One quick question, suppose I use FFR to upload my inages for the tournament instead of a image hosting site would that be acceptible?

**Breakdown16** · 06-8-2008, 10:03 AM

I think people have done that for the past tournament, but I'd use Imageshack or Photobucket just to be on the safe side. I'm usually too lazy, so I like to attach images directly into my post for unofficial tournaments. For this one, though, I'll be using Imageshack.

Bingo and thats why I mentioned about telling them which it is. Just delete all the other junk ones from that song and keep the one you want to submit. And chances are that he'll be the only person that needs to do it that way since 99% of everyone here can just use paint lol.

P.S. Today is last day for signs ups....very.....EXCITED!

**Adamaja456** · 06-8-2008, 10:37 AM

about 1500 people so far in this thing! Lots and lots of competition

Obviously, all of the excellent players are probably practicing their butts off right now.

It also doesn't help that my finals week is very soon, probably around the time of round 2 or so.

plasma dragon007 · 06-8-2008, 01:30 PM

finals start on wednesday for me, go through friday and on to monday, my last day of school.

not even practicing tho lol

idc if i win or not, main thing for me would be the cash, maybe the tshirt too. subscription, eh i dont even remember what it does anymore. and i dont remember if we get credits from this one in one of the lower divisions or whatever, but i got enough credits... 19,200 credits O_O

damned if i do, damned if i dont lol ^_^

soneone else mentioned this and i wonder also, how will we know what division we are in? will a list be posted in this topic or on the front page? (or both)?

Doesn't help that I'm leaving to Michigan in like 3 weeks >.>

Dominewyorican · 06-8-2008, 02:03 PM

A run down of things answered by staff for those who don't want to look through the pages. I only left out the very first post by sprite because its long...and you can just click first page to read it yourself (which you should have done before even posting) and some repetitive stuff....don't be lazy.

No, that's not correct. The division is one big list of names, and each round everyone submits scores, and are ranked in one giant list. The top X people on that list at the end of the round advance, the bottom Y people on the list are eliminated. There is no direct one-on-one competition.

For at least the first several rounds that will end up a guarenteed pass -anyway- but traditionally yes, a AAA gets you through the round, though Sprite- may well use a tiebreaker on AAAs in later rounds, you'd have to wait for an official statement on that.

Each round of the official tourney tends to get its own stickied thread, and the rounds are going to be posted the same day, same time, each week.

And for everyone trying to predict what division they will be in, many of you are underestimating how high you'll be. Last official tourney I had about 12 AAAs, 100 FCs, and no tier points, and was put into D2 (And there were only 4 divisions at that point) I made it to round 4 before I was soundly eliminated by not even being able to FC my song.

People should stop trying to suggest where they belong, or to insist that their stats don't reflect their skill, or ask us to tell them in advance where they will end up.

The people who will make up D5 can probably all self-identify, or alternatively you could just go look up who is in T0-2 and you'd probably have a pretty good list. Looking at T3-5 could probably get you a reasonable list of the D4 people. The vast swath of D1 people will likely have never or only rarely ever posted on the forum, have probably under 1,500 games played, and likely haven't taken part in any tourney or event before.

Chances are, if you even remember the last tourney, you're looking at D2+

Since you can only protest your division if you want to ask to be moved -upwards- and it's already been made explicit how the division choice is going to go, posting repeatedly about the division you'll be in, or that you think you should be in, is really just postwhoring at this stage.

in terms of difficulty:
D1: 2 6s, 2 7s, 3 8s, 2 9s, 1 10
D2: 1 7, 4 8s, 3 9s, 2 10s
D3: 2 8s, 4 9s, 3 10s, 1 11
D4: 1 9, 4 10s, 4 11s, 1 12
D5: 1 10, 6 11s, 3 12s

if you compare that to last year, you'll notice that the songs are MUCH harder, across the board. we expect far fewer AAAs of the songs being given across all divisions, especially in the lower ones.

and it likely will just be sprite doing the scores.... which, yes, will take a bit of time for the first round or two, with thousands of people submitting. but by week 3 or 4, it will be much faster. you'll deal with it, i'm sure.

it is starting the week of june 9th, as stated in the news post. we don't have an exact date, because we have to take the time to put everyone into their proper division.

vROFL will be up for grabs in all 5 divisions... the top 8 people will get it. although, if someone in the top 8 already has it, 9th place will NOT get it. so, it is UP TO 8 that will get it, not the top8 who do not already have it. which is why in the front page news story, it says "(up to 40)".

if you already have vROFL, you get to prevent someone else from getting it. that is your prize.

Yes, cash prizes will require paypal, T-shirt prizes will require a mailing address. If either of those is unacceptable to you, I'm sure you can work out an alternate arragement.

I imagine if getting everyone sorted into divisions takes 2 days or less, it could start as early as the 10th of June. If it looks like it will take longer, it will take longer. There's no chance of it starting any later than the 15th unless Tass, Sprite- and I all get the flu at the same time or something.

Previous performance isn't going to factor into your division placement. If by stats and apparant skill you're still a beginner, you'd be in the beginner division. If however, you did come in 2nd inbeginner last year and have made any improvements at all, yes, chances are you'll end up bumped up into intermediate.
