Round 1 is now over. If you aren't in a tiebreak situation, scores you submit will not be accepted.

An additional day has been added to Round 1 in which only tiebreak scores may be submitted. This day will end on Tuesday, September 19th.

Rule changes regarding tiebreakers

-If a player submits a score that causes a tie on the last day of the round (i.e. after 10:00 AM on Sunday, September 17) then there will be an additional day after the round ends in which only tiebreak scores may be submitted.

-If players tie on the tiebreak song, they will submit scores on One Minute Waltz [Classic] to determine the winner. If they tie on that, they will submit scores on Revolutionary Etude [Classic].

Hi! The first round of the tournament starts right now, and ends exactly one week from when this thread is posted (10:00 AM EST, Monday, September 18). Here you'll find what division you're in, who you're playing against, and most important of all, what song you'll be playing.

Songs:

The songs for week 1 are:

Expert:
Main: Uber Rave V2 [Purchased]
Tiebreaker: Strangeprogram [Secret]

Advanced:

Main: Stalled Out and Sushi Bars [Dance]
Tiebreaker: Party 4u - HolyNightRemix V2 [Purchased]

Beginner:

Main: Euphoria [Dance]
Tiebreaker: Crystalis - House Leaves (Remix) [Arcade]

Quick rules recap:

Play the main song for your division, get the best score you can (without using secret arrows or otherwise cheating), take a screenshot, and send screenshots to me either by forum PM or email at shashakiro@yahoo.com. If you use email, make sure you make it clear what your FFR name is, or your score will not be counted. It's ok to send in more than one screenshot--the last one you send will be the only one counted.

Remember, only play the tiebreaker song if ***AAA TIE--PLAY TIEBREAKER*** or ***UNDER AAA TIE--IMPROVE SCORE OR PLAY TIEBREAKER*** appears next to your name in the matchups. Right now it says "No score" next to everyone's name, which I'll update to "Submitted" as I receive screenshots.

Also remember that you must submit scores only from the start of the round on, and submitting any older screenshot will be grounds for disqualification.

Matchups and Brackets:

Here you'll find what division you're in and whom you're up against. If you're having trouble finding your name, just hit ctrl + F and type in your username, which should bring you to your matchup. A number in parentheses before your name means that you're a seeded (top) player in your division. Note that if you're in Advanced and it says that you "wait", that means that you do NOT play this round (but you'll play the next round). Every player in Advanced will wait in at least one round.

Quick question: Why are 16 people waiting in advanced. Why didn't you just have another 8 matches between those 16 people in this weekly round?

Also, are you not in this because you are judging then?

Shashakiro
09-11-2006, 09:19 AM
16 people have to wait in advanced because they're all in groups of 3, and only two play each week.

And yeah, I'm organizing, so I'm not competing.

09-11-2006, 09:31 AM
Oh Em Gee. Im up against SeasonedSpice and he's alot better than me. I have more AAA's then him bt he beats me in all of those other songs on his stats. I truly am screwed.****.

abyss05
09-11-2006, 09:34 AM
Are we allowed to send u a ss and then update it with a better score as the week goes on, or is it just one shot?

Read the original rules thread.

You can send me as many screenshots as you want. Only the last one you send counts.

Are you serious with P4U?......

the 9/10 of us who shrink our screen can't even physically SEE the arrows. Hey I have an idea let's put some more songs on here that Tass can FC and no one else can.

Shashakiro
09-11-2006, 10:44 AM
I was planning for a week for signups. I wasn't planning for 192 people to sign up in under 12 hours. If you didn't get in, I'm sorry, that's just how it happened, next time there will be WAY more spots so that this doesn't happen again.

3 people have submitted so far, all in Beginner...still need 109 more.

TheRapingDragon
09-11-2006, 10:53 AM
So at the end of the week will you post up all the scores and winners and what not?

Or are scores secret and only the winners are announced?

Shashakiro
09-11-2006, 10:59 AM
The best score from each player will be revealed at the end of each week.

Squeek
09-11-2006, 11:06 AM
Levelrank.php must be screwed up from the switch to vB =p

Oh well, beginner eh? So be it. Expect lots of AAAs.

TheRapingDragon
09-11-2006, 11:31 AM
Another question. In the event of a tie-breaker, what if more than one person AAA's the song? You can't keep giving out more songs so I presume it'll be a "one game to finish" it set-up? Where each player plays a song once and best score advances?

