We don't need files for the official tourney anymore.
You can send us when the regular batch reopens (sometime in July I guess).

I -believe- that Tasselfoot actually has each and every song for all divisions and all rounds already picked out and ready to go.
Yeah all songs for the tourney are already determined and he'll upload them.
I'll just move old tourney songs from Hip-Hop to correct genre when each round is finished.

So it'll be like when all of the gurus were released--they'll be put in the 2nd (and probably a 3rd page) of HH?

e.g, when round 1 is over and round 2 starts, round 2 songs will be added in HH and round 1 songs in HH will be moved.

well...for the that work on this site...fix this if you dont want people to do what i have done =)

you see, for my PROFILE, this is what it says. If this needs to be updated...then it really isnt on me if my avatar WAS within these parameters. Now, another thing...if this isnt going to be changed...why have the profile avatar...shared with the forum avatar..if the size limits are different. I'm going to change it of course... but so that other people dont go through the trouble i went through...fix this

You should make the first post be the first one you see, now people see the latest first, is there a way to make the order reversed (ie first post seen first on first page, and last post on the last page)?

I signed up for the tourney btw, been playing FFR very casually for a while now.

I think some credits should be given out as well for places in 1-5 or something, or maybe 1-10. Get 10 or below in the tournament is pretty good but since prizes stop at 3rd place it kind of sucks for 4 and up. :( I just wanted to throw this out there. This does not need to be considered in anyway and no one needs to get angry or whatever for me saying this.

Anyway, I'm still hoping D3 max... I don't think I'd be in d2, since I almost won in a division that was harder than that, but I don't think I'd make D4, since I would barely be able to AAA the first songs... And probably not even FC the last ones...

After testing out quite a few TP songs, I noticed that it really ain't easy to get a single point...but there are like 3-4 songs that I almost got, let's say I missed 2-3 arrows for a FC, and that's after quite a bit of practice. I guess D1 awaits me this year again...last time I had to stop at 3rd round as I didn't have time much, now I should have a running chance of getting something....maybe. Next year I'll probably manage D2 or more with tons of practice, if I'm still playing. My AAAs lack just as much...

Just because nobody in D1 will have any tier points doesn't mean that everybody with no tier points will be in D1. Your stats are much better than mine were last year, and I was put into D2 despite no tier points. The 258 FCs is quite probably enough to bump you into D2, though again, this will depend in large part on the number and skill level of people who sign up in and around you.

Thread tl;dr, this may have been mentioned, and likely was. Whatever.

-Your screenshots must be from some time after the round starts. This means that you cannot submit a screenshot of a score you got months ago, or even the day before that round starts. If you are caught submitting an old screenshot (and you WILL be caught if you try) you will be immediately disqualified.

That's not possible, considering all the songs will be new. I love copypasta.

You are definitely above D1 if you can almost FC tier point songs. Maybe D3, but we'll have to wait until signups close to find out.

I think I'd #$%^ my pants if they put me n D3 lol. I'm assuming d2 for myself only because I'm almost done fc'ing vd songs. But we can't all go by someones fc count either. For example...I have 317....but thats only because I took the time to fc all of lvl 7 and under....bout 13 or so left in lvl 8 and I've only done a handful of lvl 9's. I know ppl who have like 200-250 fc's but their fc's consist of like lvl 10's and stuff. Obviously they'd prolly get TP's which will show up but it looks like the staff have their work cut out for them with all the entrants.

P.S. Really glad I'm not involved in organizing this....gl :roll:

-Don't bother trying to cheat, you'll be caught and immediately disqualified. Trying to secretly play in a lower division than you should be in by means of alternate accounts, or by any other means is CHEATING. Cheating will not be tolerated, and any evidence of cheating will result in disqualification. Also note that trying to piss me off by trying to bend the rules or trying to find loopholes will get you disqualified.am i going to get disqualified since me and my brothers play on different accounts but on the same computers?

That's not possible, considering all the songs will be new. I love copypasta.So what exactly was the point in this post? To try and be a smart-ass? The tournament happens to have a fairly useful and well-developed ruleset that it simply makes sense to always use. That this particular tourney happens to not need that exact stipulation is just a happy coincidence for us because it means less time spent on rules enforcement.

am i going to get disqualified since me and my brothers play on different accounts but on the same computers?Perhaps you should decide which one of you has the best chance to win something and only they enter, or one of you should register and play from a convenient other computer. I'm not saying "you will" or "you won't" get disqualified under the alts rule since we can't confirm that you're actually multiple people, that will be up to Sprite- and Tass, but better safe than sorry never hurt anybody.

