Re: Monstercat Tournament

Scores updated to here!

So yesterday and today I played a few harder songs (like 85+), and went from lv78 to lv83 and became D6. I'm still wondering what happened. I guess I finished catching up the skill accumulated in the previous rhythm game I used to play...

Congrats on the skillboost/skill recovery! :P

Yeah, I think an hour and a half doesn't mean much over the course of a week. But more importantly, I think late penalties (as in Badman's tourney) make more sense than flat out DQ's, which can happen as a result of a silly mistake. I would have totally understood taking a hit for 100-200 points or so, but losing eligibility feels a tad extreme.

No sweat, you're doing an awesome job!

Yeah, if I run another tournament in the future, I'll definitely be taking late scores. I feel pretty bad about the whole thing, but it's a learning moment, at least.

Is it Dads in Space?

It is! I'll send you the credits shortly.

Re: Monstercat Tournament

Reason for my late score last round is the weird naming convention of AM and PM.
Thought 12:30 AM would be 1 hour after 11:30 AM (that's when I submitted post :P)

With all due respect, do you live by military time, or somewhere where time is calculated differently, because.. wow. That's a new one.

This is a super common mistake, not a "new one" at all. I mess this up all the time.

Re: Monstercat Tournament

From personal experience, I do see people confuse 12 PM for 12 AM often enough to call it common, which is why rounds generally end at 11:59 PM. However, I don't see it happen often where someone adds an hour to 11:## PM and doesn't convert the 12:## result to AM, or vice versa. Perhaps the latter is what T-Force is referring to? That seems to be more ingrained in people.

On the topic of the unplanned round extension:
In all fairness, whether or not the participant can correctly interpret a 12-hour clock is entirely on said participant being able to do that correctly. Not to say that anyone disagrees or finds that unfair here, but more importantly waiting until the end of a seven day round to post an initial score is just an unnecessary risk regardless of the exact time the round ends. I can't really find a good excuse for doing that, barring personal emergencies.

I'm kind of on the fence about allowing late scores with a point deduction when the rounds are a week long since punctuality is a big part of competition. I can see it as being more practical with shorter rounds since you don't have as much time to bounce back if something comes up in your life. If you can't post a score within a week's time, it sounds like it's not a good idea to sign up for the tournament to begin with.

I live somewhere where we don't use AM and PM. Instead of 2 PM we use 14:00, as example.
Till now I used the conversion rule: AM means I can read it normally, while PM means I need to add 12 hours.
Apparently that rule does not work for 12:30 AM. It'd make more sense if 00:30 AM was used instead.

Edit: I don't mind about my score not being allowed, not like it'd cause me to get higher on the leaderboard anyway

Yeah, that's what we call military time.
