As an additional point: the self-improvement tournament also stipulates that there will be no late registrations.

This means that any users wanting to enter any tournament will have this as the closest option, with no opportunity to do anything else in the immediate future.

Re: Official Tournament 13.5
 

Another tag-team post by you two lovelies whenever someone questions the decision-making, one response is more than sufficient.

If this was an unofficial tournament it would be much different and I do stand by what I said... we had an OT 3 months ago. Call it 13.5 or whatever but this is clearly a project borne out of boredom and a way to give out free tokens. The latter detail being the main reason why myself and likely most of the other users are signing up.

Running haphazard official tourneys like this lessens the exclusivity of the event tokens and is a bit of a slight against the users who had to work hard to earn them.

Re: Official Tournament 13.5
 

Man, people are never happy are they? "there's not enough ways to get the tokens" is what I've heard most often. We were planning on doing more tournaments, have been for a while. We used to do a TON more events too that allowed people to earn event tokens. We also have it to where users can even have tokens given away in their events if approved, and that's been in place for a long time.

The point is to engage the community and keep people wanting to play. We have a LOT more people that have come in from other communities as well who haven't had the opportunities over the last 18 years to earn some of this stuff.

Also, it's not "haphazard" I was already planning this before the other even ended.

Re: Official Tournament 13.5
 

It's hard, nay impossible, to keep a site with 100's of active users all happy all the time. I'm sure you know that all too well lol

In fact this is probably the first time I've really made an issue out of anything. For the most part the OT's are organized very well. This one just feels forced, cheapened in a way.

I suppose we will see how good the tourney files are!

Re: Official Tournament 13.5
 

Well, a lot of people are excited at the idea of a hybrid tournament with a mix of old and new and I am as well. I've wanted to do it for a while because doing all new files results a lot of times in us having to force things in slots that don't always work well. At the end of the day it's meant to be fun and a way to give out some more prizes. Especially now that I can toss physical prizes in here and there (I just need to make sure I can afford the shipping) since I make the stuff myself.

Also wasn't meaning it to sound like a you cause issues all the time thing, just a general "man I can't win no matter what I do." All i wanna do is engage the community and have some fun.

Re: Official Tournament 13.5
 

If you have issues with it being a free token grab, stop being a gate-keeper. They're not meant to be that horribly exclusive. Just hard to get.

That said, Kayla and Aj run solid tourneys every time, and while I have harsh opinions on them, even I can't argue that without lying my ass off. It'll be fine. Hope the tourney goes well you two.

Re: Official Tournament 13.5
 

YES YES YES in.

Re: Official Tournament 13.5
 

This is my first tournament, so I'm excited to join! What does a typical format look like, either from a player's perspective or a judges?

Re: Official Tournament 13.5
 

Glad to have ya! Do you mean like what difficulty range you'd be looking at? Otherwise, most of it should be answered for you in the main post. The short of it is a new song is chosen each week for each division, you play your song and get the best score you can until that round is over. All scores are automatically recorded into the dashboard. :)

I appreciate this

Re: Official Tournament 13.5
 

I've been super inactive, any chance I can go down to D5? I likely won't win there anyways. Anyways, IN.

Re: Official Tournament 13.5
 

Working my ass off on the simfile judgment underbelly to see if we can maybe get a nice set of new files ready for the tournament. Who knows, maybe I will get 100 or more judgments out before tournament start so we can have all new songs.

Not saying it will happen, but trying. Could be a situation where there just isn't suitable OT files because there isn't necessarily a specific OT batch for this.

Re: Official Tournament 13.5
 

Signed up! I'm so in.

Re: Official Tournament 13.5
 

I'm glad I can finally preticipate in a full tornement without getting distracted by life

Re: Official Tournament 13.5
 

Gonna grind to 500 games before signups end and get rocking on this!

Re: Official Tournament 13.5
 

If I can get to round 3 this time I'll be content. Just trying to see if I can show progress over the past few months at this point. Been 4 years since I've been able to get low D6 scores. XD

Re: Official Tournament 13.5
 

This should still be a fun tournament.

Re: Official Tournament 13.5
 

I remember one, and only one. If I recall correctly, it was the first time you made preview videos too.

Re: Official Tournament 13.5
 

Les goooo

Re: Official Tournament 13.5
 

I'm talking before the DF site.

Re: Official Tournament 13.5
 

Oh. Yeah, I don't remember much of FFR BC (before crash) except for Megane De Ne! being my arch-rival due to kicking me out of 2 tournaments, and rolling around D2 with kmay, funmonkey54, and one other person; it was always the 4 of us competing against each other.
