SPECIAL SUMMER CAMPAIGN
2019-04-20 - 2019-06-30 | Online
SPECIAL SUMMER CAMPAIGN!!!
A Remote DDR Tournament Series

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT SPECIAL SUMMER CAMPAIGN
——————————-

Special Summer Campaign (SSC) is a remote divisional DanceDanceRevolution tournament series for all players of all skill levels to participate in. It’s intended as a tournament to be run during the summer, but with the imminent release of A20, I want to push this installment forward to conclude before the new mix is released.***

*NOTE* : The tournament organizers have decided to push the tournament back until A20 is released. Please keep up to date with us for start dates. Qualifiers will still be held on DDR A and will start February 9, and conclude March 23rd.

Okay, so…what exactly is SSC?
——————————-
-SSC is a round-based successive elimination tournament, split into three divisions (High, Mid, Low). The tournament is to be played on DDR A, no earlier mixes.

-There will be a qualifying period before the first round starts, and there is no limit to the number of people that can submit qualifiers. However, only a maximum of 200 will move on

-From there, your qualifying rank will determine what division you are placed in.

Division breakdown by capacity
——————————-
Rank 1-88 : High (top 44% of qualifiers)
Rank 89-152 : Mid (middle 32% of qualifiers)
Rank 153-200 : Low (bottom 24% of qualifiers)

-If less than 200 people qualify, the percentage rule will stay in place. For example, if 100 people enter, then High Division will have 44 entrants, Mid will have 32, and Low will have 24.

What is the tournament structure?
——————————-
-Qualifying begins Saturday, February 9, 2019 @ 12:00am Eastern and will run through Saturday, March 23, 2019 @ 11:59pm Eastern.

-The main tournament will start on *TBA*. This is to allow the tournament organizers to have time to manage tiebreakers, sort players, and determine the difficulty ranges that will be used

*Due to recent info about the projected release date of DDR A20, the main tournament is going to be pushed back until after its release. We will update when we have more info, but we are looking at late-May / early-June based on current projection.

-Qualifiers will be two songs. Each round will have two separate songs per division (effectively, six songs will be announced per round).

-The difficulty range per division will be determined based on qualifier scores.

-The main tournament will last 12 weeks, with six rounds lasting two weeks each. Every round will have a placement cutoff, which will be specified further down this post.

How does scoring work?
——————————-
-Cumulative EX score for qualifiers, and per round, will be used.

-During the qualifiers, you may play whatever difficulty you want to get the highest EX possible, but during the tiebreaker and rounds, you must play the difficulties specified.

Qualifiers:
——————————-

Scarlet Moon (DDR 2014)
2/5/9/12
EX Possible: 1266

冥 (Mei) (DDR X2)
3/7/11/16/18
EX Possible: 2220

TOTAL EX Possible: 3486

If the tiebreaker needs to be used after qualifiers end:

FLOWER [CHALLENGE]
15
EX Possible: 1845

———————————————————

NOTE: Score spreadsheet won’t be released until a couple weeks before the end of qualifiers.

How do I submit scores:
——————————-
There will be two proper ways to submit scores.

Google Submission Form (PREFERRED)
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSflZlwclcFzvCTBOvKCKgPAiVCZRBaEaIyj_koNKXiV9wQ_Iw/viewform

Twitter: DM scores to @SSCtourneys

-When submitting scores, please have your player name visible, along with the full song name, difficulty, and EX score. No exceptions.

-If playing while a machine is offline, we will be lenient with needing the player name shown, but make an effort to verify that you are in fact the one who got the score.

-If anyone is suspected of sandbagging to be placed in a lower division, you may be moved to a higher division, or disqualified, at the discretion of the organizers.

Elimination Structure per round
——————————-
The number of entrants shown to be eliminated per round is based on the tournament being full with 200 entrants. If there are less than 200, the % of remaining entrants per round will be eliminated as shown. There may be slight variations to the percentages based on the exact number of people per division, but regardless, there will always be 3 winners per division.

