8th Official FFR Tournament - Final Round!

Re: 8th Official FFR Tournament - Round 6!

There's still a huge difference between playing everything and getting a positive score. They can just hit the intro, quit and register a score.

Which completely defeats the purpose of getting them to play every song to begin with and would just make it more of a pain in the ass to go through ranks.

This summer. Hopefully it goes back to annually, and not bi-annually.

I don't ever recall a date being announced for another official, and that would be way too soon to have one either way, especially considering that there will need to be at least two batches to have enough files for the tournament and weekly releases in between as well.

I don't even know who's taking them over so I wouldn't even say that.

Well I would certainly hope it doesn't happen during school again. The summer is definitely the ideal time to have a tournament, with much less dropouts.

who knows, we'll see how it turns out in the future.

There's nothing wrong with bi-annual tournaments. You don't have to play in both. It gives people with different schedules an opportunity to play. Our Winter is other people's summer, keep that in mind.

Not only that, but not all of the players who play this game are under 18. Some of them might be taking college classes during the summer too, haha.

Re: 8th Official FFR Tournament - Round 6!

Summer would be nice but if not no biggie, I was just wondering to see how many months of practice I can squeeze in before the next so hopefully I'm not out so early haha

Well considering beary was the hot topic of today he has a good deal of his ranks filled out. But hey lets just keep making snide remarks in the thread to instigate.

hmmmmm....don't play for a long time, lose your skill then play in the tourney and skillboost (aka gaining back the skill you lost from not playing so you're right back where u started) uhhhh, no thanks.

EDIT: if this was sarcasm towards Beary, I clearly missed that.

Re: 8th Official FFR Tournament - Round 6!

I think when it comes to future officials shorter rounds should be considered. This would reduce the chance of people skillboosting as much. It's really getting old that we have to go through this every single tournament.
If I truly believed beary were sandbagging I would have done something about it but the kid has over 100 plays on Beatrice as is and notes that with restarts it's around 600 plays on his profile. It's not like this entire thing has been coming to him easily. Had he been blasting through all of the last few rounds I might have suspected something, but he hasn't.

Re: 8th Official FFR Tournament - Round 6!

I haven't really been in official tournaments before, but I really doubt a perfect run until round six is a proper idea. I'm pretty sure many people here have been in officials before, and I see them posting in this thread too. This suggests that it's really not "just a skillboost". I can't say I really care that much about it personally, but it does kind of annoy me that psychoangel just keeps saying it's a natural and normal skillboost. I mean, if it were, then this would have happened in all the previous officials too, right? (Did it?)

I've also heard rumours about beary having another account before this one and having some decent scores on it, but I obviously can't tell for certain.

On an unrelated note, it would be a good thing to at least force contestants to have recorded scores on at least an X amount of songs. Letting people play every song in-game would be too much of a requirement and make many people stop from joining; but a particular (not too high) percentage sounds fair (e.g. 200).
