RIP D4 (assuming im in D4 once again)

Placements have always been done by what you've accomplished so if you were D4 last time and haven't gotten any noteworthy D5esque scores since chances are extremely high that you're D4 again.

tldr: If your level ranks say yer D4, yer going D4 even if you skill dropped.

My skills have dropped. That's why.

If your skill has dropped, it doesn't matter.

A: Yes, you will be placed based on your stats. Even if you haven't played in a while and are rusty, there's the chance you will get back up to that level rather quickly. There's time to practice before the tournament starts and the tournament runs for two months. That's a lot of time to regain skill.

So what this is saying is that someone who may have been amazing years ago, then never played again until this month is expected to immediately make a full recovery?

The point is, it is a lot easier for someone to regain lost skill than it is gain additional unaquired skill, thus if we were to have placements accounting for skill drops, those people would pseudo-skillboost back to their old skill faster than those trying to legitamately skill boost, which wouldn't be fair.

[popsicle_3000]

lol every tournament you can count on two things:

-people talking about how there should be a D7
-discussions about skilldrops and that they should be placed lower cuz of it

I signed up, but it didn't tell me what division I'd be in. Where can I find that out?

[Zakvvv666]

You don't get placed right away, you will have to wait for someone to place you, and remember that what you see at first is not final.

What it's saying is there's no way of knowing for sure and it's too much of a risk factor. I've seen people who haven't played in a year, 2 years come back and wreck the game more than they used to. Hell I hardly play anymore and I played for the hell of it the other day and pulled out 8/2/5/6 on Einstein-Rosen Bridge. I was never capable of something like that before. I can't take the chance, I have to go off what people have been capable of. Plus how do I know someone hasn't been playing SM the whole time they haven't played FFR. There's just a lot of factors to it.

Indeed and the reply is always the same.

The divisions aren't automatic. I have to go through the stats of everyone that signs up and place you. I will be doing this all throughout the signup process but no placement is going to be final till about a day or two before the start. Just keep an eye on this thread and you'll know when they're finalized. I might make a front page post once they're all done as well.