Eliminations will be as follows:

High (88 / 44% of qualifiers)

Round 1: 66 move on (elim. 20 / 23% of remaining)
Round 2: 48 move on (elim. 18 / 27% of remaining)
Round 3: 32 move on (elim. 16 / 33% of remaining)
Round 4: 16 move on (elim. 16 / 50% of remaining)
Round 5: 8 move on (elim. 8 / 50% of remaining)
Final: Top 3 winners

Mid (64 / 32% of qualifiers)

Round 1: 50 move on (elim. 16 / 25% of remaining)
Round 2: 38 move on (elim. 12 / 24% of remaining)
Round 3: 26 move on (elim. 12 / 32% of remaining)
Round 4: 16 move on (elim. 10 / 38% of remaining)
Round 5: 8 move on (elim. 8 / 50% of remaining)
Final: Top 3 winners

Low (48 / 24% of qualifiers)

Round 1: 36 move on (elim. 12 / 25% of remaining)
Round 2: 28 move on (elim. 10 / 22% of remaining)
Round 3: 20 move on (elim. 8 / 28% of remaining)
Round 4: 14 move on (elim. 6 / 30% of remaining)
Round 5: 8 move on (elim. 6 / 42% of remaining)
Final: Top 3 winners

Although we don’t anticipate an extremely low turnout, if the tournament organizers deem that there aren’t enough entrants to justify splitting into three divisions, then we will split into two divisions and adjust elimination % to appropriate levels.

Prizes???
——————————-
Top 3 in each division will receive trophies, and first place winners will also receive a tournament shirt.

Wait…there are shirts too???
——————————-
Yes! UberPrints will print high quality, custom shirts and tank tops for those of you who want to show your spirit. Right now there are a few options available, but hopefully more to come in the future! Maybe we will even have other kinds of merchandise available in the future…

If you have any other questions, please contact!

*Bracket Format:
• See the sample brackets for a Top 8, Top 16, or Top 32 tournament.
Qualifier Set:
• Spin the Disc (Heavy)
• B4U (B4 ZA BEAT MIX) (Heavy)
Qualifiers:
• One of these two Level-10 songs (Spin the Disc [Heavy] or B4U (B4 ZA BEAT MIX) [Heavy]) will be determined during the registration time block.
• Seeding is determined by EX Score.
• Players get at least one warm up song before performing the selected song during the registration time block.
• The cutoff for qualifiers will be the top 32 participants.
Tournament Format:
• The machine during the tournament event will be in event mode with EX scoring.
• Winner of a song is determined by the higher EX Score.
• During the tournament, all default and unlockable songs are allowed.
Song Modifiers:
• Freeze Arrow will be set to ON.
• Solo/Flat can only be used if BOTH players agree to it.
• Step chart difficulty is determined by the card draw.
*Tiebreaker Round(s):
• If a match outcome ends in a tie, a single-card draw will determine the song of the match. Higher seed (or from winner’s side) gets side preference. If the tiebreaker song results in a tie, then another tiebreaker song will be dealt. This process is repeated until there is no longer a tie.
Tournament Card Draw:
• Preferences Options (listed in order of operations):
– 1st Veto
– 2nd Veto
– Side Preference
• Players alternate selecting preference options, with the player with the higher seed or coming from the winner’s side selecting his or her preference option first.
Song Selection for a Match:
• Best-of-three (one):
– Five (three) cards will be randomly drawn, and the list of drawn songs will be shown to both players. Each player will veto a song from the list of drawn songs. The remaining song(s) will be played from top to bottom.
Miscellaneous Rules/Comments:
• Estimated start times of select rounds will be posted. PLEASE stay updated with the tournament bracket to know when you are needed for your match. For the best-of-one matches, be on deck if your match is next. There will be a 2-minute wait time for a player to report to the machine. If a player is not present within that time frame, the match will be played after the remaining matches in the round are completed. Repeat offenses will result in a loss/disqualification from the tournament.
• If you suspect there might be a malfunctioning arrow, play through the entire song. Stopping in the middle of a song due to misses is unacceptable and will definitively result in a loss of the song. The tournament organizer will adjust the score and/or test the pad (if justified and necessary). Continual unjustified complaints throughout the set will result in an automatic loss of the match.
• Please keep in mind the use of excessive heavy stomping. This damages the pads and thus hinders the tournament. The AO staff works hard at keeping their pads in good working condition and do final maintenance prior to the tournament.
• For any issues during the tournament, the tournament organizer will have final say.
*Subject to change to due to time constraints or unexpected circumstances.

