Well I guess I'm in this tournament after all \:D/

Times I can play, uhhhh, probably between 8 PM and 12 AM or so. East coast time, GMT-5, etc. It'd be nice if someone PM'd me when the brackets are decided because I'm probably gonna forget all about this tournament otherwise xD

inb4 I lose round 1 since not easy mod tournament

Yeah, weekends are good. Preferably not early in any way. Also, have people who aren't playing in the tournament pick the maps for future rounds like in the world cup.

Why do you recommend doing this? Me and Sync only know the list of maps ~1-3 hours before posting it in this thread, and that's only so we can decide what maps to choose to be in the tournament. Also, for later rounds, we're going to be sure to have a good mix of stream/accuracy/jump maps. And as Sync mentioned in the OP, anyone is free to suggest any changes to the list, though I think the round 1 list should be considered final by now.
Topic Starter
Sync
Looks like that is it! To those who still wish to participate, feel free to PM me in case somebody drops out of round 1.

The tournament will be starting October 19th. That's one week from now. Everybody has been matched up (view it here). People were matched up based on their pp -- matched with the person furthest away from their pp rank as possible, #1 gets grouped with #32, #2 gets grouped with #31, #3 gets grouped with #30 and so on.

Scheduling
It is up to you as a player to come up with a time/date that you both you and your opponent can agree on. After that, post on the thread including the time you have agreed on. Adjustments may have to be made; if they are, I will contact both of you. If for some reason you cannot make the time you previously agreed on, PM me at least one day in advanced. We'll have time to reschedule. If you don't contact me and you don't show up, you'll be disqualified.

The earliest you can play your first match is October 19th (early afternoon, 3pm). The latest you can play your first match is October 22nd (late evening, ~10pm). See the first post for an updated schedule.

Some further information:
We have not decided on how round 2 (and further) maps will be chosen. Round 1 maps will stay the same (adjustments can still be made, but it'll be finalized by tonight) but for later rounds a person not participating may choose the maps to ensure absolute fairness. I'll keep you updated.

Well then I stand corrected, gonna be eliminated first round :P

I just realized, why is the highest ranked players playing the lowest ones?

It's set up so that lower ranked players will be dropped into the loser's bracket to play against other lower ranked players, and then be eliminated very quickly. It's also set up so that players of higher rank won't meet until the final rounds, since it wouldn't be that interesting if me and SapphireGhost were playing against each other in the first or second round. ;>
Derekku
We could really use a pack of all the round maps in the OP! Are the maps even finalized yet? :I

Me and nekoroll are planning at 10PM EST right now.

I have a retreat that starts on Friday and ends on Sunday. I will probably be home by then, but I will ask the organizers to make sure. Right now that's pretty much the official time we settle on, but I will try to confirm this as soon as possible just to make sure nothing stupid happens.

Awesome.
Floks
Sorry if this isn't obvious, but when we choose a map to play, what are the guidelines.

I'm assuming no mods, but is there a difficulty requirement for each map? Or are all difficulties available for the listed round 1 beatmaps?

As it says in the OP, play the hardest difficulty of every set, unless otherwise specified.
Floks
Ok, and what determines the hardest difficulty? Lowest on the map list? Or the one with the highest ranked score? I guess how do extreme, another, advanced, angelhoney, etc. rank against each other?

Edit: I just don't wanna pick the wrong dif by accident xD

AngelHoney is the highest difficulty in Votarum stellarum. Extreme is harder than Advanced (as per jubeat) and Another is harder than Hyper (as per beatmania). I do think it's silly not to have all the difficulties specified in the OP, so I'll talk to Sync about it.

I was thinking that too. I think 1 or 2 of the maps have a hyper diff lower then the another diff. I always just thought hyper was jumpier and another was more streamy. Each difficult in their own aspects.

I'll get the pack up and specify all the difficulties in the OP

also updating the schedule

edit: Added the prizes in OP! (still need to do the pack...)
Derekku
Looks like the pack is done. : )

Also, 'Sabamiso!' is definitely the highest/hardest diff from that song. However, the drain is kinda harsh which is probably why 'Insane!' was picked instead?

That was totally a mistake... thanks for pointing it out

I believe its each person gets to pick their own song to play. Each song is played twice. Or we each get to pick 2 songs each, each song played once. In case its 2-2 there is a dedicated song (we don't know of?) that is selected by the ref for us to battle it out to the death with.

You choose whatever map you want to play from the list of round 1 maps

You get to pick two maps each. If it ends up being 2-2, then you will go into a tiebreaker.

Read the OP again. Check under the round 1 maps. It's listed there.

The person with the highest score wins, regardless of whether or not they fail.

Ah, another question...

Are there any rules regarding funspoiler settings?

Say, one of the players has played the map before and has 90% dim, no SB and no skin, but the other player has not played it and therefore will be playing without these settings.

Doesn't seem quite fair to me, but I dunno. Is there any way this will be handled or will it just be left alone?
Garven
It'd be nice to leave everything at default but I dunno if there's a way to track at all. I'd say it's more the responsibility of the player to at least practice each possible map beforehand.

Hmm, that seems to almost defeat the point of a tournament to me, so I kind of disagree with that responsibility. Well, I personally put more weight on a player's ability to sightread over their ability to play a map many times and get good at it. In any case, I guess I'll have to play through everything to turn off skins and such anyways.
Garven
Although I agree with the sentiment, if you're presented the list of maps to play, that line of reasoning is kinda moot, haha. If you want, we can agree to not practice those maps until the rounds and have the judge choose maps for us for kicks.

Nah, that doesn't sound quite right. I think being able to practice is okay, although it's not something I'm personally up to doing, but I wouldn't stop anyone else from doing it if they felt like it. It's only the funspoiler settings that really throw me off, but I guess I'll just have to go through and play each map at least once for that.

Pretty sure those people in OWC get 99% FC during their matches because of praticing.

You're allowed to use them. We gave you a list of maps to practice beforehand, so we expect you to take that advantage if you want to use the fun spoiler settings.

sCam has to leave due to some real life issues.

That means SapphireGhost and Unizer move on to round two. Sorry you guys couldn't play this round! Hope you still have fun until your first match though. Will update the bracket later today.
