We'll make a better one

USA Taiko Tournament

Welcome to the first official American Taiko tournament!

Hello my fellow Americans. I'm here today to inform you that YOU, my lovely little burgers, are invited to an Americans only Taiko Tournament. Yeah, you! Garpo and I have struck up this idea and we think it would be very fun as an event before TWC 2016 starts, perhaps also as scouting for our USA team in the upcoming event. Maybe there will be a break-out player in this event, or maybe it'll be the same old dominance. We'll all have to see in the upcoming couple of months. I hope all of the best players come out and compete to their best ability. Thanks for reading!

Sign-ups are to be done by PM. Send Garpo or I a message on the website or in-game about signing up. There is no rank cap. Please include your timezone! i suck at writing so bad

Stream Link: TBD

Rules
1: 1 on 1 Taiko Match in team style format with a point given to the highest score.
2: First to 3 points for first round, 5 for finals and 4 for every other round.
3: Map pools will contain 7 NoMod, 3 HD, 3 HR, 3 DT, 3 EX, and 1 Tiebreaker.
4: Players are only allowed to pick once from the mod pools.
5: You are granted 1 map to ban per match.
6: Each player gets 1 warm-up map to start up the match, if they wish to play one. This is the only situation where ANY mod(s) can be used.
7: Roll is used to determine who will get the first pick and the first ban. The winner of roll will select the first map, whereas the loser will ban the first map.
8: Tiebreaker will be played only if both players are 1 point away from winning. It is not free mod.
9: Players will be seeded according to their global rank.
10: This tournament style is much like the World Cup, with a Group Stage followed by a knock-out structure with a loser bracket.
11: The tournament participants will be decided by rank, however if the response is big enough we will expand the roster size
12: United States players only in this tournament.

I'd like to join but my Tako skills aren't really up to par. If needed I can play but I'll just be in it for fun. I guess I'll send a message to you. Regardless best of luck everyone.

i'm scared about joining due to my inflated rank and the potential embarrassment of being knocked out in the first round

I implore everyone to sign up regardless of rank, if there is a huge response we can try to expand the tournament.

Hmmmm... tempting. I'll come back in here with my decision, but I've been playing a little bit of Taiko since MWC and I like to think that I could improve quite a bit in the face of competition, haha.

EDIT: just so I'm clear, there is no rank cap, right? I know I have a pretty sub-standard rank and low performance point count, haha.
EDIT2: oops, apparently missed the part about PM for sign-ups, my bad - I swear I know how to read

Twitter - random stuff, etc | YouTube - various rhythm game videos
