# The What
11
+
12
+
ITL Online 2025 is an online, asynchronous event hosted by the [Internation Timing Collective](https://itc.dance?via=mmatt.net)! It is the biggest ITGmania event for all things tech and timing! Compiled of ~200 Community Made Charts from all sorts of packs curated by the talented ITL team, learn and perfect modern ITG Tech from lots of bangers in the pack.
13
+
14
+
Not an expert? Don't worry too much about competition, just have fun! Charts start at just ITG level 7s for both Singles and Doubles play. Have a fun time collecting Points from completing and perfecting your timing on these charts! It's a super fun event to learn dance gaming.
15
+
16
+
Old-timer getting back into Dance Games? ITL Online is the best time to come back into the game. With a pletheora of entry level to higher level charts, introducing you to all types of modern 4-Panel tech play. Compete with yourself to see if you can get those Quads! ⭐
17
+
18
+
Expert Dance Gamer? You probably already know about ITL, hell you are probably on the first page of the Leaderboard, pls don't steal my points <\_<!!
19
+
20
+
# The Why
21
+
22
+
Why should you play ITL? It's fun!!! Even if you aren't into competition, getting together with the community to play all these charts together is such a fun experience. I can't just tell you "Its Fun Please Play", so you'll just have to trust me and _at least_ try it out.
23
+
24
+
# The How
25
+
26
+
> ⚠️ Play at a public cab? Don't have a [GrooveStats](https://groovestats.com?via=mmatt.net) account yet? Both of these are covered in [a previous blog post of mine.](/weblog/gg_usb)
27
+
28
+
## Prerequisites
29
+
30
+
1. A [GrooveStats Account](https://groovestats.com?via=mmatt.net).
31
+
- Step 11 on my [previous blog post](/weblog/gg_usb) goes through all of this.
32
+
- You can either use a USB/Local profile with your API key OR use the QR codes on the score screens.
33
+
2. A 4-panel dance pad.
34
+
- No Keyboard Plays, sorry.
35
+
- [Find an arcade with a StepMania Converted Cab on Z-i-V](https://zenius-i-vanisher.com/v5.2/arcades.php?via=mmatt.net) or [Buy yourself your own Dance Pad](https://itgwiki.dominick.cc/en/hardware/itg-dance-pads?via=mmatt.net)
36
+
3. [ITGmania 1.0.0+ w/ Simply Love 5.6.0+](https://itgmania.com?via=mmatt.net)
37
+
- These are the supported versions for this year's ITL. Older versions may work for score submission, but it's recommended to update.
38
+
4. The pack downloaded and in your songs folder.
39
+
- You can find the pack on [ITL's Website](https://itl2025.groovestats.com?via=mmatt.net) after you sign in under the "Downloads" section on the "Rules" tab.
40
+
41
+
## How To Play
42
+
43
+
### 1. Register on the ITL website.
44
+
45
+
- Just sign in using your GrooveStats account on the [ITL Online 2025 website](https://itl2025.groovestats.com?via=mmatt.net)
46
+
47
+
### 2. Turn on the FA+ Timing Windows.
48
+
49
+
- ITL Online is a timing event, which means we turn on the 15 ms Fantastic window (widely referred to as FA+).
50
+
51
+
#### 2.1 Go into options after choosing a song
52
+
53
+
- Press the green button twice.
54
+
55
+
#### 2.2 Go down to "Advanced Modifiers"
56
+
57
+
58
+
59
+
#### 2.3 Turn on all the FA+ options.
60
+
61
+
62
+
63
+
### 3. Play your charts!
64
+
65
+
- Note:
66
+
- You must keep Decents + Way Offs enabled
67
+
- use XMOD or MMOD when "No CMOD" is in the chart description
68
+
- only 1.0x song rate mod (not scroll speed)
69
+
- turn & visuals mods are okay (nothing that messes with the step counts)
70
+
- play unlocks with friends and submit later when you unlock the chart.
71
+
72
+
### 4. Have Fun, and collect Points!
73
+
74
+
ITL is all about having fun, so don't forget it!
75
+
76
+
ITL Online 2025 started on March 14th, 2025 and will end on June 15th, 2025 at 2:59 AM PDT. You'll still be able to play the charts of course, and you'll be able to collect points in the "off-season", but eventually score submissions to ITL will close out.
