Banned stage

Banned stages are stages that are banned from most main-stream tournaments. These stages can be banned for several reasons, including:
 * Providing an unfair advantage for certain characters (such as excessive camping)
 * Allowing players to abuse glitches in the game
 * Completely re-vamping the strategies needed to win (such as Temple and Icicle Mountain)
 * Having a significant amount of slow-down during a match

In the current Smash Back Room rule set, certain stages are left up to the tournament organizer to decide on banning versus counter-pick. Stages marked with a single X are left up to the tournament organizer, whereas those marked with XX are always banned.
