Now that we're actually past the hurricane of flaming and attacking one another, let's actually target the tier issue.

We have some songs listed for the topic, it hasn't been decided how low the tiers are going to go; mostly everyone is saying 9s, I said 8s but it might not be taken down too low.

The best way I see to do this: assign a point value to each difficulty that is static throughout the same level, with the exception of those files that are on the border of each level having a +/- 1 tolerance (in the direction they are being contested in).

If a song is being contested for a lower tier value, the requirements should be loosened up a bit because they are a difficulty level that is rated in game one level higher than the rest of the songs within this value.

If a song is being contested for a higher tier value, the requirements should be tightened up a bit because they are a difficulty level that is rated in game one level lower than the rest of the songs within this value.

Once this is said and done, you can use overall level stat statistics (AAAs/FCs) to base off the lower songs (8s/9s), and then start using the score board for those that actually have a top 200 that varies. If a scoreboard indicates slightly lower scores than another song in the same level, the requirements should be slightly looser than one that has a fairly tight and solid board.

EDIT: If there are any songs within the 7/8 border, the requirement can be included in the 8 group but should be considerably tightened.
