Official Tournament 13.5
Welcome to the Official Tournament 13.5! Many of us are still stuck at home during all this COVID craziness, so I figured why not do another Official Tournament? Why 13.5 and not 14? Well this will not have all the new content like an official tournament will, but some will get mixed in here and there occasionally ;). The prize pool will also be a little bit smaller, but we will still be giving away the top 16 and top 8 tokens so here's an extra chance to snag those! Please read carefully. I. HOW TO SIGN UP CLICK THIS LINK HERE: http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...ent/signup.php Signups are open until Oct 26th, 10:59pm SERVER TIME. Your name will not show up on the dashboard until you are placed into a division, so please do not worry if you don't see it right away. We'll let everyone know when we have everyone placed. II. TOURNAMENT OVERVIEW/INFORMATION This tournament is scheduled to start on October 28th at 10:59 PM server time. There will be eight divisions in this tournament – Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Expert, Master, Guru, Legend, and Godly. These divisions are typically addressed by their numerical order, with D1 being Beginner, and D8 being Godly. Upon registration of the tournament, you will be placed in a list with all other players that have signed up to the tournament, and will be placed accordingly based off of your overall skill and accomplishments in regards to the game. You will not be signing up for a particular division – your division placement will be handled internally. Keep in mind, there is not a limit to the number of participants in this tournament, or the number of competitors within a given division. However, large divisions will see larger people cut in earlier rounds. Scores will be automatically recorded to the tournament dashboard LOCATED HERE. This is a real-time tool that displays scores which opponents have obtained during the current and previous rounds, and it is color coordinated according to your status in the round (and in the tournament). All scores listed in the dashboard are based on unadjusted (raw) scoring. III. TOURNAMENT RULES In order to be eligible for participation, your account must have 500 games played, with 150 unique songs FULLY played. If you do not meet this requirement, your name will be removed from the participant list, and you will not receive a division placement. Please ensure that you meet these requirements before clicking the signup button! This tournament will be eight rounds long, with each round lasting a week. Every division will receive their own song, every round, and there will be a specified number of people advancing to each round, dependent on the division’s size. If ties happen in such a way where more competitors advance than are specified for the given round, one of two situations will occur: - if the tie occurs before a prize round, all people involved in a tie will advance. - If the tie occurs during a round where advancing means you receive a prize, a tiebreaker will be played. Tiebreakers last 24 hours. If you do not submit a positive score above 0 by the end of the round, you will be eliminated. Late scores will NOT be accepted under any circumstances, because it is an elimination tournament. If for any reason a score does not record, take a screenshot AND save a replay after you have restored connectivity. That way, I can definitively verify that you did obtain that score. I will not be adding scores without this form of proof. It goes without saying: CHEATING IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN. Anyone caught cheating in this tournament will receive a minimum punishment of forum banishment, and will be considered for more severe punishment. As mentioned in the FFR forum rules, using a bot or trainer is grounds for score removal, and other implicit methods of score boosting like account sharing will result in further reprimand. Do not try to circumvent rules with loopholes. You may not use an alternate account in an effort to be put in a lower division. Chances are, if it’s questionable, it shouldn’t be done. In addition to this -- if you have cheated in previous tournaments, I reserve the right to deny your entry in the tournament. Decisions are final, and if you are told that you are not allowed to enter, you are NOT allowed to enter. Be respectful to everyone involved in the tournament! Arguments with tournament staff or with other users will not be tolerated. Use this time to have a good time with other competitors, and bond in the spirit of competition. If you happen to have any issues with placements, do not post them in any threads. Instead, send a private message to me via FFR, or send me a message on Discord at Azlynn #4286 I will do my best to respond to everyone in regards to everything. Continual disregard of this rule will result in removal from the tournament. IV. Prizes If anyone is interested in donating prizes, you are more than welcome to do so (as it has occurred in the past). However, prizes need to be confirmed by me before being listed on the OP as an official prize, as it needs to be ensured that they are received. If you opt into providing a prize, confirm with me, and do not deliver, you will be severely reprimanded. View prize information by clicking the spoiler. V. Tournament FAQ Q: How do I sign up for this tournament? A: Go to the sign-up page and click the large button on this page: http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...ent/signup.php Q: How are scores submitted? A: Scores are submitted automatically to the tournament dashboard. If you want to see how you are doing in regards to your other competitors, click this link: http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/tournament Q: What division am I in? A: You can see what division you are listed in by checking the tournament dashboard. If you do not see your name in a division but do see your name in the participants list, it is because placements are not up yet. Be patient – placements won’t be finished until just before the start of the tournament. Q: I’ve degraded in skill – can I be in a lower division? A: Being that this is 13.5 I may consider it, get in touch with me and we'll see. However, if you do end up placing in a lower division and start pulling out scores that are more like the division you should have been in you may be disqualified or moved depending on the situation Q: Can you release the songs for the next round early? A: No, I cannot. Because this is an elimination tournament, everyone needs to have the same time allotment for each round. Q: When will I receive my prizes? A: Credit, token, and profile prizes will be handed out at the end of the tournament. If you were supposed to receive a prize and have not, send me a Discord message or a FFR PM and I will resolve the issue as soon as possible. Q: Will there be preview videos? Being that this isn't an all new content tournament there will not be previews Good luck everyone! |

Re: Official Tournament 13.5
ok FOR REAL THIS TIME 4th place in each division gets a single packet of ramen of their flavor of preference
same deal as last time except only one pack per prize since its a baby 0.5, and only the cheap stuff international winners will get their prize in paypal cash form, as shipping for ramen internationally is ridiculous lol. I'm also 3/3 for ramen prizes; 2 for official tournaments and 1 for benguins tournament so i should be cleared, yes? |

Re: Official Tournament 13.5
It totally sucked that I have to be stuck here at home for like some months more. It's already like months here on being stuck. Even I may not enroll, still its a good idea.

Re: Official Tournament 13.5
Isn't this overkill? I get the whole COVID angle but there are plenty of other tourneys going on

Also, there's really not. The rejected files tournament doesn't start till Jan, monstercat is over and the self-improvement tournament is in progress then this one doesn't start for two weeks. There's nothing wrong with having a lot going on to keep people busy, no one is forced to sign up. Plus keep in mind with week long rounds many people get their score in then have nothing to do for the rest of the week. It's a good thing to have more to do! |

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

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. |

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?

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.

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.

Re: Official Tournament 13.5
Will all D7 participates receive Unconnected.? Or is it just for the players who are involuntarily moved up to D7?
|
Re: Official Tournament 13.5
Kayla made it a point to bold and underline 'involuntarily', so probably won't be given to people who nominate themselves to move up
|
Re: Official Tournament 13.5
I'm not talking about nominating myself or anyone else to move up (I'm already D7) but I don't have Unconnected. and it says the only way to get it is to participate in a D7 OT.
 |
Re: Official Tournament 13.5
I think the implication is that you can't nominate yourself to play in D7 with the sole purpose of obtaining the token and sandbagging, but if you participate in D7 legitimately you are still granted it.

Re: Official Tournament 13.5
Okay good lol
Was just a little confused by the way it was worded in the OP... I'm like bottom of the barrel D7 so Unconnected. would be the only token I could possibly walk away with from this tourney xD |
Re: Official Tournament 13.5
You have to be placed and participate through in D7, someone can't ask to go in D7 just go get the token.
|
Re: Official Tournament 13.5
Frick yeah it is exciting to be a part of another Fiffer tournament. I have been playing etterna only for the last couple months so it will be weird to switch back to the ffr engine but I am a gamer so I think it's possible
