Rules

3 stock
8 minute stock timer
Items are banned. Set them to off and none.
Set customizations to off
The first character selection is a blind pick (both players should select a character at the same time)
The first stage selection will be a random omega
Dave's Stupid Rule applied: you cannot counter-pick a stage you have already won on during the current set. However, if the same omega appears when choosing random omega, that is acceptable.
After the completion of the first game:
1. The loser picks the stage out of the following:
  
  -Battlefield, Random Omega, or any Omega you choose, including Final Destination
2. The winner can change characters if desired. The winner must tell the loser what character he/she will be.
3. The loser can change characters if desired. It is not required for the loser to tell the winner what character he/she will be.
4. Both players must pick the same stage as agreed above
In the case of a time-out, the player with more stocks wins. If stocks are the same, then the player with less % wins. If % is the same, then a 1 stock, 3 minute game is played with the same characters and stage as a tie breaker.
If you get Falcon Punched, you must do 10 push-ups at the end of the game.

Other Points

The winner must post the results in the tournament thread

-By default, the poster is assumed right, but the opponent has 24 hours to confirm or object
One of the TOs will update the Challonge bracket
If an opponent does not respond for setting up a time for the match for 36 hours, contact one of the TOs. We will attempt to contact the player too; if the player does not respond for another 24 hours, you will win the match by default.
It is advised to save matches, so in the case of a disagreement, the replays can be reviewed. The full length of the matches (which should be a maximum of 8 minutes) can now be saved. It should be possible to upload the matches from an SD card to a PC, and then send the matches as attachments to the TOs.
Do not overly ledge-stall to run out the timer. If you think your opponent might be doing this, send the replay to the TOs.
If a player is caught cheating or breaking the rules in the winners bracket, he/she will be sent to the losers bracket. If a player is caught cheating or breaking the rules in the losers bracket, he/she will be disqualified.
Cheating qualifies as, but is not limited to:

-"Convincing" the other player in any way to let you win
-Letting someone else play for you
-Glitching the game so it becomes unplayable

Have fun and good luck to everyone!
