Congratz on hosting your first tourney.
In, I will most likely end up in Advanced division.

Re: drizzleRomanceGirl's FFR Team Tournament
 
Thank you for joining so quickly everyone! I've thought about the format and I'm actually changing part of it so that instead of having one round per person with four songs, I'm going to make it so that there's three-four cycles where each cycle includes one round for each member of a team. Each round will be for three days, and each person will get to be in three to four rounds. ^.^

@Halfstep, Thank you for the donation! I'll update the list shortly. :)

@SC_coolguy44, I have no idea when it'll start, but it may approximately start in about two weeks, possibly? It honestly depends on how many people join and how long it'll take me to place everyone, as well as how long voting for captains will take and the order of each team by the captains.

@Lambdadelta, Thank you! I hope this tournament is successful. ^.^

Maybe, but the teams would be way too large for the kind of tournament I'm aiming for, and even if I split teams such as Team Blaze into separate teams, some people might want to join others who haven't joined an official FFR team (e.g. Team Pokemon). Thank you for the advice though!

I'm sorry, I forgot to mention something important. >.< There will be NO modifications/mods allowed (except for speed mods and autofail), INCLUDING MIRROR AND ANY RATES OTHER THAN 1.0. In addition, all FFR Engines, including Legacy, R2, Velocity, and R3, along with the universal and multiplayer versions are allowed.

It sounds like a contradiction (to me at least)...mind clarifying exactly what you mean by this?

Oh crap, no mirror might actually kill me.

:P I didn't know that. ^.^ I'm sorry if you get mindblocks on songs that have patterns you're not used to, but that's part of the tournament: it tests your skill to overcomes difficult songs. :)

*edit* There will be either three to four cycles (I haven't decided which yet.) In each cycle, there will be one round for *each* member of a team (all teams will have the same amount of people.) Three cycles would mean each person within a team plays three different songs total, and four cycles would mean each person within a team plays four different songs total. When a specific member from each team is participating in a round for the current cycle, the other members of each team will not be participating because it is not their round to play any songs yet.

Its kind of odd to knock out mirror, someone could technically downscroll/upscroll and flip their monitor image and get the same effect. It would probably just be better to allow it in the first place because its something equal opportunity that most if not all people use.

Just my 2c

I guess I'll join, I just hope i don't forget about this lol.

I'll join, and just to throw this out there I think mirror should really be allowed, I rarely use it myself but it really doesn't count as a mod and it's used as a different way to play like downscroll or different noteskins (for the record I actually use downscroll and beatmania skin)

Re: drizzleRomanceGirl's FFR Team Tournament
 
is there a specific reason you don't want mirror
i don't want to be a big meanie and pressure you but it would be nice 2 know

Re: drizzleRomanceGirl's FFR Team Tournament
 
Thank you for the advice, but in my opinion, I think using mirror is going against what the original stepartist intended. I really don't like the idea of inverting the entire stepchart to make the song easier or to avoid mindblocks. The stepartist stepped the file that way for a reason. :)

drizzle provides profound words of wisdom

Re: drizzleRomanceGirl's FFR Team Tournament
 
Let me put my thoughts in this, dohoho.

I understand why you don't want mirror and agreeably it does make some charts easier when you flip the entire song, HOWEVER it's not changing how the step artist intended it to flow.

This is why mirror records and why other mods in R^3, like scramble and random, do not. It's because those mods change the entire flow and breaks both what the step artist saw AND the flow that the step artist made.

However, this is your tournament and don't mind the lock on the mirror mod, it would make some charts trickier to nail (depending on what hand you're strong in). Just know this is why mirror records.

The original FFR only allowed you to use arrow keys, so i can make the argument that anyone who uses anything other than arrow keys is going against the spirit of FFR. While i respect the fact that you're hosting the tournament and you're taking the time out to organize things, In order for something like this to be successful, its going to have to be fun for everyone.

When you restrict something as basic and widely used as mirror, you're going to turn people off on joining your tournament. It is your opinion that mirror is bad, ok thats fine, but I guarantee that you're in the minority here that think that way. You probably should compromise on this, there isn't any reason not to.

Like i said in a previous post, there is nothing stopping me from changing my scroll direction, flipping my monitor image and remapping my keys. Its not that hard to do, and in doing so i have achieved ghetto mirror and there is absolutely no way for you to tell that i did this besides requiring a video.

Re: drizzleRomanceGirl's FFR Team Tournament
 
Thank you for the advice Charu, and I understand where you're coming from, but I still believe that it wouldn't be that much of a difference to not use mirror. For instance, I'm left-handed, and I assume most stepartists are right-handed and made the majority of their files for right-handed people (whether consciously or unconsciously). However, I still overcome songs with heavy right-handed patterns with practice, which eventually makes those patterns easier.

*edit* Although I don't agree with people using mirror, I'll be willing to change my decision if five people or more (who join this tournament) vote against me restricting mirror.
