This is the next upcoming tournament. It will take place at the end of January/beginning of February, registrations can be open now. December 21st is the official Winter start date, but that's awfully soon to have a tournament. The next few may seem a little cluttered together, but once we get a larger number of participants we'll be able to get them accurately going with each season's start. Anyway. Registrations will close 2 weeks before February 1st. The tournament will not last longer than 1 week, things need to be wrapped up in a timely manner before people lose interest. Let's face it, every one of us logs on chat each day, so there's no reason that in 1 day we can't already have our fight for the day done. I will not be around for this tournament so I'm appointing the overseers as Draoiheil, Prettz, and Violet. I will try to remain in contact with at least one of them while I'm locked up by snail mail / phone if anything.
So after a lot of digging, I finally found an archive of the old rules from the website I designed for the original XFL. This is from before Refuge was a chat, before MySpace existed, before RealChat came around any of that shit. This is how shit was back in the day and this is what every tournament will use. You can find that list here: Legit T2.
These rules apply for all styles, except S Styles which are all royal & all S[x] where x is the same number for everything. Including AAA, counters, and all of that. S Styles do not allow for outrange+prep, or in range+prep. The reason why S styles are not included is because this is from so long ago that Derek "The Southern Wind" had not brought them around yet.
The official tournament ruleset can be found here: Official Tourney Ruleset. All the seasonal tournaments from here on out will use these rules.
You may sign up now.
Registration form is as follows; Commonly used chat name'(s): Bracket'(s) entering: Preferred style:
The short bracket will include: T2, RT2, PT2, H4, RH4, T2A, RT2A, and S15.
The long bracket will include: S20, MT2, RMT2, S30, MT2A, and RMT2A.
Xattech: ..I'm not sure what to do with you guys just yet. You are allowed to enter something will be worked out.
Fighters may participate in both. Registrations will end 2 weeks before February 1st & Match-ups will start on February 1st.
Special thanks for these tournaments go to Draoiheil, Lysander, Ukyo and Violet for their collaboration in creating the rulesets for each to take place.

I found it about 2 nights ago, I've been looking for it since I came back around through every web archiving service I could find. None of them had it, until I found this one geocities.ws but it doesn't have a copy of the PT2 web page which was on projekt_evol nor xiled_legacy. On another note: People still go to Chars chat 3, me Prettz and Rias were hanging out in there with like 4 people who go there every single day.

I've entered your names in the tournament. Be sure to let all the fighters you know about it so we can have a nice turn out.

Why don't you fight, Inunoku? I haven't ever seen, or heard about you fighting.
Edit: I DON'T APPRECIATE YOU TAKING MY KARMA DOWN EITHER.

I was informed Amicus was joining this tournament. Though it'll be a while before it's fully underway. The rulings are already established for the most part, but they could be changed if found necessary. I'll be doing the best that -I- can to amass every known fighter to my recollection, people of both old and new.
Specifically I'd like to try to get figures like Jonny/Vine into this, intensive roleplayers needless to say. To possibly integrate those caliber of fighter/performers will only influence others around them to enact their way of writing. I wouldn't recommend strict mimicry of those around you, but it'd be nice for a change to see new development in our minuscule pool of warriors.
Though I wasn't a participant myself in this past tournament, I can't ignore how much hype it generated -- it's impressive. This only signifies it's more than possible to construct a larger tournament, with a BIGGER roster of people, since the other one fell short of notice for some people.
You have time now people, it's been sought, and now it is to your advantage. This is going to become seasonal, which only makes it more perfect for you to have more chances to shine throughout the whole year.
I have full confidence in my mind that everyone here, and in XAT - CAN and will turn this into something glorious and worthwhile as both an entertaining hobby and a competition.
You all know me primarily as Violet, and not by my other identity, Vile. I'll be your host alongside Draoiheil, Prettz (if he cares to be involved for more than 2 seconds), and whoever else is willing to help me run this Winter Wasteland Tournament this year.
You can contact me at Violetxxdeponty@live.com if you have any questions, and/or would simply like to converse.

The rare times I do, its just for fun against noobs on Xat. I do a Xatech T1 para fighting most of the time, which is what I am prevalent in on my home world. Also Forum T1 =/= Xatech T1 Since both have clear distinctions, which I shall gladly mention in a thread if anyone cares to know the differences.

If this tournament allows Xat styles, allow it to be in its own category, so there is no confusion among the fighters if someone enters just to fight in Xat styles.
Since it is technically Hybrid with a little more structure, it would be between T1 and T2.
Long story short: I would join this tournament for Xat styles, easily. Since this is a primarily T2 based site, we can add a 1-2 hit rule before you can kill your opponent or TKO him.

The general consensus for the people running the tournament seems to be for Xat fighters to fight Eden's Era. Not to create a middleground style, as it will only cause more problems.
I myself would like Xat fighters to join, but I can't force you guys to learn a style. So hopefully a few of you will at least be willing if anything just to participate in the tournament festivities.
