East Coast Stamina 6.5
2018-03-03 00:00 - 2018-05-14 00:00 (America/New_York) | Online
Visit Groovestats for full info on East Coast Stamina 6.5.What is ECS6.5?:
ECS6.5 is the eleventh (after ECS1, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, and 6) tournament in the East Coast Stamina series. The objective is to try to clear as many of the hardest stamina charts as you can within the format of the tournament. It is a team tournament, and you may enter it on a team of up to three individuals.
Once again, since this isn’t a “main” ECS (like, one of the whole number ones), it’s going to be split into an upper and lower division to make it more accessible to a wider range of participants.
When:
Entrants can submit their sets at any time BEFORE May 14th, 2018 to count towards the ranking. Within that timeframe, when and where they do this is at their discretion, so long as they adhere to the rules detailed further on.
Where:
Wherever. Any ITG machine that’s running an ITG theme and not the StomperZ one Stepmania 5 is acceptable as long as you’re using ITG’s life/scoring mechanics (using the Simply Love theme on Competitive mode is the easiest way to accomplish that).
What are the prizes?:
Each player that competes gets a special ECS6.5 poster.
The members of each team in the lower division that breaks 1100 total points between their marathons and their Raw Output set (after scaling) get a special ECS6.5 shirt.
The members of each team in the upper division that breaks 700 total points between their marathons and their Raw Output set (after scaling) get a more special ECS6.5 shirt.
Each member of a team of my choosing from each division that I note as having performed especially well relative to their skill level gets a special, three of a kind poster.
Each member of the winning team of each division gets a special, three of a kind poster and a trophy.
Keep in mind it’ll probably take me a while to mail everything once the tournament is over.
Format:
ECS6.5 is a team tournament split into an Upper Division and a Lower Division, with two portions to the tournament for each division.
Teams are comprised of up to three individuals total; deciding who to team up with is up to you.
It is strongly preferred that you enter with people you are able to play on the same machine with, but in special cases, if you advise me in advance, I will permit you to play on separate machines. This is really only an issue for the Raw Output set; you must coordinate between your other team members if they’re not playing at the same place as you to ensure that you are not playing songs at the same time on different machines, or else you’re giving yourself an unfair advantage over other competitors. I would recommend streaming to each other if possible or at least using messaging to make sure you know when you can start your next song. Again, it is strictly against the rules for two different people on a team to be playing songs at the same time during Raw Output. You may also take the approach of just dividing your four hour block up amongst your team, but it goes without saying this puts you at a disadvantage in terms of efficiency.
Each entrant can enter on up to two teams for EACH of the Upper and Lower divisions, but they are not eligible for duplicate prizes (meaning if I were to enter on the maximum of four teams, and all of the teams happen to win the same prize, I only get that prize one time rather than four times)
There is no concept of ‘local ranking’ versus ‘remote ranking’ in this tournament– each division has its own ranking, period, and all teams entering are eligible for winnings regardless of where they play.
The lower division has songs in it from 12s-17s and marathons made up of 13s. It is recommended that you at least be comfortable with 13s if you’re going to enter. If you/your team fails the marathon(s), it will still count towards your team’s marathon total, however.
The upper division has songs from 16s-24s and a marathon with charts ranging from 16s to 21s. It’s recommended that you be able to pass at least a few lower 18s on command if you’re going to enter the upper division.
C-mods are legal. Mirror/other turn mods are legal. No Mines is legal. Any mods that add or subtract arrows, holds, or rolls– those are not.
You may rate mod songs, but only at rates that are at or above 1.0x, and you will not receive any point bonus for doing so.
Bracketing/mashing is not permitted in any portion of the tournament.
You must compete on ITG. The StomperZ theme is not allowed due to different life and scoring metrics.
You may turn off way-offs and decents (it will only really help you in the marathon portion, though).

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 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.

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)
Honk / Anthony (Canada)
Archi / Ian (United States)

*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.

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!

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!

2017-04-15 10:00 - 23:30 (America/New_York) | Round 1 TAKATSU, Round One Takatsu, 〒213-0002, Japan
来年、もう20周年なんですね。DDR。
戦争にようこそ。
今年もまた、WARSを開催します。
今度はちゃんと準備時間あるので正直ホッとしております。
主催挨拶ですが、去年実は言いたいことを書ききってしまっているのです。
手抜きでも何でもなく、同じ意思、同じ気持ちでやるという意味で、
私の挨拶は去年のaboutとほぼ同じですということでリンクを貼らせて頂きます。
WARS 2016 About
先日、世界1位が決まった所ではありますが、
我々は、4/15、高津に集まった人達の最強を決めようと思います。
技術を磨いて、このゲームをどれだけ楽しんでいるのかをぶつけに来て下さい。
もしかしたら、この戦いを勝ち抜くには前者よりも後者が必要なのかもしれません。
尤も、前者もまた、後者の積み重ねでしか無いかもしれませんが。
「楽しんでるやつが最強だとも思う。それだけはどうか、忘れないで。」
遥か昔にこの言葉を使いました。
断言が似合わないこの世界で、それは断言してもいいぐらい、間違ってなかったと思ってます。
楽しんだ積み重ねの結果を、ぶつけに来て下さい。
15回目の戦争。15回目の最強が決まる場所で、お待ちしております。
WARS. 主催 : YsK439 (Fumiaki Ito) / @ysk439
戦場へ、ようこそ。
WARS. 共同主催のgahouです。
今年のKACが終わり、私自身ファイナリストとして参加し、色々思ったことがあります。
アメリカでDDRAが稼働し、全一スコアがどんどん更新され、今まで持っていた「スコアに対する常識」は大きく覆されました。
大会の一発勝負でとんでもないスコアが出され、「上手さと強さの両立」という事について再考させられる事になりました。
私自身、上手くなるためには、強くなるためには何をすべきか、改めて考えさせられるきっかけになりました。
その一方で、変わらない事もありました。
それは、「楽しんでいる奴が最強」という事です。
彼らはDDRが楽しくて、DDRが大好きで、ずっとDDRの事を話しているような人達でした。
羨ましいくらい、DDRの事ばかり考えていました。
さて。
戦争は、「1対1の殴り合いというシンプルな楽しさ」を提案し、
また、「相手の事を考えて戦う」という、その場に皆が集うからこそ出来る遊び方の提案を行なっているつもりで私はいます。
数字の上での新時代が訪れた今、昔から変わらないルールでも新たな戦いが見られるのではないかと思っております。
戦争も15回目。
その日の”最強”を決める場所にて、皆様をお待ちしております。

HOTELS:
These are all within literal walking distance of the mall, and right next to the Round1 entrance of the mall. Of these, I’d probably lean a little more towards the SpringHill Suites since they’re a bit cheaper than the other two and specifically mention an airport shuttle. Free breakfast too!

These are all viable too and right next to the mall, although they’re right outside of normal walking distance.
