Counterpick Stages (Doubles) None Match Procedure The following steps outline the process of playing a Match. Players select their characters. Either Player may invoke Double Blind Character Selection (as defined in Section 1.1.5). Players may not use the Name Entry glitch to play as any other characters than those regularly selectable from the Character Select Screen. Decide stage strike order / port selection. Use Stage Striking to determine the first stage. The Players play the first Game of the Match. Winning Player of the preceding Game bans a stage (bo3 sets only).

The losing Player of the preceding Game picks a stage for the next Game.

The winning Player of the preceding Game may choose to change characters.

The losing Player of the preceding Game may choose to change characters. The next Game is played. Repeat steps 4 through 9 for all subsequent Games until the Match is complete.

This must be requested before both players have plugged in their controllers and selected characters. In this situation, a Tournament Organizer ("TO") or pool captain will be told, in secret, each of the Players' choices for the first Game.

If Players do not mutually agree on their preference, they must play a Best-of-One Match of Rock Paper Scissors.

"Stage Striking" proceeds as follows: The Player with first strike strikes one stage from the starter list, followed by the other Player striking two stages, followed by the Player with first strike striking one more stage. The remaining stage from the Starter list is used for the first Game.

The banned stage cannot be selected by the opponent for the next Game.

In a best-of-5 match: There are no stage bans.
