===Stage Striking===
===Stage Striking===
After each game, the player who lost that game will pick the stage that will be played on the next game. Before that, the winning player is typically allowed to bar up to two stages from selection. Most incarnations of this rule allow the winning player to strike any stage on the stage list, though sometimes an additional restriction is placed where the winning player can only strike stages they have not counterpicked to or won on in the set. The winning player can also decided to not strike any stages if they desire. This rule exists to mitigate the inherent imbalance of stage selection, as the losing player can set themselves up for a more favorable outcome, while the winning player still has some agency as to not simply give the opponent the sizeable advantage stage selection provides.

===Double Blind clause===
Before a game starts, a player can request a double blind selection. Both players must privately disclose their character and stage selection to a third party, usually the referee, and they will make the selection for the players. The players are not allowed to change their selections after this point. This method exists to prevent players from changing their selection at the last second to counterpick their opponent in what some consider an underhanded and unfair fashion, thus preventing disputes that could slow down the tournament.
