IIDX Tournament?

[General_Norris]

Lately some people around where I live has picked up IIDX and I have been thinking of getting some kind of torunament done on CS versions to gather the community.

Now, I think I'm the best player around and I can't pass any 10s and most 9s (Kinda sad, isn't it?). Perhaps there will be one of two more players on a similar level around but I doubt it.

What's the best way of organizing it? I have thought about a swiss tournament with score to decide winner and choosing songs at random with the ? option.

Opinions anyone?

Surely that's a bit unfair, someone could get a real easy song. It should be based on best score per song, so get all the competitors to play the same song, and keep all their scores, then do a couple more songs, and total up the scores at the end. The highest number of points wins.

You may have to divide them into difficulty groups though :/

You could get everyone together and take a consensus to choose songs for each stage of the competition or something.

I guess I never really thought about how one would actually set up a 2dx tournament, I don't know anyone that would play in one if I tried to put one together, since as far as I know I'm the best player for a hundred miles or so in every direction

Lol, sorry if I was not being clear. Everyone would play the same song so nobody gets an easier song lol.

Those guys are used to tournaments since most of them are into the Pump scene or the otaku scene (Both merged in my area)

Well normally, as for song selection, you should choose popular songs that most players will like playing so that unfair advantages of playing certain songs over and over (lol@FaXX for me) just to get better at one song.

Each tier should have it's own song, or, better yet, 3 songs, since I don't get the feel it will be terribly large.

There is another way to choose songs. At DDR tournaments I've been to. They choose 3 or 4 Random songs on heavy and they assign them to tiers, respectively. That way it's never biased.

I like doing this for IIDX tournys.

Each person picks one song. All players play each song picked. Players are ranked on each song by ex and given 8 points for a 1st, 6 for and 2nd, 3 for a 3rd and 1 for a 4th.

Its kinda like mario kart gp with the songs being each a race.
