clock allows TOs to gauge when the match ends in the event of a time over. | ''Smash 64'' tournaments may require an external clock or stopwatch to be present alongside a setup, as ''Smash 64'' cannot allow for a [[time]] limit on stock matches.

No specific requirements beyond a television and a console are required for setups involving ''Melee''.
