Official Tournament 16 – Signups Open! Derustathon Begins!
It’s that time once again for another Official Official Tournament Post. Welcome to FlashFlashRevolution’s 16th Official Tournament. As always, get ready for intense elimination competition featuring an extraordinary lineup of the year’s most mind-blowing songs yet. Last year we raised the bar for the quality and presentation, and this year we hope to raise it even farther.
Want to sign-up for it? Click below, can’t miss it.
It’s that simple.
To those that might be firstcomers, or have never participated or watched FlashFlashRevolution’s Official Tournaments in the past, what is it?
The Official Tournament is a once-per-year event, where we call to arms all rhythm gaming 4-key players together to test their mettle and accuracy against one another in one of the oldest birthed rhythm games on the internet, in the traditional left, down, up and right arrows that ignited our love for rhythm games, and this website! It’s been over 20 years since the launch of FlashFlashRevolution, and our love for rhythm games expanded since then on how we play them! No matter what kind of 4 keys are pressed nowadays, FFR has grown to accommodate, and encourage anyone with the ability to hit keys fast, to sign-up.
Starting June 30th, participants will be divided into 8 divisions of skill, and will be given a week to earn the highest possible score for the host-selected song in their respective division. Every Friday between then and August 25th will see the lowest-scoring players eliminated, a new song released and another week to obtain scores. Survive 8 weeks, and be crowned king of your division! All songs/charts/maps are brand new, curated by some of the best Stepauthors in 4-key, and drafted specifically for this Official Tournament.
The one large change for this time around comes in the form of how the tournament has been managed in the background this time around. Instead of just one Game Manager handling song picks, placements, and basically everything else, this year we are trying a more spread out approach with the songs picks being decided by a panel of staff members from both the judge team and difficulty consultants. Placements will also be decided by this group, with the help of events team as well. This should hopefully make a more balanced and fun tournament regardless of what division you are apart of.
If you wish to check out more about the 16th Official Tournament, we have a Forum Thread dedicated for discussion around and during the tournament. Also, we have a Discord that has 1000′s of players talking every week! If you want to get a heads-up on your song every week, we also have OfficialFFR broadcasting on Twitch every Thursday night before songs go out! We hope to see you there, whether you laugh in excitement, or pale in fear of the songs to come!
In the meantime, our Events Team has an event for everyone that will last until the official tournament begins!
Welcome to Derustathon bingo!
In this event there will be a bingo card where each square corresponds to a challenge. If you complete the challenge for a square, you win credits. If you complete a full row of challenges, you win a profile badge, and completing three rows will earn you an event token! Check out the thread for all of the details!

Leaderboards
For those that have been following the leaderboards the past couple of weeks, you may have noticed that TristanJacob9 got FFR Rank #1 on April 28th with Lv.107 73%. At the time, the Top 3 was within 50% of each other in Lv.107 (with AnMaO in 2nd and Matthia in 3rd).
On May 9th, TristanJacob9 achieved Lv.108 after getting 3 goods on eXXXcaliborg.Error, and then kept going with a AAA on Gamma Stop Sending Me Ratchet and Clank Videos to Sample. Congratulations on being the first player to achieve D9!

Songs of the Week and Weekly Update 5/6/2023
Welcome to the first song release of May! We’re cooling down from the hard release that finished off April, and having an easier release to start off May.
Batch Judging
The 16th Official Tournament batch is now closed. The batch system will be closed for the time being, as mentioned in the previous SOTW update. Batch judging will be undergoing a different approach to help get caught up on the unjudged files. The process will be similar to how files were judged during the Dump Batch last year where the goal is more about general reviews instead of detailed ones. You can find a full explanation of the process in this post.
FFR Facebook
For those of you on Facebook, we have created a new page! Updates will be posted similarly to the previous group page, and it will also be an avenue for us to keep everyone informed if the main website were to go down. Please check it out and follow it when you get the chance!
New Staff
We recently brought on another member to the FFR staff! Please welcome our newest simfile judge, Zeta!
We have a whopping four new musicians for everyone today. Hope you enjoy the new music, and take the time to visit their socials below!
