==Tourney Rules==
=== The Basics===
The main rules of the tournament is that every round, multiple participants will make a custom remix of a chosen song from #song-suggestions or by a tourney judge, that song will be given to a pair of participants each and whichever participant gets the most votes in that match wins.
What song each pair receives is public knowledge and can be freely discussed at any point in the tourney. However, the remixes are presented anonymously, using code names that relate to the title (ex. the song Driftveil City from Pokemon Black & White had remixes code named Black Remix and White Remix). Participants are prohibited from giving any details that would reveal which remix belongs to them. Once the round's results are made public, participants can freely discuss their remixes.
The tournament has 2 brackets, one for winners and for losers. If someone loses a match in the Winners' Bracket, they are sent to the Losers' Bracket where they can compete against others who have also lost. If a participant loses within this bracket, they are then out of the tourney.
===Special Challenges===
In addition to the basic rules, each round has a special challenge that the participants MUST complete, otherwise their remix is disqualified. The challenges are stated at the beginning of each new round.
===Voting===
Participants can vote for each other's remixes once they are made available. Voting isn't required by participants, but it's highly encouraged they do so. 
Tourney VIPs get to anonymously submit feedback for each remix, but are otherwise the same as regular participants in terms of their voting weight and how much information they know about each remix (if participating). This feedback is shown in the results spreadsheet after every round, and are found in the comments of each remix.
The tourney VIPs include the former judges and top 4 participants of the last tourney, who are the following:
#Turtike
# MF5K
#GENERIC
#Chrislo27
#lvl100Feraligatr
#Huebird
#SentSeesTheExit
#Kievit
# Meuol
If a participant's opponent fails to submit or withdraws from the tournament, they automatically win. Their remix is added into the mix group, where other participants can listen to it and vote for their favorite extra remix. These votes don't affect anyone's standing and are just for fun.
==Rounds==
All the match-ups will be shown with a percentage on both participants to show the cumulative score of the audience votes. If a participant failed to submit, they will be marked with "F". If they withdrew from the tourney, they will be marked with "W" (those who failed to submit their first 2 rounds are assumed to have withdrawn). All participants who have won due to their opponent withdrawing or failing to submit will be labelled with "Auto".
=== Round 1===
Special Challenge: Use 1 minigame from each Rhythm Heaven game (i.e. use 1 tengoku game, 1 ds game, 1 fever game, and 1 megamix game. Games that return in megamix or in fever's extra games count for the game they originally came from, all karate man games count as tengoku.)

==Notable Incidents==
===Round 1 ===
====OMORI====
Two participants matched against each other, Dismissor and Eno, were tasked with remixing a song from OMORI, a game which they both despise and were very vocal about hating before and during the fact. To add to the humor of the situation, there was only a single vote difference between who won and lost. 
==== Crypt of the Necrodancer====
For some reason, there were a lot of songs from the game Crypt of the Necrodancer. A suspiciously high amount. Hmmm...
(As explained by the host (me hi), this was due to the plan for Round 1 to have a winter/cold theme. This was possible when fewer people had signed up, however it became far too difficult when that number rapidly grew. Many songs intended for the theme stuck around, which included all the Zone 3 Cold versions from Crypt of the Necrodancer.)
==== Honeycomb Highway - Sonic Lost World====
In this round between MilaDraws and Kaabyi1 (aka Kirby), the latter used Rockers in a way that seemed to divide the community. On one hand, many people thought it slapped, while others thought it the note-only usage of rockers was lazy and was impossible to play in-game. Despite the majority of those who spoke about Swarm Remix (Kirby's Remix) speaking negatively about it, Kirby managed to win in a 57% to 42% victory. We really need judges back, huh?
====Gunner Remix ====
Gunner Remix, made by GENERIC, was notable for being voted the best remix of Round 1. However, the remix gained additional notoriety for garnering rather provocative comments from Tourney VIPs, including, "The loud volume startled me but overall this remix made me cum." and "This remix blew my nuts off."
====Kung Fu Ball ====
Being a 2-player side game, Kung Fu Ball understandably didn't see any use in the first tournament. However, two remixes in the first round of the second tournament had extensively used this game, which was odd on its own. Additionally, both remixes received criticism for often cutting off the "Great Bird Claw Spike" cue with "Heat Fu", which is said to sound weaker as opposed to letting the "POW" for the initial cue play out- though one Tourney VIP's comments decided to phrase this as, "The custom remix equivalent of edging."
