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!

Eventbrite Tickets sold here.
System Arcadia is back for the 4th year in a row, and we continue to grow larger and larger with each show that we do. This time, we’re going big! 4 years means 4 big headliners from all walks of life. Normally we have an emphasis on talent from over the Pacific Ocean but this year we are hosting some of the finest talent in JCore and TechDance from both Japan and the United States for an amazing lineup that no one will ever forget!
Full Artist Lineup
Remo-con – Konami Digital Entertainment, Hellhouse Recordings, EXIT TUNES, rtrax
Rhythm is the basic element of any track. Melody runs alongside it. These two core elements live coherently accompanying dynamism and an uplifting vibe in every track produced by REMO-CON. He has mastered all these quests every producer aspires to in his own amazing format of sounds.
Throughout his 20-year carrier, the history of REMO-CON starts with the single ”G-Sigh” released in 2005, which was based on hard-sounds. After that, follows the release of Killer Tracks such as, “Cold Front”(Anjunabeats/UK), “Atavism”(DJ MAG Review ☆9”), “Narky Light”, “Instability.” In 2009, to sum up the first period of his carrier, 『a life with remote controllers 』was released, and in 2011, his DJ mix CD 『VIBLE 02 mixed by REMO-CON』was also released under his solo project name for the first time. The recent release of “FUZE” this spring, hit the top of beatport Hard Dance chart. What’s more, in 1993, REMO-CON and his friends launched “Y&Co.,” a collective of music producers. Ever since then he has worked as the main studio manipulator for over 250 compilation CD titles, remixes and continues to improve his skills. As a creator, he has done remixes and song arrangements for a wide range of world wide artists, from System F, Alex Kenji, to Ayumi Hamasaki and ‪Lilly James‬ just to name a few.
From 2001, REMO-CON started to appear regularly at 「Cyber TRANCE」, establishing his publicity. Since then, not to mention all over in Japan, but he also has Played in many countries such as England, Canada and Australia. Moreover, in 2009, he has participated in a large-scale Dutch festival “Dance Valley” and “SUMMER SONIC” in 2012.
His solid DJ style of juggling the CDJ with the sense of live performing is praised highly, and in the domestic DJ ranking 「DJ 50/50」organized by iLoud, he moved up from been third place for two straight years, to the second place.
As a new attempt, the radio DJ live show『Remote Control』(block FM [http://block.fm/] )which he hosts, and 『Friday Night Hot Mix』broadcasted on FM Yokohama are also gathering attention. His name as a master piece has reached not only to all over Japan, but to Europe, North America and Asian countries as well. We can say that the future of dance music scene is on his shoulders.
ni-21
ni-21 (Pronounced nee-nee) in his days before becoming a regular contributor to beatmaniaIIDX, starting in 2000 he has been DJ’ing and producing music all over Japan. He has two albums and six EP’s to his name. More notably his track “Ravey Days” has been adopted to VIBLE03, compiled and mixed by Mr. YOJI, a global leader of the HDM scene. ni-21’s 3 tracks in IIDX have been absolute hits thus far and we cannot wait to hear more of his hard dance sound to the Bemani series.
Flapjack – Rave n’ Beats Recordings
DJ Flapjack is a Los Angeles-based oldskool hardcore deejay whose passion for cheesy beats and dedication to his art has quickly rocketed him to a respected position among his underground deejay peers, and led him to become a well-known artist worldwide. Represented by Rave n’ Beats Recordings and rocking extremely hi-NRG 100% vinyl hardcore sets; a friend to kandi ravers near and far, Flapjack is known for more than just his friendly persona and fashion sense. His keen sense of tunes, lightning fast scratching, and turntablist mixing skills are sure to win over the hearts of happy hardcore fans, new and old!
AkiraComplex – S2TB Recordings
Akira Complex has had a meteoric rise to prominence in the J-Core scene. His first releases on Kors K’s S2TB label include numerous remixes (As One, Are You Ready, On The Beat, Icarus), some of his signature songs (Rift.exe, Oddysey), and his first full album, The Synthesis Collective.
He followed that up with a remix on a major label album (Because of You (Akira Complex Remix)), a collaboration track with Noizenecio (Deviant Mechanics) featured in Hardcore Syndrome X, and two incredible collaboration albums with Hommarju (We Are Connected) and Camellia (Reality Distortion).
Over the past year, along with new tracks for Bizarre Nation (Consequence of Nature) and Bass Avengers 2 (Stinger Missile), his music has been featured in many rhythm games, including Zyon (Vector Cannon), Arcaea (Relentless), and beatmaniaIIDX 25 (Break Stasis).
He’s played numerous shows, both in Japan (the S2TB Gathering and S2TBTANO*C series) and stateside (PARTY2012 IRL, Anime Expo).
When he steps up, you know something magical is gonna happen. His sound, though it’s changed over the years, has always had something unique about it; you can hear the emotion and passion in every track he makes.
DJ Dice – Hardbass Addicts/NYCRavers
As a 18 year veteran of the rave scene, with 13 of them being behind the decks, DJ Dice is no stranger
to the masses. He has spent years perfecting his sound into what it is today. As a solo artist and just
finishing a 10 year run as the Hardbass Addicts alongside DJ partner DJ Cepheus, Dice has built up a solid
fanbase. Bringing his unique track selection, on stage antics and INSANE ENERGY, you guys better
be ready to dance. Between dropping those euphoric hardstyle bangers, Jumpstyle slammers and that RAWSTYLE madness. DJ Dice will be ready for DANCEFLOOR DESTRUCTION! As he always
does, be sure to find him after his set for a ton of FREE CDS!

