The 2019 Super Smash Bros. Tournament is a double-elimination knockout tournament amongst the 12 characters in the Nintendo 64 classic, Super Smash Bros. All games will be played by Scott Hug when he has free time. The tournament will occur in May and June 2019.

Format
Unlike past editions of this tournament, there will be no group stage. However, the knockout stage will be increased to double elimination to keep the total number of games about the same.

Each match will consist of two 4-minute games. During the first game, one player will be controled by Scott and the other by a level-6 computer. THe roles will switch for the second game. The venue is the same for both games and will be randomly selected before the first game. Each player scores a point every time the opponent dies, whether the player has a direct role of killing the opponent or not is irrelevant. The player with the most total points after the two matches is declared the winner.

If the total points are level, the player who scored more points during their turn as the computer (i.e. whichever player Scott dies as less) will be declared the winner. If this total is also level, a "fastest kill" will ensue.

At the same venue, Scott will represent player 1 and the computer will represent player 2. The game continues until player 2 dies by any means, even if player 1 has died once or more. Then, the roles are switched. After these matches are complete, the player that Scott dies as less will win. If Scott dies as both players the same number of times, then the player that Scott uses to kill its opponent more quickly is declared the winner. If this is still tied, then another "fastest kill" will ensue using the same set of rules. This process is continued until a winner is declared.

Bracket
All seeding is random. In each round, Scott plays as the top player first.
