If you and Gabi will be selecting the songs that are eligible, is the part in bold really necessary? I trust that you won't be choosing songs completely at random, but rather (eg) choose a random song and then decide whether it's appropriate for the tourney. During the song selection process you could specify which difficulties are allowed, and which aren't. The problem with some songs' highest difficulties have been highlighted earlier in the thread. (Some people practicing a difficulty 1000x for a high score, while others don't etc) Most of these songs have an appropriate Hard or "playable" insane difficulty as well.Cyclone wrote:
Song Selection:
- High seed gets first song choice, low seed selects the 2nd song.
- In the result of a tie, the judge will select the 3rd song. Choice will always be highest difficulty available on the song.
- Songs must be selected from a list generated by the Judges.
Restricting a choice to the highest difficulty is akin to using the previous star rating method...Neither will work nicely in all cases. A subjective valuation is definitely needed and it shouldn't be too much trouble to specify eligible difficulties for each song.