HansSky
09-11-2006, 11:35 AM
I swear to God. I've been getting 1 good on ****ing Euphoria three times in a row. And it's always at the end on some retarded quarter note. Shoot me.

EDIT: nvm AAA

The tiebreakers are hard enough so that this shouldn't happen. If it does, that'll be something of a pickle...I might just go with whoever submits it first...but really, I don't think two people will be AAA'ing tiebreakers against each other.

That seems a bit unfair seeing as how the person who submits first may not have gotten the AAA before the other person.

Why not, in the event of both people AAA'ing the tie-breaker, you make them play one more round of the song, no second chances, best score from that advances?

You can check what the persons last song played was and the score they got so it wouldn't be too hard to keep a check of it.

I might do that.

I'll kinda decide what to do on a whim if it does happen. I assume it won't, anyway.

09-11-2006, 12:26 PM
I think the p4u is gonna make people want to use the slowdown glitch in the event of tie. I have a really hard time getting it to sync up so it's at normal speed too.

By the way, can we submit a screenshot to you more than once and get the higher score counted, like if we get a low one and then get a high one later in the week? Or for simplicity would you prefer that we submit only one screenshot?

TheRapingDragon
09-11-2006, 12:38 PM
itmorr - That question was already asked and answered. You can submit as many times as you want during the week.

scottish
09-11-2006, 12:43 PM
Ok guys just to lay this out..
You can submit as much as you want, any amount of screen shots can be PM'd or Email'd to Shashakiro on the song your rank is submitting. ONLY the last, or best score on that song, screen shot submitted to Shashakiro will be counted.
You have one full WEEK to give Shash screenshots, giving you one WEEK to send as much as you want.

Using the slowdown glitch on P4U is perfectly acceptable.

P4U is the ONLY song where this is acceptable.

Shash: I'm waiting but for future reference, if I know that the song we're playing will be AAA'd, can I AAA it and then start working on the tiebreaker even though it doesn't say "AAA play tiebreaker song."

Basically I'm asking if I can send you a tiebreaker score on a date that is after the round but before the point when you say "AAA, play tiebreaker song."

If that makes sense XD.

Shashakiro
09-11-2006, 01:55 PM
You're free to get a score on a tiebreaker song before it's necessary, but I will ignore tiebreaker scores that are submitted before a tie is reached.

If you really think both of you will AAA the main song, just get a score on the tiebreaker, save the screenshot, and submit it when necessary.

EDIT: 9 submissions so far, 103 to go

Mother of God AAA was enough BY ITSELF for at least top 10 in Advanced. You had a strong levelrank.php, so you got a seed.

And you should be disappointed if you were placed in a higher division, not a lower one...lower means a better chance of winning =P

Advanced Winner: Dore
Expert: Anuj (he crushed the last one)

I don't really know anyone from beginner so yeah.

EDIT: god dangit i wanted to be in this tourney.

09-11-2006, 02:39 PM
will the songs be harder on depending on who's left? cause what if us seeded ppl were only left?
we dont want those easy songs. well i dont

xjohnieboyx
09-11-2006, 02:54 PM
Dawg, dore won't win Advanced. It's going to be hard with darkshark in and Tass. I doubt dore will win although he will advance far that's for sure ;).

My predictions:

Expert: Bahamut

Advanced: (depending on the song chosen by Shash) darkshark

Shashakiro
09-11-2006, 03:22 PM
14 submissions, 98 left...keep em coming ;)

From the looks of things, Expert might see at least a couple tiebreaks this round.

The one division where I have seriously no clue who will win or who even has an advantage is Beginner. It's a pretty open field there, and I really think there are a lot of people with a good shot.

Baha and Shark are pretty strong favorites in their divisions, but that doesn't mean they can't be beaten.

bahamut416
09-11-2006, 03:27 PM
I got stuck in Beginner?! Wah! I never noticed until I went back and rechecked the song, realizing I had been trying to do(and doing pretty well)On sushi bar...then I saw I had to do euphoria and I was like....SLAP IN THE FACE!!! Heh, There will be a hell of a lot of tiebreakers in beginner, with songs like this..

Shashakiro
09-11-2006, 03:31 PM
I'm going to laugh if some fool sends me a screenshot of some other division's song.

