Official Tournament Special Batch
Official Tournament Special Batch
This batch is currently closed. Submission Criteria specialsubmissions@gmail.com Submissions must follow regular batch rules. Submissions must be a .zip or .rar file and be sure to note that the submission is for the official tournament batch. What I'm looking for: *Files that fill the difficulties found in the spreadsheet here. *Files that test more than one skill, for example a file that has streams and jacks in it instead of something that is just jumpstreaming. *I'm less concerned with the 89+ area due to the hard songs batch. If you have submitted a file there do not send it again for this batch, I will be looking at accepted files from other batches to fill slots. If you have something 89+ that you have not submitted to that batch you are welcome to submit it here. Please post what difficulty you think your file is in this thread so that we can hopefully get people going for different slots and fill them up quickly. Judgment Process Being that we're doing our best to get the official tournament up and running for the month of December, TC_Halogen and I will be judging submissions as they come in. If a file is accepted the difficulty will be determined and I will highlight the text in the slot green on the spreadsheet. Be sure to check the spreadsheet to see what slots get filled, some will be filled by files from other batches. Files that are accepted but do not fit into a tournament slot will be used for FFRmas or transferred to regular queue. File submissions can be tracked on the Batch Search Engine. Files Submitted as of 04/26 8:15 am EST Transferred Files Judgements Final judgment set: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...it?usp=sharing Resub Notes

Re: Official Tournament Special Batch
you've got a year's worth of files just sitting there, and now you're asking for more files?

Re: Official Tournament Special Batch
from the looks of it, AJ and Kayla are going to be running through this batch independantly of the FFR batch itself.
people want the official tournament to happen, and this looks only to expedite the process, given that the batch is only beginning to return to a good speed of judgement. faster! is probably something in the low 80s ish idk if journey will be accepted, but probably mid80s+ cirno is some lower difficulty, maybe like VC or something on the old scale (i'm bad with difficulties) |

Re: Official Tournament Special Batch
If you read I clearly said that I'm going through the other batches. Have you taken notice to the acceptance rate of files? Do you really think I can fill in all these slots just going through the batches? Do you think that I'm going to get so lucky that the files I find in the regular batches will be the right difficulties? I'm doing what I need to in order to get this event off the ground. I could have just done an internal batch of a few select people, instead this is open to everyone.

Re: Official Tournament Special Batch
I actually do kind of agree with Scintill.
Seems weird when there's so many waiting to be judged, but I'm also sympathetic with Kayla because... well, those files aren't judged yet lmao I guess she just wants to speed along the process of constructing an Official, and this is one way to do it. I do think it would be wise to go through the unjudged files from the queue though and pick out some obvious winners for the Official. That would lessen the load on the judges (fewer files that are just "ok 9/10 good stuff") and get some of the best material into the Official. As for me, I still have a decent backlog of files and I can step any difficulty that's needed if asked, so I have no reason to submit now. I think I'll wait until later on when there's only a few slots left that are difficult to fill and try to step something specific for them. I enjoy that challenge. I do hope there's room to submit Chipwrecked for this, though. I think it would fit well. Sadly 85ish files tend to be fairly abundant in the batches, but you never know.

Re: Official Tournament Special Batch
can we recommend files that were recently queued for this
For instance I've got three files in in the conditional queue atm and I think they would all make decent tournament files (one for early D1 and the other two for early-mid D2), and I'd be happy to fix them up soon* if so

Re: Official Tournament Special Batch
I sent all the rest of my files to the regular batch but would be fine with them being judged for this. If moving them is fine I'll send another e-mail and post the difficulties here.

Re: Official Tournament Special Batch
You're clearly very naive if you actually believe that considering every official tournament since doing all new files has involved getting files from outside the batch to fill gaps needed.
Quote:
Regardless of how many files are waiting to be judged this is a good thing for the tournament because it's allowing for better tournament files to be brought in rather than settling for files. If you haven't noticed in many of the officials we were forced to settle for difficulties or files that weren't that great for a tournament setting because we didn't have what we needed. Plus we need more files in queue anyway, we haven't even been able to go back to songs of the week yet because it's so low not to mention we have ffrmas coming up as well.

Silvuh has made a draft of a new transfer policy which allows stepartists to move their files from the regular batches to a special batch if the file matches specific criteria. In the case of the Official Tournament Batch, there are specific difficulty ranges. So rather than having to waiting for a long backlog of regular batches to finish, stepartists can use the transfer policy as a shortcut to move files fitting that specific difficulty criteria to the Official Tournament Batch. The transfers don't count towards submission slots in the special batch, although the slots in the regular batch are still taken by that file. Think of the policy as a way to skip through a long line of waiting without being penalized. Sample scenario: - Stepartist has a file in July 2015 - Stepartist feels like the file fits the 27-29 difficulty range, so the stepartist makes a request to transfer the file from July 2015 to the Official Tournament Batch. - The file is looked over for a rough difficulty estimate and if it does fit the difficulty range, it is moved to the Official Tournament Batch with an update stating it was a transfer from July 2015. |

Re: Official Tournament Special Batch
I actually didn't even know about the transfer policy yet, so there you guys go if you have stuff submitted already that you want to transfer here you can make that request.

Re: Official Tournament Special Batch
Sent a mid 30's ish file, and 3 files that are probably around mid 50- low 60 range. Bad at determining difficulties so forgive me if they're bad estimates.

Re: Official Tournament Special Batch
It's okay, just having a general idea of what gaps people are trying to get into helps. I'm going to go through some of these when AJ gets off work and we'll get some estimate difficulties as well.

Added the files that have been submitted so far to the OP for quick reference. We'll be taking a look at some of these shortly.

Emoji has been stuck in my head all day today so I'm most likely going to step it now.

Bring The Madness (feat. Mayor Apeshit) - Really not sure of the difficulty. Maybe low 40's at most? Follow You (Rhythmics Remix) - High 40's/Low 50's Suit Up (feat Southpaw Swagger) - 60's, maaaaaaaybe a borderline FMO |
