It was a monumental tournament getting to see how this tournament back in 2023 has enriched your dance gaming growth throughout 2024. 💜 So let’s take off this 2024 and who knows this tourney can help you prepare for 2025 South African dance gaming endeavors 👩‍🚀⬅️⬇️⬆️➡️👨‍🚀 *A price pool of R1500 will be offered to be given to only first place winners in each division.* Slight rules have changed to make it more accommodating for players to choose divisions & sub-divisions in which will be further explained in the rulebook (which I have to release tomorrow then head back to studies). Also the bracketing heavily depends on the participation number as well but for the beginners division since stamina and timing is not really a focused area in that division because you’re still fundamentally learning the game, usually for intermediates and above, so for the beginners, your tournament will be an elimination based bracketing.

What’s the event like?
RIGHTS is the spiritual successor to the D.O.W.N.S. and U.P.S. tournament series, both of which were a fun social weekend, loosely organized around a StepMania tournament. Competitors create new stepcharts specifically for the event. Some people take it seriously and make stepcharts that they’ll be good at. Others submit shitpost-tier stepcharts in the hope that someone will end up having to play it. Some people get very creative with Lua scripting. Overall, it’s a pretty fun time.
When is it?
RIGHTS occurs annually on a Saturday+Sunday in January or February. This year it’s January 18th-19th, 2025

Rhythm Riot
2025-05-17 | Bohemian Hall Beer Garden, 29-19 24th Ave, Astoria, NY, NY, 11105, United States
For the first time in over 10 years, New York City is hosting a public DDR tournament, and we’re doing it grassroots style – raw, loud, and powered by the community that never stopped stepping. Rhythm Riot is a grassroots event built by the local community, for the community. No sponsors, no big stage – just real players, real competition, and a city that’s long overdue for a serious dance game event. This isn’t just a tournament – it’s a comeback. This is for the OGs who remember the glory days of Chinatown Fair, the newcomers training on Stepmania pads in their bedrooms, and every player in between. We’re bringing the arcade energy back to where it belongs: the heart of NYC. Pure rhythm game passion. Whether you’re in it to win it or just want to watch the city’s finest tear it up, Rhythm Riot is where you need to be. Let’s make noise. Let’s make history. The silence is over. The floor is yours.

Stamina Jawn
2025-05-30 11:00 - 2025-06-01 20:00 (America/New_York) | PGH Dance Game Space, Pittsburgh, PA, United States
STAMINA JAWN
https://staminajawn.groovestats.com/
After six years off from live events, in collaboration with quietly-turning and the PGH Dance Game Space, I’m running a new stamina event: Stamina Jawn!
I’ve been holding off since the first Stamina Con due to reasons ranging from Covid happening, format concerns with the proliferation of highly personally tuned private setups detracting from player experience when competing live on stamina content, the escalating cost of renting space for a competition, the increased scope of my work relating to online events, and so on, but I’ve narrowed in on an event concept and location that I think will satisfy my concerns as well as being fun for the community!
WHEN:
May 30th-June 1st 2025
WHERE:
PGH Dance Game Space (address available on Stamina Jawn site after signing up)
Pittsburgh, PA
Walkthrough of the space:

Longer form video about it:

WHAT:
Stamina Jawn is an opportunity for players to come together in person and do their East Coast Stamina 13.5 sets live (credit to titandude for suggesting this concept originally). Attendance is capped at 90 people, with a maximum of 20 teams.
You can read up on East Coast Stamina 13.5 here:
https://ecs135.groovestats.com/
Singles and Doubles teams on both ITG and Pump are welcome to enter, though sign-ups will be first come first serve.
Depending on the setup you sign up for, you may also be able to bring your own pad if you want!
Each team will get a 5 hour block on the schedule (one hour of pad modding/warming up + 4 hours of Raw Output), and there will be 2.5 hour time slots available for any teams that want to do the full splits as well (one hour of pad modding + 1.5 hours for the full marathon attempt).
Solo teams won’t be allowed to register for a place on the schedule– as much as I encourage people trying the .5 events solo, the point of Stamina Jawn is to bring teams together. However, a limited amount of people will be able to register to hang out/spectate, depending on the number of teams that decide to compete and their composition (having more teams of two rather than teams of three obviously would allow for more non-competitors).
Outside of the core time slots for Raw Output and Marathon attempts, the machines will be free to use for anyone who wants to play, with priority given to players who have marathon splits they want to attempt.
