    I. PREFACE

    You really thought we would do only one edition?

    SOFT, short for springtime osu!mania free-for-all tournament, is a one-on-one, country-independent tournament. As the title indicates, this tournament is for the osu!mania game mode. More specifically, it is a 4 key tournament. This time around it is scheduled to start by the end of February / start of March, and will end at some point between mid/late April depending on the number of participants. And of course, it doesn’t quite start in spring, and barely even touches it for that matter, but our pre host Halogen- definitely wants us to keep the clever, memorable acronym, right?

    Compared to last year there are some changes being prepared by us but for now we will keep them behind the gates as we are still doing some testings to figure out how to make it work but expect something good!

    There are no prerequisites for entering this tournament! You can enter from any country, with any rank or performance points. Read on to see if this tournament is a good choice for you!


    TO ENTER, STATE YOU WANT TO ENTER THE TOURNAMENT AND GIVE ME YOUR TIME ZONE BASED OFF OF UTC. I WILL DO MY BEST TO MAKE A SCHEDULE THAT FAIRLY ACCOMMODATES FOR YOU AT ANY GIVEN POINT, BUT NO PROMISES CAN BE GUARANTEED.

    IV. TOURNAMENT ORGANIZATION
    IV. Tournament Organization

    A: ROUNDS

    Rounds are still to be designed as we are currently experimenting a bit with it. Expect something cool!


    B: QUALIFICATION PROCESS
    1 -- INFORMATION

    All players that enter the tournament will be eligible to play in the qualification round; however, participants cut down to a power of 2. The maximum number of players to advance into the post-qualification stage is 128.

    If 32 players enter, all 32 players will qualify and no one gets eliminated.
    If 33 players enter, the lowest individual gets eliminated and the top 32 go on.
    If 49 players enter, the lowest 17 individuals get eliminated and the top 32 go on.
    If 63 players enter, the lowest 31 individuals get eliminated and the top 32 go on.
    If 64 players enter, all 64 players will qualify and no one gets eliminated.
    If 127 players enter, the lowest 63 individuals get eliminated and the top 64 go on.

    The purpose of the above example is to reiterate that there will not be any rounding up with regards to tournament cut decisions. If you have any questions about it, feel free to ask them in the tournament thread.

    The qualification round will have a 4 song mini-pool that varies widely in difficulty. Each map will be assigned a tier, with tier 1 being the lowest difficulty, and tier 4 being the highest difficulty. All four maps will be created by the map selectors and will be unreleased prior to the tournament qualifier, to provide 0 opportunity for advantage through familiarity. All players will have two chances at each qualifier, making a qualifying session 8 songs total, where the highest of the two runs on each qualifier will be tabulated and cumulated for your final score.

    Players will be organized in groups based on their availability. Because qualification is not a process that involves 1 on 1 matchups, it is actually possible to have 8 players go through the qualification process at once, streamlining the process. If this is a confusing process, do not worry if you do not understand: simply adhere to the schedule put out and follow referee instructions during the match. The purpose of putting you guys in groups of 8 is to give everyone streaming time, as qualifiers will be streamed as well!

    Regardless of the number of entrants and eliminations, the qualification process will also be done to seed players. Players will be ordered based on their cumulative score from all four songs after the customized formula for the tier 1 song has been applied (see - TOURNAMENT ORGANIZATION > QUALIFICATION PROCESS > SCORING), with the best score being seed #1, and the worst score being seed n, with n being the number of players to clear the qualification stage.

    2 -- SCORING

    NEW: The score system we will be using this time is SCOREV2 in all the rounds. The total of the four songs played will accumulate to your final qualification score.

    C. POST-QUALIFICATION

    The round post-qualification will be a SINGLE ELIMINATION bracket stage with specific rules. Those who advance during this post-qualification stage (or second qualification) will be placed with 3 different players (with a total of 4 players) in a group.

    After the first qualification round the remaining 128 (or 64, depending on the registrations) players will be placed in 4 DIFFERENT GROUPS determined by their seeds during the first round of qualification.

    1. Top16: The top 16 seeds of the first qualification stage will advance directly into the group stage and they wont play the second round of qualification or post-qualification stage. This teams will be the top seeded teams of the group in all the cases.
    2. 17°-32° seeds: Those who get this seeds will get guaranteed High-Seed in the group stage if they manage to advance further into the tournament but they will have to play and win one match in order to qualify to it.
    3. 33°-96° seeds: This players will have to play once as well but they will play against each other (example, seed 33 plays against seed 96) and the winners of those matchups will advance and depending on who ends up qualified their seed of the qualification stage will determinate their seeds in the group stage.
    4. 97°-128° seeds: Those who end up in the last spots will be forced to play 2 MATCHES instead of one if they want to qualify into the group stage. The first match will be once again a single elimination between themselves (for example, seed 97 against seed 128) and the second one will be against those who ended up being in the 17°-32° seeds for a spot in the group stage.
    At the end, your seed determinates your seed in the group stage and it the sorting will all be seed dependent.

    To reiterate, the number of players entered in the tournament determines the number of players to move on past the qualification period. See B-1: INFORMATION for details.

