Hey anyone know the location/dates for the next DDR tournament? If anyone has any information let me know thanks.

I haven't heard anything on the administrative side of things.
This tournament is a joke. (But we all knew that, right?)

just wondering if anyone has heard anything about round 2 yet

To those who won 3rd, 2nd, and 1st place at the Evergreen Lanes tournament: Your information has been submitted to Konami. They said they will contact you about round two. When and where will that be? I have no idea. But you guys SHOULD be good to go.

Edit: Here's two pics from the event.

She presumes correctly.

I will post as much information about this tournament as my attention span can muster. I might do it during a break in work tomorrow.

Edit: I'll scan the brackets and post a pic of it when I get around to it. Other than that, we had 8 entrants at this event:

Moses
Zach
Ron
Laura
Stephen
Crystal
Daegan
Shawn

8 people actually entered. Some of the earlier matches just weren't filmed, presumably because Suko wanted to save battery and memory for the more exciting later matches.

It looks like 6 people showed up to Evergreen to enter in the tournament? That's only 2 less that what we had at Narrows.

Ya I feel like it was a great tourney too and it went by pretty smooth too. Great job suko. And we should all try to do a meet up with everyone that was there today to just have a fun time. Maybe play pool along with ddr and possibly bowl sometime

I am SO glad that somebody got me on film saying "I want to make him prance around like a little cowgirl."

I had a lot of fun today. The downside to being the perpetual tournament admin is that you never really get to play in tournaments - I'm so glad that I decided to enter this time. This tournament was awesome; thanks for running it!

Thanks to everyone who participated in the tournament. We had a good time and saw a few new faces too.

The winners were:

1st - Moses
2nd - Zach
3rd - Ron

I have images and videos that I'm still sorting through. For now you can check out my youtube playlist for the videos I took of the event. Images and other details will probably follow soon.

I don't really have a "tally" at the moment, but I'm hoping for a few people show up. I was debating whether or not I wanted to compete, but I think I'm going to leave it to everyone else this year.

I don't know if your tally includes me, but I've been persuaded to enter by the people who saw me accidentally win a fake match at the previous qualifier. I have no idea what I'm in for.

That's good to hear. I did intentionally use scotch tape to not leave any residue on the walls. I'm not a douche bag after all.

Yup they're still alive and kicking and shocking even the ones on the walls are still up. Which I think shows that daryl cares about us lol

No clue. My guess is somewhere between 5 and 10, but it could just be a handful of people for all I know.

Are the flyers still up on the machine?

Hey any idea how many people will be at the one at evergreen yet?

Can I still participate in this tournament even if I was in the top 3 for the other one? I'd hate to miss out....

Oh right I missed your line about not being able to. Sad day Well I challenge first place!

Ok, the Round 1 qualifier at Evergreen is a little over a week away and I'm sure some people would be interested in the rules for this thing. The original post containing the tournament times, address, etc can be found here:

Rules:
I adapted the rules that Jon used in his tournament for this one. This will keep everything standard and provide a balanced playing field.

Here's the low-down on how it'll work.

- It will be double elimination, with each group (youth, teen, adults) getting their own division.

- There will be index cards with a list of 6 songs on them. There will be one card for each tier. One pre-determined song on the list will be used as the first song played for all matches within that tier. The remaining 5 songs are selectable by the players for their matches.

- The loser of the first song gets to chose the second song. The other player gets to chose the third song if it's needed.

- If there is a tie, a fourth song will be played by choosing RANDOM. If the song is a difficulty of 10, it will be disregarded and RANDOM will be chosen again.

- Each tier will get a different card with a new list of 6 songs.

- Since we're playing on a DDR Extreme cab, which has a weighted scoring system, I will be determining the score using the following score method:

Perfect = 2 Points
Great = 1 Point
Good = 0 Points
Boo = -4 Points
Miss = -8 Points
OK = 6 Points
NG = 0 Points

If you don't understand any of this, don't worry, it probably won't affect you.

*If you got 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place at Jon's tournament, you're not eligible to compete in this event.

*If you are under 18, PLEASE don't forget to bring your parental consent form. I don't want to have to turn you away because you didn't fill it out.

Did I forget anything? If so, just ask and I'll answer if I can.

i'll be there.

IF YOU REGISTERED FOR TOMORROW'S TOURNAMENT:

Either:
1) Post a reply in this thread, or
2) Email jonathan@pnwbemani.net

I do not have ANY idea how many people will be showing up tomorrow, so if you're planning on going, let me know.

Noon, tomorrow: 9/25, Narrows Bowl

you got that email too?  that stuff is too damn confusing.  a simple confirmation page saying 'you're registered for the narrows/evergreen qualifier.  show up on XX/XX/2010 and blah blah blah" would've been a better indication that you're registered than their fancy wording.

That's because it is.

I will be posting my "rules" on how this thing will be run sometime before the tournament. I wouldn't worry about it much though, since I'm not expecting a huge crowd to show up for this thing....unless they're from Canada.

i'm in, but wow, i just tried to read through everything on that site and to me, it just seemed all cluster F'ED!

as expected from konami?
