Girlpocalypse 2017
2017-08-05 08:00 - 2017-08-06 17:00 (America/New_York) | Girlpocalypse, San Francisco, CA, United States
Structure
12 girls will be competing in this event. Each player will have two 60 minute sessions play whatever she wants and accumulate points towards specific targets. There are 24 slots throughout the weekend.
There are three targets that a player can accumulate points towards – SPEED, STAMINA, and TIMING. Each target has a songlist and a formula that takes data from the songs played and scores achieved and assigns points for each target. Scores for SPEED and TIMING can carry between sets, while STAMINA cannot.
Setup
The tournament will be played on Rhythm Horizon, a new game from Lama, LLC. The main characteristics to note are:
More lenient lifebar. The lifebar is about two and a half times the size of the lifebar in ITG, and it behaves differently in response to life-depleting judgments.
Judgment differences. The top judgment is divided in half (basically a Fantastic and flashing Fantastic) though both are worth the same in terms of score. Additionally, no judgments subtract score. “Too Early” penalties subtract from life to discourage mashing.
“Too Early” penalty. The current form of “mash prevention” works by adding an extra 50ms window on the early side of the worst regular judgment (which is currently called “good”). Any arrow hit during that window provides a life penalty equal to that of missing an arrow, but it can still be triggered for a normal judgment as well. “Too Early” is displayed above the judgment when the penalty is applied. The game allows you to get up to 1 “Too Early” per second without any penalty. That low of a rate is assumed to be misfires, but higher rates of “Too Earlys” mean likely mashing.
Difficulty rating calculator. The numerical difficulty rating is calculated within the game, so all charts will be rated with the same algorithm. The game analyzes patterns and other chart aspects like speed, note density, etc to calculate the ratings.
Rules
Players can use whatever mods they like including Cmods, and No Mines as long as they do not alter the step patterns. For example, turn mods or no holds are not allowed.
Failed scores are allowed! Get hauling!

UK Sight Reading Tournament #9
2017-08-12 14:00 - 2017-08-13 20:00 (America/New_York) | Croydon Village Outlet, 2-28 North End, Croydon, CR0 1UB, United Kingdom
UK Sightreading Tournament 9; 𝚡:𝚋𝚘𝚘𝚝_𝚜𝚎𝚚𝚞𝚎𝚗𝚌𝚎The UK’s 9th main-series sight reading tournament takes place on August the 12th, 2017! It’s going to be the biggest and most ridiculous UKSRT to date!
UKSRT9 Sign-ups & T-Shirt pre-order form
————————–——————-
For those not in the know, sight read in DDR is essentially playing a song that you’ve never seen before.
In the context of our tournaments however, this means that each round (and all associated gimmicks!) are created specifically for the purposes of the tournament.
It’s an interesting even playing field, as none of the competitors will have seen any of the content.
So what we have is a fun dance game tournament that runs on an upgraded DDR machine, in which probably literally anything can happen. (I mean literally anything, we had a round arbitrarily turn into Tetris once!)
There’s only one rule really (ontop of the venue rules which are mostly common sense!), and that’s to enjoy yourself~
If you’re good, or just fancy trying something really off the wall and different as far as dance game tournaments go, you should definitely give this a shot.
As usual there will be a cash prize (and some other stuff) for the winner! :3
I should also mention, that somewhere in the tournament, as per usual, there’s a ~mystery event~, and player who does best on the mystery event will receive an additional prize!
Everyone invite your friends etc, let’s aim for the highest attendance ever!
More information will become available as the event draws closer!

