COLD❄BLOOD/Competitive Play

COLD❄BLOOD has had a somewhat popular competitive scene since the game's release in 2021, having built a respectable community since over time. It's been long recognized for its customizable rulesets, switchable mechanics, decently-sized roster, and unique perks, giving COLD❄BLOOD's competitive scene the tools it needs to build and expand.
Tournament sets usually progress in the following manner:
#The double elimination bracket is present at most COLD❄BLOOD tournaments.
#Tournament organizer chooses player priority; generally first player to arrive receives priority.
#Both characters/teams select their characters, possibly double-blindly for the first match.
#The first stage is then selected from the list of neutral stages by the priority player.
#The first match is then played.
#The loser of the first match chooses a stage from either the neutral or counterpick lists.
#The loser then picks their character first for the second match.
#The next match is played.
#If the loser loses again, the game is over and the winner moves on.
#If both players are tied, the losing player of the second match selects a neutral stage.
#Second match's loser chooses their character first for the final match.
#The winner of the third match moves on in the tournament.
#Rinse and repeat from Step 2 until the winner of the tournament has been determined.