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
他にもトーナメントチャレンジをコンプリートすることで、ポイントを稼ぐチャンスがあります。チームでトーナメントチャレンジをしてみてください！
エチケット
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、１４をこなすことが出来、１５も出来るのであれば、上級レベルに参加してください。これはフレンドリーな大会ですが、公平であることを大切にしています。
この大会で新しい友達を作ったり、普段とは違う選手とDDRをしたり、自分に挑戦したりしてみてください！
参加者に対してのハラスメントやいじめ行為があった場合は、参加取り上げとします。本大会管理人の決定により施行されます。
スコアは大会の初日から、締切日まで認められます。それ以外のものは認められません。

Welcome to the official Facebook page of the In The Groove European Cup 2018, which unlike the four previous editions, will take place in The Netherlands. You can find all the relevant information on this event page, as well as on our website and on our social media channels.
First of all, we would like to thank the Finnish Dance game Association, better known as Suomen Tanssipelaajat ry, for organizing four incredible tournaments in Helsinki, Finland! We will do our best to organize a tournament worthy of being a European Cup.
For this edition of the European Cup, we will team up with the French people who were also responsible for organizing the last edition of French Toast FA, which was also a great success!
The tournament will take place from Tuesday 24 July until Saturday 28 July!
Questions:
If you have any questions regarding the event, you can ask them on this page or send a message to Christopher Francis Hazekamp.
Hope to see you all in the upcoming summer!

Cupcake Timing Festival v2
2018-08-01 08:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | Online
Facebook Event PageThis is the second edition of the Cupcake Timing Festival. This is an open level and open timing competition for the females of the community, so no qualifiers (there will be a placement song at the time of the tournament). Difficulties will range from 6-12s with a lower and upper division. The idea of this is to bring females together with a low pressure atmosphere, where community is the most important part of the event. There will be no remote event because of this. I kind of wanted this to be more along the lines of a hang out and vacation among the females of the community, thus the three day event with a short get-a-way during the time here.
I am still considering a DDR tournament, but the catch is DDR songs would have to played on stock ITG, so probably cannot use the Ace theme (I am not up to date on how this works and would need a second person to help run this end). If you are interested having that, please comment else I will not know.
Scoring will be based on number of fantastics and excellents, dropped holds and rolls, and mines hit. Keeping it simple. Will be using Simply Love theme for stock ITG. Awards for all Participants and separate awards for top three in each division.

