Is there any kind of official/recommended ruleset for tournaments?
There's a local tournament close to my town, and seeing the ruleset they posted on their site I think they are not familiarized enough with the game's competitive scene.
This ruleset lists stuff like "Stage will always be random omega" and "3 stocks 5 minutes". I don't want to blame anyone nor generate any conflict and I will attend anyway, but I would like to provide them some kind of ruleset used by more experienced tournament organizers.

Ignoring stuff about map picks and bans these are the basic rules from EVO 2017:
Game Settings:
- 4 Stock
- 8 Minute Time Limit
- No Items
- Pause Disabled
- 2/3 Game
As for the maps:
- Battlefield (some tournaments allow the usage of Miiverse as an equivalent to Battlefield, while others disallow it completely)
- Final Destination,
- Most ? forms,
- Smashville,
- Town and City.
Team damage should be on if this isn't 1v1s.

With the diversity of these special moves that came with the Smash Ball, there was also an unfair advantage for certain characters.
