I'm actually surprised at the amount of people that ask what division they'll be in. We should've just told everyone that there wouldn't be any divisions and then when it starts "Surprise surprise! Look at that, divisions!". ._.

I'll probably be able to post scores for the first two weeks (I get to go to school on the 10th and 16th under the pretense of attending success skills seminars, but who says you can't mix business with pleasure?), but success is dubious because I don't see an image-saving program on there. But there's usually other people there that might be willing to take regular photographs of it (because everyone and their brother has a camera phone these days). Beyond that, assuming I make it that far, I'll have to get creative.

Everyone has paint?
qqwref
06-7-2008, 10:03 PM
Yeah, Paint is one of those programs that all Windows PCs start with and should always have, unless for some reason whoever's in charge of the computer deleted it (but why would they?).
On the other hand, for people who legitimately don't have any way of keeping screenshots, it would be neat to be able to save scores (just p-g-a-m-b, max combo, rank, and time/date saved) to your account. In that case, for a contest like this, users could save their scores and link to them, instead of linking to screenshots. Hopefully an official score would be harder to fake than a screenshot as well (that is, you could only save a score that you actually got, as opposed to people having the ability to just make fake screenshots in photoshop). But this is an idea for the future...
Dominewyorican
06-7-2008, 10:51 PM
Or just link your replay page and tell them the score you had so they can see it there. That should do the trick since the replay page shows all the stats they'll need anyways.

06-7-2008, 10:55 PM
Just make sure you save the replay in your replays.
qqwref
06-7-2008, 11:20 PM
Yeah, but don't the replays still have the avmiss glitch? If that's the case then the score in the replay would be different. For example, I've heard of instances where a person got FC but the replay had a few misses in it, so just saving it as a replay wouldn't be a perfect solution. (Also, I doubt the admins are going to want to watch 1000+ replays.)
remedy1502
06-7-2008, 11:27 PM
The score next to the replay link will be the score that you got though. Like before you click on it. It's only the score WITHIN the replay that gets messed with.
If I've signed up *before* I had 100 plays; but was removed from the list -

One quick question, suppose I use FFR to upload my inages for the tournament instead of a image hosting site would that be acceptible?

06-8-2008, 10:03 AM
I think people have done that for the past tournament, but I'd use Imageshack or Photobucket just to be on the safe side. I'm usually too lazy, so I like to attach images directly into my post for unofficial tournaments. For this one, though, I'll be using Imageshack.

Bingo and thats why I mentioned about telling them which it is. Just delete all the other junk ones from that song and keep the one you want to submit. And chances are that he'll be the only person that needs to do it that way since 99% of everyone here can just use paint lol.

not even practicing tho lol
idc if i win or not, main thing for me would be the cash, maybe the tshirt too. subscription, eh i dont even remember what it does anymore. and i dont remember if we get credits from this one in one of the lower divisions or whatever, but i got enough credits... 19,200 credits O_O
damned if i do, damned if i dont lol ^_^
soneone else mentioned this and i wonder also, how will we know what division we are in? will a list be posted in this topic or on the front page? (or both)?