Tournament Format
Hard FA Swiss
– The event will be 1v1 using the Swiss format
– It will be on normal ITG window sizes with altered judgement weights (listed below) using the Simply Arrows/Love theme (included with download)
– Swiss format; in this format, there will be 4 (possibly 5 depending on time) rounds where all players will compete against another player of the same win/loss ratio
– During later rounds, players will never play the same person twice.
– For example, after the first round, everyone will be either 1 – 0 or 0 – 1.
– For the second round, the 0 – 1s will be assigned to play one another, while the 1 – 0s
will be assigned to play one another as well, all based on seeding.
– The same thing will happen for future rounds, being that people play each other with the same wins/losses.
– This format allows for players to never be eliminated, have the same amount of playing opportunity as everyone else, and never be stuck playing the same person twice.
– The higher seed will get choice of song protection, song veto, or side (more specifics below)
– The higher seed will choose first, then the lower seed will choose one of the remaining two options, and the third will fall back on the higher seed
– Seeding is determined by your cumulative rank on the Hard FA courses (not including the FA+ courses)
– Song selection (vetoing and protection phase) will be based on card draw. 5 Cards will be drawn, 2 will be protected first (determined by who decides order), and 2 will be
eliminated (also determined by who decides order, one by each player, exactly like how storm and other big events are set up)
– The 5 songs will then be played in the order they are drawn, best 2 out of 3 to decide winner.
– I will allow 2 warm up songs (1 song chosen by each player) before each round starts (nothing that exceeds 2 and a half minutes).
– No mines is not permitted
– Decents and way offs will be disabled
– Hide background and mirror are permitted
– The packs consists of 10s to 12s, all focusing on very specific FA skills from all categories.
– There will be a select few no CMOD songs that will be noted accordingly in the subtitles and song list.
Grade Weights
Fantastic: 3
Excellent: 2
Great: 1
Miss: 0
Mines: -1
Rolls: -1
Freezes: -1
FA+ Set
– As usual, FA+ will have a different approach than it did in the previous installments.
– This time, entrants will have the opportunity which songs they’d like to play from the 4 difficulties (9, 10, 11, 12) out of the pack
– Players must choose one 9, 10, 11, and 12 prior to the event to play and get blue fantastic percentage tallied for
– Each difficulty will have five different charts to choose from, all with various BPMs and skill set differentials.
– Before the event starts, you must choose one song from each difficulty to play and you must choose a partner to play with. You both must agree on the four songs you wish to play. This is for time saving purposes
– The higher FA+ seed groups will get to choose first which day they’d like to play their set (Friday, Saturday, or Sunday)
– Each group will be allotted 2 replays they can either use by themselves after their set of 4 songs or with their partner if they wish.
– These 2 replays can be used in the following ways:
Replay 1 or 2 of the chosen songs
Play a different song or songs out of the remaining choices in the pack
– I will always take your best score, so even if you do worse on a replay, I will take the better score
– We are only tracking blue percentage; this means mines can be turned off as well as greats, decents, and way offs.
– Your primary focus is the blue fantastic window; it’s your job to pick your best strength out of the availabile songs and skill sets and prepare accordingly before the event.
– Please make sure you coordinate either in this event page or privately to find a partner to play your set with.
– If anyone wants to come in early Friday or Thursday night, I will allow you to play a solo set.
Grade Weights
Blue fantastic % out of the total steps only
H.S Team Battle
– This is the second edition of the side event for ECFA, H.S.2.
– This time, it will be a team based competition
– There will be two teams for this event, and they will be chosen by the team captains who are first and second seed.
– Your team captains for H.S.2 are Ryan Konkul and Alex Scepansky
– Team captains will take turns picking teammates in an ABBAABBA order. Team A will be first seed (Ryan)
– Team drafting and names will begin July 1st 2018
– Captains are only allowed to choose players within the top 16 or those who plan on being at and attending ECFA 5. This is why we will start the draft on July 1st; final committed top 16 should be completed by then.
– After the two teams of 5 have been created, the captains will then alternate picking songs from the HS pack (starting with Alex for first pick)
– The songs chosen will then be assigned to one of their teammates by the team captain. The opposing team will not know who is being assigned which song that is picked.
– Each team will choose 5 songs (one for each member of their team), and they will be different than the ones chosen from the opposing team (you cannot pick the same song the opposing team already chose)
– After both teams have picked their 5 unique songs and have privately assigned them to their teammates (this should obviously be done with strategy and conversing with your team before choosing), the captains will then assign the songs the opposing teams picked to their teammates.
– The exception is that the team captains must play each other’s songs they assigned to themselves; in other words, Ryan will play his pick plus Alex’s pick, and Alex will play Ryan’s pick and his own.
– Team members will be playing a song that’s been assigned to them from their team captain via discussion and strategics, and they will also play a song chosen from the opposing team assigned to them from the captain
– After both teams have their 2 songs decided (which, again, is private information that will be shared only with a non-HS player such as Henry), we will draw 5 random songs from the pack that were not selected
– These 5 songs will again be assigned to the team by the captain so everyone must play 3 songs total.
– Tldr; if you are a team member, you will be playing:
Your teams pick that is assigned to you( exception for team captains must play each other’s picks)
Opposing teams pick that is assigned to you (exception for team captains must play each other’s picks)
Random song drawn that is assigned to you
– We will only play not play the third songs if the one team is already winning at least 8-2 by that time.
– Every teammate will get 2 warm up songs before playing
– The grade weights are listed below, but all that matters is getting a win or loss over the other team playing the same song as you.
– Grade weights are:
Total fantastics; every 2 misses, mines, dropped holds, or dropped rolls will deduct 1 fantastic
– This will not necessarily be 1v1, but rather a gauntlet competition with you just need a better score than your opponent, as it will not be cumulative DP
– If you have any questions in regards to this format, please message me and let me know, because it’s hard to explain in just this description
Content
– The pack and all necessary contents will be hosted from my Google Drive account. This file will include all songs and marathons for Hard FA, FA+, H.S., and the themes used for both tournaments, and the qualifiers (in case anyone would still like those)
– I will also have separate links for the packs individually
– For Hard FA, your opponents strength if your number one tie breaker, followed by total song wins
– For FA+, the winners are decided by the best cumulative rank for blue % across all 4 difficulties
– Top 5 for ECFA will be decided by your combined rank of Hard FA and FA+, and HS will have it’s own separate ranking
Venue
– This will be at my house, address listed at the top
– Tentatively, I have a 20 dollar entry like before to help pay for the housing utilities, food and drinks I’ll have for the event, equipment
for the event (streaming stuff I may have to acquire, outdoor stuff, etc.), and the trophies and other prizes (CASH PRIZES)
– Any other donations would be greatly appreciated but not required
– The house will also have access to a Pop ‘n Usaneko, Reflec Beat Reflasia, ASC for other Bemani Games, and Pump it up for warm ups
– Please use street parking and not other peoples drive ways; my drive way should have space for 4 cars total
– A rule that I can’t stress enough; due to space issues, please leave unused items and shoes in the basement near the bar area (leave room for the cats to walk!) There is always too little space for everyone, so we need to conserve as much as possible. Please leave your belongings in the basement area. and showering supplies in the downstairs bathroom storage areas
– Sleeping arrangements: I will be allowing up to 20 people stay here (subject to change), with there also being available space at other locals homes possibly. I will have a few couches to sleep on, spare bed, an air mattress, a futon, and an entire patio room to use.
Entrants
– Anyone who I invited and is in the top 16 list is welcome to come and enter.
– Spectators and those who are not entering: priority goes to people who have attended previous events and/or would be good substitutions for entering in case of emergencies. You were already invited to the event page, and I can add more if more people decide they can’t come.
– If you haven’t been to one and not in top 16 or you have been but are not now and want to come, please contact me and we will talk about you being here.
Shirts
– Shirt orders begin whenever you can let me know. I will order them myself and sell them to you at the event. You must tell me a size(s) you intend to purchase in advance.
– Shirt picture will be made available soon
Other misc. info.
– I have a decent stream set up that I will use for the event, hopefully adding better cameras soon.
– Anyone with good webcams are welcome to bring them to try to make it even better
– Outdoor activities (water balloon fights, slip n slide, games) will definitely be happening this year again! Please bring suits and whatnot as well as towels, and feel free to bring other outdoor water stuff/games for us to play
– There will be lots of table top games over the weekend, so feel free to bring your own as well!
– If you need to stay longer than the two nights, let me know and we will work something out.
Shoutouts
Ryan Gudonis – banners and graphics. Super helpful and dilligent as always, and I appreciate it greatly
Alessandro and Mute – Syncing some songs in the pack; definitely much appreciated and it made life a lot easier on me.
BiB – Pack feedback and general feedback about the event definitely helped me out quite a bit. Thank you for the assistance as always.
Everyone who made charts for this pack – These are all amazing and you’re all awesome for doing that. Keep making more charts!
Everyone who keeps attending or participating in ECFA – You guys are all awesome people and I’m glad you’ve all stuck around.
Let’s make this the best one yet!

