actually, its luck. I didn't have a method. Good luck recreating it xD you won't be able to.

I'll bow down to anyone who can recreate this and send me replay link as proof.

And choice of song: it was arbitrary. Lol

750k get with a really cool approach that I don't think anyone else will use

Should be updated to here. Remember, if at any point you spot a discrepancy in my scoring, point it out. Sometimes it's tough to wrangle numbers across three text documents and a spreadsheet :P

I think I'm gonna have a hard time with this tourney -- stuff's so crazy schedule-wise that it's gonna be hard to make it here in time for certain rounds to nab the time-sensitive bonuses.

voting for all 1st place ties to get rank 1... then the next lowest to get 7th (in this case). in the general case, all the rank 1s to get rank 1 points, but force the lower non-rank 1 into the spot that they would be if all the rank 1s were rated individually by speed to accomplish... 6 people all have exactly 750k, so the next score that isn't exactly 750k should be 7th.

and, IIRC, this is how you did it for your previous tournament... for the FFR portion. it should be how it's done here.

Resubmitted with my 750k score. I wonder how other people did it. My way seems the simplest, I'm just curious if Tass used it. =P

The issue people had last time was that anyone who couldn't AAA the songs was getting completely hosed on points, because the second best score was putting them into the 3rd or 4th score range. The points were like "first gets X" "2nd through 5th Gets Y" "6th through 10ths gets Z" And the scores went as you're describing, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 6, 6, 6, 9 etc.

There were complaints from the people who weren't super good at FFR that it was extra mean because AAAing both got you maximum points and pushed everyone else down into lower points.

You're only seeing it as a problem here because I made the round less difficult to complete maximally than I could have. If future rounds are harder to just have "One or more easy maximal solutions" that 6 or 7 people all get, there will be much less to complain about.

i assume future rounds will be harder to perfect, if not impossible. in those rounds it will have much less impact.

but, if you have a race, and 8 people tie exactly in score, the 9th place person isn't given 2nd. he's given 9th.

just because that person is CLOSE... they still don't deserve 2nd place points when 6+ people did better than they did. if it was ordered by speed after score, they'd be getting their 7th place or whatever anyway.

ok. so you have a lack of skill at FFR that is preventing you from getting 750k on the nose. you should be sufficiently penalized for that.

also, jon... going to PM you some suggestions for getting it... feeling nice.
