Rules

Qualifying Rounds:

Players take their seats. The rule set should be preselected and 3v3 should have already been chosen. (A player is able to select these controls without affecting the battle if players are confused)

Contestants then select their 3 characters: And then choose Ready to Fight

The 2 stages are already chosen at random: Each stage has the exact same layout other than music and artwork.

Players then choose the order in which they want their characters to fight. In secret to their opponent.

Once selected it shows the decisions made, and pressing A will start the fight.

Once a contestant has lost all 3 of their characters that player loses.

This will be BEST OF 3 (time limit: 6 minutes)

The top players will then go through to a semi-final \ finals session on Saturday.
