NGADM Round of 64 Results & Round of 32 Pairing 2017

Sup!

So the round of 64 has passed, and along with it so have half the contestants. Well... At least out of the competition; I sure hope they haven't passed away because of the disappointment :V

Even so they all brought something to the table, and fought bravely. As expected, the competition was intense, and there was even some very minor drama here and there in the forum (dare I say, as expected). There were some delays, and a few people had to drop out. In the end we got 61 tracks out of 64 possible, which isn't bad! Especially not considering the quality of them.

A special shoutout to Phonometrologist for scoring the highest points in the round, with a whopping 9.62 average!

No pressure in the coming round, hehhe ;)

Once again, huge thanks to all the organizers and judges, along with all who are donating to the prize pool! And of course, to all who participate. Keep up the strong game, and we'll enjoy seeing how far you can take your music in this ever more challenging deathmatch.

In all likelyhood you didn't come here to read my ongoing ramblling, so I'll give you the results forthright!

Congratulations to all the winners!

And huge props to all who made it this far. Once again, I hope that all of the discourse (be it in the forums, or elsewhere) remains civil. Hopefully, according to plan the judges will pop up with at least a few reviews for every track. Additionally, I'm sure they'd be happy to tell you their reasoning for the scores if you send the personal PM's, respectfully requesting such.

All that said, the contest is yet far from over. I wish all the remaining competitors the best of luck!!!
Get your A game on, and hopefully you'll be able to surpass not only your competitor, but more importantly, yourself.

I for one will very much enjoy seeing both the journey and the outcome of the NGADM 2017!

That's all for now, folks.

A very nicely written and well-apportioned post, my dear Scribe! Knowing just how much "fun" it was to deal with so many numerical values, I feel your pain. Nevertheless, you have once again delivered a very informative and attractive-looking post for the 2017 NGADM.

Many thanks to you! And while I am indeed sorry to you and SnowTeddy - not to mention so many other fantastic competitors - fall out of the running, it is always good to know that you will continue to make more informative posts such as this one. Your good sportsmanship is a model to us all, my friend! Carry on with the full knowledge that your team fought bravely and ended this year's journey on a truly valiant note.

LucidShadowDreamer 2017-07-17 16:02:15

Oh yes, I certainly hope I got everything (or at least the vast majority) right. The document helped a lot, though. Even so, it takes quite an effort to create a post of this kind, partly because of the restrictions of the NG news post format :D
Even so, I didn't disenjoy doing it! I was listening to a podcast while dealing with the pragmatic aspects, after all ^ ^

I'm glad you like the result! It is indeed a shame to see some of the great competitors go, but as much if not more, it'll be great to see the winners proceed even further. As for sportsmanship, I do believe that people could adopt a bit more of it in general, but to each their own. This years seems to have gone quite well so far, so I hope we'll continue on the same path.
Thank you for taking the extra time to read my post, along with writing a lovely comment :3

zybor 2017-07-17 16:12:06

good luck to all the winners! :D

LucidShadowDreamer 2017-07-17 16:12:06

Yes indeed, good luck to all! :D

SoulSecure 2017-07-17 16:24:01

Is it bad that I'm once again thankful to not make it further? I was not thinking straight or something when I decided to join the NGUAC at the same time as this contest.

LucidShadowDreamer 2017-07-17 16:24:01

If you feel you weren't ready to give it your all, it is not a bad thing to feel relief you don't have to continue not being able to give your all even more, because of too much going on. Right?
At the same time, it's a respectable effort and challenge to take on more than one tough competition!

I don't know much of what's going on in the NGUAC, but if you're still in, I hope you'll do well! Especially if you can devote some more time to it :D

steelside 2017-07-18 02:02:01

lol the link to my tracks wrong

LucidShadowDreamer 2017-07-18 02:02:01

Should be fixed now!

MrKoolTrix 2017-07-18 03:54:07

Good luck to everyone. :D

LucidShadowDreamer 2017-07-18 03:54:07

Good luck to everyone indeed ^___^

Phonometrologist 2017-07-18 08:31:09

Thank you the shoutout-- very surprised and honored to get that score. Although, as a spectator, I would have much rather have seen the match up between bassfiddlejones and garlagan together. The former NGADM champion of 2014 against the champion of 2015 sounds awesome and I screwed that up.
But maybe we will have that chance eventually now that garlagan is back in the fray, and I don't know how I'm going to reach the same level as I did before. I'm afraid of burning out.

LucidShadowDreamer 2017-07-18 08:31:09

A very well deserved score, if you ask me :)
While that matchup would be interesting indeed, it will be just as exciting to see how the round goes with the current line-up as well!
Naturally, it's still possible to see your suggested competitors in a match. I hope you put your best effort into the coming round/s still :3
Perhaps your feeling you might burn out is a necessary pressure, for being able to outdo yourself again (or at least perform well enough). Best of luck! I believe you can do it ;)!!!

Teckmo-X 2017-07-18 21:58:42

I've never thought I'd make it but somehow I pulled through. I'm once again in the game for the first time joining a contest. I will continue to try harder and if I were to fall I'll still remember the day I was able to keep going strong despite my failures. Thank you for this opportunity again.

I know some of you didn't make it and it really does well suck but no matter what know that your unique with your music and that you will always have more opportunities ahead. It was a pleasure to go up against @LunacyEcho and I really did wish that I had a chance to go up against one of my favorite Newgrounders @F-777 but regardless you all did great! Now it's on to going against @jimmypig and damn it I honestly am pretty shaky. I actually just got a glimpse of his work and it really is incredible. Tough competition but regardless in the end I'm happy I got to be part of something big. Love you all stay cool and I hope to meet again <3

-Tech ;*

LucidShadowDreamer 2017-07-18 21:58:42

It's a tough contest! Well done for making it this far. It certainly won't get easier, with every additional round :D
So do continue to try harder indeed!

Would've been pretty cool to go against F-777, wouldn't it ;)?
That said, that's no reason to get laz when going up against jimmypig indeed!
Thanks for all the posititivty :3

Small parts of your piece reminded me a bit of this (no part in particular), just in case you want to hear something pretty cool:
