Rules:

• Use an unmodified version of LF2 v2.0(a)
  
• The winner of a pairing is decided by "Best of Five": 5 matches are fought, the one that has more wins succeeds. Semifinals and Bronze match are "Best of Seven". Finals are "Best of Nine".
  
• As proof, all matches are to be recorded and posted, for example on http://lf2replays.appspot.com/ with a link to the replays in a post here.
  
• Participants may also pick any character, except: Julian, Firzen and Louis Ex
  (If lf2.net is used to pick a non-standard character, use lf2.net again to deactivate the cheat)
  
• For each match, you must pick a different character! The first match will be Random. The second match, the winner picks first and the loser gets to counter pick. And so on.
  
• The default background is HK Coliseum. If both opponents agree, a different background may be chosen.
  
• Breaking any of the following rules means losing the fight to his rival, in which the violation occurred, unless a rival decides otherwise:
  • Usage of the Function-keys is prohibited (ie. F6, F7, F8, F9). The same applies for entering the cheat (lf2.net) which would allow a transformation of Louis to Louis EX at full HP.
    
  • Using the F1 key (pause) during an attack is prohibited.
    
  • Drinking milk and beer is prohibited.
    
  • Combos where a player can juggle his opponent using the same move against a wall over and over again is prohibited.
    
  • Prolonging the DoP (dance of pain, stunned state where the enemy is unable to move) for more than 1 attack is prohibited.
    
  • Attack limits per fight:
    • Henry: Sonata of the Death (D ^ J) is prohibited.
      
• Transformation of Louis into Louis EX is allowed.
  
• When a participant gives up, his opponent will automatically be the winner of that duel.
  
• Each round has a 5 days period to take place, but can be extended on prior demand due to foreseen circumstances. If two opponents do not fight each other (due to organizational problems), a winner will be chosen by me, depending on who is the most active around here during that time period. If the problem is related with Internet connection, the one with worse connection is taken out.
  
• If someone crashes during a fight, that person will automatically lose, unless his opponent decides otherwise.
  

The joining-phase ends on Sunday, July 31^th GMT!!
(there may be some hours tolerance until next day)

Good luck to all participants

I'll got ahead and state my prediction:
Kevin wins.

Haha my bet would be losing in the first round xD . Literally. Although I don't know my opponent. But I'll do my best. But really, I have to install GG chat messenger? >__> . I'm trying to tell him to use LFE's IRC chat. But not much time either until round 1 finishes.

You will have to upload the recordings somewhere, for example at: http://lf2replays.appspot.com/

I'll have to check them to see if everything is according to the rules.

Sir, How can I participate in Tournament. I have LF2 Lobby.

[STM1993]

Sir, How can I participate in Tournament. I have LF2 Lobby.    

You missed the signup date on 31 July, so...

That said, you can lurk around #lfe. We sometimes have spontaneous non-tournament fights or even survival in there, mostly in the period between 16:00-00:00 for your GMT+5 time since majority of the players are from Europe.

[Rhino.Freak]

Good luck people! :P
