Details on CCK DM Match 1 + New rule

So with regards to the time people can make it, it would happen on both days, 30th and 31st of March to benefit everyone that can make it on these two days itself.

Level Limit Rule:

Song Limit Chart:

Actual SP VS 200SP difference ( Song lvl limit ) OR 300 SP diff ( Song lvl limit. )

1400 VS 1200 ( Lvl 85 and below ) OR 1100 ( Lvl 80 and below )
1300 VS 1100 ( Lvl 80 and below ) OR 1000 ( Lvl 75 and below )
1200 VS 1000 ( Lvl 75 and below ) OR 900 ( Lvl 70 and below )
1100 VS 900 ( Lvl 70 and below ) OR 800 ( Lvl 65 and below )
1000 VS 800 ( Lvl 65 and below ) OR 700 ( Lvl 60 and below )
900 VS 700 ( Lvl 60 and below ) OR 600 ( Lvl 55 and below )

Note:

All actual SP is rounded down to a whole number, SP digits ending with **80.xx will be rounded up to the next whole number.

E.g:

1170 is taken as a 1100 SP holder.
980 is taken as a 1000 SP holder

880 is taken as a 900 SP holder.

"Unreal" SP is being estimated to the next color zone point.

E.g :

900 without long and Non-stop is estimated as a 1000SP holder.
850 without long and Non-stop is estimated as a 900 SP holder.


For cases that individuals are having a SP higher than ( w/o Long and NS ):

895.xx
995.xx
1090.xx
1190.xx

It would be estimated a 2 color zone jump ( E.g 995.xx = 1.1k SP holder ) because its clear enough that after finishing every long and NS, the SP would be **80.xx and above for sure. ( Refer above for the **80.xx rounding up explanation. )


EXAMPLE

IF a group of 4 participants consists of:

1400SP player
1300SP player
1200SP player
1100SP player

Song limit for the 1.4ker would be lvl 80,
Song limit for 1.3ker would be lvl 80,
NO limit for the 1.2ker and 1.1ker ( Any songs inside the DM machine that they can DO WELL IN. )

WHY IS THERE SUCH A RULE??

The reason is to ensure that higher SP player is unable to choose high level songs to cause other lower level SP players to stage fail in order to win the friendly match.

Also, with a 200-300SP gap difference, the difference of abilities to do well in higher level songs is pretty obvious. This rule is enforced to ensure a higher level of fairness.


Something to take note of:

Participants please refer to the song limit chart and prepare 3 different songs and write it down clearly on a piece of paper.

- 1st choice song of ANY LEVEL you can do well in.


>> For a situation of ALL 3 opponents either match your SP/Within 100SP gap/higher than you.

- 2nd choice song under the level limit rule of 200SP gap ( Refer to chart for more information regarding the maximum level limit of songs you can choose )


>> For a situation of anyONE of the opponents who happen to be in the 200SP gap.

- 3rd choice song under the level limit rule of 300SP gap ( Refer to chart for more information regarding the maximum level limit of songs you can choose )


>> For a situation of anyONE of the opponents who happen to be in the 300SP gap.



So if in a situation of a person having 2 opponents who are 200SP lower and 300SP lower than you respectively, you will choose the song that is for the 300SP gap.

IMPORTANT:

Participants can request to play 2nd choice song and it would only happen if all opponents agree to it.

IF any participant is in a situation of 3rd choice song being choosen due to the 300SP gap difference, he/she can request to play the 2nd choice song he/she prepared with full agreement of all other opponents. Of course, the 1st choice song is NOT allowed in the request list.

HOW DOES THE MATCH SEQUENCE WORKS:

1. The "draw lots event" would start with the highest SP holder who is at CCK, and the next highest SP holder who is available for the match itself would draw for 3 more opponents for the 2nd match.

2. After knowing the opponents, the 4 involved participant would each show everyone the songs they have prepared and choose the valid song for the match itself.

3. Participants who feels that his/her opponents are good enough to handle their 2nd choice song can request for their self-prepared 2nd choice song to be played. ( Applies only when a 3rd choice song being chosen due to the 300SP gap situation. )

4. Match begins, participants' scores are taken down at the results screen at the end of each song. The participant with the highest score for the song itself gets 1 point.

5. Highest point = winner.

6. If there is a tie of points, highest TOTAL score of 4 songs = winner.

Inside the lot, the players' range would be 300SP higher/lower than you.

E.g: 1200 - 900 - 600

Finally, good luck to everyone on the match itself, its not totally about winning/losing, its more about more exposure to songs that u are good/weak in and also a friendly exchange of skills!

On the other hand, the GF friendly match will be held much later on, because it might be different from the way DM is being held.
