We are officially One Week away from Game Day!! I don't know about anybody else, but I'm excited to see how it goes.
Over Today and Tomorrow (12/7-12/8) I'll be messaging every contestant their Room Number and Time of competition, including the Passwords for the Rooms so that there are no excuses. IF YOU NEED TO BE SWITCHED, I MUST KNOW BY WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 11th OR YOU ARE STUCK IN THE ROOM YOU WERE ASSIGNED
I am also working on the Mappools for the 2nd Round Tournaments for the Advanced and Expert Tournament Levels. Please be advised: The songs are MUCH more difficult than Round 1. Don't get comfortable if you think that you will cruise right through to the finals, or you'll crash and burn quickly.
Otherwise all I can give are a couple of Tips of what I would recommend for this
1. On the day of your Game, it would be very very wise to look on the Message Boards here, because if a Room is a bit behind, then everybody falls behind a bit.
2. Make sure that you give yourself time to warm up a bit before you go into the room, because we won't have a Warm Up song in the room. But at the same time, Don't warm up 3 or 4 Minutes before the Tournament Starts, because then you will cause the tournament to run behind. I understand sometimes there are issues, that's why there is a 5 Minute Grace Waiting Period before the Tournament Actually Starts. But don't be rude and make us need to wait 5 Minutes if its not necessary
3. Don't leave songs out of your practicing, even if you got an 'S' or 'SS' Ranking your first time. That doesn't mean that you'll get that Ranking all of the time, and it's good for variety sake
4. On the Other Side of the coin from 3, Don't burn yourself out on the songs to the point that you despise their existence.
5. Just have a Good Time. The whole Reason that I started it was to enjoy myself and to meet new people. Everybody else should do the same (Though don't give up the drive to win)