EAGAMES
06-4-2008, 12:14 PM
The first round will probably be a 100% full participation, or a lot of people will submit their scores.Towards the end of the tournament I think less and less will post their scores.

Tasselfoot
06-4-2008, 12:23 PM
EAG: the opposite is true, actually. Tons of people sign up and then never participate... generally, if you submit a score at all in the 1st round, you'll move on (more true in the easier divisions).

Why? Because, especially in the easy divisions, you have random casual FFRers who sign up... then either don't come back to the site or forget about it or decide not to submit, etc etc. Generally in the D3/4/5 range is the more longer-term user... the guy who stays around the site, comes every day, etc. So they're more likely to submit and actively participate all the way through.

Then, as you eliminate off the people who aren't submitting, you are left only with people who do submit. So, generally, those who do not submit in the later rounds.... they do not submit because they don't have a good enough score to advance them. Not because they aren't still participating.

You are definitely above D1 if you can almost FC tier point songs. Maybe D3, but we'll have to wait until signups close to find out.


If someone puts me in D3 I will instantly give up (unless I am against people generally unable to FC VC songs), yet be proud that I had been evaluated at such a level. D2 is probably the highest I can go as I cannot Full Combp Very Challenging songs just yet. I barely FCed a few Challenging songs and I haven't FCed every song below Very Difficult. I read early on that the songs even in D1 might start at around Difficult or Very Difficult, and I haven't even AAAed a Standard song yet. I think there is a large gap between being able to FC VC songs and almost being able to.

I do not know why people are complaining about what Difficulty they will be put in. They are placing you with people of your own skill. If you are a beginner then you would not go in D5, but D1. That's why they have 5 difficulties to prevent complaining. More difficulties means less difference in skill in one difficulty. They know what they are looking for, and that's basically it. Nothing you will say will convince them otherwise, as they have already said this. The reason songs will be harder, i.e. in beginner, is to prevent constant AAAs. The harder the songs, the better the ability to see who is the best of the best.

Tasselfoot
06-4-2008, 02:21 PM
exactly. defeats the purpose, IMO, to force you to AAA your division's round's song just to advance... in an ideal world, nobody would be AAAing the songs they are given. but that clearly won't happen... it is quite likely in D1 though, especially from rounds 4 and onward. D5... i expect AAAs through most of the rounds from the top people.

But the difficulty of the songs was picked specifically so very few (if any) people in a division would AAA. Not only does it increase the competition of the round, it prolongs the round for users. No more AAAing in 1-2 runs and sitting on your thumbs for a week waiting for the next song.

Gilly G
06-4-2008, 02:44 PM
Why are people complaining before they've been placed? That's kind of beyond me. ._.

devonin
06-4-2008, 02:55 PM
They'll complain based on where they think they might get put.
They'll complain based on who they think might get placed with them.
Afterwards, they'll complain even more because there are people better than them.

People refuse to realise that in D1, D2 and very well D3, the -vast- majority of people -are- going to lose.

If we did qualifying rounds for this tourney, we'd end up with probably 64/32/16/8/8 or so people in each of the 5 divisions as a "good and balanced" set of participants. So basically, every round that results in more people than that advancing is essentially a mid-tourney qualifier. If only 64 D1 people are "good enough to have a chance to win" and we get 1000 people in D1, stands to reason that a lot of people are going to just go out in early rounds regardless.

To my knowledge there are two different IPs. One is linked with the computer, and one with your internet. Like all of the computers in my house have the same IP address globally, but each computer has its own IP. I hope I am saying this right. Anyone want to correct/re-assure me?

I'm not complaining. I'm actually hoping that time will go faster while I post from time to time. Sorry if it seems like complaining. Usually I lurk...and lurk...and lurk some more. But right now I just felt like writing something. I'm a curious person in general so when I speak up, I often ask myself or others questions. I can also try to guess what will happen.

Anywho, time is passing and the tournament approaches ever so more :P

EDIT: My weakness: Repetitive motifs that go by very fast or are closely knit together.

