Going to make a slight alteration to the difficulty to bring this more on an even (and hopefully more fun) playing field. With this change, I hope to see more submissions without taking a trip on the strugglebus.

Difficulty Changes:
D1 - 10-19
D2 - 20-29
D3 - 30-39
D4 - 40-49
D5 - 50-59
D6 - 60-69
D7 - 70-79

The OP will be updated to reflect this as well.

These caps seem really really low. I think if you keep those caps, you'll turn round 1 into an AAAfest.

I mean, just to get into D6, a player should be able to get low SDGs on low-80s and an AAA on a 79+.

I think the biggest merits in a "Play what you want" round is that it enables players to showcase their skill. I understand that you don't want to end up with a ton of Undici scores (quadmashing it last night got me double the raw score I'd be able to get on a normal song), so why don't you keep your division difficulty MINs, but raise the max by 20 or 30 per division.

So, something like:

D1: 10-39 (or 29)
D2: 20-49 (or 39)
D3: 30-59 (or 49)
D4: 40-69 (or 59)
D5: 50-79 (or 69)
D6: 60-89 (or 79)
D7: 70-99 (or 89)

Doing so would enable players to play songs to the upper limits of their skill without allowing them to turn this into a quadmashing nightmare of a round.
