Dave's Stupid Rule: Difference between revisions
→Variations: Sure, let's go with that. Mostly painless graft, some wording needed to be changed.

Amid the criticism of Modified DSR, the German ''Smash'' community elected to modify Dave's Stupid Rule again to rectify the perceived flaws of the previous ruling. Jockingly called "Tero's Smart Rule" after tournament organiser {{Sm|Tero}} and later renamed the "Stage Dismissal Rule" (SDR) as a visual pun on DSR, the ruling states that players cannot pick a counterpick stage again if they have previously won on it. Initially obscure, the rule was given greater exposure after top professional smashers {{Sm|Scar}} and {{Sm|Armada}} praised it in a [[Melee It On Me]] podcast; it is now commonplace within the European ''Smash'' scene. | Amid the criticism of Modified DSR, the German ''Smash'' community elected to modify Dave's Stupid Rule again to rectify the perceived flaws of the previous ruling.

===Gentleman's Rule=== | |||
The Gentleman's Rule, sometimes called the Gentleman's Clause, is an addition to Dave's Stupid Rule used in some tournaments; according to the rule, any stage can be played on, provided all players consent to the stage's use. Assuming this is the case, Dave's Stupid Rule is ignored, potentially allowing for players to use counterpick stages that they have already used, as well as allowing for players to use stages that are [[banned stage|generally banned in tournaments]]; the Gentleman's Rule can also be invoked to skip the process of stage striking. The rule is commonly invoked in cases of [[sandbagging]], where higher-skilled players might allow their opponent to choose whatever stage they desire; Mew2King is particularly well-known for this in his sandbagging matches. | |||
