The player skill level is only one of two factors for this tournament. Playing FFR with a two frame timing window is a lot more difficult than the normal three frame window.

Because of how FFR's frame placement works for generating charts, having a two-frame window demands a substantially more precision to keep your score higher. Doing any streams that don't resolve to a "special number" (i.e. a clean conversion with no deviations in frame spacing) will have players bobbing in and out of the two frames you have for hitting goods.

On top of it, given that the most effective way to get goods involves the late window, songs with jacks are tremendously more difficult. If the song in question has jacks that are two frames apart or faster (though I'll be avoiding songs with one frame jacks for this reason), then hitting the good window that's closest to the perfect window will actually trigger the second note instead of the first one (av-miss effect, except for this tournament, you'll get a perfect + miss as opposed to average + miss).

I know there's not a huge amount of super low players, but the fact is: they do exist -- and while I'm catering to them, it won't be for much time at all.
