I'm just wondering about the whole process of judging.


Most contests are not anonymous. DDRExtreme.co.uk (Now DDREvolved) was the first to experiment with it, I think some nDDRo tourneys were like that, then Best Mix adopted it. However, it's gotten to the point where people know who did what for a good portion of the files anyway. So judges know who did what (for the most part) anyway.

But regardless of that, you just have to trust the judges they won't be biased. And in the whole history of simfile contests I've seen, I have never seen any serious bias in judging. There was a small concern about it years ago, which led to the first ever anonymous contest, but otherwise there's been no issues.


nDDRo ran the first ever anonymous contest. :)


Oops! I'll go edit. Which tourney was it, anyway? I can't remember. >_<

That was the DGJ Invitational, and I made the first anonymous Engrished readme ;)

Well, I guess it could be anonymous in who primarily made what level, right?

Oh, will it be the same rules as usual? ie; DDR only style, Banner, folder size, etc.

Nothing will be anonymous. :P

And yes, DDR style, and the rules will still be the same.

So you're saying that before we play a level we know exactly who made it?
What if one of us (or others in the group) want to do Doubles or another difficulty (BEG or ONI)? Would we still need to know who did those prior to judging, if extra points are awarded?

(I'm asking too many questions)

There will be no "extra points" for any of that stuff, just like it was this time. The points for tilt will be applicable for those charts, and tilt will be much more defined this time.

I'm not going to say, "Tell me everything all of your team did exactly."
It'd be nice if you put it in the readme though.
