Snow Prism 2019
2020-01-11 00:00 - 2020-03-22 23:59 | Online
SOLSTICE ARENA WELCOMES YOU TO
SNOW PRISM 2019
A Remote Semi-Seasonal Event for Singles AND Doubles Players!

After the success of our first event, Special Summer Campaign, there was so much anticipation to bring some type of sequel that waiting until next summer would just be far too long of a wait.

NOTE: TOP 4 PLAYERS FROM LOWER AND MIDDLE DIVISIONS IN SPECIAL SUMMER CAMPAIGN WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE MOVED TO THE NEXT DIVISION UP.

WHAT EVEN IS ALL THIS??
Snow Prism is the winter edition (and the 2nd installment) of the Solstice Arena series of remote tournaments for Dance Dance Revolution. Players will be allowed to submit scores on any machine running DDR A or A20. Stepmania themes of A / A20 will not be permitted. During the summer, we kept this limited to singles divisions, but this time, we will be adding a Doubles division, as well as a female division!
Snow Prism will consist of a qualifying period for singles division, followed by 5 rounds lasting two weeks each. Qualifying will be announced and begin on Friday, November 15th, 2019, and run until Sunday, December 29th, 2019.
During the qualifying period, players will confirm their status as an entrant by submitting scores for two songs, not required to be played in the same set. Similar to KAC qualifiers, the songs can be played on any difficulty. The EX scores of the two songs will be combined and players will be ranked by cumulative EX. Division placement will be dependent on the player’s rank, proportionate to the scale below:
——————————————————-
-Single Low Division = bottom 24% of players (Difficult range: 10-14)
-Single Mid Division = middle 32% of players (Difficulty range: 13-17)
-Single High Division = top 44% of players (Difficulty range: 14-18)
For example, in a case of 200 entrants, ranks 1-88 will go to the high division; ranks 89-152 will go to the mid division; ranks 153-200 will go to the low division.
Doubles and Female divisions will not have split divisions for this event. We are currently gauging interest in adding these to the event and will use split divisions in future events if the numbers justify a split division.
Doubles difficulty range: 13-17
Females difficulty range: 12-16

TOURNAMENT STRUCTURE: (Round 1 begins Saturday January 11, 2020)
Each round (up to and including Round 4) will consist of two randomly selected songs from the online card draw site https://ddrdraw.surge.sh/ and will not be required to be played in the same set. “Asia-exclusive” content will only be permitted if all locations have access to A20 by the time the qualifying period ends.
EX score will be combined to rank players, and at the end of each round (two-week rounds), everyone below a specified cutoff will be eliminated. The cutoff amounts are to be determined, but the larger a division is, the larger the cutoff. Cutoffs will continue until there are 4 remaining players in each division.The difficulty will increase by 1 with each round that passes. Songs will NOT be allowed to be repeated up to and including Round 4, regardless of the division.
In the final round, the 4 remaining players will each hand-pick a song that has NOT been used in the tournament yet for their specified difficulty. A song that has previously come up in the tournament may ONLY be selected if the difficulty is different than what came up before. The TO will keep a list of all songs and difficulties that have been used in play up to that point.
The 4th place player will be given the opportunity to select a song of a difficulty 1 greater than their opponents if they wish to do so. For example, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd ranks can choose a Level 18 chart in the final round but the 4th seed finalist may choose a Level 19 chart if they wish.

ANY BAD SPORTSMANSHIP OR DISCRIMINATION IS NOT TOLERATED, AND WILL EITHER COME WITH A WARNING (1st OFFENSE) + BAN (2nd OFFENSE) OR AN IMMEDIATE BAN DEPENDING ON THE SEVERITY DEEMED BY THE TO AND DISCORD MODS.

WHEN DO ROUNDS BEGIN AND END?
Each round will begin and end on a Saturday at midnight (all times will be in Western U.S. time), and will have a 24 hour overlap period. For example: Round 2 will be starting on January 25th, 2020, at midnight, but Round 1 will not end until January 26th at midnight. The full projected timeline is below. Simply put, all rounds will last a full 15 days, starting on Saturdays and ending on Sundays.