P.S. Euphoria is going to be the easiest song Beginner will see. They'll only get harder, and I don't expect ANY tiebreaks to be necessary next week for Beginner.

Ryusei_
09-11-2006, 03:34 PM
If the songs continue to be this easy (which I hope they aren't), you're right...I have a feeling Beginner will see a good number of Tiebreaks. Going through the list I can pick off a decent number of people that SHOULD be able to AAA these types of songs....Given a week to do so, anyways xD

EDIT** Well Shash's post just completely ruined mine.....xD

It would suck if I'm knocked out in the first round, but I would have done really well in the rounds after that.

Three tries and I'm already sick of this ****ing song, too.

Sweet jesus, I love your sig.

On another note, if we don't play this week, are we doign the same song next week? I'm in advanced, so will I be doing Stalled Out and Sushi Bar also?

Vivi57

I highly doubt that we'd play the same song next week, considering that one of the people who alraedy played that song would be playing.

Got 7 goods on stalled out and sushi bar somehow. Played it 3 times, 17 good non fc, 7 good fc, 17 good non fc. *shrugs*

Shash check your PMs. Also, if you have so many people in Advanced waiting, would it really hurt to include someone who had signed up before but wasn't added due to a stipulation?

Sweet jesus, I love your sig.

On another note, if we don't play this week, are we doign the same song next week? I'm in advanced, so will I be doing Stalled Out and Sushi Bar also?

thanks for the sig comment

Shash, is it illegal to submit a AAA tie breaker score as of right now, like play both songs and submit both..in case of a AAA? Or is that considered playing it before..?

Dynam0
09-11-2006, 04:20 PM
You'd have to hold on to the tiebreaker score until it has been announced that you have tied the other player

edit: wow thats worded terribly rofl

Play SP if you want, but don't send me the screenshot unless it's a tiebreak situation.

scottish
09-11-2006, 04:25 PM
Hmm so technically I can play the tiebreaker song as its announced, and hold it until I know for sure that there is a AAA tie? That would be the same as submitting it when it's released.
Oh ok, nonetheless, I just wanted to know, because I know there will be many AAA situations, and technically it gives me alot more comfort, rather a day or two of just practicing it.

scottish... you can play SP and get a score now. just don't submit it until you need to.


and, frankly... any of 4 or 5 people in advanced have a shot. clearly DS, dore, and Johnie are favorites... but luna at 10?!?... and hell, even I have a shot if Shash hand picked the songs to suit specifically me. But he won't, of this I am sure.

I have a question. Should we take the screenshot of the whole IE page or just the FFR game box?

scottish
09-11-2006, 05:09 PM
Ehh, Chaos, the PrntScrn button only copies the window when you hit it, meaning it takes a picture of it and stores it in your paste function..
Open up any picture program, preferably MS paint, and then click the edit button on the toolbar, and click paste. Then save it to your desktop. Afterwards, go to www.photobucket.com and create a free account. Then click browse, to search for the picture you just saved to your desktop. Click upload, and it should upload onto photobucket.
Yet, that is not necessary. That is if you want to post a picture onto ffr, to email one to shash, open up your email account, state your name in the subject.. and attach your Screen Shot ( the one you saved to your desktop), and send it to shash.
EDIT: And no, you do not need to crop the picture, that is just more hassle.

Well then:
A) Why wasn't it planned better?
B) Why wasn't LD really aware of it when I talked to him about it?
C) Why is it so biased?

A) Because neither me nor Synth is psychic and realized that 192 people would sign up in 12 hours
B) LD is busy as hell and isn't aware of everything the day it happens, I organized this directly with Synth
C) It's not biased toward anyone, only the signups were biased because of the HUGE rush of people we got

Personally I think it's a tournament....In which case if you don't come fast enough you don't get a spot. No one should really have a special spot reserved for them, regardless if Jesus himself was playing from his lap top....

It just keeps it fair for those who may not have been playing as long or just aren't as good.

The goal is to keep all the divisions competitive. Without reserved spots in Expert, it won't be competitive, and Expert would be more like "hey Bahamut have $100" than an actually competitive division.

Not everything has to be first-come-first-serve...the people who've worked at and practiced the game enough to be able to compete in Expert should get to, even if they didn't happen to show up between 2 AM and 1 PM on a sunday night.