A run down of things answered by staff for those who don't want to look through the pages. I only left out the very first post by sprite because its long...and you can just click first page to read it yourself (which you should have done before even posting) and some repetitive stuff....don't be lazy.
scoring is based upon best score. duh?
Generally 8 weeks seems typical for the format and the number of people.
No, that's not correct. The division is one big list of names, and each round everyone submits scores, and are ranked in one giant list. The top X people on that list at the end of the round advance, the bottom Y people on the list are eliminated. There is no direct one-on-one competition.
For at least the first several rounds that will end up a guarenteed pass -anyway- but traditionally yes, a AAA gets you through the round, though Sprite- may well use a tiebreaker on AAAs in later rounds, you'd have to wait for an official statement on that.
Each round of the official tourney tends to get its own stickied thread, and the rounds are going to be posted the same day, same time, each week.
And for everyone trying to predict what division they will be in, many of you are underestimating how high you'll be. Last official tourney I had about 12 AAAs, 100 FCs, and no tier points, and was put into D2 (And there were only 4 divisions at that point) I made it to round 4 before I was soundly eliminated by not even being able to FC my song.
YOu will be placed where it is determined you should be placed based on your stats, and the stats of the other people who sign up.
People should stop trying to suggest where they belong, or to insist that their stats don't reflect their skill, or ask us to tell them in advance where they will end up.
The people who will make up D5 can probably all self-identify, or alternatively you could just go look up who is in T0-2 and you'd probably have a pretty good list. Looking at T3-5 could probably get you a reasonable list of the D4 people. The vast swath of D1 people will likely have never or only rarely ever posted on the forum, have probably under 1,500 games played, and likely haven't taken part in any tourney or event before.
Chances are, if you even remember the last tourney, you're looking at D2+
Since you can only protest your division if you want to ask to be moved -upwards- and it's already been made explicit how the division choice is going to go, posting repeatedly about the division you'll be in, or that you think you should be in, is really just postwhoring at this stage.
as has been said... 100% new songs... so, no need to worry about old SSs. any scores will be from during the tournament.
the tournament is a free-for-all... a certain number of users from the total will advance, based upon their scores. scores get posted in the thread for that round. etc.
in terms of difficulty:
D1: 2 6s, 2 7s, 3 8s, 2 9s, 1 10
D2: 1 7, 4 8s, 3 9s, 2 10s
D3: 2 8s, 4 9s, 3 10s, 1 11
D4: 1 9, 4 10s, 4 11s, 1 12
D5: 1 10, 6 11s, 3 12s
if you compare that to last year, you'll notice that the songs are MUCH harder, across the board. we expect far fewer AAAs of the songs being given across all divisions, especially in the lower ones.
to answer the improve main round vs tie breaker question... main round takes precedence. you should always try to improve your main score first. the tie breaker is exactly that, a tie breaker. if 1 person improves their main score, then the 2 people are no longer tied.
and it likely will just be sprite doing the scores.... which, yes, will take a bit of time for the first round or two, with thousands of people submitting. but by week 3 or 4, it will be much faster. you'll deal with it, i'm sure.
it is starting the week of june 9th, as stated in the news post. we don't have an exact date, because we have to take the time to put everyone into their proper division.
if you want to unsign up... just don't submit in round 1. it's that simple.
vROFL will be up for grabs in all 5 divisions... the top 8 people will get it. although, if someone in the top 8 already has it, 9th place will NOT get it. so, it is UP TO 8 that will get it, not the top8 who do not already have it. which is why in the front page news story, it says "(up to 40)".
if you already have vROFL, you get to prevent someone else from getting it. that is your prize.
We'll be looking at substantially more stats than just AAAs and FCs, and all of it together will determine your division. There aren't fixed requirements, it will depend as much on the abilities of other people who sign up as it will on yours. (If only people worse than you sign up, you'll be in a higher division etc)
Yes, cash prizes will require paypal, T-shirt prizes will require a mailing address. If either of those is unacceptable to you, I'm sure you can work out an alternate arragement.
I imagine if getting everyone sorted into divisions takes 2 days or less, it could start as early as the 10th of June. If it looks like it will take longer, it will take longer. There's no chance of it starting any later than the 15th unless Tass, Sprite- and I all get the flu at the same time or something.
Previous performance isn't going to factor into your division placement. If by stats and apparant skill you're still a beginner, you'd be in the beginner division. If however, you did come in 2nd inbeginner last year and have made any improvements at all, yes, chances are you'll end up bumped up into intermediate.
Only the stats you had prior to hitting the signup button will be looked at for the most part. For some people, I will do advanced research of current scores.
The song will go into Hip-Hop for convenience. When the next batch of songs get added, the previous ones will be moved to their correct locations.

