How will the Hard/Expert thing work out? Doesn't the person on the easier difficulty get an unfair advantage, or do both players have to agree on the difficulty?

I think he means that all songs chosen must be on hard or expert, and if you choose a song that has both difficulties, you choose which chart BOTH of you play.

ok i say this because if you have 2 players who arent the greatest and player 1 wins his song and player 2 chooses some 13, knowing both cant pass. it's dumb for player 2 to choose that song just to see if he can last longer than player 1.

if you ever even competed in most ITG tourney's they usually have that rule.

EDIT:
another example using joors. he wins his match against me and then i know he has 60% failing on bloodrush (just looked at your GS), a song that i dont always pass when i play it. so i pick it just to see who can last longer. say i do last longer, with a higher percentage, but also fail, why is that fair to you when i dont even pass it. tournaments are not about who can last longer in a song without failing.

I've competed in one ITG Tourney and it wasn't really any sponsored one or anything nor was there much of a prize. And..they didn't have that rule.

Anyways... I can understand your point for having such a rule, but also that score is from quite awhile ago, you can't always go from GS. :]

I .. honestly don't care if it's in place. But I would like to possibly pick determinator in the tournament which is a song I don't always pass but on average I do. and having the freedom to pick it and not have to lose the round by default is a nice thing. I'm sure there are other people that would like to have the freedom of picking songs they sometimes pass also.

Eh, whatever works. I have other songs I can pick from. I just thought I'd question it because I had never heard of the rule before.

Eh, I might go to watch, probably won't compete. Just don't see a point to paying the entry fee to be put out first round. But all in all it should shape up to be a good tourney.