3. 현장 관람 및 방송
a. 현장 관람
당일 오락실의 협조를 받아 오락실 전체를 대회장으로 쓰기에 대회장 내에서 자유롭게 활동하실 수 있습니다.
(디디알 외 기기 대부분을 꺼둘 예정.)
다만, 대회 자체에 대한 방해가 있거나 물의를 일으킬시 스탭이 제지할 수 있는 점 양해 부탁드립니다.
결선에 진출하신 분들께 기념품을 드릴 예정이며, 등수에 따라 경품이 차등지급되지만, 현장 관람객과 예선 참가자 여러분께도 소정의 경품을 드릴 예정입니다.
현장관람은 기본적으로 자유관람을 지향하고 있지만, 오락실에 인원을 받을 수 있는 한계치를 계산하고 필요에 따라서는 사전 신청을 받을 수 있습니다.
당일 대회장이 혼잡스러울 수 있으니, 지시에 최대한 따라주시면 빠른 진행과 쾌적한 진행으로 즐거운 관람을 도와드리겠습니다.
공식 뒤풀이의 경우 대회 시작시에 현장인원중 뒤풀이 참여인원을 먼저 받아서 예약을 할 예정입니다. 필요 금액등에 대해서는 차후 공지로 알려드리겠습니다.
b. 방송
현재 대회의 방송이 예정되어 있습니다. 송출 플랫폼은 YOUTUBE (가능하면 추가로 트위치) 입니다.
중계 및 해설을 현재 생각해두고 있기에 맞는 분을 섭외하거나 주최측에서 직접 할 가능성이 있습니다.
이부분은 최대한 준비해보도록 하겠습니다. 디디알 특성상 설명이 들어갔을때 더 흥미로운 관람을 하실수 있을거라 봅니다.
도네이션의 경우에는 누적금액분을 뒤풀이에서 사용할 예정입니다.
방송의 경우 현장상황에 따라 변동될 수 있음을 미리 알려드립니다.
3. 기타 사항
대회 참가비 외에 여러가지 형태의 후원(상품/금전등)을 받으려고 합니다.
후원을 해주실 경우엔 저희가 소정의 상품으로 답례를 드릴 것이며 후기 및 방송등에서 후원내역을 말씀 드리도록 하겠습니다. (비공개 희망시 익명처리 합니다.)
모든 사용내역은 대회 후 결산으로 올리것이며 후원을 통하여 현장관람 및 참여자와 관계자 분들에게 최대한 즐거운 자리가 되도록 사용하겠습니다.
자세한 후원방식은 추후 공지로 적어두겠습니다.
이벤트 매치는 당일 현장에서 공개할 예정이며, 본선과는 다른 방식으로 진행하려 합니다. 실력만이 아닌 다른 요소도 중요한 매치가 될 것입니다. 많은 기대 바랍니다.
그 외에 피드백을 주시고 싶은 사항이 있으면 어떤 사항이든 괜찮으니 공식 트위터 (@GO4THETOP) 혹은 공식 이메일(989990gfc@gmail.com) 으로 보내주시기 바랍니다. 적극 수렴하겠습니다.
재정발 뒤 디디알 대회를 규모있게 하는건 한국에서 처음이고 희망하는 것과 현실적인 부분이 맞물리다 보니 여러모로 준비를 많이 하게 되는 대회입니다. 부족한 부분이 있을 수 있지만 최대한 줄여나갈 것이니 너그러운 양해와 관심 부탁드립니다. 한국 DDR 유저가 많이 늘어나고, 다같이 뛰는 즐거움을 즐겼으면 좋겠습니다.
이상, GO 4 THE TOP 1차공지였습니다.
다들 올 여름을 기대해주세요.

