Sorry I haven't been to update I was kinda busy. Looks like 1 more division is not playing so prizes gonna go up yo ^.^

Too bad things turned out this way. I was at least a bit interested in the 'tips' you proposed, 21992.

Maybe try to start a tournament when there are no other ones going on next time, 21992. I would say you were unlucky with site fallouts and the other tournaments going on that offer much larger prizes. I also remember not getting a private message in round 1, so that was also probably a factor, along with some other minor mistakes.

I would also still advocate updating scores in the OP instead of a spreadsheet, so people immediately see the progress of the tournament, and the fact that it's progressing at all.

If you organise everything well from the beginning and stick to it, I don't see why things shouldn't proceed smoothly.

I can't seem to find a good reason for you to go through the trouble of starting a tournament to help others with your tips, though. Why don't you just start an advanced 'how to get better' FAQ with some other players, if you want to help people get better?

I actually prefer spreadsheet scorekeeping. I mean, how hard is it for people to click a link? Same amount of reading as long as the SS is organized well. Plus I like that with a spreadsheet you can look at everyone's scores over the entire tournament, instead of all the records being completely erased every round (which is also bad if someone wants to look at the tournament a while after it's over).

It's pretty hard to balance 2 tournaments once one of them is past the AAA stage for you

**Scubasteve0110** · 01-12-2013, 10:19 AM

Will get better than this, its just the beginning is mad confusing. everything else is soo easy

Yeah , I do think that I screwed up big time. Well it was my first tourney and I know I can improve then. Considering the tournament is almost ending I'll just post the final round scores on the OP. My timing for the tournament was horrible with 2 others and all the problems I faced through winter break. I'll probably end up making a FAQ on tips and keep updating that with peoples suggestions. I just wanted to contribute to the community that I have been apart for 3 years. I love to teach and tutor people and see people get better.

**Scubasteve0110** · 01-13-2013, 11:18 AM

Sooo when does the last round start?

**Scubasteve0110** · 01-13-2013, 11:20 AM

Wait is this the last round??

**Garquillex** · 01-13-2013, 11:24 AM

We have one more. This round ends tonight at 7pm server time

**Scubasteve0110** · 01-13-2013, 12:07 PM

How many people make it to next round? 2 people?

**Garquillex** · 01-13-2013, 12:24 PM

3 for D2 according to the cutoff on the score sheet

**Scubasteve0110** · 01-13-2013, 12:28 PM

Well thats good, cause i refuse to ever play mercury lamp ever again. I hate that song now lmaooo

**Bobogoobo** · 01-13-2013, 04:14 PM

Are you going to submit a score, Garquillex? The OP says the round ends at 9pm server time, so five hours left. I still want to try to improve my score. And I'm not sure about the elimination structure, I always get confused when there's just a bunch of numbers without saying what they mean.

**Scubasteve0110** · 01-13-2013, 04:44 PM

Alright got a little better, its just the freakin beginning ughhh-___-

**sayuncle990** · 01-13-2013, 05:55 PM

4 goods and an average in the last 10 notes...

EDIT:

Wheeeee~~~

**Bobogoobo** · 01-13-2013, 06:17 PM

I finally FCed it but I got more goods. Well crap. 21992, are there three people advancing from this round or just two? I'm not sure if I can get under 10 goods...

**gold stinger** · 01-13-2013, 06:23 PM

**21992** · 01-13-2013, 06:45 PM

Sup guys, I might post the final round a bit late because I have piano lessons.

lol dude don't worry 3 slots for the final

Note: I've decided to give everyone credits that submitted for 2 rounds or more. Please note that everyone was in for the second round...

**Bobogoobo** · 01-13-2013, 06:48 PM

Well yay then. I can't do well at all on it anymore, as usual. Should be good unless Garquillex beats me at the last minute.
