Post-FFR 16th Official Tournament + Batch Open

Posted in Flash Flash Revolution on August 26th, 20237 Comments »

You can also check the 16th Official Tournament thread for more info.

We have finally come to the end of FFR’s 16th Official Tournament! 94 songs released involving 28 new Musicians, contested between 252 players for the best score, over 2 months of tournament-filled, edge-of-the-seat competition.

We will be working tirelessly to ensure that all the prizes and awards are distributed to the participants of the 16th Official Tournament. However, I want to take this opportunity to express my immense gratitude once again to the OT committee and went through tons of submissions meticulously fine-tuned the song choices and difficulties for this tournament. The magnitude and quality of this event would simply not be achievable without their contributions.

Lastly, a heartfelt thank you to everyone who took part in the tournament, engaged in discussions, and joined us for the previews. The warmth and camaraderie of this community are beyond compare, and I feel truly fortunate to be part of such a friendly and supportive group.

Let’s also give a round of applause for our podium finishers for each division this Official Tournament!

Also a short reminder that if you did participate in the Official Tournament and you feel like you haven’t received your prizes by let’s say, Thursday, August 31th, 2023, then please post in the Official Tournament thread or contact Velocity directly through DM’s and we’ll work on getting it resolved!

In unrelated news, batch submissions have opened up with a Special Round Table Batch with more information found in the thread here.
