Welcome to the NIA Rivalry Thread

This is a D1/D2/D3 Rivalry Thread and Skype Group

Do you want to ...

have fun? meet new people? find a rival? smash some keys? get dem gainz? increase activity?

If you answered "yes" to 1 or more of these,
Join The Rivalry Today!


Sign-Ups remain Open as long as this thread is active

Joining this rivalry is as simple as posting an "I'd like to join" message in this thread, or private message through FFR to THIS link only.
Once (at least) 2 rivalry staff have determined your division, you will be added to the rivalry and get your own row in the spreadsheet!

*Add me* on skype to join the skype group. (Remember to include your FFR name in your message.)

***Applications on behalf of another player will not be accepted, so please post using the account you wish to join the rivalry with. [no alts]***
Alts are already against site rules... if you're D4+, talk to CarrotCake94 about skill handicaps.

Rivalry Rules, Information, and Score Submission

Rules:

>>> SITEWIDE RULES <<<

To keep things safe and simple, we keep certain FFR site-wide rules within the Skype group as well.
The Skype Group is mainly a means for convenient communication and random chit-chat. Please be respectful.

If you do any of these things, you will be kicked from the Skype group for a certain amount of time.
Depending on how serious the infraction is, the time you are banned will be determined by the rivalry staff member.

*quoting and posting someone else's comment that caused the infraction will also gain you an infraction of your own.*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Score Submission:
~ Submit a passing score
~ Submit NEW scores only! Old scores will not count.
~ We judge by Raw Scores! (not combo scoring) so send us the better raw score
~ If you improve your score, feel free to send in another one
~ Don't submit scores with rates. If a song is really long and you feel that rates will help, NO! Don't do it... just don't...
~ Scores are to be posted into this thread, or to be private messaged through FFR from THIS link only.

If you fail to follow these guidelines to submit the score properly, you score will not be recorded.

Once you play through a song and have reached the results screen, take a screenshot by...