WARS: Dance Dance Revolution 20th Anniversary unofficial JAPAN SINGLE SCORE TOURNAMENT
2018-08-18 | Round 1 Fuchu honmachi, 1 Chome-13-番3号, Honmachi, Fuchu, 183-0027, Japan
About WARS
16回目。「WARS」単品だと17年目になるんですか。
物事は5年経ったら取り巻く環境的にも継続が難しくなっていくものの、
昨今のゲーセン事情を考えたら尚更と思うのですが、
ありがたい事に「殆ど何も変えずに」続けることが出来ております。
関係各位に感謝致します。
毎回毎回「よく続いてるなあ」なんて事書いてると思うんですが、
今回はちょっと昔の話からしようかと思います。
「WARS」
開始当時にアメリカの同時多発テロが起きて世界で戦争始めちゃったもんだから、
「大会名不謹慎じゃない？」なんて話し合いが起きたのも良い思い出です。
（結局何も対応せずにそのままやったんですが）
この大会の大元は、今回同時開催されるPSSPという大会です。
2000年にいろいろ大きくやりすぎてPSSPは運営的に大きな失敗をします。
総合大会は難しいんだな、という所にぶち当たった結果、
「スコアラーの為のシンプルな大会がやりたい、俺ほらスコアラーだし」
ということでとにかくシンプルな形式にしたのがWARSでした。
隣のヤツぶっ倒したら勝ち。
冷静に考えてこのルールだからってんで「戦争みたいなもんやろ」という理由だけで、
この大会名付けたの安直すぎたわって今正直思ってます。当たり前だ。
お前は戦争を単純に考えすぎだってツッコミが今思うとあるんですが、
定着したもんはしゃーないなーという感じで今でも変更しておりません。
あんま難しいこと考えずにやれたのが良かったのかもしれないですね。
「WARS」
隣に人が居るからこそ、起こる事が沢山あります。
オンラインじゃ起きないような事が沢山あります。
DDRのスコアで「勝った奴」と「負けた奴」が決まるだけの事に、
いろいろな感情が交差する瞬間を目で見て空気で感じれるのがWARSです。
1平方メートルのパネル上に押し込まれた気合をその場で感じれる、それがWARSです。
我々が積み上げてきた17年目、
DDRが積み上げてきた20年目の夏に何が起こるのか。
是非、見に来てください。そして良かったら参加してください。
その日、その場所の最強を決めるWARS。
正しく勝ちに。正しく負けに。
勝者の笑顔と、敗者の笑顔を見に。
20年目、16回目の”最強”を決める戦場。 “最強”を決める場所にて、皆様をお待ちしております。
WARS. 主催 : YsK439 (Fumiaki Ito) / @ysk439

2003年8月23日、WARS FINAL。
僕がDDRというゲームを始めてから初めての大会でした。
そこから15年。気付けばその初めて参加した大会の共同主催として、こうしてコメントを書いています。
先日のKACでは解説という大役を任せていただいたり、
世の中本当に何がどうなるんだかわかったもんじゃないなと思っています。
不思議な縁には、いつも感謝しきりです。
さて、今回はメモリアル的な開催ということもあり、いつもとルールが若干変わっています。
先日行われた「TWO DECADES OF 5KEYS」リスペクトで、
大会の進行とともに歴史を辿っていく課題曲設定としました。
ですが、基本的に横を殴り倒せば次に進める、というスタイルは変わっていません。
シンプルでわかりやすい、そんなルールがこの大会の良さだと思っている次第です。
変わったもの、変わらないもの。
僕にとっての15年、そして、このゲームにとっての20年。
常識は何度だって滅ぼせばいい。
ゲームが続く限り、あたらしい世界がまた生まれてくるから。
「みんながこの場所に来るのを、ずっと待ってます」
KAC2013で発したこの言葉は、そのまま僕の中に残っています。
そして、これからも残り続けていくでしょう。
次に託す、その日が来るまで。
20年目、16回目の”最強”を決める戦場。
その”最強”を決める場所にて、皆様をお待ちしております。