We’re starting all over! We are bringing back our multi-music game tournament series to find out who is the best music gamer in Maryland!Game tournaments currently planned:
• beatmania IIDX
• DanceDanceRevolution
• jubeat
• pop’n music
Entry fee: $8 for one tournament, $5 for each additional tournament. All machines will be set to free play for the duration of the tournament, beginning with the announcement of qualifiers.
First, second, and third place winners of each tournament will receive 60%, 40%, and 20% of that tournament’s entry fees, respectively.
Best effort has been made to ensure all games are free of sensor malfunctions. Any report of sensor malfunction during tournament play will be handled at the sole discretion of the tournament organizer. We encourage everyone to arrive early to practice!
Once tournaments have begun, all participants are expected to remain available to play their respective matches. If an entrant is called by a tournament organizer and cannot be located, the tournament organizer reserves the right to forfeit the match due to absence. We understand that with multiple tournaments players will sometimes be indisposed and a best effort will be made to accommodate entrants who are present but unable to respond to a summons. Entrants are encouraged to approach the organizers for each tournament they are participating in individually if a situation arises where they expect to be temporarily unavailable.
GamePlay Music Masters 2 is an inclusive space and all entrants are expected to treat others with the same respect they would expect to be treated with. Harassment of others for any reason will not be tolerated and will result in immediate ejection from the premises and forfeiture of any tournament entry fees paid.

Hey!Welcome to the In The Groove Eurocup Online 2019 page!
This year the tournament will be held using a new online format.
What does that mean?
TLDR The tournament includes two major parts: offline qualifiers and an online real-time event. Qualifiers can be played on any machine you have access to, while for the actual event on 27-28 July a list of locations for European countries will be provided. Players will compete in precision and stamina.
The point of this event is both bringing together local players and establishing contacts between different European communities. We’re still accepting locations, so if your country is not in the list and you have a nice place for people to play — feel free to fill the form!
We’ll post more information concerning the tournament soon, so stay tuned!

ECFA 6 details:
August 2nd to 4th 2019
South Park, PA
Hard Fa, FA+, HS3
This event will be the 6th installment of the ECFA series, with the usual Hard FA and FA+ and newly added HS division. The 6th iteration will have a bit of a twist and some new ideas and flavor added to the mix that I’m excited to try!
As usual, the primary focus of the event is 4 panel ITG/SM5 emphasizing technical footwork and precise timing. The content provided will be of the highest quality and technicality available. The contents will be a combination of very new or unreleased content and content ranging from 2009 to 2018 that have stood the test of time in quality and play-ability.
ECFA has had a reputation for a serious, yet thoroughly enjoyable experience for everyone of all skill ranges. There will be other forms of entertainment provided, as well as prizes, trophies, awards, and food for guests and spectators. I am sincerely looking forward to all of your interests and hope to see everyone playing to their max potential for these qualifiers. Good luck!

Bae5cience 2: Rise of the Baes
2019-08-29 10:00 - 2019-09-01 20:00 (America/New_York) | Igloo Arcade, Chino Hills, CA, United States
Welcome to the official event page for Bae5cience 2, year two of an all girls Pump it Up tournament! This will be the place to find all the info you need for the tournament, as well as any updates as we get closer to the date. I have also created a channel in my discord specifically for Bae5cience where you can post qualifiers, ask questions, and discuss all things PIU. You can join here: https://discord.gg/S4evwJYThere will be both a lower division and upper division. We will be using a PIU LX cabinet running XX 20th Anniversary to hold the tournament, so it’s best to familiarize yourself with Prime 2 and XX!
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. This will be live streamed on my official Twitch channel, which can be found at: http://www.twitch.tv/mrsfiggies
::QUALIFIERS::
There will be 3 songs that each girl must play prior to the tournament. These will consist of 2 singles charts for lower division and 2 doubles charts for upper division. 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. If someone falls between lower and upper, she will be required to play both sets of qualifiers to ensure there is proper placement.
LOWER:
Cleaner S12
Csikos Post S13
Napalm S14
UPPER:
Red Swan D20
Love is a Danger Zone (Cranky Mix) D20
Renai Yuusha D20
MUST BE PLAYED ON HJ.
::FORMAT::
Every girl will have a 60 minute set consisting of songs from Prime 1, Prime 2, and XX. Shortcut, Remix, Freestyle, Routine, Co-Op, and Full songs not allowed. New format will have a full list of songs with points based on scoring. That list will be released one month prior to the tournament.
Lower Division: Songs will consist of S9-S16. All songs will be played on NJ.
Upper Division: Songs will consist of D17-D26. All songs will be on played on HJ.
::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. We have limited space so this will be a FIRST COME FIRST SERVE BASIS.
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~

