Re: 11th Official Tournament
What a thrilling read. Kayla, the 5-year-old tantrum comment was impeccable. Tarrik, grats & look forward to competing with you, also happy to be here and proud of being able to make it up here, even if we don't stand a chance against the elite :) Gazelle, after YoshL's response to my lag question in his thread, post all of the laugh.jpgs you can. Forever. Also no preview videos is okay with me, I imagine they are a lot of work to do (on top of the already strenuous work that comes with an OT) and I think having 7 new files to play through each week with no expectations is one of the most exciting things that's happened on this site in a while. Very excited to play in the tourney. Good luck everyone!

Re: 11th Official Tournament
The copyright isn't an issue on youtube, just makes it so that they monetize it for the person claiming the copyright.
Anyway, I've been up since 6am it's 2am my time and I have to be up 6:30am so I'm off. Most of the division stuff is done but there are a few that we're still debating on, plus late entries/people who entered not having enough plays. Those will be finished tomorrow. |
Re: 11th Official Tournament
It has nothing to do with a copyright -- it has to do with the fact that content in the tournament exists on custom engines and people are getting to access it early, when others don't have the means or knowledge on how to do that. Obviously it's less of an issue in higher divisions where most players know how to use the R^3 engine, but it's fucked up that this can even happen in the first place (not to mention anyone not native to that engine gets screwed too).
This could all be mitigated if content was promptly removed on custom engines when asked, but... well, when asked to remove the chart from FFRMania (which afaik is the only source to play the file), the response was simply "not my problem" and "it doesn't provide a real benefit." While I do agree with the latter point in that practicing will probably do nothing more than harm you, there were rules in the past about content being removed from custom engines when files were in queue/put in game. Simply put, there are only two solutions to this problem - either the content gets removed accordingly, or preview videos stop so that the playfield is as leveled as possible for everyone. Unfortunately, we had to go with the latter. |

Tarrik: you don't have to delete the level from the engine. Simply comment out the XML code containing the level information (google this if you're unsure for any reason). That way, when the round is completed, you can uncomment it out and it'll be back on with no issues. |

I know SM isn't the same, but you said only source to play it, which is incorrect. SM is a source. It may not be the same, but still.

Done. It has been removed from FFRMania.

I do have to say so far weve had a lot more positive than negative comments from people. You guys have no idea how much that means to us. I really hope you all enjoy the tournament and I can't wait for it to start <3 |

Re: 11th Official Tournament
The fact that any tournament files were left in a place where any user could access them ahead of time is a pretty serious mess up for whoever is responsible.
And the fact that one person said -no- to removing them before Tarrik stepped up? If I were admins, I'd consider making sure whoever gave that no isn't involved in the tournament anymore. You guys run this as a cash event now, you kinda can't afford to not take it seriously. This should be "replace every song that was available for play before the event with new songs" territory. |

Re: 11th Official Tournament
Sounded like it was more than one file from what I read here. Regardless, I'd be more concerned about the 'no' than the leaked file(s).

Re: 11th Official Tournament
it's not going to influence the outcome of the tournament on any level so actually it's really not a big deal
i mean in the time it took you to write that post some kid lost a limb to a landmine somewhere and nobody even gives a shit about that actually i agree with you that insubordination is a big deal |

In any case, the person involved isn't directly involved with the tournament - they're just one of the few managers of a custom engine that had the chart uploaded prior to it being used for tournament use: Le Carnaval was released in a StepMania pack in December of 2015, but it was sent to FFR sometime in November (it was in the third set of files judged for the tournaments). FFRMania dedicates their custom engine to have FFR conversions for StepMania packs, and that file got converted likely as soon as the pack was released. The fault is less in it being public the entire time, as no one would have known that the song was being used in the specific spot that it was in -- it's moreso the fault that when action was attempted to be taken in an effort to alleviate the issue, it was initially denied. I'm not sure what this means for preview videos; I'll consult Kayla about it again later. EDIT: also would like to mirror that general reception towards the tournament has been substantially better than I'd expected, so yeah - thanks for that, guys. it's good to see that when i've got negative thoughts about wanting to do things, they turn to positive ones when actually working. |

Re: 11th Official Tournament
Alright so the late entries are placed and anyone who didn't have enough plays but do now. All we have left were the 3 people we were still debating on. So basically you can pretty much count on what's up there now. Please direct placement issues in PM and we'll look into anything that seems off.

Re: 11th Official Tournament
I should probably note also before I get a lot of PMs that the lines did shift a little and a lot of people who were borderline and would normally be pushed up were left lower.

Re: 11th Official Tournament
Wtf. My not-FFR-playing friend texted me a couple of days ago with a link to Follow You Rhythmics Remix, saying "dude this would be an epic song on that rhythm game you play." I agreed with him, and even started making a stepchart for it, which I then lost halfway through the song due to my computer randomly shutting down. It wasn't until just now that I realized this is my round 1 song.
