| - TSR's Doubles Tournament was a six-round, no-elimination, raw-scoring tournament for teams of two hosted by TheSaxRunner05 from March to April of 2015. It was the first tournament to use the Skill Rating system as a guideline for division placement. Each round lasted one week, and involved a format where partners needed to work together to submit the best combination of scores for their team. To facilitate cross-divisional teams, scoring was determined by a point-value system. First, a person's PA on a song was converted to the number of equivalent goods, and that number represented the points his team received from his submission. Thus, a lower point value was better. Then, teams were ranked each round by these raw score amounts until the round ended, which was when the teams received ranking points based on their rank. These ranking points varied in each round, with more points being offered in later rounds since they were more difficult, but in general the idea was something like: 1st place rank got 25 points, 2nd place 24, etc. The team with the highest ranking points accumulated at the end of Round 6 won the tournament.
