Kyle Dobay (a.k.a RiOdO) is an influential figure in the competitive dance game scene, particularly with In The Groove (ITG). He is an experienced tournament organizer, founder of the East Coast FA tournament series and a top performer when he competes himself.
In this episode of the KrisCast, Kyle and I do a deep dive into the world of dance game competition from an organizer’s perspective. We discuss his methods for curating a fun, yet challenging song pack, score weights and their effect on tournament integrity, how practicing *less* can help your performance, and much more.
