Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality

FFR has been a game of rage ever since it was created. While being a fun and competitive game, it has also turned into an AAA fest. Those 5 goods you want to shave off aren't being removed, and you're stuck raging at trying to get rid of those last few goods. However, here comes a tournament where getting one, five, or even ten goods or more on a file won't screw you over. This tournament goes beyond the typical run-of-the-mill FFR file. These are batshit insane files that are made to require most useful attributes used in the game - speed, jacking, reading ability, and pattern observation. Combo based scoring is also something that can make scoring on a file ridiculously hard; here, you will be given these choices: get results based off raw score, get results based off combo based scoring, or both.

This idea was discussed between qqwref and I.

Submitting Scores

Depending on which scoring style you want to join, scores will be based off either raw score, combo based scoring, or both. For raw score, you get 50 points for a perfect, 25 for a good, 5 for an average, -10 for a miss, and -5 for a boo. For combo scoring, your combo gets multiplied by 1000, misses are -310 each, boos are -20 each, goods get multiplied by 275 and added, perfects get multiplied by 550 and added, and averages get multiplied by 55 and added. The engine that will be used in this tournament does not display the combo-based score, only raw score, so go calculate the score yourself before submitting to see if it's better than your raw score submission. I will manually calculate the combo-based score, but if it is worse than your raw score submission, I will use the formula of combo-based scoring on the raw score submission instead.

You can update your scores at any time before the round ends. Be sure to make a new post and not edit an old one since it saves a lot of time and frustration.

All submitted scores must be in picture form, and include the entire perfect/great/average/miss/boo count, and the server details/FFR info that can be found on the top-right corner of the FFR site. Make sure the score is from the current round, because older scores won't be accepted.

This is an acceptable screenshot.

Signups/Divisions/Eliminations
Your placement will also be based on how you do on harder files - if you don't have scores on some FMO/FGOs in FFR, then you will have to submit scores in this thread to ensure placement. There will be 2 divisions, with the top one being for only the God Tier players who wreck FGOs, and a few players that are able to AAA most FMOs. You can sign up at any point until the end of the first round. Feel free to suggest over which division you should be in, but I won't necessarily put you there.

After you have been placed in a division, you will not be able to move to the other division. Any complaining after it is set will not be tolerated in this thread. If you are iffy about a division placement, you can PM me about it or discuss over AIM (mine is reborndossar).

There are no elimination rounds in this tournament. If you fail to submit scores for two rounds, you will be eliminated. UPDATE 6/30/11 - No more eliminations or score penalties. The only "penalty" is that you are only able to submit one score if it's past the round deadline, so you can't post an improved score.

Starting Time

This tournament will begin at 11:59 pm Server Time on Saturday, June 11. There will be 10 rounds, each lasting three days. Hopefully that will be enough time for everyone to be able to get scores in. I'll keep my other post up to date with the end date/time of the current round.

Other Rules

1. No cheating. For instance, don't try to fake scores, don't hide your skills to get put in a way worse division, and don't have a more skilled friend get scores for you. The boo cap for the combo-based scoring rounds are put in place to prevent heavy mashers from having the advantage. Don't boo glitch, DS, or overlay.

2. Don't publicly complain about what divisions people are placed in. If you publicly complain about your own placement, you WILL be moved up. PM or IM me about it.

3. I have the right to change a score, choose not to accept a score, disqualify a player, and so on. If I do this and don't provide a reason, you are free to ask me for one; it might just be a mistake.

Prizes/Donations

At this point, everyone will receive credits (but in different amounts depending on performance, of course). Donations are also welcome and greatly appreciated, since this is my very first time running a tournament. Make sure to let me know if you send a donation in and I'll mention you here. Give credit donations to DossarLX ODI.

Tournament Spreadsheet Information

I will be posting scores in both divisions just so you guys know how I'm doing on these files since I created/made changes to most of them. My name and scores will be highlighted in yellow to indicate that my scores don't count towards the credit jackpot.

A box highlighted in blue means the best score that came from the round in the division. Points will be awarded to whoever does the best in their division on a round; these points will be used to determine if there is a tiebreaker at the end (Round 11).

If the numbers are in green, that means an AAA.

Red names mean players who have been eliminated due to not submitting for two rounds.

Boxes highlighted in orange mean that the player is late in a submission. The time late is specified.

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

I'm scared

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

Sorry about the ninja'd post.

In.

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

lol you didn't have to delete it I just don't know how you got in there b4 me XD

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

lol this is basically a D5+ tourney :( no love for us noobs lol
Oh well.

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

Not in (but I'm gonna watch). I've played a good portion of the upcoming files and I can safely say... get ready for some PAIN >:]

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

IN

IN IN IN IN

IN

now

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

There will also be a point system where the person who gets the best score will get a point. If at the end of the last round two players have the same amount of points, there will be a tiebreaker.

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

in for D1

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

Question: are these files going to be dumps?

?_?

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

Depends on what you mean by "dump". RATO is a technical dump.

These files aren't the LOLCOLORNOTE type files that you'd find in a midare pack or something, but they are very difficult and aren't going to absolutely nothing (although the final rounds are a different story....)

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

In for D1, Both combo and raw scoring :twisted:

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

Oh yeah, guys, unless you specify specifically which scoring style you want to be in (raw, combo, or both), I'm going to place you in both if you don't specify.

I'll update later since I gotta sleep now so night guys

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

Old Velo engine screenshot makes me cringe, in D2 raw.

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

D1 raw scoring plz.

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

In. Raw since it seems like hard files from you. And yeah, **** comboscoring.

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

Raw scoring please.

