- Reformulation de phrases techniquement correctes, mais mieux écrites dans le ruleset Smashboards http://smashboards.com/rulesets/melee/
- Enlevé les espaces avant les ":" et le "!" dans l'ensemble du texte
J'ai mis l'essentiel en rouge, mais il y a des endroits non marqués (ex. un mot enlevé).
Pour la set procedure, je trouve celle des règles Smashboards bien écrite, et c'est la même que pour les règles LFM, me semble-t-il. On ne ferait pas mieux de copier ça dans la version anglaise ? Ça permettrait aussi aux étrangers de reconnaître facilement que les règles sont les mêmes.
Aussi, question : "We only play on 4/3 CRT since there is no lag. Flatscreen TVs with lag are forbidden." => quid des BenQ ?

2-player tie, only the results between the two of them will be considered. In case of a tie between 3 players, they play their matches again.

with a loser bracket compatible with Challonge). It is divided in 2 parts : The winner and loser bracket.

A second loss will cause a definitive elimination from the tournament. The Grand Finals opposes the winner of the winner bracket and the winner of the loser bracket. If this last one takes the first set, a second set is played. The number of players must be a power of 2 (8, 16, 32, 64, ...). If not, it is possible to complete this power of 2 with fictive
players called « Bye », who will lose all their matches.
