Welcome to badman7772's Tournament of Hopelessness
PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF WHATEVER GOD YOU WORSHIP (IF ANY) READ THE ENTIRE THREAD CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU ENTER.
By signing up, you agree that you've read the rules and what's required for you to enter.
In this tournament, it will be a traditional
cumulative tournament with as many divisions as seen fit, but with a twist! You have the choice to be in either your placed division,
or one division below your own. If you choose the lower division, you will only qualify for the participation and MAYBE sponcon prizes, and top prize credits you WOULD have won will be passed down to the top players in that division that chose NOT to move down.
Here's how to enter:
-You must have at least
250 games played and
50 unique songs played. Exceptions will be made based on my discrepancy (using alt account, D8, etc.)
-Simply post in this thread stating you're "in" or that you wish to sign up.
-If you wish to be in 1 division below where you've been placed: Please let me know BEFORE round 2 starts. (For example: If you decide to change from D6 to D5 in the middle of round 1, you must let me know that you wish to do so, and you must submit a score for D5's song before the round ends.)
FAQ's:
Q: When will the tournament start?
A: The tournament will start on
Sunday, September 6th at 12:00 AM SERVER time.
Q: When will signups close?
A: Signups will officially close as soon as round 2 starts. This will allow players to sign up during round 1.
Q: How many rounds will there be?
A: There will be six (6) rounds.
Q: How long will each round last?
A: Each round will last four (4) days.
Q: What division will I be in?
A: You will very likely be in the division specified in your Skill Rating. However, I will be looking at your scores to ensure a fair placement. I understand that borderline placements are NOT easy to place and can either make or break someone's experience. This is why I'm giving the opportunity to go down one division so you can at least be comfortable during this tournament.
Q: Which scoring are we using?
A: We will be using RAW scoring for this tournament.
Q: Can I submit late scores?
A: Yes. However, you get a 50 raw point penalty on the late score for each day that it's late (maximum 200 points). You can only submit scores for the current round and one round prior (only if you haven't submitted a score for that round yet.)
*Final round scores may NOT be submitted late.
Q: What happens if let's say I don't submit for round 1 and it's now round 3?
A: Your name will be completely dropped from the tournament and any credits you have earned in the tournament will be forfeited.
Q: How do I submit a score?
A: All scores must be posted in this thread. If it's not posted in the thread, it won't count.
Q: Can I skip rounds in the tournament?
A: No. You must submit PASSING scores for all rounds of the tournament.
Q: Where can I keep track of progress and scores for the entire tournament?
A:
This Spreadsheet Here.
Q: I qualify for a top cut prize, but I was the best player that didn't go down a division. How many credits would I win?
A: I will add up all top cut credit prizes won by the players that chose to go down a division, then distribute them equally to the top players that didn't move down.
Q: Can I donate to the prize pool?
A: Absolutely!
Q: What can I donate?
A: You can donate any number of credits simply by sending credits to me and stating in the message or in this thread that you donated. If you wish to donate a non-credit prize, please PM me or send me a message on Discord.
Q: What's your Discord?
A: badman7772 #7446
I'm also pretty sure you know about cheating and blah blah blah. Get caught and you'll be DQ'd with no prize and possibly be sent to the shadow realm.
Prizes:
Total Prize Pot: 1,500,000~
Top 3 qualifying players in each division will receive a top cut prize. All other players will receive a prize for completing all six rounds of the tournament. Tournament prizes will be equally distributed, meaning for example D1 receives the same top cut and participation prizes as any other division.
Donations:
So I'm sitting at 50,000 credits right now and with my current situation, the only time to really host a tournament for me is around this time. I know staff is worn out from doing the OT and I feel like players (especially D6+) are still hungry like hippos. You do NOT have to donate if you don't want to.
If you DO donate at least 10k credits though: I will make your name in the spreadsheet any BG/text color you want alongside a custom color/text for your scores because my choice of colors might suck to you. LOL!

Sponcon
I hope you're having a great tournament experience so far! I just want to genuninely say that I greatly appreciate that you all chipped in almost 1.4 million credits to the prize pot compared to my only about 50,000. Thank you guys for letting me host this tournament for you guys while providing me feedback on a few things that may or may not have been pointed out. For this...Prepare for trouble!
In this sponcon, you're going to play Crazy Roll 3D! All you have to is roll the ball as far as you can while collecting the diamonds. Use these diamonds to continue playing if you hit a wall or fall off the platform into the bottomless pit. Score will be based off distance and not crystals collected. Submit a score of at least 500m and receive 2,000 credits! Top 3 players will win an extra 13,000 credits to total out 15,000!
...oh...AND MAKE IT DOUBLE!!!
That's right! TWO sponcons in 1 round!
In this sponcon, you're going to play
Nanaca Crash!! Object is simple. Send him flying as far as you can by aiming and timing your shot! Submit a score of at least 500m and receive 2,000 credits! Top 3 players will win an extra 13,000 credits to total out 15,000! You can go thank Hakulyte and CammyGoesRawr for suggesting this, especially if you find yourself addicted...
Remember that you must submit proof of FFR login AND OS timestamp (bottom right hand corner of Windows usually) for these to count!
Hope you enjoy this round's treats!
This round will end on Thursday, September 17th at 11:59 PM Server Time

Sponcon
I'll say it again. Your favorite songs from the previous round's sponcon were amazing! There was like, only one song that wasn't picked including my pick that was part of my eye-opening soundtrack from my good ol' High School days. I'll definitely say you all nailed it! Now to reward you with a very random Family Guy infomercial...but with a twist.
Bacon in a cup,
Bacon in a cup,
Bacon ehn uh cup!
That's right! In this sponcon you're going to play Put-Bacon (in a cup!) Your objective is to to literally have bacon strips land inside the cup (most of the time from the pan) to score a point. There is a very hefty learning curve to this though. Submit a score of 5 points or higher and you'll win 5,000 credits! The top 5 players will each win an additional 15,000 credits for a total of 20,000!
Oh and back to the picks. Name the song that wasn't picked by myself and other previous sponcon participants that I would have wanted to see picked. If you guess correctly, you win 20,000 credits! If you guess wrong, you have to wait until 5 different people post their picks in order for you to try again. Failure to follow this rule will DQ you from this sponcon. The hint should already be somewhere here, and don't ask for it. You won't need to post a score on your selection, just post your guess.
One last thing. Remember to post OS timestamps and proof of FFR login for the non-FFR sponcon. Haven't counted one without either of of these yet, and it won't start now.
This round will end on Friday, September 25th at 11:59 Server Time

NO LATE SCORES ACCEPTED! If you're still in the tournament, you must submit all six rounds to win any prizes (including sponcons). Top 3 players will win top prizes, and players who lowered down a division will have their winnings split to the real top 3 players.
Sponcon
First off, I want to apologize for last round's sponcon. It was glitch hell for everyone and I had no idea until after the round was posted. Now for the following presentation.
The tradition some of you may have seen coming. If you placed a bet that this was the sponcon, go ahead and claim your money. It's time to unleash the full fury of endurance (and a little RNG!) You've come this far. Now you have to hang on for the top spot!
In this sponcon, you will play the Helicopter game! It's very simple. Keep the helicopter going as far as you can.
Submit a score of at least 500 points to receive a prize of 6,000 credits! Whoever gets the high score will win an additional 44,000 credits! Good luck!
This round will end on Tuesday, September 29th at 11:59 Server Time
