After working on the songs last night here's my synopsis of how I'm going to do (no scores revealed ;P)
Thunderhorse: One of my better songs and I'm definitely improving at it on a daily basis. My sp path is pretty solid now but I keep making stupid mistakes I never did before. By next week I should have it down though
Carry On Wayward Son: Not one of my best songs and to be honest I'm pretty sure I've peaked on it. The parts that I can't hit right now, I don't see myself being able to do within a week.
Crazy On You: I <3 this song, I'm doing very well ranking-wise on it already and I know I can improve (that intro eats my soul). Which arises another question (below).
Six: Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, dontwannadontwanndontwanna(*pouts)... Did I mention I fucking hate this song? I'm doing the worst on this one guaranteed.
Twist - Laid To Rest - mute your tv, sound system, etc, no sound allowed.: Interesting twist but to be honest it doesn't seem to affect my playing at all. I didn't do as well as I normally do but I hadn't played the song in about a week and I only tried once.
My question: If we don't beat our current best scores (as submitted on the leaderboards) are we allowed to use those or do they have to be set during the contest?
This is shaping up to be rather fun and is putting quite a cool twist on all this, I look forward to participating in the future. I find it kinda' strange though that my first ever league is in AAA. |

Set during the contest. Otherwise, especially for this division, it just becomes a comparison of the actual scorehero leaderboard. That's no fun.....well..ok..it is not quite as much fun. |

Alright another question: Should I not submit any of the scores specifically for the league 'till after it's over, because I set a CoWS score that was better than my old one and submitted it but I still intend to use it for my contest score. |

Yeah if I improve any of my scores for the songs set for the contest, I'm just going to wait until the deadline is over then add them to my score total. If I don't improve I'll just use the best score I could achieve out of the week.
Honestly I probably won't try these songs until Friday/Saturday anyway =\ _________________

I'd say don't submit it until Monday, but that's Javman's call. Again, I could be getting ready to play a song like Thunderhorse but if I see that six people have, um, just FC'd it by looking at the song rankings, then I might not approach it the same way I was going to.
I think a better idea is to submit your second-best score from your practice runs online. Don't you think it'd be kind of a mind-fuck to whoever you're competing against? If I saw say, ES post a 365K on Six, knowing that it might be his second best score, I'd be pretty scared. _________________

Pretty sure the clock starts running from when Jav posted the songs. So for this first week everybody gets like an extra day as usually they'll be posted on Mondays, after the previous week's results are tabulated. |

Excellent. This is what will make the weekly results of this league intriguing. _________________
