once all submissions are sent, i will compile them and send the pack to my pannel of judges. They will then evaluate using the scoring system showed below. All files will remain anonymous to everyone but myself, as I will be tallying up the scores and placing them to their respective artists.

How does one make stemania competitive? Make a league of course. Here's the deal. A set number of players are placed on a seed scale according to reputation and experience in simfile making. Those players are placed in a double elimination tournament bracket where each player is paired with another. Those pairs must face off each creating a simfile to present to a pannel of unbiased judges. Each author will remain anonymous until points are accorded and a victor is named. Here's how it works:


Aperson vs. Nemosta


simfiles submitted: tranzport/scream squad (at this point, the judges don't know which person made the file to avoid favoritism)

Criteria:

Song choice /5
fun/replay value /25
technicality /10
originality /10

each worth points for a total of 50. end of each round will look like this

Aperson (Tranzport) [35:32] Nemosta (Scream Squad)

the loser is sent to the lower bracket for a second chance. however, the winner from the lower bracket must win twice against the upper bracket winner to be able to win the championship finals.

The winner of the tournament will have the oppertunety to challenge a dark chancellor in a one on one iron simfile chef showdown. for this event a new pannel of judges will be chosen. if the challenger wins, he becomes the new dark chancellor. 1st 2nd and 3rd will also recieve credits (all i could think of really lmao)

At the end, The most notable simfiles will be sent to dark chancellors pack 2 where it will most likely be accepted.

each match will be done weekly to avoid delay. no submissions counts as a forfeit and the other player gets a BYE to the next round.

RULES AND CONDITIONS

-To participate, you cannot be a dark chancellor nor a judge (no **** jenius)

-All files submitted during the tourney must remain UNRELEASED. Failure to comply will result in disqualification

-Try to keep content original, as it will weigh on scoring (meaning dont step ageha)

-Files must be submitted to the mentionned e-mail with username within the time frame. Failure to do so will result in a forfeit.

-Files should preferably cater to spread audiences with difficulty higher than 1 dcp rating, but index files are accepted as long as the file remains fun.

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

Finally a creative tourny.

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

Singles only?

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

i would personally give 5 extra points for solo but this is for dcp2 so ye singles


sry bro

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

wow this is such an NTM situation. I can't step **** in an hour (which is the time I get four times a week due to stupidass "Internet probation"). grr

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

time to restep Keyboard Collaboration songs

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

Cool this happened


Aww I can't compete :(

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

hahahaha weekly

good luck guys, you'll need it

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

technicality --> expressiveness or something similar plx what do you think this is 2007

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

<-----------------lol

You must be very bored to start one other stupid project

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

I would like to sign up.

Also, I am going to donate all my credits. I have next to none, since I don't really play FFR anymore, but this is a cool idea, and a great way to promote new artists.

5 bucks says I go down in the first round rofl

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

Might try this but I've pretty much have been working on solo files and playing solo for the past week, I got some single files I can finish for this but I'm not positive I will get them in. Sign me up though I can give you the credits, I don't really play FFR much and I'm just playing in the Tournament.

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

In for the competition.

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

I'll sign up. I need more motivation to make files anyway. zzzz

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

I love your avatar Kommi
And maybe i'll sign up,i need to make some simfiles again

That's why your avatar is the biggest loser of Video Games history

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

wow, a lot of random people are actually going to for this.


Guess it's back to song hunting for me

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

I don't know if I should enter this...

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

I'm in this.

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

me too

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

Alright, fine, I'm in.

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

Me too.
I want to improve in this, I have improved a lot recently, but there are more things to learn.

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

yeah....yeah....i know

yes it is
thanks for yours comment





i got 37k credits to give if yours project is a successful one.

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

i can judge btw

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

Might as well join the band wagon. It'll give me an excuse to step more files.