Stamina Con
2019-09-06 12:00 - 2019-09-08 20:00 (America/New_York) | Best Western Plus Hotel & Conference Center, 5625 O'Donnell St
Let’s stream together.In the interest of making East Coast Stamina 8 not only a more enjoyable event for both regular attendees and competitors, but to expand the number of people who can compete, things are going to be bigger this year. In addition to us hopefully having at least six ITG setups, we’re working in partnership with Tokyo Attack who will be bringing the following games for spectators to enjoy casually and potentially compete on in side tournaments:
DANCERUSH STARDOM
CHUNITHM
maimai
SOUND VOLTEX (2 Cabinets)
pop’n music
jubeat (2 Cabinets)
DanceDanceRevolution
Pump it Up XX
Big thanks to Anthony Capobianco for helping to make that possible.
There’s also some other fun stuff planned that I can’t announce yet, but hopefully in the near future I’ll have more to say on that.
Stamina RPG 3, which functions both as its own tournament and as a qualifier for ECS8, will start on May 20th, immediately following the end of ECS7.5 (check that out if you haven’t already! Here’s a link: http://groovestats.com/ECS75/ ). The players who qualify in the top 24 by August 1st will have dedicated slots in ECS8– however, this year, there will also be a lower division where ideally we can get at least another 24 people slots to compete. More details on that as the event gets closer (and as I’m more able to gauge interest).
Registration for the event won’t go up until we’re a little closer, but badges will most likely be $30. The dates are 100% confirmed, however.
Thanks to everyone who has supported ECS over the years. I hope to see all of you in September, whether you’re competing or not!

Cyber Cypher #4 rules:

Cyber Cypher is open to everyone on Earth, regardless of region.
To enter, the competitor must record themselves performing a routine to any Dance Dance Revolution song. 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. (We highly recommend that the footage shows your full body and at least a partial glimpse of the game screen, so that the judges may better critique your performance.)
Competitors may submit more than one performance.
All performance videos may be uploaded online to a video hosting site (i.e., YouTube, Vimeo, Streamable) or emailed directly to FreestyleTakeover@gmail.com. A link to the upload must be provided to any of Freestyle Takeover’s social media channels using the hashtag #DDRFreestyle.
All performances must be recorded between 10/8/18 and 11/11/18, 12:01am PDT.
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 and costumes 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.)
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.

There will be slightly more emphasis on visual presentation, specifically your costume and its synergy with the routine

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 posted on the Freestyle Takeover website 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 may be subject to change at the discretion of Freestyle Takeover.
Prizes TBD.

After a very successful trial event with Silver City Summit last February, System Arcadia is coming back to Round 1 SCG in Taunton, Massachusetts this October for Feel The Beat!Feel The Beat is System Arcadia’s flagship tournament series similar to how 灼熱Summer Night is our flagship music show series. The aim is to run this event every Halloween weekend for years to come to offset The Big Deal which happens 5 months later. System Arcadia aims to be the biggest and best East Coast rhythm game event for the passionate company we support. With that said, let’s get to the details.
Dates
– Qualifiying time periods: Friday October 25th from 6 P.M. to Midnight & Saturday October 26th from 10 A.M. to 12:30 P.M.
– All tournaments start at 1 P.M. October 26th. DDR should roughly finish around 11 P.M.

– Registration page: https://bit.ly/30I1EuF
* NOTE: The two white cabinets will be used for the tournament. The gold cabinet will not be used for the following reasons.
1. It’s a J region machine meaning access to premium options is not possible aka no .25 or .75 speed mods.
2. Different screen means different sync from white cabinets.
3. There is only one gold cabinet versus two white cabinets and we wish to give everyone the same level playing field for the whole tournament.
