I don't believe it's the right way to just count all the points together that a player received throughout the tournament, since some of the maps have got really different attributes (max. combo, style, difficulty) than others, thus resulting in total imbalance. So while players may get 500k points on one map (if they even pass) they could get those 500k by hitting 30 or so notes in a 1k combo. With this system, from my point of view it would be the smartest thing to say: "Why should I bother with passing Cirno's Perfect Math Class if I could get a ton of points by learning to get FC on Netoge Haijin Sprechchor with a lot less effort?"
I dare to say it discourages players at about my level to even bother with some maps, which is bad. You should remember that this isn't a pro tournament (with some exceptions though ^^), so many people will think like that.
I'd suggest that the ranking should be with internal points like you've wanted it before, using the multiplayer ranking (and also counting the failures). Like the first one in a map will get 7 pts., the second 6, etc. The players who are tied at the first place could face each other afterwards. Alternatively, the 7 players with the highest points could play in that "final". It would result in quite a bit more effort, but I believe it's worth it. With a potential split of the expert group into 3, the possibility of more than a 7-way-tie would be practically nonexistent if there aren't more than 7 groups in each expert tournament.
Is there a possibility to go with that? Or are there too few helpers/moderators for this?

The most logical solution would be to give the prizes meant for the expert group to the first 10k (unless the donator disagrees), since they're most likely the best out of us. For me, it would be totally fine since I play the tournament for fun and not for the prizes.Yauxo wrote:
