SocoNhydro's Tournament of Eternity
 
Welcome!

Do you have an unquenchable thirst for competing in tournaments? Hate waiting around for the next one to start? If you do, your in the right place. I will be hosting a tournament every month! Sign-ups are closed for June's tournament. Check for updates in the next few weeks about July's!

My name is Travis, and ill be your host!


Please read this whole post if you are a first timer to this tourney! This applies to the very first batch of players as well.

Layout

The tournament will be PA based scoring. The layout of each monthly tournament is up for change each time to keep things new and interesting. Each month the new tourny will appear in a sepeate thread, so be sure to check for them when each month gets going along. If you still have questions after reading this entire post, then post your question and i will gladly asnwer it as well as tack on the information to this post. This also goes for suggestions on improving the tournament.

I would like to run as many monthly tournaments as i can off of donated credits. If you would like to donate to June's tournament, please send donations to SoconHydro421 along with a screen shot of the transfer so i can thank the donators properly. Ill make the first donation of 40,000. (I will always donate to my own tourneys as long as i have credits available). Thanks in advance!

Donators for June:

pmonibuv1: 30,000 <3 <3
SocoNhydro420: 40,000 <3 <3
alloyus: 50,000 <3 <3
SkarletSky: 50,000 <3 <3
MooMoo_Cowfreak: 10,000 <3
igotrhythum: 60,000 <3 <3 <3
VarleyisDance: 28,000 <3 <3
xXAll-ProXx: 15,000 <3

Total: 283,000


<> June's tournament will be classic elimination style. There will be 5 rounds, lasting 6 days each.

<> There will be one or two people eliminated each round. The player(s) with the lowest cumulative score will be eliminated, and the last ones standing will be the winners. Also, the prizes will be divided among the top two, I apologize for this but the amount of donated credits is not sufficient to give prizes to the top three, and still have substantial prizes. (I think the fun in tourneys is the competition anyway, who needs credits? ;) )

<> There will be 7 divisions. Each round there will be three songs to play and post scores on, the songs will get progressively more difficult each round.

Heres the divisions and difficulty range for each.

Note: The division placements above are finalized. If you feel your wrongly placed, please send me a PM explaining your thoughts on it. Thank you!

Rules

Should go without saying, but nonetheless here it is:

DONT CHEAT!!

Cheaters will be eliminated and their credits will not be returned. Cheating includes:

1. Using a bot to play a song

2. Manually editing a score screenshot.

3. Using an offline engine, or any sort of custom engine to play the songs. Only the legacy and velocity engine can be used for the score pic. Standalones are allowed of course.

4. Account sharing/friends playing for you.


This leads into the next sections.

Proper Score submission

Must include the following:

<> Is in the form of a screen shot, posted in this thread. NO REPLAYS! They dont give the exact time the score was achieved, and would enable people to post replays of scores for a play that was outside of the time allowed.

<> Screen shot contains the username and timestamp, not a problem if your logged in.

<> Must be posted before the round ends, or after the round starts. No early/late submissions will be accepted.

Division Placements

Most people will know what division they are comfortable in from prior tournaments. But if you arent, heres some things to think about in making your choice.

<> You should not have any AAA's from the difficulty cap on a division. For example, if you have AAA'd an 8 but nothing higher, you might be too good to be placed in D1/D2. Remember, this is something to consider, not abide by completely. Some players might be eligable for D4 and not have any AAAs, as they might be lazy, or some might have a AAA of an easy 8, but can still be D2 Material.

<> What is the highest difficulty you can handle without having to mash alot? This difficulty is a good idea of the cap difficulty for the division thats right for you. For example, i can handle most 12's without mashing too much, but i still have to mash some, so D6 would be right for me. (I also have a FMO AAA so D5 should be too low for me).

<> Tier points. If you have a good amount of tier points, please, dont put yourself in anything lower then D4. As all tier point requirements come from difficulty 10 and above.

<> Ask somebody! Ask a friend whos participated in a tounament what division they think you would be good in. If you dont have any friends that know enough about division placements, PM me and ill decide where i think you should be placed based on your stats.

Prizes

The prizes will be divided among the top two players in a division. They will be announced at the end of the tournament.


Thanks to all who participate for making this tournament possible!!

So now that the tourney thread is open to the public, the official start of the weekly tourny will be Monday, 12:01 AM Server time, May 16th. Since today is friday, two days wouldnt be sufficient to get enough players together for a round. I'll add this information to the OP as well.

I assume the purpose of this rule was to disallow credit wagering and forced prize pot building. And not to let people lose credits during your tournament.

My interpretation was that "fees" meant players have to pay credits that would go to my personal credit bank.

