The First Ever Beat Down MetalAtlas Tournament!

[MetalAtlas]

Welcome to the the first MetalAtlas beat down! Now this is a tournament but it will be a little different then the normal tournament format. The main goal for me is to try and get back to the way I played before and maybe surpass that. So in theory, everyone will be playing against me.

ROUND 4 has begun and will end Monday, Sept. 17th at 11:59PM EST!

Sign-ups are closed.

Also looking for someone to help with picking the round's songs.

The Rules:
This will be a 6 division tournament depending on how many people I can get to sign up and the placements will be based off the official itself. The tournament will last 5 rounds each lasting three days going from midnight to midnight EST.
Also, unless convinced otherwise, this will be a normal combo tournament where both PA and combo matter, so do your best!
Now the idea is, I will play a song for each division. Since I am D3, D3 will be considered par. Now obviously, I'm going to do better in D1 and D2, but worse in D4, D5 and D6. So for each of those divisions will have a handicap.

Example:

So for D3 say I get a 4-0-0-0. The score to beat in D3 would be that. Anyone matching that weould get a score of (0). Anyone getting better woulg get +1, +2 etc for how much higher they were than I. There is now no elimination!! So if you don't do so good one round, you can try to make it up in another. For the other division, such as D2, say I AAA. The handicap might be 5 goods. So division 2 would need to get 5-0-0-0 or better to get points. The same rings true for higher divisions but in reverse. Say I play a D4 song and get a 25-0-0-0. The handicap might be -15 so D4 would need to post a score of 10-0-0-0 or better to get points. Handicaps will be determined on how a person of my division should do on a song versus how well a person of another division should do on that same song. Also, Anybody willing to help me determining the handicaps as well as help choose songs (because I'm not familiar with the newer stuff) would be greatly appreciated.

ALERT!
Since this looks to be a small tourney, we'll all be on the same point board. Obviously, people will still be playing their division songs, but with the handicap it should be fair.

IE- Division 5 Song PCS Score to beat- 35-0-0-0 Handicap -25. So real score to beat=10-0-0-0
bob bob gets 9-0-0-0. he would get 1 point for being the closest to me. RadiantVibe gets a 8-0-0-0. So he would get 2 points etc. The same would be true for each division. So the point board might look like this:

RadiantVibe +2
Panic4Me +1
ic0slayer +1
Bob bob +1
MetalAtlas-0
Hellsrequiem -1
Wargasm -1
Synthlight-2





For those of you who do not remember how to take a screenshot, here's some help:



Mac users:
- Command + Shift + 3: Takes a screenshot of the entire screen, and saves the image to your desktop. From there, you can upload it to a site like imgur.com and crop it if necessary.

Windows users::
- Press the print screen button. From there, open Paint (or another image editing program) and paste your image in Paint. If you'd like, you can re-size it within Paint at this time. From there, you can upload it to a site like imgur.com and crop it (if you haven't done so).

SCREENSHOTS SHOULD INCLUDE:
- The score being submitted
- Server timestamp
- If you are using a standalone, you will include your username located on the top right corner of FFR's window in your screenshot.


The velocity engine is great because it has the name and time already there, but anyone else using a standalone is gonna have to show that on their own.
Prizes!
Prizes will be credits of course. Everyone who makes it to rd 5 in their division will win credits. We have 10,000 from myself, and 90,000 from Panic4me.

[jductape]

Yup, i'd play!

[cedolad]

A chance to play one of the old '10 inters again? I'm in

[MetalAtlas]

I just want to point out that ive gotten some ideas from other competitors and we talked about having a point system in stead of an elimination. So for instance, I would be par. 0 points. Anyone who scored better than I would be +1 +2 etc any one who scored lower woud be -1, -2 etc. That way, everyone could play every round, and if they did bad one round, they could try to make it up in the next round. If any of that sounds good, please vote in the poll! Thanks Guys!

[HellsRequiem]

I'm in.

[cedolad]

I'm actually interested on how this would work. Since it's pretty much 1 v. everyone else, I think it would work great since there's a benchmark. But you never know until you try.

[Panic4Me]

I want a chance to beat you down, so I'm in.

I also vote yes to the point system. I feel like that would be a lot more fair for most players and it could help everyone improve if they get to play all of the songs and aren't stressing about being knocked out of a certain round.

[Aeroethimetic]

Might as well give it a shot. This looks fun, and good luck getting back up to speed. I'm curious how you can tell what Division your in though? If thats a stupid question sorry, And I'm voting with the point system to, I doubt I would make it past the first round. So rather that, and see how much points whether positive or negative I can come up with

[PrawnSkunk]

In! you going to get a spreadsheet going, or something?