===Round 2===
====Sculpture Remix ====
In one matchup, tourney participant Dunder was working with the song Looting the Louvre - Rhythm Thief. For unknown reasons, Dunder decided to use only two games: Karate Man and Samurai Slice (Wii), with the second one being required to fulfill the challenge. As expected from a remix with a limited game selection, it was extremely repetitive with the exception of one part. During a later section of the remix, a subtle, easy-to-miss fart sound effect can be heard, which was first noted by SentSeesTheExit (Smirkhuman), another participant. Several people jokingly voted for Dunder's remix, but he ultimately lost against his opponent Slaith.
====Murder Remix???====
"Murder Remix" is the name of a non-existent remix, appearing in neither the first nor second tournament. Despite this, tourney participant Marshadow (Breadbug) listed it as the best remix of Round 2 in the voting form. This response caused a bit of confusion for Luxury, who listed the remix on the results sheet as "Murder Remix???" followed by the description, "1 vote. No really, what is murder remix?". Marshadow later clarified that they had likely mispelled "Slumber Remix".
=== Losers' Round 2===
==== Wig Heist Escapades====
Despite Drummer Duel's reputation leaning towards the negative, (all thanks to the work of one person) Toxic Remix, which used it in a way where it hit all the right places as well as fitting in with the song thematically, was critically acclaimed by many, and one very alopecic Tourney VIP was eager to claim that it "had their wig soaring into the stratosphere". Hopefully you deal with that problem soon.
====Mannequin Factory Curse Lifted(?) ====
In the Dream Table Tennis matches, the victor successfully used Mannequin Factory and won the match, debunking the rumors of a supposed "horrible, horrible, curse by a ghoul and/or goblin". Recent studies among avid Gehenna researchers have finally came to a conclusion that there wasn't really a phenomenon surrounding the endless game at all, it's just that the game is bad and no one bothers to audio mix it. The other remix was also very, very illegal.
====You Know How It Is With Spaghetti====
Losers' Round 2 also featured the first Bonus Round of the tournament, featuring the song Rooftop Run Act 1 (Classic) - Sonic Generations. The round's challenge was to only use games with an Italian language variant, with each of the remixes being code-named after pasta. There were 21 submissions, the most a bonus round has gotten in either tourney.
Some notable remixes include Mafalde Remix, which recreated the Pizza Delivery theme from Spider-Man using Glee Club.
====Professor Layton and the Diabolical Remix====
While joke submissions were accepted, which led to the creation of the admittedly amazing Malfalde remix. One certain remix made by user Eno was not permitted to submit his remix for the round on the grounds that it was "too wack". And lo and behold it was. By abusing loopholes in the challenge, Eno use a combination of voice changers, text to speech and even his own personal voice acting skills to illegally smuggle non-ds games across the Italian border to create an abomination of a remix that has been confirmed to cause over 10 people to go deaf in the span of 30 seconds.
===Round 3===
====The Host Hates Karate Man====
Luxury has admitted the challenge for Round 3, which was a convoluted mess of using audience votes to create lists to restrict game usage, was actually a plot to restrict the viability of Karate Man in that round.
====Wake-Up-Caller ====
Eventually due to meddling possibly instigated by user Golfing Monkey, who voted for Wake Up Caller in the poll as a joke, eventually got his just desserts when it appeared as a viable game. Though many people were sane enough to not actually use it seriously, (though there was a certain person, that did we will get to that later) it made its way into infamy and many remixers made jokes around it's unlikely appearance.
===Losers' Round 4===
==== GENERIC Takeover 2====
GENERIC, one of the judges in the first tournament and current participant + VIP, once again hosted a round of the tourney. Being in the Winners' Bracket, GENERIC wasn't participating in the current round and was permitted to host it, allowing them to choose the music and challenge. With sadism in mind, they chose exclusively Vocaloid tracks for the participants and put forth an intentionally convoluted challenge that required math and basic reading comprehension, a skill which many Gehenna members lack.
While the first takeover was done as a joke, this takeover was required as the host, Luxury, needed time to recover from their illness.
====BHC Meddling====
BHC's opponents had three consistent absences from the rounds prior, eventually being put in the mixed round bracket. With a massive safety net now that they have officially "won", this became ample opportunity to be as wack as possible without suffering potential consequences. While their first remix in the dreaded limbo bracket was fairly tame, BHC eventually succumbed to the insanity of isolation and loneliness. Round 3 had BHC use Wake Up Caller, which was a viable game to use in order to pass the challenge's requirements and more importantly Loser's Round 4, which had the user sneak in a bunch of bizarre and psychotic undertale references by the use of pitched games as well as use every single game in the challenge to get the most AIM points, which included games such as Charging Chicken and Wake-Up Caller. The madness had ended when they went up against somebody in Round 5.
