On April 17, 2009, the Smash Back Room released the second set of de facto official rules for tournaments. These mostly mirrored the rulesets of previous installments, with the stages being the most anticipated factor.
General Rules
- 3 stock.
- 8 minutes.
- Items are turned to off and none.
- In doubles matches, team attack is on.
- All non-finals and semi-finals matches are best of three.
- Finals and semi-finals are best of five.
- Controller ports are determined by Rock-Paper-Scissors if there is a dispute.
- In team matches, these are determined in a 1221 fashion, with 1 being the team that won the RPS.
- If time runs out, the winner is determined by stock, and then by percent.
- All persons are responsible for their own control scheme and must make sure it is set before the match begins.
- Any action that prevents the game from continuing results in a forfeiture of the match for the offender.
Stages
For an explanation as to why stages are counter-picked or banned, see Banned stage
Stages are divided up into neutral, counter-pick, and banned. Neutral stages are the only stages that are used in the first game of a match. After that, the loser may pick any stage, neutral or counter-pick, that is not banned. Additionally, each player may announce a single stage each match that s/he wants banned from the counter-pick list. The stages that are in the "Neutral/Counter-Pick" or "Counter-Pick/Banned" category are left to the tournament organizers to determine their actual placement in any specific tournament.
