Bets anyone if this person actually signed up? They posted 8 minutes before AJ updated this list, so they should have been included. *Spoilers* They are not.

The first official I entered I was in D4. I thought I was D3 at the time so I thought for sure I was screwed. You know what happened? I made it into the finals for D4 in my first Official! Trust me, it looks incredibly intimidating, but if you keep practicing and just keep playing like normal, you'll go much farther than you think you will. Join up!

Nice! And also don't forget that there will be players predicted to do well that won't. In the 7th official a bunch of people were predicting me to make top 16 or top 8 in D5 (Eze even had me in 2nd) and I got like 20th. In that same tourney EtienneSM was an unknown user and did really good.

Well, I just realised that you're grouped into the divisions, so the people who AAA FGOs and FMOs probably won't even be in the same group as me. Slightly less intimidating xD

It's expected for now; the earlier part of pre-tournament is boring because there's no division placements happening, so no one technically knows who the competition is, haha.

Re: 10th Official FFR Tournament
 
Okay little kids, huddle around the stalk and let papa corn tell you the story of boogiebear...


Back when FFR was a young community, FFR became home to a handful of notable hackers and trolls. Some, such as BLAZZE, became notorious for simply taking ban-evasion to an art form; I wouldn't be surprised to learn that BLAZZE's IP accounted for over 1% of FFR's 1.9 million accounts.

But among the hackers, the most notorious of them all was boogiebear.

At one point, right around when I started in 2005, every scoreboard in the game (all 150 or so of them) had the #1 score as boogiebear or one of the numerous boogiebear alts, usually holding the record with more points than it was possible to actually get in the song if you AAAed. Back then botting programs were next to impossible to detect, the game was flawed in many ways (for example, on certain files you could hit "ghost arrows" in the black space before the song started, adding to your score for free) and the scoreboards were simply much easier to hack.
Various admins attempted to remove boogie's scores, but the hacked scores came back faster than anyone could be bothered to remove them.
This was until Shashakiro was appointed to be an admin. Like the Dossar of today, he took the sanctity of scoreboard records really seriously and he began an epic campaign to cleanse boogiebear's scores and ban every single alt. Soon after, Boogiebear was revealed to be female (omg grill), and from then on people kept making Shash x boogiebear shipping jokes.
Whether boogiebear was actually female or just "female" remains a mystery, but her legacy as FFR's pr0est h4x0r lives on forever.

The end.

intentionally playing worse than your actual ability to be placed in a lower division to artificially do better in the tournament.

Re: 10th Official FFR Tournament
 
yeah, but also it doesn't have to be intentional, it can just be that you were mistakenly placed in the wrong division and have an unfair advantage over your opponents either due to error from people in charge of placements, or that the scores people use to judge division placement aren't up to date with your actual skill