Right, thats why the tournament avoids what i just said lol.

oh I misunderstood, but the bolded part is still against the rules. Entry fees are not allowed for the reasons I listed in post 9.

People don't join tournaments to lose their credits. It's not their job to pay the winners, it's yours and whoever chooses to donate.

Re: SocoNhydro's Tournament of Eternity. (ongoing)
 
This is a different kind of tournament though Rushy. This tournament relies on the players who are willing to "gamble" their credits. Since there are going to be a lot of weekly tournaments, this tournament won't survive on the creator's credits alone. Also, many players have lots of credits and they aren't worth much in FFR land anymore so I think this is a great use for the credits.

boibomb 05-7-2011 12:46 AM

Re: SocoNhydro's Tournament of Eternity. (ongoing)
 
So is this happening or not? I'll but a G down for D1 cause where can I use my credits anyway?

I'm sure there are tons of players -willing- to gamble their credits, but it's simply against the rules. This tournament requires an entry fee, regardless if it's called an ante or not. it's not allowed by the tournament rules.

I'm sure we don't want to derail this thread by arguing so i'll just leave it at: sure, the rules say that entry fees are not allowed but Jae approved this tourney so we will have to wait until someone else comes in to confirm/deny this tourney or simply let it go on.

Re: SocoNhydro's Tournament of Eternity. (ongoing)
 
The idea, in general, is kinda dumb and furthermore, entry fees aren't allowed regardless what type of term you try to cover it up with. I wouldn't wanna keep spending 4k credits to rejoin 'rounds' just to keep losing.

As for the "keep losing", it would be a good idea to join a lower division. Consistent losing is a sign of overplavement.

As for the "this isnt allowed" stuff, i guess well just have to see..

MaxGhost 05-7-2011 01:03 AM

Re: SocoNhydro's Tournament of Eternity. (ongoing)
 
I'd be down for D4, if you get the whole entry fee thing cleared up. Can anyone confirm that it's the right div. for me? :P

psychoangel691 05-7-2011 01:09 AM

Re: SocoNhydro's Tournament of Eternity. (ongoing)
 
Just asked Sprite about it since there was so much debate going on. He said entry fees are allowed now.

Sprite- 05-7-2011 01:10 AM

Re: SocoNhydro's Tournament of Eternity. (ongoing)
 
We've decided to now allow entry fees within tournaments. Hosts will be expected to be fair and their transactions will be watched closely. Bans will be issued for any fraud, as well as credits returned to their rightful owners.

ATTENTION!

New division added, The previous D4/D5/D6 Has been moved to D5/D6/D7

The new D4 with song difficulty 10 was added to help make the divisions more linear.

Only sign up i got so far was from you zierg, so i assume you want to be in D7.

Check the OP for changes!

Re: SocoNhydro's Tournament of Eternity. (ongoing)
 
I'm DEFINITELY in for this. Although, never done a tourney so I have no idea where I'd be placed. Middie said I'd be D2 material (although I think D3 would be easy enough to handle) so I just signed up for both.

SocoNhydro421 05-7-2011 04:00 AM

Re: SocoNhydro's Tournament of Eternity. (ongoing)
 
If you think you can handle D3, then by all means go for it, ive played you before and you would be good there. But Idk how well playing in 2 divisions would go among the participants, but as for me it seems like a bad idea. Im returning your credits for D2 so i dont lose track of them.

ScarletSky 05-7-2011 04:18 AM

Re: SocoNhydro's Tournament of Eternity. (ongoing)
 
Alright then, whatever works for you works for me too. I ain't picky really.

Credit donations for the monthly tournament of June are now open. All donations, big or small, will be greatly appreciated! Check the OP under "Monthly Tournaments" for more information.

Also, it would be a good idea to spread the word about the upcoming tournaments. Im sure some people stopped checking this subforum so often from the lack of new tournaments.
Invite your friends to compete!

Re: SocoNhydro's Tournament of Eternity. (ongoing)
 
Ooh, a sort of tournament league. Definitely in. D1 (unless having a Pondering Stuff AAA forces me to be in D2)

kmay 05-7-2011 04:37 PM

Re: SocoNhydro's Tournament of Eternity. (ongoing)
 
In, mainly to see where I will be placed. Its always fun to watch this process.

SocoNhydro420 05-7-2011 05:04 PM

Re: SocoNhydro's Tournament of Eternity. (ongoing)
 
Kmay, i think D5 would be good for you, but if your feeling ambitious like i was, D6 shouldnt be too much for you to handle :). PM me your signup with your division choice and song.

Since the divisions have different buy-ins, i would like people to pick their own division as much as possible after some reccomendations from myself or others. I dont want to force people to pay more credits for a placement their not sure they can handle okay.

