Tournament Rules and Overview:

-In this tournament, there will be six divisions: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Expert, Masters, and Guru. When you sign up, I will place you in one of these divisions based on your accomplishments in FFR--you cannot just "sign up" for any specific division, so don't even bother saying which division you want to be in. There is NO LIMIT to the number of spots in this tournament.

-To sign up, go to http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...ent/signup.php. Make sure you click the signup button on the page. Just going to the page alone WILL NOT sign you up. Posting in this thread WILL NOT sign you up.

-When the first round of the tournament starts and with each new round after that, I will announce the main song for each division. Your goal is to get and submit a higher score on your song than your opponents.

-There will be 8 rounds in this tournament, each one week (7 days) long.

-You must have at least 250 games played on 75 different, fully played songs to enter this tournament.

- In the event of a tie in a non prize round, all will go on. If there is a tie in a prize round, there will be a tiebreaker song. You will have an extra 24 hours past the end of the round to submit your score on the tie breaker.

- If you do not submit a score by the end of the round, you will be considered to have gotten a score of negative infinity on the song. Those who have a score of negative infinity when the round ends will be eliminated, regardless of elimination cutoffs.

- Don't bother trying to cheat; you'll be caught and immediately disqualified. Trying to secretly play in a lower division than you should be in by means of alternate accounts, or by any other means is CHEATING. Cheating will not be tolerated, and any evidence of cheating will result in disqualification. Also note that trying to bend the rules or trying to find loopholes will get you disqualified.

- We hold every right to ignore the entrance of certain individuals who we feel are more prone to the potential of cheating. If we say you can not participate, you can NOT participate. Our judgment on this is final and absolute.

- The end time of the round will be noted within the thread for that corresponding round. After that time, the round is over and no more scores will be accepted.

- Be respectful to staff, tournament hosts/helpers and other users. Users that are causing trouble may be removed from the tournament and even possibly given a ban at the staff's discretion.

- If you have an issue with a placement, whether it be your own or someone else's, please PM me about it. We really don't need arguments in the thread and I know mistakes happen, we're not perfect. I'm available through PMs on the site or on Skype username Saphira251.

*We reserve the right to remove or move a user any time during the tournament.

*If you would like to contribute a prize to the tournament we certainly do appreciate it. But due to there being issues with prizes being given out in the past whatever your offer has to be given to me before it is listed as a prize so that I can distribute it at the end of the tournament. Please PM me about any prizes you'd like to add.

Good luck and have FUN!
