Round 5
=======
[92] Maybe All This Time I Was Wrong
10-2-1-4
12th out of 16 (cutoff at 8)

Bowed out amongst a killer group that keeps posting low SDGs, and after scraping by so many times finally couldn't keep up. Mostly taken out by jumpjack transitions in the first half and consistency issues later on. Happy to have exceeded my original expectations for the tournament, as well as claiming bragging rights over fellow rivalry members.

Round 4
=======
[91] The Scales of Strangeness
6-0-0-0
T-13th out of 24 (cutoff at 16)

Really pulled this one out of my ass. I'd always been comfortable with pad patterns, especially 24th streams (s/o Tachyon), so this translated well. During my PB run, I managed to hold 2g up to the last 10% before nerves got the better of me. Was shocking to outplace this many high-level players.

Round 3
=======
[86] Kanon
2-0-0-1
T-19th out of 32 (cutoff at 24)

Pretty new to D6 at that point, so I didn't expect to make it that far in such a stacked division. A file riddled with offset problems and packed with color puke spells out "consistency disaster". The file itself wasn't that hard, just had to grind for that one run.

Round 2
=======
[86] Diamante Spectrasplosion
2-1-0-0
T-23rd out of 41 (cutoff at 32)

A lot of minis and chords, which played to my strengths, and the 32nd streams were kept short which let me get past them without much trouble. Ended up with a pretty solid score I was satisfied with.

Round 1
=======
[83] Le carnaval des animaux, Movement no. 14 "Finale"
4-0-1-1
27th out of 54 (cutoff at 41)

A bunch of somewhat troll trills to start off, but as it was the first round, I didn't expend a lot of effort getting above the cutoff and settled for the SDG.
