Format - 2 tournaments

Showmanship Challenge. This is single elimination, one song play. This will have prizes, but is considered to be more of the fun event! The ‘Showmanship award’ will go to the player that rocks the hardest flair, keeps the music going on any given setting and shows his skills by keeping his fingers moving, all while looking cool. Judging will be done, and swayed by crowd response. Scoring on flair, accuracy / notes hit, and appearance will determine the winner of this tournament. You can bring your own tricked out guitar. You can bring your own flair. You get to choose the song and difficulty…

..But will you rock?

Skill Competition, based on score. Pool play; so the top half scoring players advance, the second half proceed into the losers pool.

Rules - are currently TENTATIVE. What we are going with for now:

Songs will progress in difficulty, starting out with hard in the first few matches winners pool, and Expert in the final few matches.
Once the pools only have one in the winners pool, and one in the losers, both will compete on expert in the finals bracket.

If we have more than 32 people show up, we reserve the right to make the tournament single elimination.

Yes - you can sign up for one or the other, and not have to play in both.

WHY have 2 tournaments?

Having a “Style based tournament” or the Showmanship Challenge brings together both aspects of the game to this event - for people awesome at the game, they have the normal score based tournament. For people that dress up and look like a rock star, or just have that onstage charm - but not necessarily hitting all the notes on expert? The Showmanship Challenge lets you shine.

You a straight forward points machine? Then the Skill Competition is for you!

What should / could you bring? Beyond your entry fee, we highly encourage you to bring your own guitar, and your own set of headphones. Guitars will be there, but bringing your own guitars is encouraged, as the more controllers there are / won’t have to be shared, the quicker the tournament will move.

The Showmanship machine will be setup to maximize ‘performance’ and audience appeal. It will be set up differently than the Skills Challenge - with the sound actually playing out from the machine. However, for finals, the Skills Challenge will be on the projector!

Practice up, and get your costumes ready, you’ve got till January the 20th!