6:30 pm – Tournament start
*if you anticipate not making the cut off time, please contact me in advance and we will try to make accommodations if it’s within reason*
Players may preregister in advance here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScuoOpzWs2tWqyCMtNd3H5BsL7H3XUZ2oXWeeIJH7f8cDaafQ/
View other submissions: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FV6YUa_PPuqCOfapWV4bjJuyaGZWKvFHbFVUyzele4U/
During the registration window, Event mode will be enabled. At that time players will not have free access to the machine and may only be at used Tournament Organizer’s discretion (example no one is qualifying)
-SEEDING –
Qualifiers will take place during the registration period. If you are unable to seed within the alloted time frame, please let us know in advanced and we’ll try to make arrangements for you.
The qualifier will be One randomly selected songs from this following list:
-Far East Nightbird (Kors K Remix)
-Tribe
-Wicked Plastik
-Amalgamation
-CaptivAte ~Chikai~
Players will be allowed one warmup song prior to playing the qualifier, but they are not allowed to play the qualifier prior to qualifying. Players will be seeded by total EX score on the qualifiers. In the event of a tie on EX score, a random tiebreaker will be selected from the remaining list of qualifying songs.
GENERAL RULES –
Tournament will follow a standard best 2/3 double elimination bracket.
In the event more than 16 people enter, a single elimination bracket will be run. Players in the single elimination bracket will play one random song from the qualifier list to qualify into the double elimination bracket.
**There will be a cap of 24 players**.
If more than 24 players enter and you don’t make top 24 in the qualifier, you’ll be out completely
Winner’s, Loser’s and Grand Finals will be 3/5 (If time becomes an issue then only Grand Finals will be 3/5)
At the start of each match, the two players competing will decide on the following 3 items –
– Choice of left or right pad
– Choice of first or second song selection
– Choice of first or second veto on random song
The higher seed will have first selection of these 3 options, the lower seed will get their choice of the two remaining options, and the higher seed will select from the remaining option.
Song selection will follow the pick/pick/random format, where each player is allowed a song pick. You are only allowed to choose a specific song chart once throughout the tournament. You may choose a song multiple times if it has an expert and challenge chart, and you have not previously picked both of the charts. The winner of each song will be determined by the person with the highest EX score on each song. If a person wins the first two song picks, then that person advances on to the next round. If the score is tied 1-1 after two song picks, then the final song will be selected randomly (see the section on random songs).
In the event both players tie on one of the players’ song picks, then that person is not awarded an additional song pick, and neither player is awarded a win on that song. Any subsequent songs will be chosen by random. If both players tie on the random song, then another random song will be chosen (see the section on random songs).
For 3/5 matches, format will be pick/pick/pick/pick/random
If a player fails a song or chooses to forfeit their song, the other player is granted a point and is not required to finish the song.
RANDOM/TIE BREAKING SONGS –
If no one has won 2 songs after both players have picked their songs, a tie breaking song will be chosen via card draw program (http://shelfspacelabel.com/jefflloydthediddlerman/). 3 songs will be randomly selected by the program. The person who was previously chosen to have the first veto will choose a song they do not wish to play, and the person with the second veto will choose from the remaining songs the song they do not wish to play. The players will play on the remaining song.
The song difficulty range for the random songs will vary by each round. Due to song unlocks being tied to eamuse profiles, no unlockable songs will be selectable for the random tiebreaker.
Assuming a 16 man bracket, the following is the range of difficulty options on Expert and Challenge charts that will be eligible for random songs for their respective rounds –
Round 1 of Winners & Losers Bracket – 11-14
Round 2 of Winners & Losers Bracket – 12-15
Round 3 of Winners & Losers Bracket – 13-16
Winners Finals, Losers Finals, and Grand Finals – 14-18
SELECTABLE SONGS/CHARTS, AND MODS –
Expert and Challenge charts rated 10 and up are selectable by the players depending what round you are in. Unlocks that are not restricted to extra stage will be allowed if it is unlocked.
Assuming a 16 man bracket, the following level caps will be in effect based on the round of the tournament
Round 1 of Winners & Losers Bracket – 10-14
Round 2 of Winners & Losers Bracket – 10-15
Round 3 of Winners & Losers Bracket – 10-16
Winners Finals, Losers Finals, and Grand Finals – Everything 10+ can be selected
All mods are allowed as long as they do not change the EX total of the song (cut, freezes off, etc). All speed mods (2x, 2.5x, etc) and appearance mods (sudden+, hidden+, etc) are allowed. TURN MODS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED
Players are permitted to switch certain mods on or off mid song by double tapping the green selection button on the screen (sudden+). However, they must do it on their own accord, and cannot have another person do it for them during the song.
EAMUSE –
Most of the song modifiers will not be selectable unless you are playing with an eamuse card, and certain song unlocks are also tied to your account. Because of this, players are encouraged to have their own eamuse card and account set up prior to the tournament. If you do not already have an eamuse card, you may purchase one at the front desk of Dave and Buster’s for $5. You are allowed to borrow an eamuse card during the tournament if someone is willing to lend you theirs.
Please note that certain options are only selectable through the online eamuse portal (darker BG, noteskin, and arrow guidelines), and two options are locked behind having a paid Basic Eamuse subscription at some point (Fast/Slow, and combo behind the arrows). If you want access to these options and do not have an existing eamuse account, you may want to consider borrowing a card from someone.
PAD ARBITRATION –
We do not anticipate there to be major issues with the pads misfiring. However, in the event that a pad error happens and would make a difference on the outcome of the match, the tournament organizer will handle this on a case by case basis.
MISC –
Shoes are required at all times.
If at any point you do something deemed unsportsmanlike, such as interfering with someone while playing a match, damage Dave and Buster’s property, become visibly intoxicated, assault another person, or any other similar malicious behavior, you will be immediately disqualified from the tournament, kicked out of the venue, and will not receive a refund.

East Coast Stamina 6
2017-11-17 11:00 - 2017-11-19 18:00 (America/New_York) | Family Fun Center, 3501 Paxton St,, Harrisburg, PA, 17111, United States
Facebook EventMAIN SITE: http://groovestats.com/ECS6/
What is East Coast Stamina?
East Coast Stamina (ECS) is a high level competition centered around a selection of the most difficult custom content available for In The Groove, a four-panel dance simulation game along the lines of Dance Dance Revolution. It has been an annual tournament since September 2011, eventually becoming a biannual event starting with ECS2.5.
When/where is it happening?
East Coast Stamina 6 will be held November 17th-19th at the Harrisburg East Mall.
What is the format?
Historically, the tournament has generally consisted of a “marathon” (a mix of songs usually roughly an hour in length), and then a timed set where players could choose songs from a preselected list, where the songs are assigned point values based on their difficulty in addition to the scores the players obtain on them. ECS4.5 and ECS5.5 have added team play as an aspect of the format, but the mainline ECS tournaments– 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and the upcoming ECS6– have all focused on one individual competing against the other entrants to achieve the highest score possible on the marathon, and also to gain as many points as possible in the timed set.
Who are the competitors this year?
The competitors for East Coast Stamina 6 will be the top 16 ranked players able to attend from the Stamina RPG qualifiersthat took place from July 22nd to October 1st of 2017. The list is not fully confirmed yet, but here is the tentative list, in order of qualifying rank:
trev0115 / Trevor (United States)
JDongs / Jared (United States)
CardboardBox / Anthony (Canada)
Aoreo / Jim (United States)

