Tournament Structure
There are no divisions in this tournament. Divisions are a convenient way to keep people of similar skill level together, but these separations are artificial. While divisions can be fun, I think they can be a crutch as well. Based on research I did making a skill analysis metric a while ago, I came up with this:
=> The tournament consists of 7 rounds, each lasting 5 days.
=> Each round, I will give a list of 8 songs of various difficulty that participants will choose from. You may submit scores for any of them, but only the score worth the most ranking points will be counted.
=> Ranking Points is the main system of scoring. Points earned is determined using a formula based on raw score (as a percentage) and song difficulty. The actual formula and a table is included below to help you earn the most points you can. Again, if you’re unsure (or lazy), you can submit scores for multiple songs and my spreadsheet will do the work for you.
TRACKING SPREADSHEET
Rules
=> Scores will be submitted via screenshot posted in this thread (with timestamp showing it was done during the round).
=> Late scores will be penalized 5% per day; extensions given per my discretion.
=> No cheating, ever.
=> I understand this new format will come with a bit of a learning curve, but I don't want to hear any whining that you haven't been given a fair chance.
Registration
All done, no more registration
Prizes
Prize Pool Total: 190,000
AND TheSaxRunner05 has donated a Standard FFR TCG Card Pack for everyone who submits for every round of this tournament as a completionist prize.
=> Credit prizes will be awarded based on your Ranking Points relative to the total number of Ranking Points.
=> The top player will be awarded 10% of the prize pool (I may change this depending on how the math works out)
