The Ultimate Tapdown! by Ed
November 20th, 2009
Have you ever searched “Tap Tap Revenge” on Twitter? A lot of people say they’re addicted. A ton of people say they play TTR “nonstop.” Well, the time has come to find out the truth, and have you people put your money where your mouth is. Or more accurately, put your fingers where your mouth is…where your mouths are…Whatever! It’s time to TAP YOUR FREAKIN’ BRAINS OUT, BECOME THE WORLD’S TOP TAPPER, AND WIN THE $1000 GRAND PRIZE!!
This tournament will take place on 10 separate days, with individual competitions each day :
* Sat Nov. 21
* Sun Nov. 22
* Sat Nov. 28
* Sun Nov. 29
* Sat Dec. 5
* Sun Dec. 6
* Sat Dec. 12
* Sun Dec. 13
* Sat Dec. 19
* Sun Dec. 20
To join the daily competition, launch Tap Tap Revenge 3, and go into The Ultimate Tapdown online contest rooms. At 12:01 a.m. Pacific Standard Time, the contest begins. At 11:59 p.m. PST, the contest ends. That’s right, this is a 24 HOUR TAP-A-THON! 100 players from each day will move on to the finals: The top 80 players with the most cumulative points, and 20 Chosen Ones. Keep a close eye on TapTapRevenge.com to see where you stand!
What’s a Chosen One? These will be 20 players that are selected by the Tapulous Board of Impulse. Some will be chosen randomly. Some will win through Twitter or Facebook posts. Some will make it through YouTube videos. Some will bring us coffee. The only way to know is to stay on your toes, and keep an eye on all things Tap Tap. We’ll let you know what you have to do. But that’s not all – get creative! Think of something awesome before we do, you’re IN.
Each contest day, we’ll randomly GIVE AWAY TONS OF PRIZES, including 100 premium track packs, and 100,000 coin packs for Tap Tap Shopping Sprees!
After the 10 contest days, we’ll have 1000 finalists for December 26th’s ALL-STAR TAPDOWN. This will take place between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. PST. Finalists will be given 10 songs to prove their skills.
From that group, the cream of the Tap Tap crop, one champion will emerge. One person who can rightfully claim the crown, and be declared “KING OF ALL TAPPERS.” And to that victor will go the spoils:
THE $1000 GRAND PRIZE.
But the losers won’t be complete losers:
* 2nd place: iPod Touch
* 3rd place: iPod Nano
* Top 4th-10th: $25 iTunes card
And all 1000 who make it to the finals will win a track-pack prize and a cool wrestling-style belt avatar item, just for showing up.
But what about those of you who don’t make it to the finals? Do we want you to just sit around on December 26th and twiddle your thumbs? The answer is NO! We’ll also be running the TAP TAP CARNIVAL!
We’ll be all over TapTapRevenge.com, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube, giving out loads of prizes and having all kinds of contests, including (but not limited to):
* Avatar contests – most stylish, goofiest, most blinged out, and more
* YouTube contests – we’ll be asking for your most original, funniest videos
* Twitter contest- how fast can you tweet us back?
* Facebook contests, best feature request, battles, and tons more crazy stuff!
2009 has been an amazing year for us, and we owe it all to you Tappers. We’re trying to go out on the biggest bang we can come up with. Don’t miss out on this party. The world’s #1 Tap Tap Revenge player could be you!

November 22nd, 2009
hello
November 23rd, 2009
this is ridiculous Ed. you are creating tapdowns and not focusing on releasing Riddim Ribbon. Stop delaying the app. It is unethical. Next time tell your CEO (Bart) to not lie to thousands of customers via youtube @ the Apple Conference that RR would be released in October, he was so wrong! You give a date if you are certain. Just release RR already come on…………….
November 23rd, 2009
Omg I’m so down for this!!! =]
November 23rd, 2009
Thanks for making it on the weekends only!
School has ruined any hope I had at the other competitions…

Thanks for all the great competitions and awesome Tap Tap Thursday songs! Also, does anyone know if there’s somewhere you can go to request songs for TTT?

November 27th, 2009
No you dont have to do both. There are no tickets its just calculated on the servers as an entry.
November 28th, 2009
HEY ED!!!!!!!! IT’S Saturday and I can’t see the contest room, is it only at a specific time?

November 28th, 2009
Hi Tapulous, I would love to know if anything resets your total points, does quitting ttr3 reset it? leaving a tournament room to the ttr3 main menu? skipping a song? or is every song you play in a tournament room on that day counted? thanks!
November 28th, 2009
also can I jump from 1 tournament room to another and my points add up? thanks for any answer
November 28th, 2009

Hey Ed even if I get 100 percent I’m not in first or in the top 10, are some people cheating?! Email me if u can or just reply to this comment. THANKS FOR THE COOL CONTESTS!
November 28th, 2009
hey r u going to take total 80 from saturday nad sunday or 80 each day????
November 29th, 2009
Where can we see the results?
November 29th, 2009
This game is awsome
November 29th, 2009
To Matthew Cabrera: no some people are not cheating. i understand how you feel. we usually have about 15 people in our room get a full combo. so how does this affect the scores? if you played the tutorial it gives a small mention that if you hit the note perfectly you get more points then it being a little bit off. this can be shown by the green ring that surrounds the tap zone after you hit a note.
November 29th, 2009
Nice tournament ! Please more extrem !