DDR Freestyle Takeover
2018-01-27 15:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York) | Round 1 San Jose, 2200 Eastridge Loop, San Jose, CA, 95122, United States
In 1998, Konami released Dance Dance Revolution into arcades. Its immersive and interactive gameplay sparked a phenomenon that was unlike any that had come before it. Players were not merely pushing buttons; they were moving, grooving, and giving people something to get excited about. The magnetic nature of DDR pulled together a wide range of dedicated players and communities formed in arcades all across the world.DDR Freestyle puts the “Dance” in Dance Dance Revolution with competitors performing choreographed dance routines to in-game music. These performances have captivated many a spectator and created cult followings amongst its top stars. Freestyle allowed the unique opportunity for players to inject their own creativity and showmanship, thus making it visual performance art.
Though a devoted community has kept the game alive through technical (score-based) feats, Freestyle has laid dormant for years.
2018 marks the 20th anniversary of Dance Dance Revolution. On January 27th, 2018, we celebrate its roots with a Freestyle revival that will take over center stage at Round1 Arcade in San Jose, California — the Bay Area’s hotbed for Dance Dance Revolution competition. Relive the creativity and showmanship, and watch as new memories are made on the dance pad.
Prizes and prestige are on the line for the day’s top DDR freestylers, and an exhibition featuring the Bay Area’s all-star DDR freestylers.

EXTRA EXCLUSIVE ~WORLD DDR TOURNAMENT~
2018-02-11 | Eternal Tower, 外神田4-4-7 MTビル3Ｆ～8Ｆ, Tokyo, Chiyoda-ku, 1010021, Japan
[UPDATE: 1/26] Due to an unfortunate scheduling conflict with the building’s owner, we will be unable to utilize the 8th floor of Eternal Amusement Tower. As such, we have received permission to run the event on the 4th floor, in the general arcade. The manager of the arcade is working hard with us to rearrange the games to make the floor as spacious as possible. However, the maximum capacity we will be able to hold on this floor will be 60 people, meaning 32 competitors and 28 spectators/tournament organizers. As such, if you haven’t already, I highly recommend you RSVP as soon as possible! There is still time to qualify, so if you want to guarantee yourself a spot in the venue, please submit your score by February 5th!
To all DDR players,
The 7th KAC finalists have been determined, and players from all around the globe have already secured travel to plans to visit Japan to cheer on their friends. It’s unfortunate that KAC this year invites less players from abroad to compete than before, but more players than ever are visiting regardless to show their support. With an unprecedented number of players from around the world visiting Japan this year, I thought it would be an incredible chance to hold a REAL tournament where the greatest DDR players of the world can duke it out in the heart of Japan!
With that, I present to you EXTRA EXCLUSIVE. On Sunday, the day after KAC, we will be holding a 32-man double elimination tournament at Eternal Tower in Akihabara (formerly known as Tri-Tower). We will be renting the 8th floor of the building where we will have an entire floor dedicated to a DDR A white cabinet to run and stream the event!
Rules:
32-man double elimination
Top 16 qualifiers for KAC already get a free bye into the tournament for their respective slots. If someone in Top 16 can’t make it or isn’t interested, we’d take the next person in line (#17, #18, etc.) until all 16 slots are filled.
Qualifiers:
Seeds 17-32 will be decided by a qualifier set prior to the tournament. The cutoff will be February 5th. Just take a photo of your set and post here or Tweet your photo with the hashtag #extraexclusive2018 by the cutoff date. Top 16 sets will be seeded in seeds 17-32.
Eligible participants: Any player visiting from abroad, or any player in the Top 100 for KAC ranking.
Qualifier songs:
・エンドルフィン (Endorphin) ESP Lv15
・Monkey Business CSP Lv16
・Triple Counter ESP Lv17
If you are eligible to qualify, you must play a set of the following songs in any order. If you get Extra Stage, you are welcome to replay any of the songs once more. The higher of the 2 scores will be counted. Take a photo of the grand results screen for your set. As such, machine score will be used.
Your songs scores will be ranked individually, rather than as a total set. The highest score for a song will receive 16 points, 2nd highest score will receive 15 points, etc., until the 16th highest score, who will receive 1 point for that song. Any score lower will receive 0 points for that score.
Example:
Player A:
★990,000 エンドルフィン
★999,600 Monkey Business
★985,000 Triple Counter
925,000 Monkey Business
Player B:
★980,000 Triple Counter
★999,000 エンドルフィン
★999,500 Monkey Business
998,000 エンドルフィン
Player C:
★999,920 エンドルフィン
999,820 Triple Counter
★999,950 Monkey Business
★999,850 Triple Counter
Player C’s scores are all the highest of the 3 players, so he receives 16 points per song. That’s 48 points total (a perfect score).
Player B’s Endorphin score was the 2nd highest, but his other 2 scores were the lowest (of the 3 players), so he receives 15 points for Endorphin and 14 points for the other 2 songs for a total of 43 points.
Player A likewise gets 15, 15, and 14 points for a total of 44 points.
The players would qualify and be seeded as such (as this is to decide seeds 17-32):
17th seed is Player C
18th seed is Player A
19th seed is player B
This will continue up until the 32nd seed has been determined.
Please take a photo of your grand results screen, and post here or tweet the photo with the hashtag #extraexclusive2018. The qualifying period is 1/22/18 – 2/5/18.
Tournament:
Rounds will be 5 song card draw, each player vetoes 1 song. Songs will be played in order drawn unless BOTH players agree to play in order of ascending difficulty. If the same song is drawn twice with different difficulties, the 2nd draw of the song will be redrawn to prevent a single song weighing heavier on a single match than another.
All rounds will be ESP/CSP only.
Round 1: 14-17 (weighted 15%, 25%, 40%, 20%)
Round 2: 15-18 (weighted 15%, 25%, 40%, 20%)
Round 3: 16-19 (weighted 15%, 25%, 40%, 20%)
Semi-finals: 17-19 (no weights)
Finals: 18-19 (no weights)
Pad side will be chosen by higher seed. As of this time, there will be no arbitration. Scoring will be strictly EX score based, best 2 out of 3 (not cumulative).
Grand finals will be top 2 of winners bracket and top 2 of losers bracket. It will move onto Round Robin match rules. The same song cannot be played twice in a single match.
During the Top 8, competitors will be given 1 warm-up song before their set begins. During grand finals, competitors will be given 2 warm-up songs before their set begins.
The venue has a maximum capacity of 100 people. After competitors and tournament organizers, priority will be given to spectators visiting from abroad followed by attendants in a first come, first serve basis. For those that cannot attend, there will be a live stream setup. The link will be posted once details are confirmed.
There will be a door fee of ¥3,000 for all spectators and competitors, and will include an EXTRA EXCLUSIVE T-shirt. Top 8 will all get an exclusive finalist hoodie. There will be no cash prizes.
All prices are subject to change, as well as start/finish times. Rules, event location, and other details may need to modified if necessary. In the event that any details change, it will be publicly announced and updated here prior to the event.