If I remember my computer science classes correctly, each computer is supposed to have a unique IP address. Thus, in theory, the laptop and the Mac will have different IP addresses.

But meh. I'm thinking the early rounds will have difficulties like 5/7/9/10/11 and go up from there, in which case I'd probably be D3 (while I have FCed 10 footers in the past such as PGO, it took a lot of retries).

And speaking of PGO...

IP addresses are based upon your router. If you use different computers through the same router, they will both represent the same IP address.

1) If I want to connect to a computer on the same network, I could connect via IP address. The IP address you get when you open command prompt and type 'ipconfig.'
2) If I want to play an online game against someone, I would connect via IP address. The one you get when you go to http://whatsmyip.org/ ...

Mods/Admins will see the second one. Only you can see the first one. Which means they will see two people playing on the same IP. So you need to choose who will play the tourney, or convince Tass/Sprite to let you both play. I am sure neither of you will place, but whatever. :P

I signed up for this tournament, but this is my first tournament, and I just have a couple questions on some of the General Rules.

When the first round of the tournament starts and with each new round after that, I will announce the main song and the tiebreaker song, if applicable. Your goal is to get and submit a higher score on the main song than your opponent.
Does this mean that the tournament is a kind of elimination-style?


-You can only play the specified main song for that round (assuming the tiebreaker is unnecessary). Rounds will generally be 1 week long (7 days) each unless otherwise noted.
Does this mean that I am not allowed to play other songs during the round, at all?

Tasselfoot
06-4-2008, 06:53 PM
it is a free-for-all elimination. aka, you have 200 people at the start of the round... and 120 move on to the next round. that means the highest 120 scores will advance, the lowest 80 would be eliminated. as an example.

that merely means that you can not attempt to substitute another song for the song you've been given. it is a bit misleading, yes. but, you are free to play any song you want at any time... just you can only submit scores on your division's song for that round.

Horrible puns...(I laughed, though).

The IP the admins will see is that of your router; within your local network, each computer gets assigned its own IP, but that does not affect the fact that there will be a single IP for the whole network that "interfaces" with the rest of the Internet. Thus, two computers on the same network would appear to have one IP.

Also, I have little motivation to try to get good just for this or anything, since I can't get prizes. I'll be proud of myself if I lose due to something besides a nonsubmission.

I really honestly don't think I belong in D5 anyway >_> I played for a bit and probably the best score I got was 7 on Runny or something like that, just terrible without avmisses.

Your absence might have been enough to skew your placement down into D4 unless we just go "OH...Shash, D5" Like...I suspect if we only looked at numbers and paid no attention at all to the names attached to the numbers, you'd probably be in D4.

Tasselfoot
06-5-2008, 02:15 AM
Shash... the day you get placed outside of D5 is the day that I have a dragon fly out of my pee hole. Then for said dragon to swallow me whole, only for me to escape through it's pee hole.

edit: just in case... could someone provide me a chart of the anatomy of a dragon? i want to know where their pee hole is. I suspect it's something similar to other reptiles and is basically internal.

Shash definately isnt as great as his former glory these days, and it might be majorly unfair for him to get put in D5 after his absence, but alas, what would be fair for him would be majorly unfair for all other D4 attendee's.

I'm definately not saying I dont want him to win, but putting him in D4 would just about guarntee a victory, and the facts are that now he's not a whole lot better than the average/lower ended D5 placement player and he's going to have to get placed in a division that's too high for him to win, just as 90%+ of us are going to now. (Please dont hate me now FFR community, I still love you all and our old legend Shash.)

I agree 100% with this. Based on what Sprite said about you probably still being able to AAA some pretty decent FMOs (and even get 7 goods on RunnyMorning), you should be in D5. (Sorry, but I still think that a D4 = auto win for you.) :-|

I should either be a D1 or D2 because I am the same as Shash now. I havent played for days and I dont even play Stepmania that much anymore. And so now I dont even have a style to play with. I suck at using three fingers because they get all jumbled in a bunch when I play and if I do spread then I cant hit some of the patterns that I can with three fingers and my Pa is worse. I probably cant even AAA Trisection anymore because last time I tryed I couldnt and usually I do on my first or second try. I wish I can be good at this game and then leave and then come back the same me. I wont complain what division I am in as long as I have a chance and it is not above D3 unless if D2 will consider AAA any Very Difficult and Challenging songs then put me in D1 and not D2.

