By the way Umineko was not a very good file IMO
edit: before you call me out for just being a DDR player/stepper who doesn't "get" ITG style, I've written a number of well regarded ITG style charts (incidentally so has jammitch!, the person who reviewed your chart) and your file is just sloppy and amateur.
For starters, you have a ridiculous amount of freeze arrow abuse. You have a ton of freezes that are too short to even count as freezes (since you can just tap them and get an OK), you have freezes where you've coded the end of the freeze so late that the following arrow graphically overlaps it even on 4x, and you just have a whole lot of freezes everywhere that have no point at all to them. If you think you need a freeze every time there's a sustained note in the music then think again, we're not playing o2jam here.
Your step placement is passable but boring (not that I should probably be talking there >_>), some of the rhythms are a bit questionable (random cyan arrow out of nowhere early on), a lot of the jumps are pretty pointless, and your song cut was terrible (goes on for too long then just randomly fades out). Also your song choice was pretty lousy in terms of steppability, I like the song but it's not DDR/ITG material.
So yeah, bad file even by ITG standards and if your buddies at r21 disagree then that speaks more of their standards / bad taste than it does of the quality of your file. But seeing as how I have yet to see anyone there who isn't an idiot, I don't really expect them to know what makes a good file either. Anyone can just put down steps in sequence that don't double-step, I wrote a program to do it once. That alone doesn't make your file good.
There's always one every competition, huh.