If you are participating, we would appreciate anyone who can stay afterwards and help clean up. The players in Japan are helping as much as they can to get this set up and their kindness should be repaid!
If anyone else has anything they’d like to add or that I’ve missed, please comment! We look forward to seeing you all there and on the stream!

〜DDRプレイヤーの皆様へ〜
【お詫びと訂正】
先ず初めにDDRプレイヤーの皆様へお詫びと訂正箇所がございます。
今大会の開催場所でありますエターナルアミューズメントタワー秋葉原様ですが、当初8階イベントスペースにて開催とお知らせ致しましたが4階ゲームコーナーへと変更になりました事をご報告させて頂きます。それに伴いまして4階にて稼働しております一部のゲームが稼働停止及び別フロアへ移動となります事をお伝え致します。プレイヤーの皆様へは大変ご迷惑をおかけし申し訳ありません。
また4階ゲームコーナーへの会場変更に伴いまして、当初100人入場可能でありましたが、選手・観客の合計で60人へと変更になりました。楽しみにしていた方々へは大変ご迷惑をおかけし誠に申し訳ありません。
【初めに】
2018年The 7th KACの出場選手達は決まり、ルールも発表され2018年2月10日の本番へ向けて熱気が高まっております。
しかし、出場できる選手達は世界中のDDRプレイヤーの中から厳しい予選を勝ち抜いた選ばれた者のみ！実力がありながらも後少しの所で落選してしまった選手達も多く居ます。
そこで今回、The 7th KACの為に海外から多くのDDRプレイヤーが日本へ集まって来ている為、The 7th KACとは別にDDR世界大会ができないか？とアメリカのDDRプレイヤーKAZEより提案があり、2018年2月11日(日曜日)に秋葉原にありますエターナルアミューズメントタワー秋葉原様にてDDR世界大会を開催致す運びとなりました！
【本大会に関するルール説明】
ここで大会に関しますルールを発表させて頂きます。
大会の形式は32人で行いますダブルエリミネーション方式を採用させて頂きます。
出場する32人の決定方式についてお知らせします。
先ず1〜16人まではThe 7th KACでのオンライン予選での順位を採用し決定致します。これは日本、韓国、アジア、北米全てを含めての順位となります。オンライン予選1位〜16位までが自動的に1〜16人に割り当てられ参加する形となります。しかし、オンライン予選1位〜16位の中に出場できない選手がいる場合は、予選17位より順に16人になるまで選手を入れていきます。
次に17〜32人目までの決定方式についてお知らせ致します。ここでは事前に予選課題曲を踏んで頂きます。予選課題曲は3曲ありクレジット内での通しスコアとなります。
【事前予選課題曲】
・エンドルフィン EXP Lv15
・Monkey Business CHA Lv16
・Triple Counter EXP Lv17
上記3曲を1クレジット内で通してのスコアとなります。スコアは通常スコアにて行います。EXTRAステージに進出した場合でも上記3曲のうちどれでもやり直しはできます。
例)

全てのスコアが一番高いので16点ずつとなり
合計48点
Bさんのエンドルフィンは3人の中で2番目であるが他の曲は3番目なので15点、14点、14点となり
合計43点
Aさんは15点、15点、14点の合計44点
となり順位は
17位 Cさん
18位 Aさん

Valkyrie Dimension - Girls' DDR A Tournament
2018-04-06 00:00 - 2018-05-14 00:00 (America/New_York) | Online
Facebook Event Page
Main Website
VALKYRIE DIMENSION IS A GIRLS-ONLY DDR A REMOTE TOURNAMENT.
ヴァルキリー・ディメンションは女性の為のDDR Aのリモート参加型大会。
Participants will do their best on a selection of songs between April 6th and May 14th. You will play as much as you want, at any time, on your local DDR A. Scores will be submitted as a photos of the results screen. This is a DDR A tournament, you must play on a DDR A machine only. If you are a girl who has access to DDR A, consider entering, regardless of your skill level. This is a friendly tournament meant to foster the girls’ community in DDR, and push you to play your best.
２０１８年４月６日〜５月１４日までこの大会が行われます。曲は間もなく発表予定です。現地のゲームセンターのDDR Aで回数、時間帯の制限なく、プレイすることが出来ます。スコア結果の画面を写真に撮り、提出するだけ！これはDDR Aの大会なので、DDR A機械でのみプレイしてください。女性プレイヤーはDDR Aのスキルに関係なく、ぜひ参加をご検討ください。この大会の目的は女性のDDRコミュニティーを支えること、そして皆さんのスキル上達です。

