First Famista Tokyo and Osaka Tournaments The Steering Committee has introduced a common rating system for the Tokyo and Osaka tournaments held by enthusiasts of the first generation Famista since September 2024, so that they can use objective indicators to determine their abilities. As a commemorative event, we would like to announce that we will hold the first East vs. West competition of the first generation Famista on October 26 (Saturday) in Shinjuku, Tokyo, and we are looking for contestants for this event. The schedule for the Tokyo and Osaka tournaments during the year will also be announced.

2. rating

A rating is a system for calculating a measure of a player's ability. The rating system used in this event is calculated by Iro Rating, which is used in many competitive games. 3.

Aim of the introduction of the common rating system

On December 10, 2023, a national tournament for the first Famista game was held at Doshisha University. Since then, tournaments have been held regularly in Tokyo and Osaka. By introducing an objective indicator for East and West, we have made it possible to see how well the original Famicom Star fared nationwide.

4. timing of adoption

The common rating is calculated based on the results of the games played in the Osaka Tournament on September 15 and the Tokyo Tournament on September 22.

(*The "First Famista East vs. West Tournament" to be held on October 26 will also be included in the ratings.

6. future development

If there are regions that regularly hold the first generation Famesta tournaments, and if there is mutual exchange between players with the Tokyo and Osaka tournaments, we are considering developing a common rating system for those regions as well.

7. comments from the rating administrator

We have a system that allows us to see who is stronger than we are, or how good we are in the whole country.

I would like to play with people who are stronger than me, or to find out how good I am in the country.

I would be happy if this gathering of Famicom enthusiasts could become a kind of "third place" for adults to play Famicom. 8.
