Songs of the Week and Weekly Update 10/1/2022
Welcome to the first Songs of the Week Release for October! We have an interesting release when it comes to these songs, as the length and note counts get lower but the difficulty increases.
Note this is being released one day early to account for some site changes coming on Saturday.
A lot of excitement to start out this week! Today is the first day of Season 5, which marks a full year of seasons. There’s been an average of just under 400 players ranked per season so far, and we hope to see that number grow as we look to expand features and rewards! For those that ranked in Season 4, you’ll see Fall participation badges coming soon.
There’s an important change taking place with our batch system that starts today. Instead of two-month batches we will be having three-month batches to match our seasonal schedule. The submission cap will remain the same so this new schedule will allow for the judges to catch up on judging previous files. On top of this change, we are opening up applications for those looking to help us judge potential FFR content! Applications will be open until October 15th, and prospective judges will ultimately be asked to provide feedback on a few files as a part of the process.
To apply for the FFR Simfile Judge position, please fill out the application form found at this link! Good luck to those that apply!
As with previous seasonal changes, a large chunk of songs have had their difficulties adjusted. You can find the complete list of changes on our spreadsheet.
Final change is regarding our leaderboard changes previously mentioned in this front page post.
