New Years Tournament!
Welcome to justin_ator's New Year's Tournament, co-hosted by yo man im awesome! For the start of the new year, we figured we'd host a tournament to stir up some more competition out there, as practice for those still in the Official Tournament, and as a replacement for those who aren't! We hope you are as excited for this as we are! Here are the rules and information you will need to know! Please read all the points before entering, it won't take you that long! Rules/Information 1.) Minimal Sign-up Requirements - You must have a minimum of 150 games on your FFR account, spanning over at least 75 fully played songs. This is not only to ensure that alternate accounts don't raid the tournament, but also to ensure that we can make a proper placement based off of your level ranks. SIGN UP WITH YOUR MAIN ACCOUNT, or tell us the name of your main account if you're signing up on a less known account. We will contact a moderator if we think you're sharing an IP address of a well known account. 2.) How to Sign Up - Sign-ups are now closed. 3.) NO CHEATING. If at any point in the tournament we feel like you have used/abused any loophole, exploited any particular rule, played on someone else's account/had someone else play on your account, or have used other means to increase your scores, we will contact an administrator to verify your gameplays. We reserve the right to request video proof for any user at any time. 4.) Be respectful - To all other competitors in this tournament. Arguments will NOT be tolerated, and can result in immediate removal in the tournament. We reserve the right to remove any participant from the tournament at any time. 5.) Divisions -This will be a 6 division tournament, without A/B subdivisions. This is done to achieve larger divisions while getting those in the bottom of each division a chance to fight due to higher density within divisions. We will be basing decisions off of individual level ranks, recent gameplays, placements in the Official Tournament, and off of everybody in the tournament as a group. If you have any quarrels with placements, please take it up with either of us via FFR PM or via AIM. 6.) Submission Guidelines - Submissions must be either: -Screenshots: all screenshots must include the in-game timestamp/user name, and should not be cut off/modified for any reason. Replays will not be accepted on their own. Feel free to accompany your screenshot with a replay.Scoring and Eliminations This tournament will be scored using FFR's raw scoring system. For those of you who are new to tournaments, this is the score on the bottom of your game screen while you're in a song - it is also your score before any bonuses are factored in. This means that combo will NOT factor into your overall score. Simply the accuracy in which you hit the arrows. This tourmament will consist of 6 rounds, starting at minimal difficulty for each division and progressing upward in difficulty as the tournament goes on. At the end of every round, eliminations will occur (barring divisions less than 8 people) based on the users who receive the lowest raw score for that round. Those who do not submit for a round will receive a score of negative infinity on their song. If multiple people have a score for negative infinity on any round, they will be placed into a random number generator to determine eliminations. The first round will begin on January 1st, 2012 at 12:00:01 server time, and will conclude at 11:59:59 on January 7th. THE TWIST :twisted: -- there will be a twist in the tournament pertaining to score, but we aren't going to state what it is until the tournament is ready to begin! Rest assured, it is Wilson (iironiic) approved. :) Check back to this section when we near the start of the tournament! At this time, I can no longer change speedmods for users. I will be using the value that you posted when you joined. This is what the speed-mod portion was for. The twist is going to be a potential score bonus for anyone who wishes to experiment with their speedmods! We're going to be using a formula to determine a player's raw score for the song that they played. Values of speedmods (both the player's normal and what they used) are input into this formula, along with their actual Raw score. Based off of their performance, they can actually gain points by playing at a higher/lower speedmod! The formula looks as such: r+((|s1-s2|/.05)*[((0.001-(0.00005*(g/50)))*h))*.3] Where: r = Player's Raw Score s1 = Player's Typical Speedmod Setting s2 = Player's Used Speedmod Setting g = Number of Goods (rounded down) and h = the total possible raw score for that round's song [(~)*.3] = The .3 is ONLY for those using a lower speedmod. It looks complicated, but it's really not rocket science! Here is the explanation. Using a spoiler system to make things more manageable since it's a complicated order of operations deal lmao If for some reason this fails and things get ridiculous, I apologize. I tried to develop something that would work, and all I can do now is test it and see how things go. If it isn't working, we will be forced to revert back to normal tournament rules unless I can modify it to make things reasonable again. I ask that if that becomes the case, PLEASE be patient and understanding... You will be able to check your scores yourself, using a spreadsheet I will provide here. Due to the nature of this idea, if you wish to use different speedmods you will probably want to experiment to see what kind of scores you can get. Here I will explain how to do that. You can calculate scores for your own benefit, as well as to check my math (we're not perfect!), but you do not NEED to post them with your score unless you wish to. I'll be doing ALL scores myself (unless yo man does some as well), so posting them is simply for your guys' benefit. If I missed something, I will try to mention it shortly. Experiment with some scores and the spreadsheet for the next hour, and ask questions if you need to! Prizes/Donations Donations will be greatly appreciated. I'm going to kick off the tournament with 77,340 credits. Send all donations to justin_ator.

