And so we meet again.
After a full year of hiatus, we are back with the newest installment of the ~finest~ French technical tournament series: French Toast FA #3 ! It will happen on February 8-9th weekend.
As usual, the tournament will take place in Lille but this time we have a bigger space to host you all and more cabs to backup the enormous hype that this tournament has generated.
And this year will be even more hype as, for the first time ever, we will accept WORLDWIDE competition. If you are a resident of the USA or Canada or Australia or South America, you will be able to compete in the live tournament if you make it to France!
FTFA #3 will a technical tournament with two phases : Marathon seedings and “Bracket” without any elimination. 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.

We want to give everyone the chance to play their favourite games as much as they want, or give the opportunity to try out the newest games which they maybe haven’t had access to yet. 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.

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.

ITG Christmas Tournament Italy – DDR Extreme 20th Anniversary Edition – 2002/2022
2022-12-10 13:00 - 2022-12-11 03:00 | La Grande Mela, Via Trentino, 1, 37060 Sona VR, Italy
Hello everybody!The team North-Italy is happy to announce you that even this year we’ll have the unmissable ITG Christmas Tournament at C.C. La Grande Mela – via Trentino 1, Sona (Verona – Italy)!
The date is December, Saturday 10th 2022; and the confirm will be set as soon as possible. Why announcement so early? For the high turnout we had in both Christmas 2021 and Rodeo 2022 (another tourney in the South-Italy), we’re expecting lots of people, foreigners too, and we want to give you enough time to organize.
We’re enthusiastic to announce the theme of the event! Corresponding to 20th anniversary of DDR Extreme’s release (Christmas 2002 – Christmas 2022), we’re riding the wave of the more and more resteps that are becoming trendy, so our purpose is a pack of DDR Extreme songs ENTIRELY restepped in according to modern standards, many of which are already famous and existing in modern and trendy packs.
We hope that this original idea might be acting as glue, not only to nostalgic people, but also to players “on point” for the crescent frequency of these resteps!
On behalf of all the staff, I hope you have a good rest of your day, and please stay tuned for more details!