====Localization(Localisation?) Remix====
A user tried to prove he came from the future by telling somebody that user Henk would win the bonus round via his very own remix called "Localization remix".
Among the many bonus round remixes trying to adapt to the tone of the song and the vague wording of the challenge (or people trying to be funny) inevitably arose the foretold "Localization Remix" abusing loopholes in the challenge by making their own custom vocals for fireworks. (The user has not disclosed the secret ingredients to how they made this). It eventually became the victor of the bonus round due to mixing comedy naturally with a surprisingly normal remix.
IT'S A BOMB!
===Round 4/Loser's Round 5===
====Doug Bowser Takeover====
Out of the frying pan and into the fire, as after the entire GENERIC fiasco, arose another Coup D'etat by Nintendo's of America's very own CEO, Doug Bowser, pissed off about how much Nintendo songs were being used without permission. This eventually bled into the challenge and song selection of the round where users were begrudgingly force fed Kevin Macleod songs all while having to find a way to make a custom cue that will fit within the boundaries of these royalty free music. The ones that followed through with the challenge creatively really showed and eventually went on with their lives, though the ones that didn't probably got away with it because their opponents custom cue was worse.
====Duck Remix====
Eventually, participant and former Tourney Host GENERIC stole the spotlight by not only having one, but two custom cues in their remixes. Using his pitching skills, and surprisingly novel use of the vine boom sound, (Linguine remix take notes) he eventually secured the win and the best remix poll for this round's results. He also won in the sense that he got to remix the Disco Duck song.
====Stolen Custom Cues====
On the other hand, Disco Remix's custom cue was taken from another remix (Power) that was also the current opponent they were facing, to find an easy and funny(?) way out of the challenge while trying to secure votes. It didn't work and they were chastised accordingly for their unoriginality.
====The Big-Ass Screwbot====
Self-explanatory. The real comedy comes from the loud-ass sound the robot makes when it drops.
====Sunny Remix====
Forfeiture wasn't an option huh? To make a final bang before they left the tourney to do actual productive things(?) They eventually made their own spiritual successor of Tourney 1's infamous Mario Remix. While this should be inherently funny on it's own, the actual punchline was that the match against their opponent was close, with a loss only by 3 votes meaning that either people genuinely liked Sunny Remix, or that Cloudy remix was just really ill-received. "The match really shouldn't have been this close. How scared are you right now?"
===Loser's Round 6 ===
Not much really funny or infamous in the actual round. I guess if you count drama funny....
====Crackhead====
The bonus round remixers was given the vague challenge of "don't be a crackhead" to a song that is definitely not sober. People of course flocked to the joke of those bizarre 80's drug PSA's and made for some admittedly funny results.
====Crack Remix====
Kaaby1, who was a consistent offender of his use of Rockers, in the bonus rounds eventually struck a nerve again with the general audience. Chloe decided to go in on the joke by drawing fanart of this occasion aptly titled "Crack Remix Rockers" which you can find in the pinned messages. Also that's weed not crack
====Coke Remix ====
The winner. I finally figured the joke. (In Clap Trap, you Crack the Mannequins head)
===Round 5/Loser's Round 7===
==== Unnamed VIP's Wedding Plans====
And unnamed judge commented in the results bracket on whoever they voted for to be their (X) at their wedding. With no surprise, GENERIC was the person to be courted, while other people ranged from being the best man, to the...person allowed in the pizza place where their wedding would occur. (For business transactions only. Dine-in is not available due to the current wedding reservation.)
====So where's the wedding at?====
https://www.google.com/search?q=pizza+heaven+tromso+norway&rlz=1C1VDKB_enUS985US985&oq=pizza+heaven+tromso+norway&aqs=chrome..69i57.5772j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
====Gunner Remix II====
Yet again, thanks to perks of having a remix made by the user GENERIC, many VIPS went out to say some very questionable comments regarding the remix, such as "I came. My soul left my body". and "Simply blew my nuts off into the stratosphere". Okay so it was just one person, but that's still eyebrow raising at worst.
=== Loser's Semifinals===
====Bombs?====
In the [BIG SHOT] remixes, user Freeforum decided to incorporate the usage of Morshu from the Zelda CDI series of games into their remix, specifically this one. No one knows why they did it, but it was funny I think.
(Hey Vsauce, Freeform here. Spamton and Morshu are both shopkeepers. Yep, that's the entire joke. I lost anyway lol.)
