- Turbo or programmed buttons of any kind are banned. You may use third party controllers or pads that have these features, but if you are suspected of using the banned features you will not be allowed to use that controller any longer.

- Glitches used to stop your opponent from controlling their character or indefinitely freezing them (Mewtwo's Soul Stunner, the Ice Climber freeze glitch), or any glitch or trick that feezes the match or makes it in any way unable to be finished are banned. Using them will result in the immediate forfeit of the match.

- Tactics such as Peach's Wallbombing and Jiggly's Rising Pound are allowed as methods of recovery or to maneuver around the stage. Using them (or any similar tactics) to excessively stall a match, such as dropping below levels intentionally and stalling underneath, is banned. Judges, who will be on the tournament floor, can be called in at any time to enforce this rule during a match.

- You must BRING YOUR OWN CONTROLLER.

No games between authorized matches. DO NOT TOUCH the game settings or system hardware or you will be disqualified from the tournament.