SKILL DIVISIONS
各級について
There will be 3 skill divisions – Low, Mid, and High.
Low will be difficulties 8-12, Mid will be 12-15 and high will be 15+.
You must play within your appropriate tier. For example, if you are capable of 17’s, you should not be in low tier. The tiers are there so that girls of all skill levels can compete with other girls on their level. Please enter the appropriate tier so competition is fair. If you think you aren’t good enough – enter anyway. This is a friendly competition!
この大会には「初級、中級、上級」の３つのレベルがあります。
初級の難易度：８〜１２、中級の難易度：１２〜１５、上級の難易度：１５以上
ご自身のレベルに合ったものに参加してください。例えば、１７ができるのであれば、初級レベルには参加しないでください。３つのレベル用意した目的は、同レベルの相手と競合してい頂きたいからです。この大会を公平なものにするため、適当なレベルを選び、エントリーしてください。もし初級レベルにも達していないと感じているのなら…とりあえずご参加ください！これはフレンドリーな大会です！

SONGS 曲
For each division, there will be 6 different charts.
それぞれの級に、６曲あります。
STAMINA SET
スタミナセット
3 designated charts MUST be played in a single game set, similar to how KAC qualifiers were. These songs played in a single set are there to test your endurance. You must submit photos of each score, as well as the summary screen that proves that you played them in the same set.
KAC(Konami Arcade Championship、)と同様に、一つのゲームセットで３曲の指名されたものをしなければなりません。一つのゲームセット内でこれらの曲をして頂くのは、皆さんの忍耐力を評価するためです。それぞれの曲のスコア詳細画面、ゲームセットの最後に出る最終スコアの画面、を写真に撮ってください（同じゲームセット内でプレイした事を確認するため）。
SINGLE SONGS 個別の曲
The other 3 songs do not have to be played in a single set. You only need to submit a photo of the score. These songs might have some trickier things to time, and will test your MA skills!
残りの３曲 は、同じゲームセット内でプレイする必要はありません。曲のスコア詳細画面を提出するだけで大丈夫です。この３曲はおそらくコツを要するものなので、MAスキルを評価します！

SCORING 採点方法
Your EX SCORE is what matters here – it’s at the bottom on the results screen. The total of your 6 EX scores will be your grand total. EX Scoring works as follows – 3 points for a Marvelous, 2 points for Perfect, 1 point for Great. Please make sure the EX score is visible in your photo.
今回EX スコア（スコア結果の下にあるもの）を評価することになりました。６曲のEXスコアの合計があなたの最終スコアになります。EXスコアは：Marvelousは３点、Perfectは２点、 Greatは１点として換算されます。EXスコアがはっきりと見えるように写真を撮ってください。

TOURNAMENT MANTRA 大会の目的
Valkyrie Dimension’s purpose is to encourage women and girls to enter a competitive scene in order to encourage their personal growth in the game. Competition brings out the best in people, and it should be experienced at every level of skill. Dance Dance Revolution has always had it’s share of devoted women players, but it is largely a male-dominated game. This is a chance for girls around the world to put their skills to the test and enjoy the thrill of tournament play.
ヴァルキリー・ディメンションの目的は、女性DDRプレイヤーのゲームの上達を支援することです。この大会で女性プレイヤーが上達し、どのレベルのプレイヤーにもいい試合を体験してほしいと考えています。DDRは女性が参加していいものなのに、従来、ほとんど男性しかプレイされていませんでした。今回は世界中のDDR女性プレイヤーが大会に参加し、ご自身のスキルに挑戦し、大会を楽しんで頂きたいのです。

2. Scores must be submitted between April 6th and May 14th to be valid.

2018-04-11 08:00 - 2018-05-05 17:00 (America/New_York) | Online
We’re excited to announce Cyber Cypher #1, an online #DDR freestyle tournament! pic.twitter.com/rTYgW1kQ39
— Freestyle Takeover (@FSTakeover) April 10, 2018
We’re excited to announce Cyber Cypher #1, an online DDR freestyle tournament! We wanted to reach out to freestylers outside of California and a remote event sounded like the perfect way to showcase talent from all across the world.
To enter, choose from one of the following three songs and record a performance to it between now and May 5th:
• Dance Celebration (DDR X)
• Hands Up In The Air (DDR A)
• Try 2 Luv U (SuperNOVA)
Full rules are as follows:
Cyber Cypher is open to everyone on Earth, regardless of region.
To enter, record yourself performing a routine to one of the three Cyber Cypher eligible songs. Performances may be done on a Dance Dance Revolution arcade machine or on a home version pad using either a console version of the game or a DDR simulator/emulator.
All performance videos may be e-mailed directly to FreestyleTakeover@gmail.comor uploaded online. A link to the upload must be provided to any of Freestyle Takeover’s social media channels using the hashtag #DDRFreestyle.
All performances must have been recorded between 4/9/18 and 5/5/18. (No, we’re not accepting a video of a routine you did back in 2014. Re-perform that bad boy for the spirit of competition.)
Performer must complete their performance with a passing grade per the game’s scoring system. A failed grade performance is not eligible for submission.
All performances must adhere to general guidelines of decency. Keep it PG, maybe PG-13. (If the material/tone of the performance wouldn’t be allowed on an episode of The Simpsons, you might want to rethink your idea.)
All performances will be judged by Freestyle Takeover staff. Each judge will grade the performances based on (but not limited to) showmanship, creativity, musicality, and presentation. The competitor’s game score will not be factored into judgment.
After the final performance of the competition, each judge will submit their top 10 candidates using the following voting vector (14, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1), where 1st place receives 14 points, 2nd place receives 9 points and so on.
All judges’ decisions are final and are not subject to protest. Final tallies will be available per request after the competition is over.
Entrants who submit a video to the Cyber Cypher are agreeing to allow Freestyle Takeover to potentially use their footage and/or likeness in future promotional and marketing material.
Rules are subject to change at the discretion of Freestyle Takeover.
Prizes for this are forthcoming but we guarantee they will be worth your while. Start brainstorming your routines and stay tuned for more!

