[Tarrik]

I put some hard songs on my engine which i plan on whoring. I've never taken a tourney completely serious before. Not even the official lol .. I plan on actually trying this one ;p

[noname219]

Also, making the change for Crazyjayde now.
I *am* a little hesitant, as it's really weird to have someone with 3 goods on Reality in D3B lmao

4,105 	12 	Reality 	510,545 	563	228	91	39	236	150 	2

?

EDIT : I'm trying to find a way to rank every participant based on their level ranks. If it turns good, I'll post it. Actually nevermind, it's too complicated for nothing.

[Zakvvv666]

Unless they did their best on every song in the game, that won't turn out right, it would put some high level players in low divisions

[hi19hi19]

Oh oops I was probably looking at my own levelranks when I typed that lmfao
I had both of them open at the same time and was thinking about my own FGO scores when I meant to mention one of his.

DONT MIND ME >_<

EDIT- from the looks of it I think I wanted to mention his surprisingly clean FFLBF attempt, clearly not tracking

[PriestREA]

I think I'd like to challenge D3A if that's possible

[noname219]

EDIT- from the looks of it I think I wanted to mention his surprisingly clean FFLBF attempt, clearly not tracking

Well, his PA on this song is equivalent to mine, and we are in the same division, so that's fair I guess.

Okay, I can move you up. I like the enthusiasm >:)

EDIT- Done.

[Hateandhatred]

One more position up please =(

If you insist

EDIT- done. That really helps even out D3 subflights too

Thanks! I believe they're all slightly better than me, even though I FINALLY have something decent to play with (previous keyboard = shit), so it's gonna pump me up for improvement.

EDIT- Done.

Thanks! It's my first tournament, so moving up into a higher subdiv will help towards my goal of a skillboost

How this thread has 52 pages is beyond me. But uh, in >.> Not sure I'm fully committed right now, but we'll see how it goes.

All the hype leads to more posts. I predict a 100+ page thread come the end of the tourney.

[hi19hi19]

No bottom page.
I am not okay with this.

Yay Alloyus joined! I'll add you into all the spreadsheets and stuff in a moment, but you're obviously D5B.
Anyway, we're startin' this shit off a few hours early!

IMPORTANT:
Don't forget to check your division placement, as it might have changed.
Also note that the first four divisions all have songs with very similar names, make sure you're playing the right one!
You can find these files in genre 8 on the Dossar Tournament Engine.

Round 1
Theme: Nikolai Kapustin
About the theme:
Nikolai Girshevich Kapustin (Russian: Николай Гиршевич Капустин), born November 22, 1937, is a Ukrainian composer and pianist.
Kapustin studied piano at the Moscow Conservatory, and during the 1950s he acquired a reputation as a jazz pianist, arranger and composer.
His compositions blend the styles of both classical virtuoso pianism and improvisational jazz.
This guy is a genius and he is an inspiration to me as a pianist, so I figured I would do a round featuring his amazing music.
All of these files are to Kapustin performing his own compositions.


D1
Prelude Op.53 No.3
Artist: Nikolai Kapustin pf. Nikolai Kapustin
Steps: hi19hi19
Difficulty: 6
Length: 1:30
Max Combo: 287
Framers: 0,0,0,0,0

About the file: A nice slow file with some interesting rhythmic variations and a few small fast burst sections.



D2
Prelude Op.53 No.11
Artist: Nikolai Kapustin pf. Nikolai Kapustin
Steps: hi19hi19
Difficulty: 8
Length: 1:58
Max Combo: 592
Framers: 0,0,0,0,1

About the file: The file switches from 16th to 24th rhythms frequently, plus a handful of challenging grace notes.



D3
Prelude Op.53 No.19
Artist: Nikolai Kapustin pf. Nikolai Kapustin
Steps: hi19hi19
Difficulty: 10
Length: 1:15
Max Combo: 692
Framers: 0,0,0,5,15

About the file: A nice peppy file with swing rhythms, and some medium length 16th streams.
I could have layered this a lot more (especially that... obvious omission at the end) but I am happy with how it turned out as a nice D3 file.



D4
Prelude Op.53 No.17
Artist: Nikolai Kapustin pf. Nikolai Kapustin
Steps: hi19hi19
Difficulty: 10
Length: 1:31
Max Combo: 913
Framers: 0,0,0,12,16

About the file: Mostly a VC swing file with some interesting straight rhythms thrown in, plus two very fast 24th bursts.
As for the difficulty rating, this was a hard call between very high VC and FMO, but those bursts pushed it over the edge for me.
EDIT- After a few people have responded I have lowered this to a VC.
This file is honestly easier than I anticipated this round, but I'm not concerned because D4 ramps up fast the next few rounds.



D5
Concert Etude Op.40 No.3 Toccatina
Artist: Nikolai Kapustin pf. Nikolai Kapustin
Steps: hi19hi19
Difficulty: 12
Length: 2:13
Max Combo: 1586
Framers: 0,0,1,216,178

About the file: None of Kapustin's Jazz Preludes really seemed to fit a D5 file so I had to delve into his Concert Etudes, haha
This file is all jacks and jumpspams with difficult transitions. Stepped as close to the sheet music as I could get it.
D5 has by far the hardest file this round relative to the skill level of the division- I kind of overshot here but eh, it's D5.
Might as well start the meat grinder right away in round 1



ROUND 1 FILES DOWNLOAD LINK

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Side Game: Geography

As you can see, the files have backgrounds.
Each background is an image of a location in the world- for this side game, it's your job to name where in the world each file's background image is from!
I have darkened the images significantly so that they don't get in the way of the arrows, but if you download the files using the link above you will find the original image in high resolution in each folder for your viewing pleasure.

Credits will be awarded based on how much information about the landmark you can give me: I'm looking for the country it is in, the general location within that country (for example, the county/region or a nearby town), and the name of the landmark. Many of these have multiple names and I will accept any that are commonly used.

Let's have an example:

For this image you would mention that it's in the USA, on the Arizona/Utah border, and is known as "The Wave"

Please PM your answers to me. Do not post any answers or hints in this thread.
You can submit answers for every division's background image, not just your division.
I'd prefer if you sent all your answers at once, as well.

Credit payouts will be determined after the round is over.
The more people who submit correct answers, the less everyone will get overall.

I am aware there are numerous ways to cheat this. I'd like to ask that you not use them.
I am hoping this doesn't get out of hand but if it does, nobody is getting any credits.
