Where: Round1 Southcenter 2351 Southcenter Mall, Seattle, Washington 98188

Hey! I’ll be running another no-bar tournament this May for the first time in a while. This time around, let’s go even older and more outdated with the ruleset ~
 

Format: double-elimination, Singles, & all competitors play on x1/no-bar/no-background-filter
To ensure background settings are correct, both E-amusement cards that will be used will be provided.

 
Qualifier for seeding: ANY 14-footer no-bar on x1 on Ace
Send me a picture of your arcade score--not EX. There’s no way for me to verify your mods unless you happen to make a video of your submission, so we’ll just use the honor system. All other mods outside of no-bar/x1 are okay for qualifying. Submissions will be due the day before the tournament.

Higher Seed: gets the upfront choice of either picking their fav side or picking who selects their song first

Matches: best 2 out of 3 with players choosing songs and a random tie-breaker if necessary

Valid Song Choices: any Expert/Challenge song is valid, but you must pass your own choice and you cannot choose the same song multiple times in the tournament

Tie-Breaker: I will generate a 3-song card draw of 10s-16s and each player can veto one song; difficulty range will change during Finals

 

Scoring Style: TBD (arcade or EX score depending on poll)

Scoring Bonus: if you choose to play with the Flat noteskin, +300 arcade score or +10 EX score

Prizes: will be revealed for finalists (have humble expectations)

Entry Fee: none

 

Misc additional info/FAQ

What if I get pad misses? All pad stuff will be ignored unless issues become rampant; we will try to use the better of the 2 cabs; higher seed players may choose the side they think is better.

What if I fail my choice after an opponent fails first? You lose the song.

What if I accidentally grab the bar? Let go as soon as you can. If you’re obviously depending on the bar for more than an accidental moment, you lose the song.

Can we choose the 20th Anniversary songs/modes that have the old version themes? If both players agree, then sure.

Can we do this on a different weekend? If a different date works better for more people, maybe. There's also a chance we'll have to move the event from Saturday morning to Sunday afternoon, depending on feedback from Round1 management.

No-bar 14s are too hard for me; should I bother qualifying? If you are interested in participating instead of just spectating, you should definitely attempt to no-bar a 14. Your qualifier submission will not need to be a passing score and you will have the next 1 ½ months to improve.

What happens if I don’t submit a qualifier score? You can still participate, but you’ll be automatically seeded in order of when you arrive at the tourney and below everyone who did make a submission.

Sounds like fun. I hope you have a good turnout. There seems to be so many people in the dance scene these days.it almost reminds me of the early 2000's. I just wish there was a DDR A up north so I could be more involved.

Maybe we'll get the rumored D&B in Lynnwood some day... Smiley


Unfortunately I have other plans already on this day that can't be moved, so I'll be missing out. Sad
