Smash NSE Spring

How 3v3 Teams works

Players from the opposing teams then take turns fighting in 1v1 matches, with the winner of a match carrying their remaining stock(s) to face the next member of the opposing team. Stocks lost by the victorious player in a previous match are subtracted from the player's stocks by self-destructing at the beginning of the next match. For example, if Player A defeated the other team's Player B with two stocks remaining, they would need to SD until only two stocks remained for the next match against Player C, who starts with full stocks. This continues until one team runs completely out of stocks, in which case the other team is the victor.

Match procedure:

1. Each team designates first player
2. Team 1 bans three stages
3. Team 2 picks two of the remaining stages
   
4. Team 1 picks one of the two stages to play on
   
5. Each player then blind picks character for first stage
6. The players play the first game of the set
7. The winning player is character locked and must stay the same character as their previous games
8. Losing team selects new player and character to play for next game
   
9. Winning player of the previous game bans three stages
10. The new player picks a stage for the next game
11. The next game is played
12. Repeat stage 6-11 until all players on a team are eliminated