Dude, a couple days is nothing. I had a 3 week break, then played a bit (about a month and some), then had a month break, and then I came back better than ever. I was AAAing **** that I couldn't even come close before. Ex. Adult's Sketchbook, Splash Beats
And my PA was just better. This wasn't right away, I had to play 1-2 days for me to get like this, but seriously man, you shouldn't be complaining that you suck after not playing for a few days.

Also If Shash is D4, then I'm gonna feel so good, same division as the former God of FFR, and even though I won't win (probably not even top 8), it'll be so sick.
EDIT: But IF Shash is D4, then, I would be like, D2 or D3 rofl.

Just because you can't AAA certain songs anymore doesn't mean that Sprite is gonna hold you back, even if you've been put away for a while.

Shash, despite his disappearance, has more than enough potential to be D5. I don't think that it's that big of an excuse to say that you haven't played in days.

Shash on the other hand, being gone for who knows how long is trying to make a run for a tourney after not playing for who knows how long. I'm not sure where to stop, so I'll stop here. :p

D5: 1 10, 6 11s, 3 12s

Exactly what does this mean? I might join this tournament but I didnt do so well in the last one because there were some misplacing. I was in like the top 18 or something. I may not be as good as I was back then but I can probably manage to try to pick up my skills again. I think it has been a month or two since I last played and I only played atleast 5 songs on that day. I guess I will join to have fun. What do those numbers mean?

devonin
06-5-2008, 12:27 PM
That's the difficulty of each song for the 5 divisions. Seems straightforward to me.

Division 1 will have 2 6/12, 2 7/12, 3 8/12, 2 9/12 and a 10/12

And so on.

Off the top of my head, giving your stats a superficial look, I'd say completely unofficially that I'd likely end up putting you in D2.

It was brutal.
Looking at devonins thing for the song difficulties... I should do well until the FMOs start. Then it's gonna get hard for me. 10s are still within my reach to AAA, which is good i guess.

D4: 1 9, 4 10s, 4 11s, 1 12
D5: 1 10, 6 11s, 3 12s


This logic would entail D1 for me. The hardest songs I've managed to AAA so far are of EASY difficulty....I'll have to see if I can AAA STANDARD....I'll edit in about 20 minutes to see if I can. If so, then I'll try TRICKY....but I think it unlikely...maybe....who knows....

*goes to play*

Edit:

Policy in the sky: few boos, but SDG otherwise.
Fierce combat: SDG....not looking nice for my case.....still a standard.
Mount Chorus: a few boos with 18 goods. tricky...I think....am on random.
Emotions: few boos with 16 goods.
Green twilight FFR edit: few boos, 4 averages, 39 goods, difficult level.
H.T.I.J.: 1 boo, 19 goods.
Song for all time: 2 miss near the end...EVIL!...10 boos, 24 goods. This song I think is an example of a song harder than the average difficult song.
The space between: bleh score...haven't FCed it yet....could
probably after whoring it 5-10 times tops. Very Difficult level thingy.
update on ''The space between: Tried hard and FCed it!!!!!!
Maybe 5-10 times was exagerating a bit, but still, there is
the part where doubles cross that doesn't make the tune very easy for me.
Moonbeam: streams.......a few averages and quite a few goods.
Mother of God: 25 boos (mashed a tad), 8 averages and lots of goods. Second time I FC this one...
Tougenkyou -H.E.Remix-: Crud....I did FCed a VC song....though it was an easy VC song...and I mashed quite a bit.
937 - 90 - 6 - 0 - 41

Tier Points: 1 (1 + 0 for 17 AAAs)

I now have 1 TP....which I'm glad...and yet not....

ilu devonin <3
I have I think 3 FMO SDGs... Is that still D3? Or am I D4?
EDIT: Owai I'm not supposed to ask. Nevermind =)

PS: Tier Points: 332 (310 + 22 for 412 AAAs)
But most of my FMOs (newer ones), are 0 points =(

sounds like low D5 =(

Looks like either D2 or D3 for me, depending on how the files are laid out. I AAAed Work, but I can't do the same for Boss Machine, and it takes a lot of work (pun not intended) for me to FC a 10-footer.

In the meantime, can someone tell me how the winners are supposed to receive the material goodies of cash and possibly a T-shirt?

