9th Official Tournament — We need files!
Hi guys.
I’ve been slowly making it known that I wanted the Official Tournament started sometime in August, but there’s one problem with that — FFR isn’t getting the volume of files that is necessary to sustain a 7-division tournament! In addition to needing a large amount of files, we also need files for precise difficulties. While I will not disclose what is precisely needed for the tournament, I will reiterate that easier files are certainly tougher to come by, and we definitely need them for the lower divisions.
I have an incentive for you all — I will reward ONE support token, or 25,000 credits if you have all three support tokens, for a NEW accepted file in a single judgment period (to be announced soon). In order to be eligible for this reward, your file must:
- be sent after July 14th. Because there will likely be a minimum of two judgment periods, you will have at least two opportunities to earn support tokens or credits after the current batch.
- be announced in this front page post. You have to post the name of the ONE file that you want to choose for this challenge, and label when it was sent. For example:
La Campanella [Nu-Rave] / Submitted: July 15th
- NOT be a resubmission of something in the last three batches. I will verify this.
- Do not attempt to submit under an alternate alias; you will be caught and eventually reprimanded.
Please note that you can send as many files as indicated by your Simfile Artist Points (if you don’t know what these are, please read the first post of the Queue/Batch Discussion Thread), but only the ONE file you post in this front page post will be eligible for the reward!
This challenge does not have a date of closure, yet. I will keep this updated with important details!

Choof: You know that I personally would love to. But, as it stands right now, it is not favored in the judge’s eyes. I was very unrelenting in the 6th Official to get SOLROS in (ask bmah) because it fell JUST short of the acceptance line, but it was a fantastic tournament file that really tested a lot. Robotomy just isn’t close enough to acceptance — I may like the file and have accepted it, but I can’t simply override the opinions of other judges.
You are welcome to submit it internally if/when the internal batch occurs, but it will still be subject to the ratings of other judges.

I’m looking forward to joining!

There are already tons of files in the game. I don’t think we’d really need this many more just for a tournament unless it’s at least 175 rounds long.
Also, do we not get any reward if our song just doesn’t happen to be one of the correct difficulty levels?

@Doug31
All Official Tournaments are Custom Tournaments, so that means every division for every round get’s a new song/file.
Posted at 6:09pm on July 13th, 2013
I have the perfect song for this, making it a 25(Ish)
Hype.
Posted at 7:30pm on July 13th, 2013
IM DOWN LIKE THE ECONOMY!

9th official hype!
Posted at 8:34pm on July 13th, 2013
Gonna be revising Those Who Fight Further and submitting for this.
Posted at 9:52pm on July 13th, 2013
So would we get this reward if we get our announced file accepted or does it also have to be used for the tournament?
Posted at 10:00pm on July 13th, 2013
Just getting it accepted. If it’s not used in the tournament, it isn’t your fault. I will do my best to make it fit, though.
Posted at 10:16pm on July 13th, 2013
Are we allowed to sumbit a song, assuming it gets accepted, and allowed to remain a FFR Player rather than a simfile author, and let my username stay black?
Posted at 10:22pm on July 13th, 2013
Yes, you definitely can.
Posted at 10:25pm on July 13th, 2013
why does this seem to be so lacking in hype
Posted at 10:30pm on July 13th, 2013
Wish I had time to learn how to step and do a song or two. Maybe in like six officials from now I will.
Posted at 11:01pm on July 13th, 2013
I’ve download a Banjo Kazooie song (since I know we already have permission), and set the .mp3 file up properly so that I can edit it into stepmania. However, whenever I try to play the song by pressing the escape button and selecting the “play whole song” text, the song keeps restarting automatically after the first few beats. How do I make it play normally?
Posted at 11:03pm on July 13th, 2013
Nevermind, you have to add notes for it to go on.
Posted at 2:21am on July 14th, 2013
Since i submitted to my cap this batch, can i submit 3 more files today as well?
Posted at 3:02am on July 14th, 2013

Posted at 3:40am on July 14th, 2013
icontrolyourworld, no, you can’t submit anymore since you’re already at your cap.
Posted at 4:03am on July 15th, 2013
how to join? do i still have to make a chart before joining? first time in FFR interested in joining tourneys…
Posted at 8:03am on July 15th, 2013
@DJSuper
Im assuming signups for the offical will begin sometime in early August. There will more than likely be a post on the front page that can handle all your questions.
Posted at 8:05am on July 15th, 2013
Also: HYYPPEE xD
Posted at 9:06pm on July 15th, 2013
You said it can’t be a resubmission of a song in the last three batches, does that mean I can’t revise a rejected song from last batch and submit it?
Posted at 6:29am on July 16th, 2013
Trying to get rights to a Bomberman remix then I will step it. It will probably be a D1/D2 song as it isn’t fast paced. But still would be nice to help out with the tournament if possible.
Posted at 11:54am on July 17th, 2013
Is there any need for criginial content? I could try to submit some music but I have no stepping experience
Posted at 8:55pm on July 17th, 2013
please submit cringinal content, so that the judges can y’know.. cringe

Precisely. I want new content, not things that have had to fight to be pushed in.

It is more accurate and not as bad as DF’s version, AJ lol. I got permissions for this song (and another one coming soon) the other day so yes, we can use it.

when is this tourney starting?! D: Is it only starting when we get enough files? if so, judging by how often the submissions come in, do you think it will be in the next couple weeks?
Posted at 1:34pm on August 18th, 2013
All I can ask of you and all other users is for continued patience. It is a constant work in progress.
The front page is now updated with the files submitted, by the way.
