Talk:Tournament rulesets (SSBM)

Somebody please fact-check me on this article, because I wrote it completely from memory. Particularly, I don't remember Dave's Stupid Rule (it's the one about not using any one stage more than once in a round?), and I may be wrong in areas of the "controversy" section. --MaskedMarth 16:44, September 27, 2006 (GMT)

During the TG6 finals which is one of the only times this has come up (since it was like two sets of best of 9 or something), Dave (scamp) himself spoke up that dave's stupid rule was being implemented incorrectly. It's not supposed to disallow picking of a stage that has been picked before in the set, but instead supposed to stop a player from picking the same stage twice in a row on their turns to pick. That way they have to have at least 2 stages in which they're proficient. However, I don't think anybody listened to him, and it's difficult to phrase the rule efficiently that way. To my knowledge, the way the rule is used and enforced today is exactly like you've written it. Usea 19:49, April 6, 2007 (GMT)