Ryusei_
09-11-2006, 07:36 PM
Well then you should say that those people will get to compete regardless of the rules you set for everyone else, since they are obviously above those.

I personally don't have a problem either way, but in the fairness of those others that didn't get the chance to sign up and STILL have to sit out after you let someone in, it seems a bit unfair. Granted I understand the concept behind it all, but still the fairness of it is missing.

Expert: $100
Advanced: $80
Beginner: $70

Go and read the post that you signed up in...

If Shash put you in beginner then you are just that, beginner. It's organized according to whoever signed up, so if 64 people who signed up are better than you at FFR then you have no chance of getting into advanced regardless of how good you think you are.

looking at it that way jammer i understand why I was put in beginner doesn't mean I won't stop complaining

Play more and get into the top 64 players. Complaining would only get you kicked out I'd imagine.

Besides, winning in ANY of the brackets would take a lot of skill. Just because you think you're advanced, doesn't downsize the fact that you would still need a lot of skill to win the beginner's bracket. PLus, there's no shame in winning 70 bucks XD.

You're in beginner. The only thing that excessive complaining will do to change that is to get you DQ'd.

oh sorry, my bad

No problem :D

And for another tournament, I think a way to do it would be to have no signups and no brackets. The 1st round starts with whatever song. Anybody who wishes to enter would submit a SS, the top 256 scores would make it through. Then, the next round, everyone in those 256 would submit scores for the song and the top 128 make it through, so on and so forth. Then, for the last 16/32, there would be a bracket put in place, with seeding based on the earlier rounds.

Are you serious? Why did you complain about being in beginner? You never would've survived against other advanced players in "Stalled Out & Sushi Bars", according to that score.

ya it filled up pritty fast and i liked the idea of the 256 then 128 then brackets for those who make it but it wouldn't be fair to the beginneres and those who are/could be in advanced it would just be the l33t players I think this way although might be more of a hassle is fair

nforcer I'm pritty good at that song if you must know I havn't played the beginner song since like my 3000th game (just over 6250 i think) and i've played it a few times just so i could get used to it by the end of the week I'll have triple A'd it

Guys, this thread exploded to like 40 posts within the 10st ten minutes of posting.
It is not shash's, synth's, or anyone's fault for not realizing that 192 or whatever people were going to join within the first 12 hours.
People learn from their mistakes, so next time, you can expect a tournament with 300+ people, with more organization, and more organizers.
Edit: Oh, can't forget more time.

1. the FFR League Season 1 was run TERRIBLY.... but with the help of myself and Freak, League Season 2 was MUCH MUCH better.

2. I told Shash that league 1/2 had ~1000 people in them each... he chose not to listen to me as to how big of a deal a main page post is. Also, this whole tourney HAS BEEN fairly spontaneous... I'm shocked that we have $250 in prizes from Synth for it. Absolutely shocked.


3. Read the rules before you complain.... and remember that you are complaining about the opportunity to win FREE MONEY. If you don't win, nothing lost. At worst, you are the same tomorrow as you are today.


Try and not act like the spoiled 14 year olds that you are.

Shash ranked people by comparision of overall ranking via levelrank.php
So, in reality, you could have AAA'd four of the hardest songs, and haven't played any other songs, and still be ranked in beginner.

Jammer325
09-11-2006, 10:27 PM
I don't know about that... I'm pretty sure Tass has a better overall rank than me in that but I'm seeded 1 spot higher than him.

dore
09-11-2006, 10:31 PM
Overall rank is just a good indicator, not necessarily the final word. Someone with good average rank but a coule random songs they haven't played in funk or something bringing them down to 500 would be ranked ahead of (I assume) someone who had 500 with trying on every song.

scottish

Ok, well maybe expert ranked players, or high seeded advanced players are more biased, but overall, that's what was used.

In Advanced, seedings only matter from 1-16. If you aren't seeded, all that means is that you're in the other 32--the order in the matchups is random.

But if you get all of the submissions before the week is up, will you post the scores and consider the round over? Or will you wait the entire week incase someone pops in with a new, late entry?

That would be a good guess. For instance if a match starts on a Monday (like this one) it won't end untill the following Monday. While that puts you at a disadvantage compared to the others, you still have two days to submit a score :)
