Full rules can be found by visiting THIS LINK. All rules in this thread are shortened to prevent TL

R-ism. Please visit full rule links for any additional clarification.

Please register for tournament in the DDR Encore forum, under the sporktoberfest section. The more registrations we have, the better the prizes can/will be.

Official Master Rules

Basically here is the lowdown to our master rules:

* HAVE FUN! Give your fellow players the same respect you expect of them and be fair and honest to one another.
* As the player or a spectator please listen to the tournament officals in order to make sure everyone's experience at Sporktoberfest is the best. Also be sure to obey the rules of the house.
* No Gambling on the outcome of matches please!
* Don't be late for your matches.
* No match concessions
* You can leave at any time, but we will be very sad if you leave early.
* Dress appropriately, wear good shoes for the dance games, and no guns, knifes, swords, maces, alochol, drugs, tobacco product, weapons of mass destruction, or spam.
* Cheaters and unsportsmanlike persons will be removed... period!

Official Dance Dance Revolution Heavy Singles Rules

This set of rules covers the main event, DDR Heavy Singles. This is probably your main reason for attending Sporktoberfest so be sure to carefully check these rules out!

* Double elimination with pre-qualification
* 64 Players max into the main event
* All songs are on Heavy Singles
* Qualification song to be announced
* Matches are best 2 out of 3 with players taking turns choosing songs and third song will be on randomly selecting any DDR Encore song and you can't pick the same song twice!
* Scoring is Perfects 2 points, Greats 1 points, Goods 0 points, Boos -2 Points, Misses -6 points, and O.K.s 2 points. Highest score wins.
* Bar hugging is okay and we will acknowledge all pad repair requests

Standard and Double Tournaments will also be present. Additional tournaments such as "Super Smash Brothers" and "Rock Band" have a high chance of also being available.

I never went on a plane before, so I dunno what it costs to get to Colorado Springs if you're taking off from Southwest Florida Intl. Airport. Know anything, Spork?

Spork! · 02-27-2009, 03:42 PM

Flying into Colorado Springs would cost just a tad bit more expensive than to fly into Denver, which is roughly 70 Miles north.

Current Expedia flights from Ft. Myers, FL - Colorado Springs are around $300 RT for the 16th-19th right now, and through Denver instead you can grab them for around $150, which is half the price.
I don't know if this is the right airport (I've flown into 2 different ones down there, so no clue which one you meant xD)

As for a ride from Denver, if there are enough people coming in on Friday night, I can provide transportation for about 4 people in my car, and I'm sure my friend Devin can fit 4 or so more in his car. Hopefully people'll return on Monday (make it easier for transportation needs).

tl:dr ver.: Fly into Denver. It's an hour drive past there, but worth it for the money you'd save. NO GEICO PUNS INTENDED.

I'm working on hotels right now too, I think I can find a nice discounted hotel for folks if they need it.

Go to "Airfare Watchdog", and keep an eye open. I'm sure we'll find you a real cheap and reasonable ticket :-D

On a side note we are taking a general survey of all dance game players that will better help us plan for this tournament. I would like to encourage anyone and everyone to participate. You can find the survey on the Sporktoberfest minisite on the Encore.

Hey everyone, while I am wasting most of my nights away to build the new theme for Sporktoberfest and the next year of DDR Encore. I almost forgot I have to get the Freestyling DDR contest started. So here is the dig head for the Freestyle Contest Page for instructions and a form to fill out to submit your entry video. The prize for this contest is a $50 Walmart Shop Card and a DDR Encore Sporktoberfest T-shirt and the video will be showcased at Sporktoberfest. So show some moves!

Today I'd like to announce that we have started our own raffle for raising additional prize funds for the tournament. For details please visit the site where you can learn how to win a collection of the first ten Dancemania CD's and Dancemania Delux3

UPDATE! By the ways I would announce that there will be a guaranteed $500 in prizes at our event! If we get a full house (64 or more players in the main event). These prizes will be even more bigger! Also there are several great prizes in wait for the winner of the Standard/Difficult Touranment (including DDR X bundles). There are also going to be several door prizes and more!!!

myst_trainer · 09-15-2009, 11:08 PM

Okay here is the new announcement. Pre-registration is now online. Simply head for the official mini-site where you can fill out a form online telling us who you are what you want to play and what not. This will get you through the line faster come October 17th where all you have to do is just pay your entry fees and boom you are in. Also please be aware that if you pre-register now that you will be entered to win our first door prize. Once again details on the site:

Bit of updates in reguards to the tournament. First off our first raffle is almost done. In case you have not heard we are raising prize funds for our event and to help with that we are raffling off a collection of Dancemania CDs (11 of them to be exact) head to DDREncore.com to check that out.

Also there is only about two weeks left to enter my Freestyling Youtube Video Contest. Right now I don't have any entries yet but I do know of people working on a video. Nevertheless I want everyone across the net being able to take part in this contest.

Registrations are filling in quick already. Remember while we are not capping the event (unlike some other supposedly big tournament *cough cough*) we do have a 64 player cut (for our expert singles event) after the qualifier. We recommend taking the time to visit the site to register to let us know you are coming. Registering means less wait time in the line to get in because we will have all of your information already. You just pay the entry fees and get in.

Don't forget as well you can enter a doubles tournament and a Beatmania IIDX 16th Style Empress tournament as well. All of this and more at the official Sporktoberfest minisite!

Myst's Freestyling Contest almost concluded...

Myst here. Well my freestyle video contest is almost done and I still have had no entries! It's almost over and I have had no entries!!! Come on it's kinda sad really. Does anyone play freestyle anymore? Well I am not giving up yet as we all still have a little more time to send something in. Hurry before I just do something in your place!!! Remember to check out the rules before submitting an entry! You can win a $50 Walmart gift card!!

Haven't you PREREGISTERED yet?!
Okay the actual tournaments are less than two weeks away! If you are planning on coming you need to preregister at our [http://www.ddrencore.com/sproktoberfest-preregistration.html]site[/url]. It only takes a minute of your time and will avoid standing in a long slow line just to get in.
