After postponing the starting date of the tournament for a little bit, we can finally give to you: the 3 Digit World Cup!
Looking to compete in the osu!catch World Cup, but aren’t able to make it to the team? Here is your chance to compete in a world cup, except a world cup where only 3 digit players can partake in.
Do you think you have what it takes to compete against all the other countries, wait no more, start unboxing those fresh new keyboards and go wild to show what you can do to represent your country!

1. If a country does not have enough players to join, we will be allowing them to group up with neighboring countries (countries which has the least players will take priority to which one you will be grouped with)
2. If your country has enough players to create a second team, we will allow you to create not one but two teams (you'd have to assign a new captain for this team as well so they can figure out their second team)
3. Games are played as a 3v3 with ScoreV2
4. A team consist of at least 3 players, with a maximum of 6
5. In order to participate, you have to be 3 digits when the registration ends (add an extra 2 days to be safe), after that you can farm away

General rules

1. The score used in this tournament will be ScoreV2.
2. Teams will be matched up through seeding from the Qualifier stage.
3. The mappool of the Qualifiers will be played through once.
4. If a team is 10 minutes late for a match, they will be disqualified for that match and lose by default.
5. If a team does not contain enough players to play a match (3 players), the opposing team will win the match.
6. Commentators aren't allowed to bad-mouth players in any given scenario, if they do, then please report this.
7. If a player in your team decides to name-change after signing up to the tournament or mid tournament, notify Wesley about this change or that player will not be able to partake in the next match.

In-game rules

1. You are allowed to switch players in between maps.
2. You cannot nullify a beatmap under any circumstance.
3. A map can only be retried when something hindering happens (such as a disconnect) in the first 20 seconds of that map. This is only allowed once per match for each team.
4. If a whole team dies on a map, the opposing team wins that map by default.
5. The rolling mechanic that decides who picks and bans in what order will be as follows: the winning team of a roll may decide whether they get first ban AND second pick, or ban second AND pick first.
6. Teams have 1 ban each. This might be increased to 2 bans in later stages
7. Best of winning conditions per stage:
   -Round of 24: best of 11
   -Round of 16: best of 11
   -Quarterfinals: best of 11

   -Finals: best of 13

8. Always remember that this is just a game (I.e behave yourself)
9. If neither team has enough players to conduct the match a roll will be done to determine the match’s winner

Mod rules

1. The mappools will consist of 5 NoMod, 3 Hidden, 3 HardRock, 3 DoubleTime and 1 Tiebreaker maps
2. The Tiebreaker will be played with either NoMod or Hidden. Any other mods are NOT allowed.
3. When picking either DoubleTime or HardRock maps, you are allowed to pick Hidden alongside
4. You are not allowed to pick a map from the same mod pool twice in a row.
5. NoFail will be forcibly used on some maps. The maps that have forced NoFail on them will be clarified per mappool. Next to these maps with forced NoFail on them, you are NOT allowed to use NoFail.

Date when the registration will be closed: 19/09/2021 (dd/mm/yyyy).
After this date we will send in all the users that signed up to get screened. This will take one to two weeks. Updates about this will go on Discord.

If we do not comply with this the tournament will not receive a badge.
See Tournament screening for more information.

Players will have to register individually and will be grouped on the spreadsheet by country.
After the registrations we will be appointing captains for each country and give them the list of players they can pick off. If a country does not have enough players to join, we will be allowing them to group up with neighboring countries.
If your country has enough players to create a second team, we will allow you to create not one but two teams (you'd have to assign a new captain for this team as well so they can figure out their second team). If this happens, it will be mentioned in the initial message we send you to create a team.

As this tournament is a rank restricted tournament, you are only allowed to partake if your rank is in between 99 and 1000 (rank 99 and 1000 can’t partake, anything in between can).
You have to stay within this rank range UNTIL the registrations are closed. Once the registrations have been closed, you are free to gain ranks again (of course wait one or two days before doing so, just so you don't get disqualified before we have even checked everyone)

BWS

We will be using BWS to calculate your rank.
The following formula will be used:

rank^(0.9937^(badges^2))

The badges that will be used for this calculation will only be badges relevant to osu!catch tournaments. If you have a badge from a spotlight for example, this will NOT count towards your BWS rank

Note: You will have until 03/10/2021 to finalize your team (this date might change depending on how long screening will take). After this date the teams are finalized and will stay as is.

In order to register, visit https://forms.gle/YMt775PLFNwmJzLp6 and fill in the fields.

Closing date for the registration phase: 19/09/2021

(*) If screening takes longer than one week, the tournament will be postponed by a week, until the screening is done.