So, I've missed most of this thread, but what are the chances that I could get put in d3?
I have trouble AAA'ing most songs, I only have about 20, and my avg rank is over 9000. I'm pretty sure that most people in d4 and d5 can do a lot better than that

yeah I assume I'll get in D4 or D2 whichever one is the second best. I haven't really played though since the last tournament so we'll see how this goes.

ps what is the format?

can we please do grand prix for final 16, to keep the thread lively for the last few weeks? Once it's down to three or four people things get too quiet.

You should still be in Beginner probably. AAA'ing a Standard song might be when you enter D2 instead of D1; I personally consider that if you have achieved a fairly high Standard AAA, then you're good enough for D2.

Talisman, what do you mean by "grand prix" format? I've either never done anything like that, or it was called by another name.

devonin
06-5-2008, 06:30 PM
I'm assuming he means free-for-all, which is what -every- round is going to be like.

That or he wants the round to be made up of several songs like a track circuit...that's not going to happen.

I can only SDG easy ones; NWE, SC, BF, that new colourful one. Thats it.

talisman
06-5-2008, 06:46 PM
no, free for all is given.

what I mean by grand prix is that once each division gets down to 16 players, no one is eliminated.

instead, you get points according to how well you place on each week's song (something like 32 - 15 - 10 - etc for first second third and on). The winner is the person at the end who has the most points.

alternatively, you could only do this up to the final week, when the top two point holders play the final song by themselves.

it's like a grand prix in the sense that each week is a new "course" but everyone gets to play ("race") in each one.

ps this also addresses the issue (if it is an issue anymore with jacks fixed) of people having "bad" songs that they get unlucky enough to draw early on when they could have beaten the scores of those who advanced on later songs.

The way I'm seeing things right now is the people who keep complaining or wondering what division they'll be in probably dont have the nessicary skills to win any of the divisions (aka PA). If you're a good player, thats cool. If you're not a good player, thats cool too. Sprite will be looking at all the possible information he needs to place people in the best division for them, so have faith guys and girls. No matter what division you're put in for this tournament, you're going to have to bring your A game.

It also seems that out of an expected 2000 people, a whole lot of people expect to take 1st, 2nd or 3rd place of their division. I'm not saying that's nessicarily a bad thing, but dont set yourself up for a fall. With only 15 winners out of (give or take) 2000 people, you'll have to be darn good and ready to take anything that comes your way.

Actualy 40 people will win something. 5 divisions, and at minimum, the top 8 are getting the vROFL token. So 40 prizewinners.

But yes, the vast majority of entrants have, unfortunately no chance at all to win.

Silhac

This is just out of personal opinion, but if someone in the top 8 at the end already has vrofl, shouldn't the next person below them get it, since it seems a bit odd that those who already possess vrofl should then be in that same position to get it again, and just take the other prize when the other is one they already have.

Not that I have a problem with this, but it looks like to do well in a lower division you need a certain type of accuracy - it seems like you have to be able to AAA practically all of the songs you can FC. My situation is that I can FC about half of the 10s, but my PA for pretty much anything from 6 through 10 (as long as I FC it) is relatively constant. So I'm expecting to get placed in a division where songs are around the 8-10 level (D2 or D3), but since I haven't ever AAAed anything over a 5 I expect to lose in the first few rounds since it's generally accepted that you need an AAA or very close to advance. I'll be interested to see who wins the lower few divisions.

devonin
06-6-2008, 03:17 PM
I think you're not quite correct as to what is needed to win in a given division. The song rounds this time are specifically geared towards being quite difficult to AAA. The first many rounds should not be going to "all AAAs"

However, given that you do have multiple FCs on 10/11 songs, you could in fact fall afoul of getting put higher than perhaps you feel comfortable with, but at the same time, your ability to get FCs on 10s and 11s suggests that if you simply work at it, you can AAA higher songs than you have. I mean, I haven't AAA'd anything over a 5 either, but I can't FC anything higher than an 8 either. And I was in D2 last year. You'd certainly advance further than I did.

The place people seem to be the most worried about is the border between D3 and D4. Well, Sprite- is going to be making D4 and D5 entirely on his own, and thus by default, D3 is the best of whoever he gives me, so it's really not worth my trying to suggest whether I think someone is D3 or D4. If Sprite- thinks you're D4, I won't ever see your name, if he thinks you aren't, you're D3 no matter what.