06-8-2008, 05:36 PM
I dunno, Tass... it just depends on what kind of player you are. I rather like the idea of not knowing a thing about the songs that will be played in this tournament. 95% of the time, the more I play a song, the worse I do. It wouldn't be an advantage for me, anyway.

I'm actually paranoid of which division I'm in. I can almost FC The World as We Know It, and I have AAA'd My Darkest Hour. However, on top of that, I also managed to beat Flight of the Bomblebeee. Will that affect my division?
I don't wanna get caught being the biggest noob in a division just because I beat one song before.
dont worry about that beating one song might not put u in a harder division, but that is my thought, so u might want to check in with someone else.
Im also glad that round one will start soon. i just hope i have time to play with final exams and all.

Simple passing songs is sufficiently simple just by mashing that it tends to have no significant impact on your overall stats especially in comparison to people who can actually play the song well.

Signups are now over. I will leave this thread open until tomorrow for comments or questions. Again, Do NOT ask what division you are being placed in, or when the tournament will begin - I will ignore either of these questions. I will update placements when they are finished, and the tournament will start when that is done.

Sooo when the tournament starts, will there be two separate tournament threads then? (One for tournament discussion/information on what song to play for which division for which week and one for users to post links to their screenshots)
I think it will be really confusing if everyone posts their screenshots in the same thread as the discussion, plus that would make it really hard to find the pages which tell what songs to do.
Or am I completely missing something here??

5. Send me a link to the screenshot via forum PM or post it in the round's thread.
I am assuming that there will only be one thread. I'm sure it will not be that confusing.
blindreper1179

it's just one thread, but each round has it's own thread. yeah, it'll be spammed with people posting, but that's why they go through each post and ask if everyone is accounted for so no one is skipped. unless they change it this year, which i don't think they are, that's how it's going to be.

That's not the case, once you win it, you keep it. The only reason why the numbers are low is because of the fact that those who won vrofl win the tournament again in the top 8 and keep others from getting it, which is part of the good feeling you get if you do actually get it.

No it wasn't on purpose...I decided to sign up for the tournament but when I signed up the first time, I realized that I was still on my brother's account so I had to switch to my main account to sign up for this tournament but then later on I decided NOT to join the tournament so I told sprite to DQ me from the tournament.

Maybe if it wasn't so easy to sign up we wouldn't have people accidentally clicking links. Should have it at least go to a 2nd page where you type a few things and then click sign up. There could easily be 300 people that didn't mean to click it with the intent in actually joining the tournament.

What's going to happen with me? It's not based on total games played is it?
I've only played 204, but this is a relatively new account and I've been playing on and off for a few years now. My old account doesn't work. I was ranked like 200 overall in my peak if I recall correctly. It was like that a couple years ago I think? Not that overall matters.. I dunno. I just don't wanna get put in like D5 because I've only played 200 games or something.

Keep refreshing the Death Piano rank page, or the daily stats page. I'm sure you will catch someone soon.

Just random things I like to do on sites I'm on. Some of my goals is to get 15 ref's, AAA a difficulty 6 song, get pwned by someone badly in the vs. thingy. I am just random like that.:P

Staff members may enter... but staff members may NOT win prizes (besides vROFL). If a staff member finishes in a prize spot, their prize will go to the person who finished directly below them.
Good luck and have FUN!
just to make it clear, a staff member can give the 9TH place a prize, but a normal player may not?
infinity.

well, in a tournament, it wont matter becuz only the "best person" on the account will send a score so the others trying are just a waste of time

Search around. I'm sure you'll find a cheater...or two.
It's technicalities like this that make me somewhat relieved I only made one account and am an only child...:p

Oh Oni just reminded me... boondocks77 is having some problems with his comp, so theres ****load of lag and stuff, he's gonna be playing most likely at my place. So he'll probably have the same IP as me for most of the tourney.

"In this tournament, there will be five divisions: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Expert, and Masters."
Quoted from Sprite...first page.
