KONAMI Arcade Championship: Difference between revisions

The first installment will have 12 games in total, including seven BEMANI titles. Each participant participated in one of five regions, namely Hokkaido/Tohoku region, Kanto region, Chubu region, Kansai/Chugoku region, and Shikoku/Kyushu/Okinawa region, based on the participant's prefecture he/she resides on. ''For the sake of convenience, information for only BEMANI divisions are reflected in this article.''

The Qualifying rounds as split into two parts that held on two periods: September 29th - October 23rd for the first part, and October 26th - November 6th for the second part. Each part will have three songs with an assigned difficulty for each respective song, with some modifier restrictions (such as no using AUTO modifiers and required clearing). The first part will qualify 100 players per region who will advance to the second part. The second part will qualify only the top four players per region (eight in REFLEC BEAT, 12 in jubeat) to the Final round.

The Final Round was split into two parts as well: regional finals and national finals. In the regional finals, players compete in a series of songs and the player with the highest score will move on to the national finals. The five finalists advancing to the national finals compete via the same rules with each finalist having a song of their choice, and the finalist with the highest score after the round was named the champion for the division.

The qualifier period was held on October 1st to November 4th. At the start of the Qualifying period only a few songs are picked as Qualifying songs but as weeks passed, number of qualifying songs are added gradually. Similar to the last KAC, only few players with the top scores moved on to the Final round.

In addition to the Qualifier round, a special division, ''BEMANI Master'' was added, which would award points based on participation of nine BEMANI titles. Up to 700 points can be earned for one division by placing first, and minus 1 point per each placement, all the way down to the 500th place (201). The winner of this special division was [[DOLCE.]].

The finals are held on three days from November 23rd to 25th. Similar to the last KAC, the finals are held on two parts, Regional Finals and National Finals, with the exception of SOUND VOLTEX for the Asian region. Six finalists advanced to compete in the National Finals and the winner was determined based on the highest score.

In SOUND VOLTEX division, in addition to the finals, a special FLOOR contest was held from September 6th to September 19th whereas artists submit their compositions to participate. The entry deemed best was awarded as Highest Excellence and will be unveiled first on the finals on that day. A total of 12 songs are accepted entries, with one song, [[BlackY]]'s [[Max Burning!!]], being awarded as Highest Excellence song.
