Numi's First Tournament

[NumiGamer]

FINAL ROUND HAS STARTED!
IT ENDS 11:59:59 PM EST MARCH 24TH, 2009!

The song for everyone is Flight of the Bumblebee.



THE GOAL SCORE IS 632,150!!!


We have exactly 55 members in this tournament. There will be 15 eliminations the first round. 40 will remain. 10 eliminations the second round. 30 will be left. 8 the third round, 7 the fourth round, 7 the fifth round, 5 the sixth round. There will then be the top 3 left. It will be the final round between the 3 of the competitors. There will be a total of 7 rounds.


HOW IT WORKS
The goal is to get as close as possible to the goal score on an individual song. Here's what I mean:

1. I'll play a song, and make sure the score is random.
2. I'll save the replay, and post the final score as well as how I got it (e.x. 32-0-0-0-0; 49,600)
3. You'll try to get as close as possible to that score. The (32-0-0-0-0) part doesn't matter at all. You could get something extremely far away from that, but if you're close to the final score (in this case 49,600), then that's what matters.

For example, a AAA on Excite Bike will give you a raw score of 1,600, and the final score is 49,600. I'll post a FINAL score for you to emulate, not a raw score. It'll be extremely random, usually nowhere near a AAA.

There will be ONE DIVISION! since this really doesn't require too much skill at all.

I will update this post ASAP every time someone posts a new score. You can submit as many times as you want, but only the most recent submission will count. If you send me multiple submissions, I will not check which score is better. I will update with the most recent score, no matter what. So DO NOT SEND ME WORSE SCORES THAN YOU PREVIOUSLY SENT.
Ties will result in a one-day round in which the affected players will be given a new song and score to play.

ROUNDS
Round lengths will be approximately one week. The exact lengths will be posted once the round starts. Number of rounds will be based solely on number of participants.

PM SCORES TO ME
I need a screenshot to go with it. Title the PM with "Tourney Score" or something along those lines so I know what its about ahead of time.

2nd place-20,000 credits
3rd place-6,938 credits

Thanks for the approval =D
Since it took a few days more than I thought to get the approval, I'll extend the signups by a few days.

PM's don't really take that long. I'd appreciate it if you PM'd me. Tournament forums can get pretty overcrowded with posts and its easy to miss a score submission.

Well, if I fail the song and post that score, then it'd be best if you failed around the same time. If I fail and you pass it doesn't really matter as long as you got bad enough PA to get around the same score as I did on that song.

All within the first page and they all say this thing would be cool/fun etc.

Lets see all their tourney stats...
Zybanthia:eliminated first round due to no submission.
nois-or-e:eliminated first round due to no submission.
breakdown16:still in, submitted round 2 (I think) I'll check my PMs again.
cyrenics:seemed happy with this idea. eliminated 1st round for no submission.
tangomango:still in, I'll check PMs again to see if he submitted.
Sprite-:survived the random.org generator last round, but I specifically remember him NOT submitting this round. Damn. Sounded like he thought it'd be fun.

Can those of you who've regulared this forum throughout the tourney tell me whether or not you've thought it was at all fun? Did it completely suck? An alt. score system was PMd to me not long after the tourney started, and its much better than the one I have now. I planned on using it in the next tourney I host. If this tourney will fail miserably, which it looks like it may happen because of people telling me they forgot about it (kind of hard with all the reminder PMs I send) I'd like to have an extra round (after the final round) in which anyone who had submitted at any point may participate in and I'll give two songs and scores and I'll use that alt score system. It seems much more fun and interesting. I want to do that and I'll base my decision to hold another tourney like this off of feedback from that round.

*EDIT* Those of you who HAD submitted and stuff, thanks for using a little time for the tourney. Not too many people are active in it, and it looks like it'll only be a competition between about 20 of the original 55. Decent credit prizes for such a small amount of participation.

[Bolth mannn]

so much for the 'we dont need divisions because this doesnt require any skill'...you definately need skill to even AAA survive...and now your asking us for 3 times speed mod or blink, only the good people will make it through...you shouldve made divisions, otherwise its totally unfair...
