EX Scoring System

This tournament will use the EX Scoring System as opposed to the traditional scoring ratio out of 1,000,000.

Each individual step will count towards a fixed amount of points, depending on the accuracy of that step.

Point Breakdown:

• Marvelous -> 3 points

• Perfect -> 2 points

• Great -> 1 point

• Everything else -> 0 points

• OK (from Freeze Arrows) -> 3 points

Modifiers

All modifiers present in DDR will be allowed, which include the following:

• Changing the scroll speed multiplier (fast or slower arrows) 

• Changing the note skin (different colors, default will be the "NOTE" theme)

• Lane cover setting (HIDDEN/SUDDEN+)

• Arrow placement (Mirror, Rotate left/right, Shuffle)

The following modifiers, however, are not permitted:

• Arrow Visibility

• Timing/Freeze/Jump Arrow Cut

• Check with us before you start if you want to make sure your settings are legal!

Participants will be given a minimum of one minute to manipulate their modifiers to the desired settings before gameplay starts

Double Elimination Bracket

This tournament will use a double elimination bracket format, where players are eliminated from the tournament after two losses.

This tournament will use a winner's bracket and a loser's bracket. 

The winners of each bracket will compete in the grand finals.

Number of Songs Per Round

Each round will consist of a single song randomly picked through an online generator.

However:

• The semi-finals will consist of two randomly selected songs, of which the EX Score performances on each song will be summed for each player to determine the winner of that match.

• The grand finals will consist of three randomly selected songs, of which the EX Score performances on each song will be summed for each player to determine the winner of that match.

Grace Period

Participants are given a two-minute grace period after being called to appear at the front to participate in their match.

Failure to appear within the two-minute grace period will constitute a forfeit/loss for that round.

Players who are participating in matches that take place within two matches after the current match will be notified in advance to be prepared to head to the stage.