ROUND 1: January 11 @ midnight – January 26 @ midnight
ROUND 2: January 25 @ midnight – February 9 @ midnight
ROUND 3: February 8 @ midnight – February 23 @ midnight
ROUND 4: February 22 @ midnight – March 8 @ midnight
FINAL: March 7 @ midnight – March 22 @ midnight
—————————————————–
WHO CAN ENTER WHAT DIVISION?

Any player is eligible to enter a Singles or Doubles division, or both! Only females or female-identifying players can enter the female division.

PRIZES? MERCH?
Just like our first event (Special Summer Campaign), the top 3 players in each division will get a medal commemorating them, and 1st place in each division gets a custom Snow Prism champion-edition shirt! Thank you to Anastasiya / “Pluto” (@pluto_chan on Twitter) for designing the official Snow Prism artwork! If you haven’t seen it yet, you will, but in the meantime go support her with a follow on Twitter!
Merch can be found by visiting @thesolsticearena on Instagram and sending a request for a product through a direct message there, or to me personally. More merch will likely be coming in the future but for now, enjoy some sick apparel from our event that started it all.

Schedule will be subject to change, but we’ll try to begin the tournament Saturday around 12PM, and end it Sunday around 5PM (so you can travel back just after if you need to, or go to the spaaaaaaa with us).
Rules & Updates will come (very) soon.

The event will be held at the National Videogame Museum in Zoetermeer (more info https://www.facebook.com/NationaalGameMuseum/) which has more than enough room for all our shenanigans. So if you have ever played games like Guitar Hero or more, be sure to check this event out! And maybe even sign up for a competition or two. While the museum has too many games to list, here are some of the highlights: beatmania IIDX Project DIVA AC Nostalgia Dance Dance Revolution In The Groove Pump It Up SOUND VOLTEX Beat Saber Taiko no Tatsujin jubeat pop‘n music CROSS×BEATS Clone Hero

COVID-19 PROTOCOLS
All participants will be required to provide proof of complete vaccination status. Regardless of vaccine used, participants must have received their final dose no later than Saturday, September 25th. Valid medical exceptions will be permitted but must be discussed directly with the head organizer. Players are encouraged to provide their vaccination status prior to the event via twitter DM or emailing ohioddr@gmail.com. If they are uncomfortable doing so, they may do so in person at the event instead. Failure to provide vaccination status will result in DQ with no refund, and the player will be asked to leave the venue.
No, this is not a HIPAA violation.
All participants are strongly encouraged to wear masks at all times, especially when not in a match or actively eating/drinking.
If Round1 chooses to mandate masks during play, players will be required to wear masks during matches.
We are all old enough to know the proper way to wear a mask, and what kinds of masks are worth wearing. Any attempts to “find a loophole” will result in immediate DQ and removal from the venue.
All attendees are strongly encouraged to take a COVID-19 test a few days prior to attending as well as about 1 week after, regardless of the presence of symptoms. In the unlikely event of cases tied to this event, those tests could provide valuable contact tracing info.

A rideshare service is your best bet to get here. Tournament Rules: 32 Player Swiss Main Bracket We will be using a Swiss style format, ensuring that players of all skill levels will get to play the same amount of matches compared to a traditional elimination bracket format where generally lower skilled players do not see much play. For every song you win, you will receive one point. The top (4) players with the highest number of points at the end of the Swiss Bracket will move onto the final round. Tiebreakers may be required to determine the top (4) and will be resolved with additional tiebreaker matches. The amount of rounds played will be based on the amount of entrants and will be determined the day of the event. Each match will consist of two songs with one song being picked by each player. Pad side will be randomly chosen unless both players agree on side selection. Players much choose their songs wisely because they may not pick the same song again for the entire tournament (excluding finals). 4 Player Single Elimination Bracket The finals will be a classic single elimination bracket seeded by the performance in the Swiss Bracket. The semifinal matches will consist of a best of 3 song match with each player picking one song, and if necessary, a random song to resolve a tiebreaker. Each player will receive two song vetoes to be used at any time during the match. The final matches that determine prize money will be the same as the semifinal matches, except it will be best of 5 songs with each player receiving 3 song vetoes. Similar to the Swiss Bracket, players may not choose the same song twice for the rest of the tournament but they do start with a clean song selection slate in the finals. Other Rules Song difficulty allowed: 11-18 EX Scoring In the event of a tie on a song, the player that did not choose the song will win the song. In the event of a tie on a random song, another random song will be played. Pad arbitration will be at the sole discretion of the tournament organizers. Entry Fee $10 Entry Fee. Prizes $573 Prize Pool! 1st Place: $300 Amazon Gift Card 2nd Place: $175 Amazon Gift Card 3rd Place: $75 Amazon Gift Card 4th Place: $23 Amazon Gift Card 5th-8th Place – Mystery Prizes (!??)

