    [Concluded] ATTN All Sandbagging Enthusiasts!



    I remember when things used to be simpler for me, when it always seemed like I was the one leading the pack, making the pace for others to follow. Time was always on my side too, helping me hold down the competition when my scores were more achievable. Now though it looks like time has betrayed me, closing off the gates to fresh air on the surface. It’s so hard to swim with these sandbags tied to my body, too hard. I can’t fight the weight any longer, it’s so tiring. Maybe if I just close my eyes, take a deep breath, and fall asleep, things will be better. The stinging in my eyes will fade, the disappointment will fade, everything will fade.

    Suddenly a gate at the bottom begins to open, draining the waters in the room. Is this a hallucination, am I beginning to lose my mind? Regardless of what I thought though it felt real, and I’ve never been so happy to be gasping for air in my entire life. Two people come running towards me sounding rather concerned, my eyes are too blurry to make out anything about them as they approach. One of them finally speaks, “I think he’s alright, we came just in time then.”
    “There was a grave error with placements”, the other person nervously cleared their throat, “You’ve been one division too high this entire time!” This was news to me, news I certainly wasn’t going to contest at this point. The first person finally speaks to me, “We know the first couple of rounds are a bit pointless for someone of your skill, so we’ll have you play catch up from qualifying for the quarter finals and up.” They remove the bags from my feet, hand them to me, and then toss a warm towel over my back to stop my ever growing shivers. I don’t know why it took them this long to correct their mistake, all I know is I am going to make sure this time, I end up on top.

    Objective
    * Post a score in this thread that qualifies you for the Official Tournament rounds for the division below yours.
    * For each qualifying score, you will be rewarded with an entry into our prize draw!

    Rules
    * You must be signed up for the 10th Official FFR Tournament.
    * You may not submit scores that were recorded before the contest started.

    * You may not post a qualifying score for the semi-finals/finals if you have not posted a qualifying score for the previous round.
    * No cheating. I think that covers all the loopholes.

    Prizes
    There will be 8 winners in total. Winners will choose a prize in the order they are drawn.
    * 3x Physical FFR “All Skill” Token (+ free shipping worldwide)
    * 5x Your choice of a $20 Steam/Amazon/PayPal gift card (in your country’s currency).

          D5 probably has the easiest easy that was easy easy.

          Also is this just easy or am I missing something.

          Also I'd lose in D3, which is hilarious.

                That all depends on which divisions have been slacking ! I'd like to give anyone who missed out on a token a chance to grab one now.

                  Fairly confident these will successfully sandbag me into the D4 finals.
                  I can improve them if needed.

                  btw Run Run Run is basically Goblin x0.9 rate rofl the files are so similar feeling

                    How is "D0" determined?

                    10th Official Tournament – D1 – 18th (eliminated in round 4)
                    11th Official Tournament – D2 – 21st (eliminated in round 4)
                    13th Official Tournament – D2 – 36th (eliminated in round 1)
                    Revenge of the Drowned – D1 – 6th (eliminated in round 6)
                    15th Official Tournament – D2 – 13th (eliminated in round 4)

                        A sophisticated algorithm that involves serious mathematical skills.

                        I roll dice in ThirdStyle chat.

                          Huh, perhaps I'm just confused, but I'd think the better way to determine a sandbagger is to get a passing score on the song of the division above you.

                          ie; D5 must blackflag Cold Heart, D4 must get 5-2-0-1 or better on Accelerator, etc;
                          The above post has a 50% chance of being useless. Potentially. Maybe.

                          BEST AAAs: WANDERLUST, Pandora, Necropotence, Mourning The Lost, Eradication, Feldschlacht
