The issue with the set-up for this round is threefold:
* Binary goal
* Real time focused
* Exclusionary difficulty

The issue with AAA-ing things is that it's binary: either you have it or you don't.

The issue with real time being an aspect is that some people are just busier than others, some people won't see this until the following day, etc.

That last point isn't entirely obvious, but, well... you went off the token unlocks, which do vary from the division boundaries. I'd say that the average FFR-er can AAA something 2 or 3 levels below their own level, with some fluctuation in both directions (your own +9 Flight of the Bumblebee, my -9 ABCDEath until I got HELLBEAT for -2)

So what levels can actually do this?
1-27 (Excite Bike), 30-45, 53-54, 60-64, 68-78, 81-86, 90+
D1 is fine, D2 is mostly fine, D3 is screwed, D4-D7 should probably have had the screws loosened a bit.

So yeah. Even though I got my AAA and unlocked Scarhand because of this, the more I think about this round the less well designed it seems.

I'd say that the average FFR-er can AAA something 2 or 3 levels below their own level, with some fluctuation in both directions (your own +9 Flight of the Bumblebee, my -9 ABCDEath until I got HELLBEAT for -2) D1 needs to AAA something in the 1-27 range while being in the 1-21 range. No problems here other than Excite Bike is literally free. D2 needs to AAA something in the 28-49 range while being in the 22-45 range. This is starting to show the issue: someone at level 26 or 27, a decent ways into their division (where accuracy is still being worked on!), need to get a AAA above their skill rating. Okay, a skillboost could manage this. Likewise, someone at the low 40s could just grab a song a dozen levels below their rank. D3 needs to AAA something in the 50-57 range while being in the 46-54 range. This just exacerbates the issue: in order for the average player to get this AAA, they need to be on the upper end of their division. Anyone before level 50? Git gud to compete. 50-52? Hope you're good at AAAing. 53-54? You're good. D4 needs 58-65 while being 55-64. Same basic issue, except mid D4 is enough vs. high D3. D5 needs 66-78 while being 65-76. Same setup as D4. D6 needs 79-88 while being 77-86. Yep. Low D6 can't participate either. D7 needs 89+ while being 87+. Yeah.
