Due to quite the demand of players who come to Aladdin's Castle in Maplewood, I've been brought to the need to run yet another tournament. Hopefully this time, we'll get more than 14 players although I'm not complaining. The rules are going to be a little different this time around in order to hopefully entice more people to enter:

Qualifying Round:
All players will be playing a predetermined song (which will be announced during registration) which will allow seeding for the tournament. All Modifiers are chosen by player and are allowed so long as they don't modify the number of arrows or direction (i.e. shuffle, cut). In the very unlikely case that we get more than 32 people registered, all who fall below the 32 line post qualifiers will be dropped with no refund.

Tournament Rules:
Double Elimination: Because of this, we're going to have to move quickly so please try to keep an eye on when you'll be up and plan to eat and such around this.

Perfect Attack: Unlike last tournament, the total number of perfects after all 3 songs will determine the winner for the round.

The Higher Seed will have choice of 1st Song and 3rd Song or 2nd Song and Side.

Mods: Here's where things get a little interesting. I will have an impartial judge pick a mod out of a hat and all players must abide by this mod for the ENTIRE ROUND. Players may then choose whatever mods they wish that will only apply to themselves (no mods that modify the number or placement of arrows again). During Semi-Final and Final rounds, 2 Mods will be chosen.

Pad Disputes: Now that I get a full month+ of testing on the pad, there shouldn't be much of a problem here though it still happens. Pad Disputes can only occur if the following are all true: Step(s) counted were below a Great, the step(s) would've resulted in a different winner, and if multiple steps are obviously pad misses (if it's only 1 or 2, it doesn't have to be obvious but anymore should show something). In the result of this, players will switch sides and replay the song.

Hat Mods:
1x (If picked with 1.5x in Semi-Finals/Finals, repicked)
1.5x (If picked with 1x in Semi-Finals/Finals, repicked)
Flat (If picked with Vivid in Semi-Finals/Finals, repicked)
