Announcement: The Positive Gaming Machine Dance European and World Championships 2009

We are excited to officially announce the details of the much anticipated Positive Gaming Machine Dance European and World Championships 2009 event!
This year's tournament will mark our biggest machine dance event ever and will be exciting for participants and spectators alike!

Positive Gaming is proud to be the main organizing entity and pleased to partner with Arrowdance and the Finnish Dance Gamer Association.

People can expect several new aspects for this year's event; items such as a brand new and exciting tournament system, called "King of the Hill" and a recently updated event facility that is four times bigger than what was used in 2008.

In addition to the multiple "In The Groove 2" arcade machines that will be used for tournament play, a 16-player Positive Gaming iDANCE Multiplayer system will be featured and will be available for use by players and spectators.

On Saturday evening, everyone will be able to enjoy a party in the castle room (the location of the 2008 event). The party will include concerts from Oscillator X and G-Powered as well as speeches featuring updates from members of Positive Gaming.

We look forward to have you there!

Please check the attached invitation document for all the details around this year's event:

In the meantime, you may make your wait until the end of July a bit easier by watching a prelude video about the EC/WC 2009, which was recorded at this year's FIBO trade show, where Positive Gaming iDANCE was introduced to the market in Germany for the first time.

Because i'm cool with the whith the whole KOTH system, but if you're revealing the list of songs that i can pick in each round, i'm maybe going to practice a total of 10 songs for this tournament. Please tell me I read the rules wrong.

There is a lengthy and very in depth discussion on the rules at the aaroninjapan forums, starting on page 9 of the EC/WC discussion topic: http://aaronin.jp/boards/viewtopic.php?t=5190&start=160

You can also discuss the rules here and as a part of the organizing team I can try to explain the system, the reasons behind it and also I will take any feedback from you guys to the rest of the organizers.

We have taken all player feedback seriously and discussed it thoroughly. Even though we still stand behind the King of the Hill tournament system we have been discussing and planning possible changes to the system used in this years EC and WC. I am posting now to let you know that it is possible that we will amend the system to please players unhappy with the current rules. Any official information on possible rules changes will be posted as soon as possible.
