Official Tournament Special Batch

Re: Official Tournament Special Batch

Forgive my confusion, but there is still one thing that I fail to understand. Bare with me, I do not want to start drama again, I really am just confused.

When AJ wrote:

here's an idea: help the progress by judging content in the new system and let the judgments under the old system and for this tournament batch actually get done as they go

what does this exactly mean? What are we able to judge and unable to judge? Why is the old system still in place, I thought it was gone? I understand for tournament files you might want to keep control for the element of surprise, but the mention of the old system caught me off guard.

The old system is still active for the November/December 2014 batch, which had some work in progress before the inclusion of the new system. To prevent logistical issues, it's been separated.

Re: Official Tournament Special Batch

ok. Does that mean the tournament files judgement is public...?

It is not; that was also created and in progress before the new system. Files intended for use in the tournament are still sent to the e-mail listed on the first post of the thread and will not be posted.

Re: Official Tournament Special Batch

Tournament files won't go public because that would basically defeat the purpose of it being all new content. If it's available for all to play then I may as well just be picking out of the engine really.

The Nov batch stayed under the old system because there were already judges working on sets and some sets that already had a set of notes. So it just made more sense to us to finish it up under the old system and start the new system fresh with the Jan 2015 batch.

Set 10 is up

Re: Official Tournament Special Batch

Is this batch still open for submissions?

I sent something to the regular batch a few minutes ago but after looking at the spreadsheet (which I should've checked earlier), it might be a fitting contingency for late D4/5 rounds. *fingers crossed*

If it's within the expected difficulty range, could my file please be moved to this batch instead?

I played it on SM and it felt like an 85-88, but knowing how easy FFR is to bullshit certain patterns; it might even be a suitable candidate for the D3 finale (79)

Re: Official Tournament Special Batch

I can grab it and take a look at it later today. My morning is jam packed.

Re: Official Tournament Special Batch

Thanks heaps! Sorry if it doesn't fit the criteria or I was wrong in estimating the difficulty, just tryin' to help fill those vacancies

Re: Official Tournament Special Batch

I know it's not easy to pinpoint the right difficulty, no worries. We've just been doing our best to minimize too much coming in of the same difficulties because the workload is already high, so adding too many files in we end up not using just makes it bigger, haha.

Re: Official Tournament Special Batch

I did take a peek at the file and I honestly am not sure where the difficulty would lie. I'm going to try to get AJ to take a look at it since he's a bit better in the high end.

Re: Official Tournament Special Batch

Awesome thanks. I struggled finding a suitable difficulty for it too, the 16ths look low 70 but the 24th bursts play mid-high 80.
I havent got my hopes up but I'm happy your getting a second opinion, I was expecting an immediate rejection to be honest.

Lemme know if you want any changes

Re: Official Tournament Special Batch

Just wanted to let you guys know what progress I've made on OT stuff in general. Yesterday was spent converting all the files that have been accepted so far to put onto the engine for difficulty purposes. I have a few people who said they were willing to look at files for me and this will help solidify whether they're in good slots for the tournament or not.

We're doing our best with the judging, but it has been a little tough with a lot of the other stuff we have going on so I don't have any progress to report on that right now. If any of the current judges would like to hop on for a single set over here to push it along let me know and I would be very grateful. I have a college project that I absolutely have to get done this week, I've been putting it off and I'm in a bit of trouble honestly.

Re: Official Tournament Special Batch

Just sent something that might fit D3 Round 5.

That's very precise!
