I just looked at NES Tetris Elo spreadsheet to check how high i am against other non maxouters

Turns out i rank 11th in "all time" overall rankings and 3rd in DAS rankings. (And since i didn't play against non DAS players in ages the all time ranking might be lower than my true skill ceiling)

And there was an announcement of "Sub-maxout Cup" tournament today I plan on participating

This makes me kinda excited since there is not a small possibility of becoming a "Sub-maxout world champion"
Update. Decided to qual on day 1 (i had time until June 30th but i got excited). And.. Actually smashed it? I was consistent and had a lot of 500k+ scores, and since the format is average of 2 i got 726k.
And 726k would give seed 3 both last year and 2 years ago.
I will keep being excited i guess ​
