Nah, there's D7, and then there's D7 who are absolutely going to get top 8.

I pray that rust blurs the line on that latter opinion though.

I will be sorting people off into divisions little by little but nothing will be finalized until just before the tournament.

I'm likely going to do a quick sort first then look at everyone in each division more closely (I find it easier this way, plus making some small shifts in the divisions this year)

Welcome & good luck! :)

Kayla, will the dashboard be added to the front page once again or is it already there and I need to clean my glasses?

psychoangel691 06-6-2016 10:08 AM

Whether it's added back to the front page will be up to Max I suppose. I was surprised to see it removed from there in the first place to be honest.

It's manual. Honestly in the back end there's a division 0 that everyone is placed in when they click sign up so there's probably no reason a signup list couldn't be tied to that. But for now as I update the 2nd post people are put into D1 to note they've been added to the page until they're placed in a division.

Never done a tournament and I'm not sure I'm understanding how it works. Are we told a song and get one chance to play it or do we have the week to practice it before we submit a final score?

If it is held in the same format as last Official, you'll have one week per round to play the given song as much as you want to record your best score.

Scores are automatically recorded so you do not have to post a screenshot of the score.

Though even regardless of this, there's low and high people in literally every division. Look at D5 where there's people who are barely touching FMOs against people who are getting SDGs on FGOs. This is a competition.

No less being in the lower area you have the most room for improvement if you actually try. There's nearly 3 weeks until the tournament even starts, get training if you think you're going to be eliminated 1st round.


Edit: Going through your level ranks you have 28s AAA'd. You do realize there are people in D1 that literally can't AAA anything at all and some that don't even come close to it. You are definitely not where our D1 typically lies. I am doing some division adjustments this year to try to help in the upper divisions a little but I'm not sure where the cutoff is going yet. I'm waiting for more signups so I can compare better.
Digging further I see 30's SDGd including a double booflag on a 34, definitely not D1 even with an adjustment to the divisions, sorry.

I wonder if I am the lowest D4 player... lol I used to be pretty decent, getting okay scores, but I have been surpassed hard by a few people (shout out to Kawaii for running past me at full speed, you go gurl). Either way, this will be interesting.

Maybe i can invest in a mech kb for stamina gains.. laptops are not impact friendly.

There's huge room for growth in the lower divisions in short spans, we've seen it every tournament. This is why I'm looking to shift things downward a little bit. It's not going to be drastic, but hoping it may help in the upper area slightly since it's way harder to improve skill in those areas.

Bach96 06-6-2016 01:52 PM

Re: 11th Official Tournament
 
Yeah I can understand that. I just can't improve recently. I skill-spiked a little while back and now I just don't feel like I am getting better. Kinda just plateaued since then. But I am sure that I will get better without realizing it during the tournament.

psychoangel691 06-6-2016 02:01 PM

Reason for choosing my signiture is how i feel about how i will do in D4, getting beat down with a gas powered stick. lol

PhantomPuppy 06-6-2016 02:21 PM

Re: 11th Official Tournament
 
I can confirm that it is possible to go from near the lowest in a division to placing pretty well. I played up from D2 to D3 last year and went from only having SDG's on songs in the 40's to placing 13th in D3 (long story why I didn't make top 8 that I don't feel like including lol). Like someone else said, this is an example of a lower division skill increase, but it's still very possible to skill boost within the duration of the tourney. Don't give up before it even starts.

tl;dr don't let your dreams be dreams.

You're solid D2 and can prob make it to at least round 3 or 4 without much issue

There are also non-submitters in the first couple rounds anyways for lower divisions which makes that part even easier

D1 is for people who are literally new to the game, you doing well + me coaching should mean don't worry
If you were in D1 you'd literally have no issues at all since you can do well on some rando 20s song and the vast majority of them would struggle to get a somewhat presentable score

In the 9th OT went from being placed in D1 (probably by accident) to immediate bump to D2 to boosting to D5 in a couple months

A simple hey my name is wrong on the 2nd post would have sufficed.


I'm going to keep repeating, nothing has actually been done with division placements. There's already been talk about people's placements, I've literally not gone through anyone's ranks or anything yet. This is just a quick sort with Max's thing so that everyone's not just shoved into D1. It's simply a starting point.

Plus with how it's set up mis-clicks happen. Could have been someone above or below that was D6 but he got clicked instead. Divisions are swept over more than once for multiple reasons, this being one of them.

rushyrulz 06-8-2016 10:41 AM

Re: 11th Official Tournament
 
Kayla,

Division discussions are happening a lot, so it may be beneficial to edit a statement into the FPP about the placement system, purely because I think more eyes will see it that way. While the info exists in the OP of this thread, and several other posts by AJ and yourself, it might also be cool to have it on the front page since people will be more likely to read that at a glance.

Although, I think your point is across at this point, and it may be unnecessary, but as long as it doesn't harm the synergy of the front page, why not? :P

Go ahead and do it if you think you can.

Hell, for the 10th (I was only banned from the forums, not the game, so I was allowed to participate) I could only manage one run since I had a fresh splint on my wrist from breaking it the week before. The pain was terrific, and I couldn't even SDG Captain Jack when it made its annual appearance between the agony and the awkwardness.

Best I've ever done is I think 30th in D5. And there was the one year I got cut at 33rd...fuck Press Start.
