How it works (Event Breakdown):
Depending on how much interest/signups we get we'll split sign-ups into Classes. Each Class will be assigned a song with a pre-made .sm file set up for you. You will get two weeks to step and submit the song to FFR under the 'StepCon 2022' Batch. The batch will be made available at:
https://www.flashflashrevolution.com...mission/batch/
We will be taking sign-ups from now until March 31st, 11:59pm. On April 1st, you will find out which Class you are in, and the song that your Class will be stepping will be available to download privately. Submissions must be submitted by 11:59pm April 14th, 2022.
After the deadline, submissions will be converted and anonymously uploaded to a private FFR Engine for the public to openly play/test/preview, and public voting will commence for each Class on their favorite Stepfile from each Class (A separate thread will be made to accommodate voting across all Classes for this event).
Public voting will last one week, and finish at 11:59pm, April 21st, 2022. At that point, winners of each Class will be announced. If there is a tie between two or more submissions within a Class, they will be judged and the higher scoring submission will win.
Winners of each Class will be invited to compete against one another in a
'Final StepOff', where winners will be placed into a single Class, and everyone will be provided the same song to step (in the same fashion as the previous round). The
'Final StepOff' will last two weeks, and end at 11:59pm, May 5th 2022.
Public voting will commence again for the Final StepOff on May 6th 2022 for one week and end at 11:59pm, May 12th 2022. At that time, StepCon 2022's Champion will be declared, marking the end of StepCon 2022.

Some clarifications/rules:
-After sign-ups are finished, you will receive a Direct Message on FFR of which group you are in, along with a .zip file of everything you need to participate within your Class.
-After Direct Messages go out to all sign-ups (thread will be bumped with notification as such), you may swap Classes with another person in a different Class, but this can only be done ONCE between BOTH people involved, and may only happen within the first week (cutoff will be 11:59pm, April 8th 2022). If you are unable to obtain the original .zip provided for that Class after both people agreeing to a swap, contact me (gold stinger on FFR, Goldstinger#8592 on Discord).
-You
ARE ALLOWED to make cuts and edits to any song during the StepCon.
-You
MAY NOT collaborate with another Stepartist/Simfiler/sign-up/out-of-tournament individual.
-Submissions should meet Submission Rules requirements (listed here:
https://www.flashflashrevolution.com...d.php?t=145458 )
-You
ARE NOT allowed to solicit votes or reveal information regarding which submission is yours during the public voting process.
Doing so will result in immediate disqualification and ban from future StepCon's.
-As a participant, you
MAY NOT vote during public voting within your own Class.
YOU MAY vote in any other Classes of which you are not directly participating in.
-Songs submitted to the 'StepCon 2022' Batch that are not part of this event will be
automatically rejected. Please don't submit random songs to it. Spamming the batch may result in disciplinary action.
Added clarifications:
-Class placement is purely randomized. You will have a week to swap with another player (if willing) on the case RNG doesn't go your way, but notably this will not be an option for participants that reach the Final StepOff.
-All metadata, Simfile properties, and sync will be provided before-hand in the .sm file you receive during this event. You are more than welcome to change any of it to however you see fit, this is just to make the event more approachable for new Stepartists.
-Judges reserve the right to reject a winning file from going in-game due to incompleteness of a file in extreme situations (such-as, a joke dump file, only half of the file done and silence for the other half, 0/10-worthy files after judgment, etc.)
Final StepOff Prizes
Prizes (each Class)
*May add more prizes to Final StepOff in the future to spice up the prize pool for Final StepOff. Final StepOff prizes are added on top of Winner's prizes for each Class.
**At any time, event token winners may choose to either exchange a token for 20,000 credits, or provide the token unlock to any other individual, regardless of participation. Event tokens given away in this fashion that would allow for unlock of Strangeprogram v0 or vROFL, will not be allowed to unlock Strangeprogram v0 or vROFL.