PERFECT STEP SOUND PARTY 2018 THE LAST CONTEST
2018-08-19 | Round 1 Fuchu honmachi, 1 Chome-13-番3号, Honmachi, Fuchu, 183-0027, Japan
20th Anniversary – Dance Dance Revolution.
「お前20年やっちまったぞ、ガンシューですら7年ぐらいだったのに。」
20年前の自分にそんな話をしたらどう思うでしょうね。
前回の書き出しでもこんな話をしましたが、果たしてあれから4年が経ちました。
—-この間に本当は100行以上の文章があった—-
上の消えてる所、深夜に数時間かけて１度書いたんですが、
余りにも長いので、起きて今書き直してます。
ここで「20年だぞ！！！！！！！！！！」って長々書いても野暮だなと、
思い直して簡潔にまとめようと思います。
って書いたら結局全然簡潔じゃなかった。ごめんな。許して。
一つだけ、謝辞を。
この大会は、厳密には20周年前に行われます。
DDRの正式稼働は1998年9月、と記録ではなっています。
が、僕が踏んだのは池袋のロケーションテストで、8月でした。
この大会が行われる日付の20年前にはプレイしていたことになります。
今回この厳密ではない20周年の大会を8月に行うのは、
僕のエゴでしかありません。
それを通すぐらい、僕にとって、
誰も居なかったロケーションテスト初日に意味があったんです。
あの日の6プレイ、1200円がその後の人生を変えるなんて誰も思わないじゃないですか。
誰もやってないからと、ステージの上でポケットに手を突っ込みながら、
パネルを踏みっぱなしにしても良いことに気づかず、踏むたびに真ん中の銀盤に足を戻していた少年が、
その後、そこで知り合った多くの人間と今もまだ一緒に遊んでいて、
その事自体を20年も繰り返すなんて、誰が想像したかって話ですよ。
だから僕にとってのDDRの稼働日は「1998年8月」なんです。
この事だけ、どうかご容赦下さい。
DDRってゲームは僕にとっては8月の夏のゲームなんです。
「あの暑い夏に皆と会った」ゲームなんです。
だから、「8月のあの暑い夏」に祝ってやりたいんです。
開催理由はこんな所で良いかと思います。
文章読むより来てもらったほうが早いんですよ。
一緒に祝いませんか。あいつの成人式。
昔やってた人、今やってる人。
このゲームのお世話になった人。
可能ならこのゲーム作ってる人、作ってた人にも是非来てほしい。
この文章見てるか解んないけど。
思いっきり「あんたたちのせいだよ！！！ありがとう！！！」ってお礼が言いたい。
どんなにゲーム上手くったって、楽しんでる奴には敵わない。
これは詭弁じゃなくて何時になっても変わらない。
僕の短いゲーム人生で、直ぐに断言できるようになった事の一つです。
折角の20周年、この暑い夏に、皆さんで「最興」になりに来て下さい。
20年間、踏み続けたあの舞台で遊びに、そして遊んでる奴の笑顔を見に。
さあ、「Dance Dance Revolution」で、遊びましょう。
府中本町の、皆が20年間愛したアイツの前でお待ちしております。
Perfect Step Sound Party 主催 : YsK439 (Fumiaki Ito) / @ysk439

2003年8月24日、Perfect Step Sound Party 2003。
http://www.gamersnest.com/rca/pssp2003/about.html大会のページがまだ残っていたので、この大会の興りについてはこちらを参照してください。
あの日に見たMAX300のパフォーマンスがあまりにも衝撃的で、
「このゲームはこんなにも楽しく遊べるんだ」と驚いた記憶があります。
今思えば、「ゲームってこんなに面白いんだ」って気付いたのはあの日だったかもしれません。
あの日、あの場所にいて、15年後こうして今度はイベントを開催する側に居る。
じゃあ、自分には何が出来るだろうか？
そりゃ、「このゲームこんなに面白いんだぜ」って来てくれた人に思いっきり伝えることっしょ。
そんな気持ちで、今回のPSSPの準備をしています。
今回はDDR20周年ということもあり、多数のゲストの方をお招きしようと奔走しているところなのですが、
その中で二人、どうしても出て欲しいとお願いをした人がいました。
一人には、「もう一度、あんたが楽しそうに踊ってる所が見たいんだ」と。
もう一人には、「今、あの時の続きが見たいんだ」と。
無理は言えないので出てくれるかはわからないですが、気持ちが伝わっていればいいな、とこっそりここに書き記しておきます。
そして、そんなお願いをするほど、僕はこのゲームが好きで、もっと盛り上げたいんだなぁ、
と、自分のことながら笑ってしまいました。
楽しいって、いいよね。
「楽しんでいるやつが最強だとも思う、それだけはどうか、忘れないで。」
“最興”を決める場所にて、皆様と遊べることを楽しみにしています。

