Tournament

I’m still not quite sure what to expect out of this tournament. The plan, of course, is to have a series of tournaments in semi-succession. Then we’ll take the top 3 or so simfiles from each tournament, and put together a pack, which will be separately ranked (similar to Rebirth). We will start ranking the songs as we add them, so at first there will only be 3 (maybe more or less) songs ranked.

I realize that the tournament has been kind of messy, in a sense. This first tournament was more or less to gauge what would happen in terms of how popular it was, how many people would enter, voting methods, and basically all of the rules. We decided to have voters to sign up to prevent repeat voters and careless voting. However, in future tournaments we may end up changing that. A system that I was toying around with was giving every user the ability to vote for every pool once per week. That may actually be what happens in future tournament.

Another thing that people may be curious about are the pools. The pools exist in order to make sure that voting occurs on a comparative level. That way every chart gets a fighting chance in its own pool. Someone can’t give a single chart a 5/5 and bombard the rest with 0′s. This is one of the reasons that I think it might be okay to allow everyone to vote without signing up.
