9th Official Tournament -- Round 8

Re: 9th Official Tournament -- Sign-ups closed.

who wants to dedicate that much time in 1-2 days. Granted a lot of people are really able to just spend less than an hour on the song and AAA and wait the week, but there are a lot of people who don't want to have to feel like they need to come home from work and immediately play the game if they want to stay in the tournament. If it were only two days and starts Thursday night, I'm one of the people who would have to play after work on both Friday and Saturday if necessary and I just wouldn't want to have to deal with that. It's really nice knowing that you have a week that you can find time to set aside to score on a song, especially if you truly need a lot of time to improve your score or try to improve your score. Don't even know why I'm responding because there's no way that'll happen xD Just kinda bothered me and I'm letting it out I guess xP

In my opinion, a round should only last a day or two, not a week.
If one doesn't have time to play at least every 2 days imo they are not worthy of becoming a winner

Absolutely not true under any circumstance. Here's some food for thought:

I work 8-10 hours a day, minimum of three days a week, I'm a full time CS student, I have two kids, and I'm handling of all sorts of stuff for the tournament, including file syncs, dashboard handling, file uploading, etc.

...I'm also playing in D7 as well, lol. Two days is ridiculously short for people who actually have legitimate responsibilities and still want to play the game. A week better accommodates for people. A week has been the standard for the official, and it should stay that way -- I'm sure as hell not changing that

Let's say you work 8 hours + getting to work and going back, 1-2 hours
Then if you sleep for 8 hours that's about 18 hours from your day. 6 hours remain for one file or 12 if it's 2 days. That should be more than enough time to optimize it lol

Let's say you have an unexpected death of a family member who you were close with and they lived out of state. Seeing as they meant a lot to you you pay your respects and travel out of state for a few days (72 hours). As you're about to walk out the door, to depart for your out of state trip (just an assumption) but I don't think a persons top priority is "Shit I need to go grab my laptop/computer so I can submit a score for a FFR tourney," leaving you with 0 hours out of a possible 72. Point being....you can't control life and for some, FFR isn't the most important thing in life to make time for.

FFR isn't the most important thing in life to make time for.

So you wouldn't feel bad if you got dropped out of the tourney, right?

w/e I was just mad because waiting is boring and I hate boring

We all have our own lives though. I won't dedicate my entire 24 hours a day for the sake of just one round of FFR. I have school, courses, some other unwanted plans that require me to not be playing FFR.

I'd say it depends.

Realize that this question is highly irrelevant because I am not changing the round length, as people are usually able to get something in within 7 days.

Well, sometimes it pays to be patient. There really wasn't a need for any of this ignorance.

This is your first warning: bring up division placements to me in private and not in the forums. Continued instances will result in removal from the tournament.

Second: I did post in the thread at least twice that D2 and D5 are being reworked, as the entry point standards definitely were a bit lower than I wanted this time around, and it's really not anyone's fault but my own. I structured the tournament a particular way, and a number of users were affected by it -- I am looking over the D5 players and will be docking a few players down to D4 (as well as looking at the D2 players and moving a few up to D3).

I will then take a quick glance at the players that I still feel are borderline and make a final decision.

If I had to drop out due to serious family and/or other issues, emergencies, what have you, then no I wouldn't. But if I got "bored" and decided I didn't want to play anymore then yes, I would for essentially wasting the time of the staff to include me in the placement process when in reality I had no intentions of finishing.

They're taking time out of their lives to organize this for you to even play in so you should be thankful instead of complaining about round length. Two solutions to your boredom

1) Play other songs to get better while your waiting
2) Don't sign up in the first place so you'll have nothing to wait for

Have you been in D6 before and if so, have you gotten really far in D6?
