SMO "For Fun" Tournament [Concluded]

[JunkoXXX]

I have a list setup at the moment as well. Even though, I still think that the medium-hard charts come from "sharpnelstreamz". I also got to start practicing my timing again, lol I literally decided to take a break and play sunset overdrive, I finished the game, for a week. Lol GL 5 days till the tourney!

I will also say that there will be a skype call going on if you guys would like to talk so we won't have to spam the chat. If you would like to be in that call just pm me your skype name so i can add you.
Si hay gente que hablan espanol yo voy estar aqui con Jose para ver tradusir la chat con los resto de la gente que estan en este torneo

I translated the post above into spanish and japanese just in case they need it. (Google Translate)

Also, good idea Junko. Use skype for chat please.

Tournament is index party. I won't be on the tournament, have fun guys.

[SpoOkyGames]

So, it was pretty much a complete failure. However, all the entries had fun. A result is a result anyway. We learned from the experience. I will go into more depth in a bit. First, the results I managed to screenshot.



















































I want to give you ideas/results in case anyone else wants to make a tournament. Here is a list...

1: Make sure you are 100% decided on the song list before even setting a date.
2: Once difficulty/songs are decided, make your own specific pack for the tournament. ONLY load those songs for the tournament.
3: A warning system/DQ can help but, depending on how you do it, this is optional technically. But, I still recommend something. Rules and such are still important.
4: Try to limit your song list to 15 or as close as you can get to that. It took us 3 hours to get our stuff together and we skipped 5-10 songs...
5: A single room is not the best idea. It sort of works but, people will probably crash/disconnect a lot. Use different rooms if you can with not too many people. 16 seemed to be the max with minimal crashes/issues. 32 is just out of the question currently.

If I think of any more, I will edit this post. Otherwise, I would love to thank everyone that joined/took interest. I am pretty sure a tournament can work if done right. If you plan on hosting your own, please feel free to get advice from me.

Wow I actually did better than I have imagined!!!! Way to go me!

[tacchinotacchi]

F my age - seriously, the only world tournament of stepmania in months and i can't play because i was busy with my Fing family..
I'm really sorry i had to drop, the thing is related to me not being an adult an had to respect some shitty laws ... it's hard to explain.
I'll be happy to play the next, hope i can still join it after dropping this.

[JunkoXXX]

Tournament is over, there will be another one in a few months, its in planning right now

[SpoOkyGames]

There is? Who's planning it? I am not aware of it.

I will help them out though if needed.

@tacchinotacchi: Don't worry about it. Stuff happens.

~ SpoOkyMagician

[JunkoXXX]

I'm planing one from two months from today.

[SpoOkyGames]

Ah ok. I'll be glad to help if you need it. (if not, I might enter.)

Edit: Concluded so I am locking it.
