Redundancy Rule

A player cannot counterpick to the last stage they won on during the set.

Play a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors to determine who bans the first stage for game 1.
Only starter stages may be selected for game 1.
The winner bans the first stage from the starter stage list, the loser bans 2 starter stages, and the winner selects from the remaining available stages.

After game 1, counterpick stages are added to the stagelist.

After each game, the winner of the previous game states if they will change their character.
The loser then states if they will change their character.

The winner bans 1 stage from the full stagelist, and the loser selects a stage from the remaining available stages.

There are no bans in Best of 5 sets.