Stamina RPG 2
2018-05-14 - 2018-09-02 | Online
http://groovestats.com/ECS7/
Rules
Stamina RPG 2 is an online competition for In The Groove 2 that, in addition to being a tournament in its own right, serves as the qualifier for ECS7 and for FCS3. Difficulties range from 12-footers to songs so challenging that almost no one can pass them. To participate, you must register on Groovestats first. Once you’ve done that and you’ve downloaded the songs for the qualifier, after logging in, you can go to the Passes page to view your current status and enter in any new passes.
You will accrue experience points toward your overall level and skill points towards specific BPM ranges for each song you pass, as well as Tournament Points (TP)– a new addition to Stamina RPG 2– which will determine your qualifying rank for ECS7. For each BPM range above 160, the three charts you have passed in that range with the highest TP value will contribute to your total TP.
You can view the current rankings by going to the Ranking page. The Quests page will provide a log of quests that participants can undertake for rewards, and hints on how to complete them. Finally, if you’d like to view the song list without logging in, the Song List page is the place to do that.
There are a few rules to note:

Bracketing/mashing is strictly prohibited for any songs in the qualifier.
You may play with way offs/decents disabled, but these will be enabled for the actual tournament.
You must play on the normal judge and lifebar settings for ITG (Judge and Life difficulty 4). If you’re playing on the Simply Love theme on SM5, you’ll need to ensure that you’re using a version that has accurate life mechanics (‘Competitive Mode’ handles that on the most recent versions).
No scores obtained prior to 05/14/2018 will be accepted.
Make sure that you have screenshots of every score. If a pass is questioned and you can’t provide a screenshot, you’ll lose credit for it.
Rate mods below 1.0x rate are not acceptable.

Prizes
The 16 players WORLDWIDE who have earned the highest total TP by September 2nd at 11:59 PM EST are invited to compete in East Coast Stamina 7.
The top 12 FRENCH players and top 4 EUROPEAN players who have earned the highest total TP by July 31st at 11:59 PM CEST are invited to compete in French Coast Stamina 3.
Prizes will also be awarded to the top 4 players who have accrued the highest total EXP by September 2nd at 11:59 PM EST:

1st Place: $400 USD
2nd Place: $200 USD
3rd Place: $100 USD
4th Place: $50 USD

[GENERAL INFO]
[QUALIFIERS]

“Pass songs, get good scores, win.”
EN :
Hello everyone and welcome to the 2018 installment of Allez Les Filles !
This tournament is held at Celine’s house and has the vocation of being an international, girls-only tournament, ran by Celine Blanc, Tuhka Kat, Elo, Okami and yours truely. It will last 3 days (that Monday is a day-off in France)
The tournament will follow the OG Girlspocalypse rules with some tweaks to it which is basically 3 categories, Stamina, Speed and Timing, two 1 (one) hour sessions to get the maximum of points you can in the different categories.
Difficulties will probably range from 9 to 17 (might be tweaked if we happen to have people from the US playing above this level), so everyone is welcomed to participate.
Specific rules will soon be updated but remember, this is not GP, and nor is it the female Eurocup, it’s an event meant to gather female players from France and all of Europe together to have some great fun !
General rules :
SM5/OpenITG/StockITG allowed
Decents/Wayoffs ON.
No Mines is allowed.
C-MOD is allowed
Any mods allowed except for those that change the number of arrows in a chart.
Submissions must be done by posting scores here with Nickname and Country of Origin.
Qualifiers will have 3 categories :
Timing (2 songs) :
The Timing part contains 2 FA songs rated 9 and 10, final score will be : Score Song1 + Score Song2
All scores count.
Speed & Stamina (3 songs each) :
There will be 3 levels, 10, 12 and 14.
Only the passing scores count, total Score is Level3 Passing Score * 10000 + Level2 Passing Score * 100 + Level1.
This will make you have 3 ranks, one for each category. We will add your 3 ranks, make a total of points with it, and rank you with that.
EXAMPLE :
I placed 3rd in Speed, 5th in Timing, 2nd in stamina, I got 3+5+2=10 points. Anyone with less than 10 points will have a better rank than me, anyone with more will have a worse rank.
Qualifiers end on March 15th, and unless there is exceptional response in terms of participants, everyone who passed at least a qualifier song is in. This serves for seeding and to judge general interest.

