9th Official Tournament -- Round 8

[nolimits112]

From the looks of it I've gone up to D3 Still haven't been placed yet though.

[BLAZZE]

Is division 4 bad? I used to actually be good at this game, but I'm kinda meh now. Is the placement permanent?

I literally have no idea how this tournament works really even though I read the OP like twice. Am I going to have to play on one engine? Are there multiple songs per round? How do I submit my best scores? If d4 is a division where it's a bunch of easy songs where everyone AAA's everything, then screw that lol.

You're placed into a division based on your scores on songs of certain difficulties, basically. Can you AAA 80s? If so, you're probably D6+.... if you can't AAA anything higher than 30s, you probably shouldn't be D4+... it's based on your skill.

You can play on any of the three engines.
There is one song per round, and rounds are one week long.
You don't submit scores, the system just records them when you play the songs.
D4 may be a AAA-fest the first round or two, but that's because each round the songs get progressively harder. Ask what difficulty D4 is going to start with, and see how you can do on other songs of that difficulty.

Holy shit I'm d5 now? Welp, this should be intresting

[j-rodd123]

just a suggestion, the placement for D5 seems awfully generous. you should bump lots of people down to d4 to balance the borderline

It's not bad, it's just that the community achieves better scores than it did when you were active.
AAAing something on the same difficulty level as Balloon Fever won't automatically put you in D5. A file along the lines of Exciting Hyper Highspeed Star probably would, though.

Assuming the lower end of D5 is perceived the same way it has been the past few officials.
Though like j-rodd said, at first glance it seems to be a bit more generous this time around.

Keep in mind there's a D7 now. Last tournament D7 wasn't planned and only a few people were sent into it. Now that D7 was planned there's a lot more people in it and things have shifted. Plus on top of it this is a raw scoring tournament which changes things as well.

[j-rodd123]

oh i was just saying that the skill in D5 currently is extremely broad currently, and it's not like lots of D5ers were shifted to D6 tom compensate. It just seems like quite a few people seem better fitted to a D4 with a slightly higher top range compared to a D5 where they are currently faaaaaar from the top. if this shouldn't be talked about in the thread i'll stop now, just my 2 cents

There are D5ers shifted to D6, there's also 227 people still not on the dashboard. But yeah placement conversations are better left in private generally. (It's also not my tourney this year, I don't make the calls on this stuff. Just voicing that the structure of the tourney itself is a little different this year with extra division and raw scoring).

[elvis236]

Haha oh wow I'm in D5. Time to get massacred XD

[Scubasteve0110]

I havnt been placed yet, hope they do soon

[Trumpet63]

I'm kind of glad I'm in limbo....
At least it means I'm not so bad I can't play in anything except D1, lol.
Also, extra very excite...

Was the total number of sign-ups said yet?

[Riotpolice]

If it's not too late, I'm requesting a division switch to D7. I know there will be no token or credits awarded, but I would like to be in D7 for this tournament because I want to see how well I can do in D5 without the pressure of being in D5. If it's too late, that's fine 'cuz I'll stay in D5.

[hi19hi19]

Let's just put everyone in D5 and see who comes out on top

[flashpantss]

d6 = 80+ AAA's. GG me

505 was the total signups but I think there's a few that might need to be removed due to not having the required amount of game plays.

The tournament signups closed last night with a total of 505 participants --13 of which did not meet the 250 games played requirement at the time of their registration. The play count of these players will of course be further inspected on wednesday night and alternate accounts will be taken into consideration.
