I'm happy to give you the good news that the first Pro tournament is in the "planning" stages. We will be hosting a tournament this 2008 year, post AMOA show taking place in Las Vegas Nevada. Andamiro will be supplying our machines for the tournament.
The Tournament is being planned for the 13th of September, 2008 (following the AMOA Amusement show) This will be a 1 day event! Who will be the first Pump Pro champion?
DETAILS (so far)

DAY: Saturday the 13th of September, 2008
ENTREE FEE: There will be an entree fee of $10 (with proven travel plans) or $15 at the door. (walk-in)
TOURNAMENT INFO (so far):
This tournament format will be IRON-MAN. This means that you can expect to be playing several play modes. (not just crazy, not just nightmare) You will want to be well balanced and familiar with all the aspects of the Pro engine. Points will be awarded per rounds and the person with the most points will win the overall tournament. This should be exciting for all because we will truly see how diverse the champion will be involving all aspects of play with PIU Pro.
We are working on posting the rules and more details very soon.
ADDITIONAL INFO: Players are responsible for making travel arrangements and lodging arrangements in Las Vegas. We encourage all players to also attend the AMOA show happening the week before Saturday.

The Pro team will be attending this event. We look forward to meeting all of you and having fun!

Definitive Tournament info:
Divisions
1. Iron Man (A true test of multiple skills required for Pump It Up Pro)
2. Freestyle (if time allows) Freestyle routines will be performed and judgments will be determined by audience representatives. The crowd will determine the winners!
Iron Man Division:
Players: 32+/- We will be able to support more then 32 players. 32 is our definitive plan.
Tournament Running Time:
8 to 9 hours
Skills Tested
1. Single no bar
2. Single bar
3. Double no bar
4. Double bar
5. half double no bar
6. mods
7. Progressive courses
8. Understanding your own accuracy
9. Poor volume (ie visual play)
10. Timing adjustment
11. Alternate song speeds
General rules:
1. Players are limited to picking speed mods (c-mods only when applicable), skins, perspectives, or hold the bar as they like in most cases. The times when they can not are indicated in the round rules.
2. Each round will allow players to earn points. These points will be based on how well they did relative to everyone else. If you miss a step or make a major mistake during a round DO NOT GIVE UP as you are playing against ALL other players every round and should try to earn every last point possible.
3. 1st place is always worth 32 points; last place is always worth 1 point (except where noted in the rules below dealing with a tie and when more than 32 people are in a round). All of the places between 1st and last are worth a different amount of points.
4. The points accumulate for the entire tournament. A perfect event would award a player 480 points during the 15 rounds of play.
5. Every player will be allowed to play in the first two rounds. After that, a few of the overall lowest ranked players will be eliminated EVERY round.
6. In the event of a tie for last place of a round both, players will advance to the next round.
7. During that next round there will be more players than the specified point chart accounts for. Players placing below the last place on the point chart (which always receives 1 point) will receive zero points.
8. In the event you fail a song or course then the % before you fail will be used for ranking for that round unless otherwise specified.
9. If you are disqualified during a round you will receive zero points for that round.
10. Many rounds will have songs/ratings for you to choose from. A few rounds allow players to select ANY song. Players can NOT select the same song again for the duration of the event. This only applies to the rounds where players have the option to select ANY song. If the same song IS chosen twice by a player, then the player will receive a zero point penalty for that round (even if the error is not discovered until several rounds later).
11. A machine technical error must be reproducible for an official/judge for a redo to take place. It must be done immediately after the song round is completed. Players should KEEP playing the song even if he/she believes their MAY be a technical error. If the error can not be reproduced after the match, then no redo will be allowed.
***It is very important after EACH round the players report to the scoring official so that the points can be recorded. This will help allow the next round to begin promptly. Players that fail to report in promptly may either be disqualified or receive zero points for that round.***
12. Each round may include additional rules:
13. Song options has been removed. The songs will be given to the rounds the day of the tournament. The entire songs (for all rounds) have been posted in the songlist above. These will be the songs used in the rounds below