Edit: And Guest15937, i think D1 is fine for now. If you end up crushing people you will need to move up to D2 next time. PM me your full sign up sometime as well.

The prize/buy-in structure of this tournament is actually somewhat confusing to me. It almost seems like people will be losing credits by picking higher level songs repeatedly.

Can someone clarify this for me, because I'm thinking about entering the tournament.

Each division has a difficulty cap. Players choosing songs cannot choose a song higher than that difficulty. The entry fees are for gambling. People enter each week and the credits are pooled and given in a properly distributed prize type tournament.

I don't know what OP is going to do about recurring songs being chosen but he probably has something planned.

There is a point where players will start to lose credits. Right around 3rd place or so (if the division is full) you will break even. Lower than that and you lose credits.
I do see a problem with these because many players don't want to lose credits so they'll simply pick one division lower, making others pick one division lower and so-forth. It's a vicious cycle in it's own way, and there is no real way around it unless there's no buy-in.
But I also see why there's a buy-in, as this tournament is weekly held and continuous (meaning, there may be no end unless people stop signing up). It would be near impossible for the host to hand out prizes constantly every week in this scenario.

I didn't notice before the the prizes were linearly distributed.

Alright, I'm going to jump into this tournament: in for D7.

Re: SocoNhydro's Tournament of Eternity. (ongoing)
 
There is really no way i can think of to avoid people jumping in lower divisions, except for the fact that ill be restricting what divisions people can join based on their past preformance in here. That should at least weed out people joining a division and crushing it every time for the credits. And as for the increase in credits as the division gets higher, i figured more skilled players have more credits to play with. Wouldn't be very interesting to wager 1,000 credits in D7 ;D. Yes, it is possible to lose credits in the weekly, but its meant for people who are okay with a possible loss in order to compete and have fun. The only other way i see to have a consistently running weekly tournament is to eliminate prizes altogether and just play for fun. The monthly tournaments i will try to keep ran on donation credits as much as possible, so people who dont want to wager credits can participate as well.

What's the point of buy-ins if no one loses credits?

Re: SocoNhydro's Tournament of Eternity. (ongoing)
 
The buy-ins are for the weekly tournaments. Players compete each week and winner gets credits, 2nd place gets credits, 3rd place gets credits, etc.

Also, sent 30k for the monthly.

The song difficulty listed under each division is a maximum, so the songs will be 9 and under, but most likely all 9's. Please read the entire post before you enter! And dont forget the signup pms! I know the OP is long but it contains vital information throughout and its important to completely understand how the tournaments are ran.

Can't you check people's public level ranks without being a veteran now?

You should definitely be confirming people's skill wherever possible.

Unfortunatly i cant, but if an admin would give me that privaledge without making me a vet it would be extremely helpful in determining peoples skills. As of now ive been looking at ranks, stat bars, replays, top ranked files, etc. But it would be much more accurate if i could check the levelranks directly.

No, unfortunately you can't. At least, I'm not a vet and I know I can't, I've tried. =/

Maybe you should look into having someone help with tournament hosting. It's always good to have a veteran as a host because they can help with accurate player placement.

Woah, didn't even notice Soco wasn't a veteran yet... Weird. Ya, I think he should have someone do that for him and PM him with your conclusions.
Looking through what I can and know about some of the players, they belong in a division higher or lower. MopeyJoe looks like he could almost do D4.

Ya, I know I'm about D3 or so. Why?

Right, ill look into getting some assistance from a vet in determining division placements.

Me in D4? I'm not entirely sure about that. I mean, I'm good, but not that good to be super amazing in VC songs.

Then again, difficulty 9 songs seem too easy.

TC_Pr0 05-8-2011 03:51 PM

Re: SocoNhydro's Tournament of Eternity. (ongoing)
 
I'm in. But I'll have to be in D3 because I haven't played in forever and I'm on a vista laptop now. All of my new scores are on new_pr0

You are in D3. Seen some of your scores, and some of them look somewhat similar to mine. D3 is perfect for you Joe.

Mopey's better than me, so I guess I should probably be in D3 then, but I gave creds for D4.

Ah, i had 4,500 unaccounted for credits. Im assuming you were the one that sent them from D4. Make sure you read the whole original post guys, the information on how to enter properly is in dark red. The requirements to sign up are only there to keep things organized and the credits accounted for. I'll return your credits and you can re-choose where you want to be placed :)

Quick question before I send PM, what do you mean by "song to submit"? Like, play a song and send SS of it? Or just name a song you'd like to submit to the round?

pmonibuv1 05-8-2011 05:48 PM

Re: SocoNhydro's Tournament of Eternity. (ongoing)
 
Song choice.
