[Concluded] Psychoangel691 hosts a tourney

[Gun92]

In if sign ups are still going on. I was thinking the same thing the other day about all the tournaments I used to see going on and all the ones I hosted. I don't even think I could do one with how infrequently I play any more. My knowledge is all gone >.<

Since this is not an official tournament and my skill drop is legit, I have had sunburn and just not being active. D5 Please?

If I place you based on a skill drop then I have to do the same for everyone else that claims they've had one. As you can imagine that wouldn't work out very well would it?

You could always split D5/6 into D5 A/B etc.

I'm pretty out of the loop myself, especially when it comes to songs that have been released. But I figured I'd go for it anywhere. Very first tournament I ever hosted I pretty much had no knowledge of what I was doing so I can't be any worse than that XD. If you wanna host one I say go for it. I miss the user tourneys.

I already have a D7 that we never used to have so that basically is D6A if you think about it. Then likely what will happen is people will be shifted downward because we're not likely to have a D1 really. So the D2 people would be "D1" but they'd still get songs like they would D2 of course. Then from there people would be shifted around. But this would give room to shift others around.

Like I said before though, I'm mostly just trying to get people into preliminary groups because it's easier to look at how people fair against one another that way for me. I'll be making some shifts for sure, but at least I have a starting point now.


Edit: I would only want to do a flight division situation if we had a lot of signups. If this gets to a certain point I'll consider it but I don't want it to be like 4 people competing against each other and that's it type of situation if I can help it.

actually nevermind sign me up for d7, I need to push myself

Why is every single FFR tournament conflicting with my schedule..?
Just ONCE, I'd like to be able to try one out.

There's definitely going to be some restructuring in D5/D6 whether it be moved down or flights we'll have to see. I'm still going to give time for people to sign up and see if we get more people in the lower divisions.

I think standards for divisions might need an overall revamping in general. The skill gaps in D5/6 are fairly large still.

Well this a cumulative scoring tournament so you could try fitting it into your schedule. Worse case just drop if you can't do it.

Donated 26,667 credits. /round number yey

Any chances that rounds include songs from alternative engines?

The skill gaps in D6 scare me. There are people who can consistently score good on 80+'s while there are some of us who only have certain 80+'s that we can score well on. Also there's that tier of D6 who's afraid to move up to D7 and clusterfuck the division with their 85+ sdg's and 90+ FC's that make the rest of us look like D5.

I think for this tournament I'll stick with the main engine since I didn't put it up that others would be used. I'm not sure who's familiar with other engines and who's not. I don't want to give a huge advantage to someone who has used these engines before against someone who may not have. In the future I might host tournaments that bounce around the other engines. I would like to make user tournaments a more regular thing again.

I'm very much aware of the skill gap, prior to losing skill I was on the bottom end of the skill gap in D5. Right now I just separated people based on the usual official tournament type guidelines. Remember I was the one that initially did flights I will try to make this as even as possible, just give me the time. I'll try to have everyone into finalized divisions by tomorrow afternoon.

I'm still seeing this as a one division utopia where prizes are scaling in a more friendly way toward people who participates. That way players would just focus on doing the best they can with people around their skill range. Top D7 player is almost guarantee to win, but I think it makes the entire process more fair and easier to deal with.. I agree that you sort of lose the chance to "win your division", but in the end, it just feels more stable as a system. /opinion

I've pretty much always done participation prizes in my tournaments and will do them here. But of course the winners are still going to end up with more, it would be a bit weird if they didn't.

Well best of luck, honestly I think it's damn near impossible to objectively place people into divisions, but I won't hold anything against your decision on placements. You've done a fair job in the past as far as I can remember.

That statement was generally raising awareness at how diverse the skill levels in the top divisions are. Kinda goes beyond the spectrum of the tournament and I feel I'm getting off topic.