2018-08-24 09:00 - 2018-08-26 20:00 (America/New_York) | Igloo Arcade, Chino Hills, CA, United States
Facebook Event PageThere will be both a lower division and upper division. We will be using a PIU Prime 2 LX cabinet to hold the tournament, so it’s best to familiarize yourself with Prime 2 in general.
Male spectators are allowed IF they are a significant other or spouse of a participant. Due to space, we have to limit the amount of spectators. However, this will be live streamed on Seth’s official Twitch, which can be found at: http://www.twitch.tv/happyf333tz
::QUALIFIERS::
There will be 4 songs that each girl must play prior to the tournament. These will consist of 2 singles charts and 2 doubles charts, from both lower and upper division levels. No need to fear! If you are unable to pass some of the songs, THAT IS OKAY. This is more of an interest commitment for girls as well as a way to gauge your level of skill.
LOWER:
Violet Perfume S14
Imprinting D12
UPPER:
Bad End Night S19
Bad Apple D21
MUST BE PLAYED ON HJ. DUE MAY 31ST 11:59PM PST.
::FORMAT::
Every girl will have a 60 minute set consisting of Prime 1 and Prime 2 singles and doubles charts (note: this may change to 2 sets depending on number of girls and time). Shortcut, Remix, Freestyle, Routine, Co-Op, and Full songs not allowed. Scores will be calculated by adding total song scores. If we create a different point system that works better, that will be announced and added here.
Lower Division: Songs will consist of S10-S17 and D10-D17. All songs will be played on HJ.
Upper Division: Songs will consist of S18-S25 and D18-D26. All songs will be on EVENT MODE RANK MODE.
::HOUSE RULES::
{More details to come}
Use common sense and be respectful to those who live in the house.
We will be able to house individuals. HOWEVER, if you are allergic to cats, hate lizards, or don’t feel comfortable sleeping in the same house as male individuals who live here (note: there’s 3 of them), I recommend sharing an Airbnb in the area with other girls. Hotels are an option but do cost more than Airbnb options.
Nearest airports: Ontario (ONT), Santa Ana (SNA)
**If you’re an international guest, LAX is the only option for flights**
Please coordinate with either me or Seth so we can make sure people are able to have rides to and from the airport.
Thank you for your support and I hope to see you all be beastly baes~

Midwest Coast Stamina FA 3
2018-08-31 16:00 - 2018-09-03 16:00 (America/New_York) | Online
Qualifiers due July 15th, 2018This will be the third iteration of the Midwest Coast Stamina FA tournaments hosted by Ryan. Ryan and I (Kyle) will both be running this collaboratively, and for conveniences of many potential entrants, it will be hosted instead more toward the east coast this time at my own home.
There will be over $1000 in cash prizes given to the top 4 winners.
We will take the top 16 entrants for this event, similar to last time. You get seeded based on your cumulative ranking between the 2 qualifying songs. Here are your qualifying songs:
Crossroad (Cirque du Enzo) – must be played on FA+ or ECFA mode on SM5
Smashup (Stamina Showcase) – must be played on regular FA
Decents and way offs may be turned off for both songs
CMod, hide background, and hide mines allowed for both
Mirror is permitted
Slow rate mods are prohibited, faster are permitted
Here is the download for the qualifiers (offset set to ITG 9ms)

Spreadsheet for scores:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1heq8OsLbmHB8oHsC3z47pYWZyR3w1dZzUHulQYlAe1I/edit#gid=0
You may not submit previous scores from before this qualifier announcement.
– Total blues will be counted for Crossroad only.
– Smashup will be normal ITG scoring percentage.
– Qualifiers due July 15th, 2018
– Everyone who competed in ECS 6 automatically receive a qualifier ranking.
– There will be 16 competitors determined from the following ranking:
first by qualifier score then by place in ECS 6
– If you competed in ECS 6 but don’t play the qualifier, you qualify below everyone who did play the qualifier and below anyone who placed higher than you in ECS 6
Events:
Just like MWCSFA 1 and 2, there will be 2 individual sets with time slots chosen in order of qualifications ranking and a 1v1 portion, only this time it will be using a swiss format.. We will also try to incorporate a PIU side tournament for stamina (no qualifying score required).
The packs for the events will be released within a week of qualifiers ending. Expect it to be very similar to ECS 6.5/MWCSFA2 with modifications.
Stamina FA+ 1v1
Similarly to ECFA, this will be a swiss 1v1 with a top 16. If we do not get an even number appropriate to swiss, this will be changed to double elimination
– The event will be 1v1 using the Swiss format
– It will be on FA+ or ECFA mode on SM5
– Swiss format;; in this format, there will be 4 rounds which all players will compete against another player of the same win/loss ratio
– During later rounds, players will never play the same person twice.
– For example, after the first round, everyone will be either 1 to 0 or 0 to 1.
– For the second round, the 0 to 1s will be assigned to play one another, while the 1 to 0s
will be assigned to play one another as well, all based on seeding.
– The same thing will happen for future rounds, being that people play each other with the same wins/losses.
– This format allows for players to never be eliminated, have the same amount of playing opportunity as everyone else, and never be stuck playing the same person twice.
– The higher seed will get choice of song protection, song veto, or side (more specifics below)
– The higher seed will choose first, then the lower seed will choose one of the remaining two options, and the third will fall back on the higher seed
– Song selection (vetoing and protection phase) will be based on card draw. 5 Cards will be drawn, 2 will be protected first (determined by who decides order), and 2 will be
eliminated (also determined by who decides order, one by each player, exactly like how storm and other big events are set up)
– The 5 songs will then be played in the order they are drawn, best 2 out of 3 the decide winner.
– I will allow 2 warm up songs (1 song chosen by each player) before each round starts (nothing that exceeds 2 and a half minutes).
– No mines is permitted
– Greats, Decents and way offs will be disabled unless players agree to have them on
– Hide background and mirror are permitted
– The packs consists of 12s to 17s, varying in BPMs ranging from 130 to 220ish
– You may use CMods for any song
-If we do not have the ability to do swiss, we will do double elimination.
-Scoring is 2 for blue, 1 for white, 0 for excellent, and -1 for each mine hit, roll/freeze dropped, or miss
Pure Stamina FA+
– You will be given a one hour time slot to get as many blue fantastics as you can.
– This will also be played on FA+ or ECFA mode on SM5
– You may hold the green button to back out and have your blue fantastics counted.
– Each song will only be allowed once.
– Just like 1v1, greats, way offs, and decents may be turned off.
– Faster rate mods permitted
FA Set Output
– Your 6 best scores in a single set are summed up to calculate your final score.
– Out of those 6 songs,
1 must be in the bpm range of [150-160)
1 must be in the bpm range of [160-170)
1 must be in the bpm range of [180-190)
1 must be in the bpm range of [190-200)
1 must be in the bpm range of [200-220)
The last song may be from any bpm range
– Your score calculation will be similar to MWCSFA2 FA Raw Output calculation.
– For reference:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Weyimnqyc3nbS5Jj1xiuUxKRraMP0GYHrkaMufj0OqY/edit#gid=1456700467
– Percentage is exponential. For example:
If you get 99.00% you will get around 90% of total possible points for a given song.
If you get 95.00% you will get around 60% of total possible points for a given song.
If you get 90.00% you will get around 30% of total possible points for a given song.
Pump Raw Output
– This is a side tournament with Pump it Up.
– It follows the exact same rules and scoring as the ECS Raw Output sets but played on Pump it Up 5 panel.
– Will update this with more info later.
Overall winner
– Overall Midwest Coast Stamina FA 3 champion will be determined from all of the ITG tournaments.
– There will be prizes for top 4, including trophies and cash
– Placing is determined by the lowest total rank from the 3 ITG tournaments. e.g. 1st + 4th + 3rd = 8 points.
– Tie breakers are as follows in order of resolution: your best rank in any tournament, most number of the best ranks, least worst rank, fewest worst ranks, placement in double elimination.
e.g.
P1 ranks 1st, 1st, 3rd
P2 ranks 2nd, 1st, 2nd
P1 would win overall.

