Rivalry Rules, Information, Score Submission and Buy-Ins

Rules:
To keep things safe and simple, we keep certain FFR site-wide rules within the Skype group as well.
The Skype Group is mainly a means for convenient communication and random chit-chat. Please be respectful.

DO NOT spam;
DO NOT post pornographic or graphic content;
DO NOT post offensive remarks toward other site users;
DO NOT post private information regarding other users without their consent;
DO NOT post offensive remarks about race, religion, sex, nationality, sexual orientation, etc...;
DO NOT disrespect staff members / Uncivilly argue with staff members / Impersonate staff members.

Note: Common sense is also a rule. If you are simply being an inept squid, you may be punished for it.

If you do any of these things, you will be kicked from the Skype group for a certain amount of time.
Depending on how serious the infraction is, the time you are banned will be determined by the rivalry staff member.

*quoting and posting someone else's comment that caused the infraction will also gain you an infraction of your own.*

~ Scores are to be posted either in this thread, or PM'd through FFR, or through Skype pm -> (Send links to a Rivalry Staff member)

If you fail to follow these guidelines to submit the score properly, you score will not be recorded.

NIA Spreadsheet.

[snlrock2]

I was playing the song GO! and the song is noticeably off. I'm not sure if its just my computer but if anyone has this problem, can you tell me what offset? I've been messing around and the closest i got to was -0.13.

EDIT: Not the best but i found it to be around -0.1. Still not exact but you'll just have to play around with it.
