D2 Fill in











D3











D4 Fill in

[TheToaphster]

Alright here's the dealio. Ruf isn't showing up, which means Team Mostly Downscroll is looking for a new D5 member (Sorry ruf if you read this). Due to this, we had both our D4 player (IHNN) and our D6 player (myself) go through the 5 songs for D5, and show exactly why it is important to not let players in a certain division cover for anyone who is in a lower division. Because of the strange rule put into place regarding this situation, we would like to know which set of scores would be more fair, or how these two sets of scores could be made fair. This feedback can be from DDR or anyone else who cares to comment on the rule.

Grizz, you can't fill in for D2 as D4, and that d3 fill in exemplifies why allowing higher division substitutions is a bad idea: it's now better to have no D3 player and have the D4 player be competing with the other D3 songs...

apologies for the replays, only grabbed them instead of screenshots

[grizz13114]

@Ihavenoname248 I know D4 can't fill in for D2. Im in D3 in the tourney, so i can fill in for D4 and D2. The D3 scores were mine

[grizz13114]

You aren't the only one playing a division under

[Ihavenoname248]

[9:38 PM] TheToaphster: oo Grizz is D3 for the tourney
[9:38 PM] TheToaphster: that makes it technically allowed
[9:39 PM] IHNN: And another perfect example of why it shouldn't be
[9:39 PM] TheToaphster: ^
[9:39 PM] IHNN: You have high D3 at start to mid D4 by this point
[9:39 PM] IHNN: Competing with low-mid D2 players

Those scores are a perfect set of why playing up a division is fine- cover for someone not there, have a better performance than no scores. Playing down a division is unfair, as it makes it better to have everyone play down a division to get an easier set of songs, in turn making the round entirely about which D7 player gets the best set of scores.

If you rule that you can't cover for someone active to patch that, then it's better for some players to literally not play and be covered by someone better- probably D2/4/6/7 playing 1&2, 3&4, 5&6 and 7. It's better to have half the team inactive than the entire team active under these conditions.

edit: And I might be D5 on the site but D4 for the purposes of this tournament, but I have a grand total of... 2 scores that are solidly D5, 3 that are getting there, 3 right on the edge, and then everything else is D4 tier. I'm pretty clearly high D4/low D5 with a couple outliers bumping me to D5. Your entire top 15 (and then some!) are firmly D4, so it's a little different circumstantially.

[grizz13114]

Yup, it's not fair but that's the rule and you gotta do what you gotta do to survive

[FirstMaple8]

[DDRNGGin]

Grizz, you are aware I stated either/or, correct? Either/or does not mean both. You can only cover for either D4 or D5, given that you are/were D3. I would recommend for you to keep the D3 and D4 scores; however, I do want either your D2 player to play the songs, or your D1 player to cover for the D2 player.

[grizz13114]

Well i dont really know what i should do at this point. Everyone is afk and i can't get people to submit scores

[CarrotCake94]

Here are my scores for this round.

[DDRNGGin]

Really, to be honest, if the whole "afk bug" thing keeps going and significantly lowers participation, I may have to end the tournament abruptly and return all donations to those whom donated to the tournament.

[Ghost_Medley]

just to throw in some things last minute, here are two scores for d6 and two things for d7 in the case that walrusizer submitted nothing
