Da Rules

(Credit to the Ubi Forums for some Ideas!):

1. Anyone may join the contest as long as he's a forum member.

2. You can play "Score Attack" On Hard or "Learn a Song" with all sections mastered (all purple):

  2.1 There are three classes: Beginner, Intermediate and Masterclass.

  2.2 If you enter to the contest the first time, you choose your class.

  2.3 You are then leveled automatically as follows: 3x =>90% (3 weeks in a row) or 1x 98% qualifies you for the next class. If you score <=79% on a level two weeks in a row you are leveled down one class. You may choose to follow this rule or not we are very laid back on this rule as some songs are either easier or harder so if a given song in a class is too difficult for you please feel free to enter by playing the song you feel comfortable with.

  2.4 Both instruments are leveled separately. 

  2.5 You may only enter in one class per arrangement.

3. You may participate in all available arrangements

4. One Song is chosen for all Instruments and classes

5. Every Saturday new songs are chosen. From all participants of a class, one is chosen at random by Kaijn or fron.

  5.1 Every member should put the song he/she would choose in the Song Selection List

  5.2 Only 1 song per class will be selected and only custom DLC's with at least 1 arrangement for guitar and 1 arrangement for bass are allowed.

  5.3 You only need to change the song in the list if you are selected. If not, you can keep the same choice, or choose another, it's up to each one of you.

  5.4 On Saturday, if your name is picked and you didn't entered any song in the Song Selection List, another member will be chosen.

6. Starting with the publication of the songs, you may enter your score.

7. The scores are entered in the corresponding google doc: Leaderboard

Kaijin, Krazyone. richomat and afterdark take care of entering the scores.

8. You may post a screenshot to prove your score but you don't have to. If another competitor doubts the score you have to prove it with a screenshot. Otherwise your score is deleted.

9. Ranking is done by percentage first, then by Longest Streak.

  9.1 If you play LAS (Learn a Song), you percentage will be always, xx.00%, if you prefer SA (Score Attack), your percentage will always be xx.xx%.

10. You may submit mastermode scores, but these won't be judged for the contest. Although the best masterscore will be honored separately.

11. When you choose a custom song please specify the guitar arrangement you want to play.

  11.1 You may choose any song for your class as long as it's provided on the forums and has at least 1 arrangement for each instrument.

  11.2 Every song is up for discussion until Sunday around 23:00 UTC. If you think a song is to hard, please let us know in the thread, so we may discuss it.

  11.3 After Sunday 23:00 the songs are set and are not allowed to change.

12. The contest closes the next Saturday around 18:00 UTC

13. The winners are announced in the OP of the corresponding week's thread.

14. Rules may change without notice. So watch out.

Beginner: Green Day - Working Class Hero

Intermediate: Iron Maiden - Blood Brothers

Masterclass: Gun's & Roses - Sweet Child of Mine

@@Helderdje The secret to the beginner section is to treat it like barre chords except your single note playing them. Its E5 into B5 for the intro then C5 and then D5

 

Good one! that actually makes sense. thank you :)

I wish that Rocksmith made it easier to see these things but unfortunately its very difficult to tell with the way they set it up. Custom makers can help by setting this up but its still not easily readable. 

So gazing at the rules suggests I should lists songs.  If I don't mind being passed over and letting others choose the songs each week, is that alright or is it something that is frowned upon?  I think I'll learn more if I'm pushed out of my comfort zone.  That's easier to do when I'm not choosing songs =)

You do not have to pick any songs if you don't want to. I myself normally don't pick any songs unless there is a song I know I want to try and learn. Then I will add it to my section on the spreadsheet and hope it gets picked. There is no rule stating you have to pick a song we just give everyone the option so there is variety in the song selection. We don't always have to play the same genre and thats why we give the members the option.

I'd imagine it'd be a bit frustrating if too many opted not to select songs.  That's why I thought it might be frowned upon =)

The barre chords are actually E5 G5 C5 D5 not B5 sorry about that. That's what I get for not having a guitar in front of me when replying lol.

First go no RR erm should be able to 100% it I think if my hand would let me lol.

I miss the finger placement guides while playing a song a lot, sometimes I accidently notice them, but yeah. I wish they were more clear and used alot more.

You can do it smile i believe in you. Great scores to everyone keep em coming. @@Helderdje Please post a screen shot so i can add the streak don't worry about the %Leaderboard Updated

Last result on working class hero. I am not going to try to get any more. It will just make me go insane.  This song really learned me to relax my fingers and shoulder. And not to treat the hammer-on like it sad something bad about my mother.
