Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight...<insert the rest>. I wish I could get rid of the mental block.

Re: Team Blue's 1st Tournament

Just noticed this. There were only two people that we decided to place in beginner that signed-up for this tournament. However, those two people had already signed-up for this tournament knowing that intermediate was the lowest division. Therefore, there was no need for a beginner division when it was indirectly shown that the two people we would have been placed in beginner were accepting a lowest possible placement in intermediate. You would've been placed in intermediate either way, though.

Also, I see no problem with starting the intermediate division off on a mid-VD. The scores are telling me that song choices have been appropriate so far. If you guys are feeling like your abilities are being pushed further than normal, then that's excellent. We want to try to challenge everybody in the best way we can.

like norse has already pointed out, the first round song should be something everyone in the division can pretty easily AAA, this round is to eliminate non-submitters....usually advanced's first song is a lvl 8. the first rounds song is something i have no chance AAAing.

these tournaments are gettin so annoying gah

Eh, I don't really follow that policy of "The first round should contain a song everyone can AAA." Seeing the majority of a division AAA a song convinces me that the song wasn't challenging enough for the division. The intention here isn't, "Race to the AAA!" It's to create a competitive atmosphere and actually challenge the participants in the process. It's not like I don't want to see people AAA the song. I just want to see them work hard to AAA it. Tiebreakers are not there to be reached, and they mainly occur due to a large amount of AAAs. Also, eliminating non-submitters has no significance to whether or not the song is easy to AAA. Non-submitters are...non-submitters. They'll be eliminated regardless of the song choice. Really, the song isn't painfully tough for you guys. It is just not going to be a breeze, so no complaining. You won't get better at playing FFR if you don't challenge yourself.

in pretty much every tourney ive been in, the 1st round isnt MEANT to be challenging. sure the 2nd round can be hard, then so on and so forth...but if you were intending a lvl 8 as your first song, you shouldve made a beginner division.

Re: Team Blue's 1st Tournament

Yea for realz. I should be in a lower division or something. Cause heck, I can't AAA either of the round 1 songs for both inter and adv. Also, I've been against Megamon88 before, he is insane. He can nearly AAA (or did he, too lazy to look) PGO.... Whatever though, I shouldn't be complaining.

Bolth, you're not understanding. Just because every other tourney you've been in has done that, it doesn't mean that it has to be done that way, and it certainly doesn't mean that it will be done that in way in this tournament. Other tournaments didn't challenge you in the first round? Okay, fine, that's great. This tournament will challenge you, and I don't care if it's the first round. It's not even like y'all are being severely challenged. I'm just making it so you guys have a better chance of improving from this tournament. Giving you songs you can AAA relatively easily is not a way to get you to improve. If you are feeling that a level 8 song is too tough for you, then deal with it. Seriously, I don't want to hear any more complaining because you can't AAA a song easily or because it doesn't coincide with the standards of every other tournament you've been in.

Good God, it's like I'm slave-driving you or something. Haha, geeze.

Edit:

First, just because you're not up to par with someone else in your division doesn't mean you don't belong in that division. I believe I've already said this. Second, I hope you're not missing the point I've been trying to make regarding giving people a challenge. And again, if you were on the border between two divisions, you would most likely be placed in the higher of the two. That could have applied to you.

I agree with Hammy guys. If you don't like the tournament, drop out so the people who place get more prize money. This isn't some color-by-numbers here's how it goes sort of thing. This is my first tournament, and I'm rather disappointed to see people aren't as competitive about it as I am. However, I probably will play a million times to try to get AAAs.

I think every round should be challenging. If everyone AAA's the first round, that was a waste of time. As far as doing it to root out non-submitters, I've got a better idea. Don't sign up for the damn thing if you aren't going to participate! Certainly don't sign up and then b*tch about it for 3 rounds, either. That's rude and irritating. We're here to have fun and show off our competitive spirit, not critique the setup and song choices of a tournament you probably didn't help organize. Quit complaining and have fun. I'm not skilled by a longshot, and I still AAA'd it in 10 minutes flat. That's my best AAA by far. Try playing on the index wrap, don't forget to use autofail. I think it helps.

Re: Team Blue's 1st Tournament

I'm not sick anymore and can actually hear/feel properly
I'll have a score tomorrow, promise.

Re: Team Blue's 1st Tournament

I like the idea that hammy has. use songs that challenges its entry's. I think it will improve quiet a few people on team blue, for whoever can make it past the first 2 rounds.

Re: Team Blue's 1st Tournament

Now it's my turn to say a few words. If anybody thinks they can come up with a better way to see how most of the people on this team can handle the pressure of a tourney, please PM one of the leaders your suggestion. This tourney is to help the team as a whole by showing the leaders what you can do in terms of skill and by helping you guys to improve while having some friendly competition.

One last thing, Bolth mannn you are quitting because we are challenging you? If you dont get challenged then how will you improve?

Glad to hear you're in. I'm also gonna try to get a better score in today if possible.

Re: Team Blue's 1st Tournament

Norse, Bolth has been this way in most tournaments that I have been in with him and it is usually the same argument. Keep up the good work, I'm looking forward to a good challenge
