- Usually, sets between players are played best 2 out of 3 matches (using 3 out of 5 or 4 out of 7 for final rounds).
- Double Elimination.
- 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:
-
- Players are given the option to “strike” stages from the random select.
- 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:
-
-
- 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.

In order to prevent degenerate gameplay techniques, many tournaments ban certain exploitations of the game that give one character an unintended and unfair advantage over others.
-
- Banned Stalling Techniques
-
-
- N.B. The rising pound and Peach Bomber on the wall are only banned if they are being use to stall. Using them to recover is acceptable.
