Let’s get this party started ya’ll!

Posted in FFR News, Flash Flash Revolution, Tournament on July 7th, 2009

Alright, you’ve been begging and pleading for us to get the show on the road, and we’ve listened!  The 5th official FFR tournament starts NOW!

For all the juicy details you can head on over to the official thread, but for the main page just a few things:

1. NEW TOURNAMENT DASHBOARD!

This time around, we have a new feature thanks to the amazing lightdarkness (that’s me!) – The Dashboard. It will be the center for information during the course of the tournament. It will provide you with info such as what round we are in, when the round ends, the songs for each division, and even the scores for each player in each division, etc. You can see for yourself

2. NEW Score submissions

The biggest change to this tournament is the way scores will be submitted – you don’t have to do anything! When you play the song for your division, the score will automatically be recorded to the tournament stats, which you can view on the dashboard. That means NO MORE SCREENSHOTS! I repeat – You DO NOT need to take a screenshot to submit scores for this tournament. All scores are automatically submitted, and it will only keep the highest score which means you can play it as many times as you want and it will only keep the highest score. This makes life a LOT easier for everyone.

As I said earlier, more information can be found in the official thread, so check that out, then head on over to the dashboard to view your division, and see what song you have to play!

Good luck to all!

-LD & Sprite

  34. I love the dashboard, gj LD :D

  35. Dashboard is awesome. Cant believe i got put in D1… Thought i deserved D2 but w.e. Great job on dashboard LD

  36. I do not know what division I’m in! I hope they didn’t do it by em–(checks profile)

  37. (groans) nope…

  38. O BOI D1. I was expecting this.

    Let there be faail!

  39. Where do you go to play the song you have been given??

  40. ???? Where do you go to get the song???

  41. Dashboard? Automatic score submission? I just wet myself. O.O

    I’ll do Novo Mundo later I guess, I’m too tired to do it now.

  42. Dashboard omg. you just invented like, the light bulb of ffr tourny

    D4, why in the names of photoshop image filters, raep’d i shall be.

  43. Wow, improvment and activity. good stuff guys :)

  44. Great job on the Dashboard. :D

  45. Holy sh*t i just made it to #1 in D1!!!!!!!!

  46. I can’t contain my excitement. I’m in D4. I might actually get past the first round o_o

  47. “You are not in this tournament.” ;_;

  48. LD completes me.

  49. The no screenshot submissions are SO fantastic.
    Excellent idea, guys.

  50. D1 just as i thought :P

  51. i never figured out how to sign up.

  52. @ BlInk You were probably late for sign ups. It lasted a week

  53. I like it! But two things…

    …doesn’t have the date the current round ends.

    …doesn’t have an elimination line. It has “green” for AAAs and “yellow” for non-played, but you don’t know where the elimination threshold is.

  54. N/M

    there is a cutoff point at the bottom of the chart. If your name is not on the chart, you’re below the elimination line.

    But will you be able to see your past progress, and anyone elses, after eliminations?

  55. Eesh, wrong again.
    I was right the first time. No idea where the cutoff line is.

  56. Just read the forum post, it says how many eliminations there will be at each round. Then see if you’re within the number.

  57. 8D

  58. I thought players in yellow get cut off…

  59. This is ePiC! Especially the auto-submitted scores and the dash.
    Go Lightdarkness !

  60. people in green have AAAd, people with no colour are safe, people in yellow are in danger of being eliminated.

    you guys should check the official thread as well. it has heaps of information.

  61. The yellow highlight starts the cutoff line.

  62. This is nice/

  63. I’m in D4…
    /me sigh
    I’m supposed to be in D3. Anyway, I’ll try best.

  64. MI4 REAL – Members with 0′s at the end of the week will be cut whether they are below or above the yellow line. Looks like division 1 will be shortened faster the first round since over half of the players have 0′s.

  65. :O i’d like to see the results :D

  66. thats freakin sweet

  67. Round 2!!

  68. Is it just me, or is the dashboard still showing JUST the results from last week? It’s 2 days into the 2nd week right now, and I’ve only seen the current scores for this week one time.

  69. I wish I could’ve edited my last post. But yes, I know what this weeks songs are, and yes I have been clicking on the dashboard (and refreshing the dashboard page) multiple times a day. But, for me, the dashboard shows this weeks songs and ONLY last weeks results.

  70. Me too. It once showed me the week 2 but it went away. It showed the people who got eliminated in red. And a bunch of other colors. It had yellow, light yellow, gray, and green.

  71. if you read the official thread is says “Round 1 will end Tuesday July 21st at 11:59PM EDT” so ya were guna have to wait a little longer i geuss…

    …not sure why they made the first round longer then a week, seems silly to me.

  72. They didn’t make it longer than a week, they made it exactly a week. But thanks to the awesome LightDarkness and Sprite-, the dashboard is in perfect order as well as the tournament. Thanks LD and Sprite- :)

  73. On my basement computer I could see how round 2 dashboard looks but not on my laptop.

  74. If you have IE7, you will not be able to view the new dashboard. upgrade to IE8 or get firefox or something similar. Round 2 ends on Tuesday July 21st at 11:59PM EDT. they mustve made an error when they said round 1.

  75. ^
    Fixed now

  76. I’ve been eliminated in the second round. Woohoo?

  77. ya’ll

  78. hi

  79. Gah! I REALLY do not like it when you get a Blackflag on a song, and 30 tries later, STILL no AAA.

  80. I’ve played that song around 70 times now, and I had blackflagged it at around the 20th-25th attempt.

    Guess I should have called it a night when I blackflagged it.

  81. I want to know how the f**k ChiefOlukOneHand has passed the first round in D1

  82. Sebdarkiss, everyone who played the song in D1 on round 1 was going to pass

  83. the cut off for D1 was 500 and we got cut to like close to 300 people cause no one played

  84. when is there gonna be new skill/normal tokens?Its getting kinda boring here since im not good enough to do tournaments.So now its like uhhhhhhhhhhh what to play thats new…hmmm

  85. For the PSH contest….Take a picture of a Pepsi Can next to a Fish.

    random I know….

  86. You might want to change the link to the official thread, because the old one’s removed and this link doens’t lead anywhere anymore

  87. hey! I got an AAA on mercury lamp in D2 and my name isn’t in green!! why!?!?
