Low Division Tournament

Re: Low Division Tournament

If your were to do this, then wouldn't there be a skill cap?

Maybe add another division? Like D5 would be 6-10. I would join if that were the case.

see

I probably wouldn't go higher than say 7s or 8s in D4 though, just because that's borderline D1 for most other tournaments.

I'm trying to avoid getting many of the same people that have (or can) compete in tournaments now, otherwise the idea behind this whole thing would be moot.

Re: Low Division Tournament

Another good place to recruit people to join this tournament is in MP at its most active time. There are generally a lot of unseen faces there.

Re: Low Division Tournament

This is a thoughtful idea with good intentions, but a lot of players are too afraid to even post, nevermind join any sort of tournament or even post a single score for that matter.

I'd like to see where this goes though.

Maybe post comments on the walls of unknown people and ask? lol
(I'm serious though)

I talked around there a bit, most of players all feel the same way that I thought. They all pretty don't visit the site because they feel their opinions and scores are useless. It's intimidation. With the Official being all over the front page news and in game news, I thought this might be a good time to try and grab many of players who tried to get in, but didn't make the cut.

Re: Low Division Tournament

As a low level player, I'd totally be interested. Heck I'd even chuck in 10,000 credits

Re: Low Division Tournament

Interesting concept. I'd probably join this after the F&L/New Years(?) tourney are finished.

Only problem I can see is that there might be a lot of people AAA'ing every song.

Look how hard D4 wrecked the last round of the official: all AAA's on a Lv10 - now you want them to play 5-6's? :\

Re: Low Division Tournament

Prawn, the idea behind this tourney is that the lower-level players (D1 and D2) will have a chance to shine against each other. Perhaps they missed their chance to register for the official, or maybe they've already been eliminated--half the field in each division has already gotten the ax.

The thing to remember is that division rankings are all subjective. The target audience is those that might struggle to pass 7s or 8s and so on down the line, therefore the definitions of who goes into division X need to be shifted accordingly.

Re: Low Division Tournament

no no it wouldn't be the same people - it'd be people that may or may not be able to aaa 5-6s. It'd be a whole different batch of people. Probably people who would fit in the official tourney's d1 and 2 only. maybe not even 2 idk

Ah! sorry - misunderstanding on my behalf.

So, D4 would not be D4 in this tourney, it'd be, say, a high D1.
I see.. an incredibly interesting concept.

This is exactly it. Sorry if I didn't make that completely clear in the OP.

Re: Low Division Tournament

I'd actually sign up for D4, if possible. I mean, my current skill level isn't all that great, but of course, if you said no, then I wouldn't press the issue.

In my opinion, if lower-level people KNEW about this, they'd sign up. Without knowing about it, that'd be a different story.

EDIT: Oh. and also, I'll donate creds. I've got plenty of them. xD

Re: Low Division Tournament

holy shit 2-3s? dude I don't think there is even enough people in the official tourney with that low amount of skill.

Re: Low Division Tournament

Hmm, I think I'm a little too skilled for this tourney, but I did get my roommate to start playing. He didn't want to join the official though because he knew about the wide range of skill in D1 alone. He's been recently able to FC 5's and such, so I think this would be a good tournament for him.
