Super Smash Bros Melee* (Gamecube)
Pre-Register: http://njitgc.challonge.com/HIUXMelee
Signups: 10:30am - 12:30pm Start: 2:30pm
Loser’s Bracket: Yes
Matches: Best out of 3. Best of 5 for Grand/Losers finals
Each match is played with timed stock, with 4 lives and 8 minutes.

In the case that time runs out and both characters have an equal amount of lives, the character with less damage wins the match. If both characters have equal lives and damage, the match must be replayed; Sudden Death is strictly not to be played.
Items are turned off.

The first match is played with a Random Stage.

The random select is comprised of neutral stages:
Yoshi’s Story
Fountain of Dreams
Battlefield
Final Destination
Dream Land (N64)

For the first match, characters are chosen double-blind - at the same time, so that neither player knows his opponent’s character beforehand. In practice, this rule is often ignored, but players always reserve the option to force a double-blind pick.
The loser of the first match (and of successive matches) chooses the next stage, and then the winner chooses his character, and then the loser chooses his character. This series of choices is called slob picks.

The loser can pick either a neutral stage or a counterpick stage, this list is based on MBR recommended ruleset:
Pokémon Stadium

The loser cannot pick any banned stages:
Big Blue
Brinstar
Brinstar Depths
Corneria
Flat Zone
Fourside
Great Bay
Green Greens
Icicle Mountain
Jungle Japes
Kongo Jungle
Kongo Jungle (N64)
Mushroom Kingdom
Mushroom Kingdom II
Mute City
Onett
Poké Floats
Princess Peach’s Castle
Rainbow Cruise
Temple
Venom
Yoshi’s Island (pipes)
Yoshi’s Island (N64)

The loser can also not choose any stage that has already been played earlier that round. This rule is known as “Dave’s Stupid Rule”, named after Scamp.

The winner can ban stages from the opponent’s selection, except in best-of-5 sets.