CEO featuring Storm 2018
2018-06-29 12:00 - 2018-07-01 16:00 (America/New_York) | Ocean Center, 101 N Atlantic Ave, Daytona Beach, FL, 32118, United States
Storm at CEO 2018 WebsiteFacebook Event Page
CEO Gaming would like to welcome the Rhythm and Dance Game community to CEO 2018
DDR Storm was created by Joshua Campbell in January 2002 and quickly became Florida’s premiere dance game event. At first the events were smaller, only appealing to the local scenes. However, over the years it expanded to all of Florida and its neighboring states, bringing multiple communities together for fun and competition. After being an established annual tournament series for over ten years, it finally reached the national level, bringing in the top players in the country and becoming one of the longest running dance game tournament series in history.
However, at the peak of its success, Joshua found new passions to pursue. In 2017 Storm went on a hiatus due to Joshua being unable to pass off the event to his successor. Going into 2018, Joshua finally decided it was time to let go of Storm. It was at this point the dance game community reached out to Jebailey for advice on putting together an event which led into the welcoming of Storm into CEO, one of the largest fighting game events in the world which happens to have many Dance Game players and fans as well.
The Florida members who have assisted Joshua with previous Storms will be working closely with Jebailey to run a quality dance game tournament for the entire community. If this event is a runaway success, we have a chance to be included every year. There’s no time like the present to make dance games great again, and as we all know…Time is essential at DDR Storm.
Little bit of a back story on myself, Alex Jebailey, and my history with DDR for those that may not be aware. I used to go by the nickname of Guiness, after attempting the World Record for DDR on January 28th, 2002 where I played Dance Dance Revolution 5th mix for over 13 hours straight cycling through all difficulties including heavy mode nonstop. Back then, I was playing DDR ever since USA mix in the early 2000’s nearly 3-4 hours a day at various arcades in Orlando. Before I got into fighting games competitively again, DDR, ITG 1 & 2 were a big part of my life and so was the community, competing in various technical and freestyle tournaments( I even hosted a couple at Rocky’s Replay) with a few trophies under my belt (please don’t look up my old DDR videos on YouTube). While I moved on around 2007 from consistently playing Dance Games, I’ve continued to stay connected with various members of the community and with the recent expansion of CEO to a new massive venue, we have the space to accommodate the community and get more eyes on a passion just as strong as the fighting game community’s. This addition to CEO has the blessing of former DDR Storm founder and director, Tyger, so we hope to see you at CEO 2018 for DDR Storm, and please, I’m retired and old, no challenges.
Now let’s get to the details about Storm at CEO 2018!
These three Official Tournaments will be added to www.smash.gg/ceo2018 registration. Information on signing up, travel and lodging for CEO 2018 can be found on www.ceogaming.org/ceo.

