I'm still trying to decide if I want to require you to claim characters in signups or not.

I say no
also smash without items is boring

So, I mentioned this once already, but what do y'all think of the rulesets being up to the individual matches?

No
Use a set rule set that uses all items except fake smash ball and is 3 stock

IMO option 2 would be better as a set monthly thing (maybe with different rules each time.) If this is less than every month however, option 1 is probably the way to go as it allows more flexibility for people’s schedules.

if you wanted to be really nerdy I'd say make a series of polls with each item and any item that gets more than 5 votes is banned
Items in any sort of tournament is just a bad idea, especially since this is all online, and that’s gonna make any lag issues even worse.

Even from a casual aspect, there's going to be some things you would want to limit just to make the online tolerable (banning either super large stages or tour/transforming stages). I would personally do a redo of the poll and offer more options. That's one of the reasons why I haven't voted because I'm not in support of single elimination and the second option is only doable if everyone accommodates their schedule.
This is the first time I've ever really been in charge of something like this, and I'm planning to do this for a while. It's gonna be a learning process to see what works and doesn't work. Right now, I'm thinking single elimination unless we get about 10 or more people, in which case I'll assign doubles.

How I see it, for how small the forum community is, unless there was 100+ people signing up, double elimination is fine as it wouldn't take as much time and TO'ing much like Term's Pokémon tournaments. Matches are super quick and don't take a lot of time to go through, especially if it's 4-20 people.
Also I will be gone from very early on the 3rd to who knows when on the 10th so if you are starting sign ups on Wednesday how long does that go on for?
Signups are gonna last a week.

How many characters should we have picked?

Based on tournament experience, it's either no limit or if there is a limit like proposed earlier in the thread about 4-5 as potential options. Chances are though that if you are playing in tournament, most players tend to go 1-2 characters they are at least tolerable with.
Also as a reminder, if stage choice is to be decided by players, there should be a stage choice limit to what is legal, otherwise the potential of an infinite "No I don't want to play on that stage" will occur.