Valkyrie Dimension - GIRLS' DDR A REMOTE TOURNAMENT Fall 2018
2018-09-14 08:00 - 2018-10-21 17:00 (America/New_York) | Online
Facebook Event Page
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 September 14th and October 21st 2018. 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9月14日〜10月21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。

Song choices for each round:

– 14 to 17 for the second round
– 15 to 18 for the third round
– 16-19 for the fourth round if applicable
– Round Robin 17+
If there are less than four rounds due to attendance, this will be shortened accordingly, eliminating the easier song choice ranges.
Any options that don’t include mirror or random are allowed, including excessive, lane colors, judgment position, etc.
A person is allowed any song that they are able to choose provided it lands in the difficulty range of that round. Any song that any player has unlocked can be chosen; if one person has less songs unlocked but wants to choose a song the other person has unlocked, they may do so.
Final four is round robin format, 3 out of 5 for each round. Top seed gets either song choices (first/fourth or second/third) or machine choice. Format is subject to change based on time.

Tie results in TO card draw of one song
If card draw set includes a song from the BEMANI SUMMER GREETINGS or more recent, a player can veto the set. Player MUST be informed without seeing the set. Songs include but not limited to:
Life is Beautiful
Puberty Dysthymia
Rejoin
Super Summer Sale
風鈴花火
星座が恋した瞬間を。
Prey
Turn mods allowed
Any pad issues and arbitration MUST be called during your song. TOs will keep a close eye in case of persisting issues. IF no observable issues arise for the rest of the match, the tournament will resume.
If pad issues interfere with a match’s results, a rematch of the same song with both players switching sides may be allowed at TO’s discretion.
Rematches will only be allowed if the EX score difference is within 0-10 EX points and there is an obvious pad issue.
Once the next song is selected, the previous song’s results are recorded. No retroactive arbitration is allowed.
Highest EX score wins.
Players MUST play through their song. Pretending to fail out will result in an automatic LOSS for the song.
TO is allowed to call the end of the song early if a player stops playing midway.
But if they’re about to set a WR just let them do it, it’s kinda hype.
PIU
Seeds are determined based on the total score of both qualifiers (additive).
The tournament will use a double elimination bracket.
Bar use is allowed at all times.
The following mods are forced: HJ, BGA DARK
Any other mods may be used that don’t interfere with the other player’s playfield. No Swords.
Each round will be played using the card draw system. 5 songs in the selected level range will be generated, and each player will veto one song. The remaining 3 songs will be played in the order they are listed (unless the players agree on a different order)
All matches for Top 8 and later will exclusively use Doubles songs. All prior matches will exclusively use Singles songs.
The final match (Grand Finals) will consist of 5 songs, with each player alternating song picks. If necessary, the final song will be random, with a 3 song-set generated and each player vetoing one song.
For doubles, each player will alternate going first (ex. If Player A plays first for song 1, Player B will play first for song 2, and Player A will go first again for the tiebreaker)
The higher seed will either be able to choose one of the following three options. The lower seed will get to choose from the remaining two, with the 3rd going to the higher seed.
Pad side (for singles) or play order (for doubles)
Song veto order (1st or 2nd)
Song protection order (1st or 2nd)
