比賽制度 Competition Format

為免產生中英對照出錯的情況，以下內容僅以英文撰寫，敬請原諒。

1. This competition consists of two parts: three rounds of the Swiss system tournament (4 players per match) and a knockout tournament (2 players per match) for the top 8 scorers.
2. Two songs are played in each match. The sum of the scores (combined score) determines how many points they get for the Swiss, or directly determines the winner of the knockout matches.
3. The score of each song is determined as follows:
   • Score = PERFECT × 3 + GREAT × 2 + GOOD × 1 + BAD × 0 + MISS × 0
4. For the Swiss tournament, the 4 players will gain 3, 2, 1, and 0 points respectively depending on the rank of their combined scores. For ties in the combined score, the tied players gain the mean of the points of the tying positions.
   • Example: if the combined scores are 6000, 6002, 6002 and 6004, their points will be 0, 1.5, 1.5 and 3.
   • Example 2: if the combined scores are 6000, 6000, 6000 and 6002, their points will be 1, 1, 1 and 3.
5. There is a song pool of 30 songs for the Swiss tournament and 14 songs for the knockout tournament. However, 3 of the songs in the knockout song pool are hidden to increase uncertainty and fun. These songs will be picked out for play in each match.
6. Competitors are allowed to play on only MASTER difficulty in both parts. The only exception is that in the knockout tournament, if both players’ game has APPEND difficulty for the song (i.e. both are using the JP version of the game), they may choose to play the APPEND difficulty if both of them agree. The same scoring system applies.
7. The management team may invite some players to have extra matches in case the rankings may not be clear.
8. The entire competition is live streamed from the competition room to the spectator room and to the public. You consent to live streaming your gameplay if you participate as a competitor.
