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. Tournament Score Spreadsheet (Updated to post 595) Round 5 is has officially started! It will conclude on June 30th, 11:59 pm FFR server time.

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!! |

Re: SocoNhydro's Tournament of Eternity. (ongoing)
In.
Also, I thought tournament fees weren't allowed? edit: ooooooooooh. i see @ the sign-up |
Re: SocoNhydro's Tournament of Eternity. (ongoing)
wow finally someone decided to create a tournament.
In~ |
Re: SocoNhydro's Tournament of Eternity. (ongoing)
i love how this is noticed a week later lol
|
Re: SocoNhydro's Tournament of Eternity. (ongoing)
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.

Re: SocoNhydro's Tournament of Eternity. (ongoing)
I seem to be getting a "-failed!-" message every time I try to send credits so i'll PM you when I can.

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. Quote:

Sent my submission.
I hope I sent it right. :x |
Re: SocoNhydro's Tournament of Eternity. (ongoing)
My interpretation was that "fees" meant players have to pay credits that would go to my personal credit bank.

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

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.
|
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?

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 "this isnt allowed" stuff, i guess well just have to see.. |
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
|
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.
|
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)
There really needs to be a mass sticky rewrite. I'll help if need be.

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

Sent the creds already. D1 looks good to me right now, but if I have some random skill jump I send another thousand to you. Unless you think I need to not be in D1. |
Re: SocoNhydro's Tournament of Eternity. (ongoing)
Guys, if you read the OP, it tells you exactly how he wants you to sign up.
|
Re: SocoNhydro's Tournament of Eternity. (ongoing)
D6 you already know ;D
|
Re: SocoNhydro's Tournament of Eternity. (ongoing)
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)
|
Re: SocoNhydro's Tournament of Eternity. (ongoing)
In, mainly to see where I will be placed. Its always fun to watch this process.
|
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. |
Re: SocoNhydro's Tournament of Eternity. (ongoing)
I'm in. I'm not sure if I should be in D2 or D3.
|
Re: SocoNhydro's Tournament of Eternity. (ongoing)
MopeyJoe, D3 looks about right for you.
|
Re: SocoNhydro's Tournament of Eternity. (ongoing)
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. |
Re: SocoNhydro's Tournament of Eternity. (ongoing)
Quote:
I don't know what OP is going to do about recurring songs being chosen but he probably has something planned. |
Re: SocoNhydro's Tournament of Eternity. (ongoing)
Quote:
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. |
Re: SocoNhydro's Tournament of Eternity. (ongoing)
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.
|
Re: SocoNhydro's Tournament of Eternity. (ongoing)
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. http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...73Untitled.jpg |
Re: SocoNhydro's Tournament of Eternity. (ongoing)
Thank you pmon!! ;D

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. |
Re: SocoNhydro's Tournament of Eternity. (ongoing)
Can't you check people's public level ranks without being a veteran now?
You should definitely be confirming people's skill wherever possible. |

Re: SocoNhydro's Tournament of Eternity. (ongoing)
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.
|
Re: SocoNhydro's Tournament of Eternity. (ongoing)
Tis true Aj.
|
Re: SocoNhydro's Tournament of Eternity. (ongoing)
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. |

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. |
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

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