Re: New Years Tournament!
Elimination Structure:
SCORES DETERMINE 1st/2nd/3rd this round! What do these numbers mean? The highlighted number (blue) states the number of people in the tournament during a specific round, and the dash between each round represents eliminations. This is why the final column only has 1 person, the first place winner of that division! Round 6 THIS ROUND WILL CONCLUDE February 11th AT 11:59:59 PM SERVER TIME. D6: Rain [YMCK] D5: Kidney Stone D4: Dead and Direct D3: No Purpose Flour D2: Pwntendo D1: A Beautiful Storm Spreadsheet is found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...FpFY3gxSm91SkE Scores Spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...FpFY3gxSm91SkE - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Divisions |

Re: New Years Tournament!
In if I can get a computer to play on. Mind you I haven't really played in nearly 2 months. Anyways, I play on 1.75-1.9x but it could go as high as 2.2x
|
Re: New Years Tournament!
In since I'm not in the official anymore. 1.8 is what I typically use.
|
Re: New Years Tournament!
I'll say in... Although, a typical speedmod is kinda hard to point out for me.
My speedmod ranges from: 1.7-2.4 (depends on the day really) |
Re: New Years Tournament!
In (1.85x)
|
Re: New Years Tournament!
Updated the OP.
|
Re: New Years Tournament!
in on my .wc. account i use 1.75
|
Re: New Years Tournament!
re-updated. Also guys, if you use a range as wide as 8 Hour (1.7-2.4) give me a number that is kinda the most common. I don't need everyone to single in on one number (as I will typically take the higher end of the range you give me anyway) but if it's as wide a range as that I need some kind of central value.
|
Re: New Years Tournament!
lololol I can play all the way to 3.6x but as for scores purposes I use just about any of the 1.7x-2.4x
If I had to choose though... I'd say 2x is okay for majority files. |
Re: New Years Tournament!
Okay, that's fine. =]
|
Re: New Years Tournament!
I seriously only play on 1.85, only thing I feel comfortable with anyway.
And Jesus Christ, how the hell do you play on 3.6? |
Re: New Years Tournament!
Not like Fantasticone who AAAd an FMO on 4x.... but I can read and react quickly... plus I get bored a lot and like to mess around.
EDIT: Wait a min.. I just got to thinking... Are you going to be giving us specific songs with specific speed modification to use?! |
Re: New Years Tournament!
No, I will not be telling you what speedmod to use :]
|
Re: New Years Tournament!
In, also 1.875x is my mod now.
|
Re: New Years Tournament!
Could you change the speedmod range for me to 2.2x-2.3x?
|
Re: New Years Tournament!
I'll join. Lately, I've been playing at 1.9x, but i like to bounce around 1.85x-2x depending on the song.
|
Re: New Years Tournament!
Nice tournie, Justin. :) I won't be entering, but this looks nice!
Am I the only one who plays it at 1x? What is so special at playing say, 1.75x or 2x? |
Re: New Years Tournament!