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

bout time you posted it here
signing up
might as well start working on files cuz there's no way i'll finish anything on time otherwise

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

haha aight, in for jokes and maybe effort *badumbish*

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

yea i would suggest you start working on files now haha. i assume there will be 6 rounds minimum unless you get kicked out early on

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

i guess i will try this

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

I have decided that I will not participate in this as I have other plans for the files that i am currently working on.

With that being said, I would be willing to help judge if you need/want the help.

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

I'm totally in for this.

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

psycho if you got time on your hands it would be sweet to have you as a judge, seeing as how you're pretty knowledgable of what a fun file is etc.

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

That's Paris Hilton



I knew it

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

im dying

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

I wanna offer to judge, but since I don't play stepmania much anymore no one would consider me a great judge hehehe



I really wish this tourney involved something like:
2 people are given one song to step, and the better file moves on

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

But that could actually incite a bit of bias

for example giving Baq12 vs. random guy a Warmen song, Baq12 would most likely win. I'd kick almost anybody's butt if the song I was stepping was a Serenade song, and giving a DARK Phoenix file to Gundam is borderline handing him the win. so I'd personally disagree with that idea.

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

if this were to happen someone that isnt a judge would have to pm everyone a song and the participants wouldnt be allowed to tell anyone what song they are stepping that way the judges dont know who is stepping what and there cant be any biased judging

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

true dat

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

i wanna play all the files but dont want to be an official judge

ok

get on it

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

Ok i'll sign up haha

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

kil can be a guest judge for whenever he feels like judging

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

I'm thinking I'll join.

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

one more person to register and it'll be a complete tournament roster (16) and it would avoid the comp from getting to long/tedious.

you will all be placed on seeds 1-16. your number will place you here on this tournament bracket. look carefully to where you'll end up if you win/lose.


Upper bracket

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

ROUND 1 HAS STARTED



first post will be updated constantly with each round

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

this is the official image of this tournament



*not really

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

so we're not going to have like a theme for each round or

edit: wtf that edit came out of nowhere kil

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

i didnt edit anything dont make up baleful lies

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

its just whatever file you can submit. putting themes would limit submissions and probably discourage people



don lie u kno it

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

woah i'm 1 seed :O
so much pressure...

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

also we lied

you don't get auto-inclusion as a dark chancellor, but you do get to challenge one of us (haven't decided who or how to pick yet) and if you win you get accepted.

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

Dark Chancellor gym badge.

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

basically.

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

challenge stargroup he's the weakest. all he has is a level 22 pidgey at half health because he's too lazy to go to a pokecenter (it also has the pokerus watch out)

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

thanks kil, thanks

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

dont like it get off yer ass and go to damn pokecenter, not coming here telling bull****s to other ppl..

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

Level up!

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

all 5 files that i started are ****ing trash

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

this is the good one

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

that badge sucks

NECROS I'M CALLING FOR YOU

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

so i finished a file but it's so bad i can't get myself to look it over

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

Nevermind, didn't see that on first post.

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

What do the numbers mean?? :(

I finished two files, but one is just The Game of Love part 2 and the other one is a one minute long song at 90~ BPM. Brb stepping something that will actually be a good file.

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

dont say the files you're stepping ;ksefjrglefjsbsea

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

they basically mean kommi thinks i'm the only person better at making files than you in this competition
maybe i would be if this was a solo tourney

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

probably only 6th seed because i havent made jack **** for files, and I never choose songs that make great files haha

I really need to improve on my song finding skills

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

yes a lot

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

i didnt just base it on simfile exprience (which your solo sims prove you're better than 99% of this site) but also community experience as in how long you've been around




i have smg2 beta i've played second heaven ;)

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

Oh god I'm #16 damn. Just a big nobody rofl.

Good luck to me. 'specially if I'm against lurker oh ****

Are you gonna bundle the files together when the tournament is done?

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

lol that file

there's basically no place to go but up from mendes

Re: Stepmania Simfile Tourney
 

Uh-oh. I have nothing good to send to this. :(

Brb searching Galbadia Hotel hehe
