-- Turbo or any other programed buttons are forbidden. You are allowed to use a 3rd party controller that has these features as optional but if caught using them you will forfeit the current match and not be allowed to continue playing with that controller.
-- Glitches that result in freezing/interfearing with your opponent's character (Mewtwo's Soul Stunner, the Ice Climber freeze glitch), or any other glitch that freezes or makes the match impossible to complete are banned. Using them will result in an a immediate loss of the current match.
-- Things such as Peach's Wallbombing/Jiggly's Rising Pound/Luigi's Ladder are allowed as methods of recovery or maneuverability. Using them (or anything similair) to excessively stall a match, such as droping below the level and stalling are banned. Judges will be present at all times and will be quick to enforce this rule.
-- Players are allowed to pause mid-game under EXTREME circumstances but must notify his opponent in advance. Abusing pause will result in automatic forfeit of the match.