Panini Fest 2022
2022-07-16 10:00 - 23:00 | Panini Fest, 2200 N Chambers. Unit J. Aurora CO 80013
Panini Fest 2022 Tournament rules and info.Thank you for your interest in the Panini Fest event. The goal of the event is to have an annual gathering for people within the Colorado rhythm game community and to introduce more players from outside the state to the fantastic player base that we have. Tournament participation is not required to attend the event. However, it is encouraged regardless of skill level! Tournament settings are a great way to play against other players you normally wouldn’t match against, meet new people, play new charts, and just have an all-around good time. In addition to the tournament games, there will be several other arcade games to play. TVs will be on site for those that wish to bring consoles to play. The event is BYOB. Food is not provided but options are near the venue, and we are working on getting on site options.
July 16, 2022.
Address: 2200 N Chambers. Unit J. Aurora CO 80013.
Doors open at 10:00. Brackets start at noon.
On site registration is available, but please pre-register if possible. Cut off is 11:30.
Structure of the bracket.
The tournament will be in a round robin format with the top 8 players doing a double elimination bracket. This will give participants more rounds to play. The round robin portion of the event will be best of 3. The player with the best of 3 will be given 1 point. The top 8 players with the most points will move on to the finals bracket. Depending on attendance of the event, the round robin bracket may be limited to 2 songs per round with 1 point given per song. Final 4 is best of 5 songs.
Song pick method
For the round robin bracket, players will have their chance to choose their own song from the entire pack “lowers range”. Each lowers difficulty range can be found in the following game sections. Coin flip will be used for the 2 players in the round. Winner of the flip will decide either first song pick or pad side, while the other player will get their choice of the other. The losing player of the song gets the next song choice. Ex: P1 gets coin toss picks and wins 1st song. P2 then picks the next song. The purpose of this method is to encourage players to study charts before the event and gives both players the opportunity to play a chart that fits their strengths. The top 8 will follow card draw. Top seed in the bracket will get the first pick of either pad side or song veto/protect. Top 4 bracket has no veto/protect due to 5 song play with 5 card draw.
ITG
All songs must be played on M or X Mod. No Cmod. “Boys off” aka fault window disabled. Mines must stay on. Turn mods are allowed. Event scoring will use the Waterfall timing/score system. Player with the highest percentage score wins the song. In the event of a tie, a random song of the same difficulty will be selected and played to satisfy the tie. The round robin portion of the bracket will use song difficulties ranging from 8-10. The top 8 bracket will play chart difficulties 11-13.
DDR
The version of the game played will be DDR A20. (this is so we can stream the event) EX score will be used for deciding the winner of the song. Holds, jumps, freeze arrow must stay on. Turn mods and mirror are allowed. Lowers song selection will be 9-15. Finals will be based on 16 song difficulty. In the event of a tie, a random song of the same difficulty will be selected and played to satisfy the tie.
Pump it up
Version of the game played will be Pump It Up Prime 2. Money score will be the deciding factor for winner of the song. The lower song bracket will consist of song choice 10-16. Upper bracket will be 17-20. In the event of a tie, a song of the same difficulty will be selected to satisfy the tie.
Sportsmanship
Players are to be respectful to each other and the venue during the event. Event staff has the right to remove players at any time. If a player makes the decision to be disrespectful during the event, they will be removed from the bracket.
Pace of the event is very important. If a player is not playing in another tournament bracket or using the restroom when their turn is called, they are to start their round within 3 minutes. EX: if you are playing another arcade cab between rounds and your name is called, you are to stop what you are doing to play your tournament round. Failure to do this will forfeit your round to the opponent.