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

In! I'll take raw scoring.

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

rofl rofl epic concept.
I gotta work on speed. D1 combobased

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

I'll update this as soon as my upload speed gets back up.

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

d1 combo

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

In raw

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

Oh, I didn't mention this (figured it'd be implied for me), but raw scoring for me.

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

Also, just in case my posts become derped from a horrible connection speed loss, I have the backup .txt files of them. I have the placements for all of you so far.

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

I want in on this


edit: D1

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

combo based in

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

I guess raw, in please.

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

In. Raw. This might be a bad decision.

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

In combo

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

In. Playing both.

Question: Can 1 score be used for both raw and combo based at once?

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

Yes

In fact, the first score you post I will automatically count for both if you're doing both scoring styles.

However, if your score goes over the boo cap, I'll only count it for the raw score. The boo cap only matters for the combo based score.

Also, FINALLY could do a damn update. My upload speed was down the entire night.

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

In. D1, Raw scoring

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

How do you calculate the combo based score from that engine?

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

Use that formula

Also I'm really pumped for this tournament, signups are still open until the end of round 1 (which starts at 11:59 pm server time today) :!:

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

Or Doss can get net framework and use my program. :3

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

All I need is to make a C-based program that can calculate the combo based score when I enter in the numbers haha. It isn't that hard to do, I just need to somehow get Microsoft Visual to actually work on my laptop

When I make it, I can release it to make things easier for others too.

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

in both

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

in, d1 combo based

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

You can use this program I made a while back to calculate Raw and Total scores:
http://mzrg.com/js/stepmania/FFR%20compare.html

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

Wow, that's convenient for both raw-based and combo-based scores qqwref. Anyway, can't wait got the tourney to start =P

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

Well yeah Visual Studio is being retarded, so I'll go with qqwref's program.

qqwref is amazing when it comes to convenience, haha

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

Hell why not, I haven't played FFR in ages so maybe I'll join

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

That is true. Anyhow, the time is getting closer and closer for the tourney to start.

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

Updated. Rounds will be posted a little earlier because of my derp internet connection.

Signups are still open until the end of round 1.



This is an example of screenshots you wouldn't submit haha. My screenshots will mainly be like this, which is why I won't be counted toward the credit jackpot.

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

tournament's cancelled because dossar couldn't find any files that weren't boring

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

Also guys, the engine page is really laggy, so I provided the swf link on the same page. Use it on a standalone to reduce lag.

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

brutal x.x

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

I realized that. But even on the standalone it lags on the beginning of the file for my division and that screws up my average already -_-...

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

Let me see if I can add two seconds of silence to the beginning of the file so that doesn't happen. The beginning lag happens for me too.

Edit: Converting now, I'll try uploading in a few minutes.

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

My first attempt. Love the game that the music is from.

Edit: Much better..

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

Alright, I just fixed it. No beginning lag now. Clear your cache before playing again

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

combo please

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

gah, this chart is stupid early for me

(I can AAA this, btw)

EDIT:

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

Really sorry dude, but I can't accept this score. You didn't include the FFR stats. :\

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

This can be improvable. Though I can't believe that this is a B. I thought it would be at least an A or AA =|...

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

I'll accept that one for this one time - please don't paste the FFR stats onto the engine screenshot. You're also missing the timestamp.

The first post explains an acceptable screenshot.

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

will redo tomorrow

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

lmfao this is already horrendous, my score is sooooooooooooooooooooooooo messy

GOD DAMN IT DOSSAR I CAN'T EVEN AA DISREGARD, WHY AM I D2 D:

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

Mean Doss is mean. Why am I even in this division? ;_;

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

For those of you that were borderline, consider yourself lucky :twisted:

Also dammit Halogen haha

However, I think pmon's is an extreme case - he'll be moved down to D1. We discussed over AIM.

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

what's the BPM, just so I can laugh

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

247.17

Pretty precise shit amirite :?:

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

that sounds about right x.x

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

I refuse to post anything until I beat smitty's score, and I'm getting kinda close :twisted:

also doss, please harrass me on my wall if I don't submit because I have a feeling I'll get a fuckton better if I put a decent effort in this tourney

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

Improved score by a bit.

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

Haha, looks like my upload speed derped so I won't be updating right now. If your scores haven't been registered yet, keep in mind that your posts haven't been ignored.

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

AAAed Lazy summer days but didn't SS it the way Dossar wanted so I'll have to try again tomorrow.

EDIT: Original SS ---> http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...postcount=7233

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

I know I said I won't be able to play until 17th, but I just woke up, parents are asleep. So I'm only gonna give this a sightread shot, and see what happens.


Alright, sightread: I'll improve it later. Oh wait, I don't need to :twisted:

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

Thisss will do, I hope..

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

Haha nice one, All-Pro

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

c'mon, you of all people should know that jumpstream is nothing to me :p

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

You better watch out for me AJ :twisted:

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

we'll see :twisted:

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

hard to adjust for w7 and different keyboard.

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

Then you'll wreck the next round -_______-

Although you'll need much more than just JS to do well for the later rounds of this tournament :twisted:

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

In for both.

Could you explain this part, though?

So you're just saying you're taking the best score for each of our submissions, correct?

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

Yes. I only take the best score. The first score you submit will be counted for both raw and combo based scoring (if you decided to enter for both), but if you post a second score and it's better in one of the scoring styles, I will count it for that.

Re: Dossar's MiniMegaTournament of Brutality
 

FFS

Why can't you just post a screenshot lol. That doesn't even include your FFR stats or the server details. (In other words, I'm not counting it, sorry)
