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.
  2.4 Both instruments are leveled separately. You may not choose to play a higher or lower class.
  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 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.

Probably the most awful 80% i ever made !

Hello Krazyone. I think i've solved the problem. There's a new screenshot with the accuracy (82%) an the streak (26). 82%

Yeah man it is a great song if you wanna get yor alternate picking skills a massive upgrade. I guess picks are a matter of taste, I cant play fast things with light picks, the delay I get from the moment I move my hand to the moment the pick has finally slided off the string and played the note is too big for me. I use a 2.0 pick lol. Hard picks only for me!

 

At that speed i have a lack of coordination between both hands. I think the lighter pick helps to hide that issue.

normally i also use 2mm picks.

 

But it was good because this challenge made me increase my speed a lot. I should be able to play about 20% fastest than 2 weeks ago...

Final update as competition is now over great job everyone. Kaijin should be putting up the results and a new one shortly.

Did we not change the time to UTC/GMT 18:00 ?

Did we not change the time to UTC/GMT 18:00 ?

Yes the new rule is :

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

@@SrMouraSilva Welcome to the Championship. Everybody can play here.When you post a score from Learn a Song all Phrases of the song have to be at 100% difficulty (purple). Some of the phrases on your screenshot are still orange.

I screwed up the time conversion: so 18:00 ZULU = 10:00 PST?

 

Not for the record or anything though,

I thought I was, I noticed some time later I sent the picture.

 

Thanks for the tip! ^^

Thanks a lot richomat, I'm working 2 jobs at the same time and I just can't find any spare time to play guitar and come to the forum

 

I love the poll you made to select the songs for week 19 :D

 

If it's ok with all the other members, while I'm so busy, if you and Krazyone could give me a hand on managing the championship I would be much appreciated.

 

I don't remember if you have editor rights on the spreadsheet, but if you don't, just send me a pm with your email and I'll add you as editor, if you want, ofc.

 

I see that we keep getting new players every week and that's amazing, something that I wasn't used to, but I've always aspired to see one day.

 

Thanks to all that have joined and participate, I hope you like your time in the championship, I always love it :D

Tis is the first thing ive ever won in my life holy shit.... thanks man
