1st Match starts at Club Murder. Loser picks the next stage.

Modified Dave's Stupid Rule is in effect, players may not pick a stage they've won on previously in the set

After a match the loser may elect to pick first, the winner is character locked if the character they played the previous match is available

Before a set players may request a coin toss or rock paper scissors for first pick, if no request is made characters are picked as normal

Clarification on touch of death: all other wall interactions are legal, only deliberately ending a string so your opponent comes off the wall standing in a stunned state is illegal. If your opponent is knocked to the floor by a combo ender, or falling out of the combo and is stunned, this is not touch of death, additionally, if your opponent is reset off the wall by being struck before a wallstick takes place and has control of their character, this is not touch of death and are legal interactions using the wall
