Official 2006 FFR R1 Tournament!
Hi! Welcome to the Official 2006 FFR R1 Tournament! The one and only Shashakiro will be organizing this year’s tournament and as such, will not be eligible for competition. This tournament is for players of any and all skill levels, from the barest beginners to the most seasoned veterans. It’s free to join, and there are actual cash prizes for the winners! $250 in prizes to be exact!
Sign up for the tournament by posting in this thread. To be eligible for the tournament, you must have played at least 150 games of FFR. There are no other signup restrictions, except for one: if you have more than one account, please sign up with your main account only (i.e. the one you use the most).
Signups will end on Sunday, September 10, at 11:00 PM eastern, and the first round will start when the thread for the first round is posted.
(read more in this news story for details or in this official thread HERE.)

Tournament Rules and Overview
In this tournament, there will be three divisions: Beginner, Advanced, and Expert. When you sign up, I will place you in one of these divisions based on your accomplishments in FFR–you cannot just “sign up” for any specific division. There are 128 possible spots in Beginner, 48 spots in advanced, and 16 in Expert–192 spots total. If all the spots aren’t filled, I’ll determine what the numbers for each division will be and use those.
When signups are over, I will determine seed numbers for the top players in each division. These players will simply be guaranteed not to play each other in the first few rounds of the tournament. They get no other advantage.
When the first round of the tournament starts and with each new round after that, I will announce the main song, the tiebreak song, and the matchups for that round. Your goal is to get and submit a higher score on the main song than your opponent.
-You can only play the specified main song for that round (assuming the tiebreaker is unnecessary).
-When you think you have a score you want to submit, take a screenshot of it and send it to me via forum PM or email at shashakiro@yahoo.com. If you don’t know how to take a screenshot, follow these steps:
1. Press the Print Screen button on your keyboard.
2. Go into Paint (Start>Programs>Accessories) or another imaging program and hit Ctrl-V, which should make the screenshot pop up on the screen.
3. Save the screenshot somewhere in your computer.
4. Go to an image hosting site, such as www.photobucket.com or www.imageshack.com, and upload the screenshot from your computer.
5. Send me a link to the screenshot via forum PM or email.
-You can submit any number of screenshots to me. I will only count your last one. Do not submit any scores that are lower than previously submitted scores, or you will be credited with the lower score.
-Your screenshots must be from some time after the round starts. This means that you cannot submit a screenshot of a score you got months ago, or even the day before that round starts. If you are caught submitting an old screenshot (and you WILL be caught if you try) you will be immediately disqualified.
-If you and your opponent both get a perfect score for the song, I will put the message “***AAA TIE–PLAY TIEBREAKER***” next to your names in the matchups list, which means you two must play and submit scores for the tiebreaker song as if it was the main song. If you and your opponent are tied at some point without a perfect score, the message will be “***UNDER AAA TIE–IMPROVE SCORE OR PLAY TIEBREAKER***”, which means that you can still improve your score, but if neither player improves their score before the round ends, scores from the tiebreaker song will determine the winner.
-If you do not submit a score by the end of the round, you will be considered to have gotten a score of 0 on the song. If there is a tie of two scores of 0, or if two players tie on the tiebreaker song, a coinflip will determine the winner of that round.
-Don’t bother trying to cheat, you’ll be caught and immediately disqualified. Using “secret arrows” and getting a higher combo than should normally be possible is considered cheating unless specified otherwise (I’ll make it very clear if I decide to use the song where this could be a confusion). It’s also cheating to somehow try to secretly play in a lower division than you are placed in. Cheating will not be tolerated, and any evidence of cheating will result in disqualification. Also note that trying to piss me off by trying to bend the rules or trying to find loopholes will get you disqualified.
-The time at which the round ends will be posted when the thread for that round is posted. After that time, the round is over and no more scores will be accepted.
After each round ends, I’ll tally up the scores and post the results of who won, who lost, and the statistics of each score for each player at the start of the next round. Note that losing once does not necessarily eliminate you from the tournament–I’ll make it clear who is still in the tournament when I post the results. It is impossible to lose twice in the tournament and not be eliminated.
At the end of up to seven weeks, there will be one winner from each division. The division winners will win the following prizes:
Expert: $100
Advanced: $80
Beginner: $70
—————————————————————————————-
Well, that’s it! Hope you have fun playing! Remember, posting in this thread means that you’re signing up. I’m not going to bother un-signing people up, so don’t post unless you’re sure you want to sign up.

The signups ended a long time ago. He said so in one of his post. The slots filled up much faster than expected so he had to cut the time to sign up short, hence the locked thread. Only the people on his Uber-God list can still enter now
