Stuck at Home Tournament
Welcome to the Stuck at Home Tournament! Please read carefully. I. HOW TO SIGN UP CLICK THIS LINK HERE: http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...ent/signup.php Signups are open until March 30th, 11:59 SERVER TIME. Please be aware your name will be on a list, but it is a manually updated list on the second post of this thread. If you do not see your name on that post, be patient and give it some time. If there has been a reasonable amount of time between updates and your name is not on the second post, let me know and I will communicate with you in regards to your concerns. II. TOURNAMENT OVERVIEW/INFORMATION This tournament is scheduled to start on March 31st at 12:00 PM server time. There will be SEVEN divisions in this tournament – Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Expert, Master, Guru, and Legend. These divisions are typically addressed by their numerical order, with D1 being Beginner, and D7 being Legend. Upon registration of the tournament, you will be placed in a list with all other players that have signed up to the tournament, and will be placed accordingly based off of your overall skill and accomplishments in regards to the game. You will not be signing up for a particular division – your division placement will be handled internally. Keep in mind, there is not a limit to the number of participants in this tournament, or the number of competitors within a given division. However, large divisions will see larger people cut in earlier rounds. Scores will be automatically recorded to the tournament dashboard LOCATED HERE. This is a real-time tool that displays scores which opponents have obtained during the current and previous rounds, and it is color coordinated according to your status in the round (and in the tournament). All scores listed in the dashboard are based on unadjusted (raw) scoring. III. TOURNAMENT RULES In order to be eligible for participation, your account must have 250 games played, with 75 songs FULLY played. If you do not meet this requirement, your name will be removed from the participants list, and you will not receive a division placement. Please ensure that you meet these requirements before clicking the signup button! This tournament will be eight rounds long, with each round lasting 4 days. Every division will receive their own song, every round, and there will be a specified number of people advancing to each round, dependent on the division’s size. If ties happen in such a way where more competitors advance than are specified for the given round, one of two situations will occur: - if the tie occurs before a prize round, all people involved in a tie will advance. - If the tie occurs during a round where advancing means you receive a prize, a tiebreaker will be played. Tiebreakers last 24 hours. If you do not submit a positive score above 0 by the end of the round, you will be eliminated. Late scores will NOT be accepted under any circumstances, because it is an elimination tournament. I will make minor accommodations to ensure that you aren’t automatically eliminated with a 0 score, but only under extenuating circumstances. If for any reason a score does not record, take a screenshot AND save a replay after you have restored connectivity. That way, I can definitively verify that you did obtain that score. I will not be adding scores without this form of proof. It goes without saying: CHEATING IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN. Anyone caught cheating in this tournament will receive a minimum punishment of forum banishment, and will be considered for more severe punishment. As mentioned in the FFR forum rules, using a bot or trainer is grounds for score removal, and other implicit methods of score boosting like account sharing will result in further reprimand. Do not try to circumvent rules with loopholes. You may not use an alternate account in an effort to be put in a lower division. Chances are, if it’s questionable, it shouldn’t be done. In addition to this -- if you have cheated in previous tournaments, I reserve the right to deny your entry in the tournament. Decisions are final, and if you are told that you are not allowed to enter, you are NOT allowed to enter. Be respectful to everyone involved in the tournament!You are allowed to have negative opinions towards simfiles that are presented in the tournament, but do so in a way that indicates your comment as being opinionated, and not factual. Saying that “I absolutely despise this file” is considerably less rude than “your file is garbage”, because while they are both opinionated, the latter is more forceful due to not indicating it as your opinion. Arguments with tournament staff or with other users will not be tolerated. If you happen to have any issues with placements, do not post them in any threads. Instead, send a private message to me via FFR, or send me a message on Discord at Azlynn #4286 I will do my best to respond to everyone in regards to everything. Continual disregard of this rule will result in removal from the tournament. IV. Prizes If anyone is interested in donating prizes, you are more than welcome to do so (as it has occurred in the past). However, prizes need to be confirmed by me before being listed on the OP as an official prize, as it needs to be ensured that they are received. If you opt into providing a prize, confirm with me, and do not deliver, you will be severely reprimanded. View prize information by clicking the spoiler. V. Tournament FAQ Q: How do I sign up for this tournament? A: Go to the sign-up page and click the large button on this page: http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...ent/signup.php Q: How are scores submitted? A: Scores are submitted automatically to the tournament dashboard. If you want to see how you are doing in regards to your other competitors, click this link: http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/tournament Q: What division am I in? A: You can see what division you are listed in by checking the tournament dashboard. If you do not see your name in a division but do see your name in the participants list, it is because placements are not up yet. Be patient – placements won’t be finished until just before the start of the tournament. Q: I’ve degraded in skill – can I be in a lower division? A: Unfortunately, you will not be placed off of your current skill, but rather the skill that is reflected in your level ranks (public and token). Gauging current skill is incredibly risky and can ruin the overall tournament experience, especially if someone improves unexpectedly due to being placed in a lower division for skill degradation. Q: Can you release the songs for the next round early? A: No, I cannot. Because this is an elimination tournament, everyone needs to have the same time allotment for each round. Q: When will I receive my prizes? A: Credit, token, and profile prizes will be handed out at the end of the tournament. If you were supposed to receive a prize and have not, send me a Discord message or a FFR PM and I will resolve the issue as soon as possible. Good luck everyone!

Re: Stuck at Home Tournament
I'll join if I can be in a lower division, I only play on 1x speed now and songs above like 82 are near impossible.
Can post screenshots.

Re: Stuck at Home Tournament
If you play for a few weeks I think you will pick up your old skill fairly quickly. At least that's what I felt. A few months ago I had a hard time FCing level 50's, but I'm pretty much back to my old level again now.

I skill boosted alot in a very short time, but now it's going slowly again. I have a hard time getting SDG's above 75's unless they're on the easy side. Edit: You can play with rates too and slowly amp it up. Last edited by M0nkeyz; 03-26-2020 at 04:08 PM.. |

- b.) your 1x is not really 1x, as you're both electing to use a screencut and also counteracting that screencut with a reduced notescale - c.) i'm not sure why you think you're special and that any tournament is going to suddenly deviate from not going off of your previous skill seems a bit disingenuous to me, tbh Last edited by TC_Halogen; 03-26-2020 at 03:05 PM.. |

Re: Stuck at Home Tournament
in! didn't expect this, nice.
scroll speed is all personal preference btw. I use 1.2x and play well above 82's so it's not "near impossible". But if you're feeling that way try bumping it up to like 1.5x or something. |