Summer Fairytale: a couples DDR A remote tournament
2018-07-01 09:00 - 2018-08-10 23:30 (America/New_York) | Online
Facebook Event Page— more details soon! —
— July + August 2018 —
– Play together + compete remotely
– Upper + lower skill divisions
– Additional mixed division, which must include a female player
– Participate in multiple unique teams
– Complete team challenges for more points
– Prizes for top teams
– Play with others you don’t normally play with!
tournament rules
This is a couples tournament — meaning you and a teammate will be competing against other pairs of DDR players! You and your teammate must physically play your sets together as P1 and P2, and provide photos of your scores on the designated tournament songs for entry.
Participants will do their best on a selection of songs between July 1, 2018 and August 10, 2018. This is a remote tournament, meaning you will play as much as you want, at any time throughout the tournament dates on your local DDR A machine.
To participate, you may enter either the upper division or the lower division. However, you may enter as many times as you’d like with different teammates to form unique teams.
Lower division will have songs with difficulties from 9 to 13.
Upper division will have songs with difficulties up to 18.
You may also enter the mixed division. Mixed division teams must include at least one woman-identifying competitor. This may be entered in addition to either upper division or lower division, or you and your teammate may choose to exclusively compete in the mixed division. This may also be entered as many times as you’d like with different teammates forming unique teams.
Mixed division will have songs with difficulties up to 17.
There will be a total of six songs for each division, divided into two specific sets of three songs each. The songs as must be done in a complete set as outlined, but you may play them in any order desired.
Extra stage may be used to replay one of the songs in the set to improve it.
Each song will have a set difficulty to play on, and may require you and your teammate to play the same song on different difficulties.
If the song has different difficulties listed, you and your teammate will individually determine on a song by song basis who will play which difficulty.
Example:
set 1 is song A (12 rating), song B (10 and 11 rating), song C (12 and 13 rating)
player 1 and player 2 will both play song A as a 12
player 2 chooses to play song B‘s 11 and song C‘s 12
player 1 will play song B‘s 10 and song C‘s 13
We recommend discussing before you play where your and your teammates strengths lie! Try to talk through in advance who will play which difficulty.
You may also choose to change who plays which difficulty for later sets. Even if you have previously submitted scores, you can replay the set and change who plays on which difficulty. Try it out in different ways!
You must play on an official DDR A machine. No Stepmania scores will be accepted. Any modifiers may be used with the exception of Cut/Little.
score submission
Your EX score is what matters here – it’s at the bottom on the song results screen. Your total EX score for each set will translate into a certain amount of points, based on where you rank against others. EX scoring works as follows:
Marvelous: 3 points
Perfect: 2 points
Great: 1 point
Good: 0 point
Miss: 0 point
OK: 3 points
NG: 0 point
You are encouraged to submit improvements as often as you play.
Failing scores still count!
For score submissions, please include photos of each song’s results screen AND a photo of the summary screen, showing overall set results (a total of four pictures are needed per set).
Make sure to discuss with your teammate who will be responsible for submitting scores, and decide on a team name together!
Photos must clearly show your e-amuse DDR tag, your teammates DDR tag, and EX score for both players.
Please submit scores through Google Forms (link TBD!)
Points will be awarded per set on a scaled basis, using total combined EX score.
Points are distributed using the following scale:
1st: 10 points
2nd: 9 points
3rd: 8 points
4th: 7 points
5th: 6 points
6th: 5 points
7th: 4 points
8th: 3 points
9th: 2 points
10th or lower: 1 point
Division winners will be determined by total division points earned at conclusion of the tournament.
If teams are tied by amount of points, the tied teams total combined EX score across both sets will be used as a tiebreaker.
Although you may enter with as many unique teams as you like, each individual may only place ONCE, and this impacts the entire team.
Example:
player a and player b have a total of 4200 in ex score
player a and player c have a total of 4175 in ex score
player d and player e have a total of 4105 ex score
player e and player c have a total of 3995 in ex score
player f and player g have a total of 3910 in ex score
The division top 3 will place as follows, due to the individual placement rule:
First place: player A and player B
Second place: player D and player E
Third place: player F and player G
There will be additional opportunities to earn points by completing tournament challenges with your team.
etiquette
You must play within your appropriate division. As a rule of thumb, if you are capable of consistently passing 14s and have passed a few 15s, you should enter the upper division. This is a friendly competition, but we still want competition to be fair.
Use this tournament as an opportunity to meet new people, play with others you don’t normally play with, and to push yourself to get the best scores you can!
Harassment or bullying of other participants will result in disqualification. This is at the discretion of tournament organizers.
Scores must be from the time period of the tournament and must be submitted on time.
ルール
これはペアで参加する大会です！チームメートと一緒に他のDDRのペアチームと対抗して頂きます。チームメートとはリモート参加型ではなく、チームメートと一緒に同じDDR機械で（P1とP2として）プレイしてください。参加するためには、大会課題曲のスコアの写真が必要です。
２０１８年７月１日〜８月１０日までが、大会開催期間です。その間、精一杯課題曲に取り組み、ご自身の力を出し切ってください。曲は間もなく発表予定です。現地参加型の大会なので、大会開催期間の間、現地のゲームセンターのDDR Aで回数、時間帯の制限なく、プレイすることが出来ます。
上級レベル、もしくは下級レベルのどちらかに参加できます。しかし、違うチームメートと一緒に組めば、好きなだけ何回でも参加できます。
下級レベルの難易度は９から１３までです。
上級レベルの難易度は１８までです。
ミックスレベルにも参加できます。ミックスレベルのチームは、少なくとも女性選手が一人必要です。ミックスレベルチームは上級レベルと下級レベルのどちらか選んで参加できます。もしくは、ミックスレベルの参加だけでも可能です。ミックスレベルのチームも違うチームメートと組めば、何度でも参加できます。
ミックスレベルの難易度は１7までです。
それぞれの級に、課題曲が６曲あります。２つのセクションがあり、曲が３つずつ含まれています。一つのセクションを通して行っても、ご自身の好きな順番で行っても構いません。
エクストラステージでは、得点を上げる為、好きな曲をもう一度プレイしてください。
ぞれぞれの曲は決定されている難易度でプレイすることになります。その為、あなたとチームメートは同じ曲を違う難易度でプレイすることになるかもしれません。
もし、同じ曲で違う難易度のものがあれば、チームメートと一緒に、誰がどちらの難易度をプレイするのかを決めてください。
例：
セット１：曲A（１２）、曲B（１１と１２）、曲C（１２と１３）
プレヤー１とプレヤー２はどちらも曲Aの12をプレイします。
プレヤー２は曲Bの１１と、曲Cの１２をします。
プレヤー１は曲Bの１０と、曲Cの１３をします。
プレイする前に、チームメートの長所がどこなのかについて二人で相談しておく事をオススメします。どちらがどちらの難易度に適しているのかを事前に話し合ってみてください。
もしくはにだれがどの難易度をするかは、後で決めても構いません。スコアを提出した後でもう一度プレイしてみて、各々がする難易度を変えても構いません。色々試してみてください！
公式DDR Aの機械でプレイしてください。ステップマニアは認められません。オプションで設定を変更しても構いませんが、CutとLittleは使用しないでください。
スコアの提出
今回EX スコアを評価することになりました（スコア結果画面の下にあるもの）。EXスコアは他の選手に対してあなたがどこのランクに位置しているかよって、下記のスコアに変換され、加点されます。
EXスコアは下記の通り変換されます：
Marvelous: 3 points ３点
Perfect: 2 points ２点
Great: 1 point １点
Good: 0 point ０点
Miss: 0 point ０点
OK: 3 points ３点
NG: 0 point ０点
スコアを上げる為に、何度もプレイすることが出来ます！頑張って！
失敗しても、スコアはカウントされます！
スコア提出の際は、各曲のスコア詳細画面、ゲームセットの最後に出る最終スコアの画面、の両方を写真に撮って提出してください。ゲームセットの結果をすべて確認する為です。（セットごとに合計4枚の写真が必要になります。）
チームメートとどちらがスコアを提出するのかを相談し、チーム名も決めておいてください！
チーム２人のDDR上のニックネーム、チームメートのニックネーム、EXスコアが、はっきりと分かる写真を提出してください。
グーグルフォームでスコアを提出をしてください。（リンクは間もなく発表されます。）
ポイントは、EXスコアの結果も合算し、決められたスケールを基準にして計算されます。
ポイントの配分は下記の通りです。
1st: 10 points １位：１０点
2nd: 9 points ２位：９点
3rd: 8 points ３位：８点
4th: 7 points ４位：７点
5th: 6 points ５位：６点
6th: 5 points ６位：５点
7th: 4 points ７位：４点
8th: 3 points ８位：３点
9th: 2 points ９位：２点
10th or lower: 1 point １０位以下：１点
各級の優勝者は大会での最終獲得ポイントの結果で決められます。
もし同点のチームが出てきた場合、両セットでのEXスコアの合計点で勝つチームを決めます。
他の選手と何度もチームを組むことはできますが、個々の選手は一度しかランキングされず、それは全てのチームに影響を与えることになります。
例：
プレイヤーAとプレイヤーBのEXスコアの結果は4200です。
プレイヤーAとプレイヤーCのEXスコアの結果は4175です。
プレイヤーDとプレイヤーEのEXスコアの結果は4105です。
プレイヤーEとプレイヤーCのEXスコアの結果は3995です。
プレイヤーFとプレイヤーGのEXスコアの結果は3910です。
各級のトップ３は、ルールに従って、以下のように決定されます：
一位：プレヤーAとプレヤーB
二位：プレヤーDとプレヤーE
三位：プレヤーFとプレヤーG