    D. GROUP STAGE

    Following the qualification process will be a group stage tournament style that transitions to a double-elimination. The groups will be made of 4 players each and they will be a number of 16 groups (or 8, depending on the amount of players registrated).


    V. TOURNAMENT PLAY
    V. Tournament Play



    PROTOCOL

    Following the qualification round, all subsequent rounds will be player versus player however, its still to be decided how those rounds will work. More details soon!

    All matches must have a referee that is listed in the staff section of this tournament unless otherwise noted by myself. For maximal accountability on myself and my staff, each match will have a primary referee and a back-up referee in the event that the primary cannot make the match. This way we ensure you that there will be someone there to handle your tournament match. Overlaps between matches in dense stages might and will happen and because of that streaming every single map is just literally not doable. Even still, we will do our best job to get stream time for everyone.

    Matches will be listed in time blocks of a certain duration depending on the stage. If it is required the match schedules will consider running them for more time (for example, the finals will likely be scheduled to last for 1:30 hours).

    1. It is your right as a player and tournament entrant to expect that staff will perform to the best of their abilities in moderating matches in such a way that they will conclude in a timely manner. This means that rooms with matches will be created before the match start time, and you will be invited to the corresponding tournament room before the match start time. If both players arrive on time, tournament proceedings will begin promptly at the start time of the match, no earlier and no later. Take care of any priorities you may have immediately before and/or after the match, as we will be running on a fixed schedule. If it is less than five (5) minutes before your match start time and you have not been invited to your corresponding multiplayer room, find the designated referee for your match in game and send them a message. If they are not available, send a message to the backup referee of the matchup. If for any reason neither of them are available, send me a Discord message at juankristal#4568, with your invitation to add as a contact indicating that you are a player in my tournament and do not have a referee for your matchup. I will mitigate the situation both with your tournament match and unreliability of my team at that point.
    1. It is our right as tournament staff to expect that you will arrive for your matches before your expected time. Players will be given a ten (10) minute grace period after the match start time to enter their room; if they have not entered by this point, the match will be forfeited and the player that has arrived will win by default. In the extreme circumstance where both players have not shown up, the player with the higher seed in the match-up will advance automatically. This is to prevent byes for multiple matches while providing potential for more intense matchups to still be possible.
    1. It is your privilege as a player and tournament entrant to have an opinion about the content/structure used in the tournament. You are experiencing this event as a competitor, and every choice made in the process directly affects how you will progress in the tournament. If you dislike something, you are allowed to state your dislike -- however, do so reasonably. Speaking in absolutes/matter-of-fact tone is the fastest way for an argument to start, especially over an opinionated statement. Keep in mind that some of your fellow competitors and other users on this website will have content that will inevitably be used in the tournament, and it is best advised that you make it clear that it is your opinion so as to not be hurtful.
    1. It is our right as tournament staff to reprimand users for intolerable behavior. I (juankristal) will have sole discretion over decisions that affect your standing in the tournament; however, other members of tournament staff may forward any information to me that in any way represents uncalled for behavior towards other users or staff in my tournament. I will attempt to escalate serious situations beyond the scope of this event if need be, so please -- do everyone (and yourself) a favor and just be respectful. Minor instances will receive warnings, and continued instances will result in forceful removal from the tournament.
    WARM-UP SONGS

    Each player in the match will be allowed one (1) warm-up song to be played, making for two (2) warm-ups total between both players. The warm-up must be uploaded to the osu! website and accessible by everyone prior to the tournament match. Maps that have a beatmap listing but cannot be downloaded are not allowed for the purpose of warmup. Bloodcat links are not allowed, and neither are personal links featuring the beatmap that you want downloaded. Warm-up songs will be on free mode, allowing for any special modifications that you see fit for the purpose of warming up properly. NEW: In early stages your Warm-up cant be longer than 4 minutes. This includes the first 2 stages of the tournament after the qualifiers

    BANS, ROLLS, SONG SELECTION

    With the exception of warm-ups, all songs played in a given round must match those that are selectable in the corresponding map pool. Maps are to be played on a restrictive Free Mod: only Hidden, Fade In, or Flashlight can be used. NEW: A Hardrock bracket might be added sometime post-qualifiers.

    Players are to ban one (1) map within the map pool that they are playing for the given round. Players will be instructed to do a !roll command by the referee that is overseeing the match; the losing roll picks the first banned song, while the winning roll picks the first song of the match.

    After the bans and rolls have concluded, the player with the winning roll instructs the referee of their song selection, and the referee will switch to that song. After that song concludes, the other player will pick songs, and this process will continue until one of the two conditions is satisfied:

    a.) One player has achieved enough wins in such a way that the other player cannot successfully win the round.

    b.) Both players are at match point at the same time.

    If situation A:

    1. the winning player moves onto the next match
    2. the losing player falls to the loser’s bracket. If a player loses in the loser’s bracket, they are eliminated from the tournament.
    If situation B:

    1. Both players will play the song designated as the tiebreaker. The winner of the tiebreaker will progress to the next match of the tournament, while the loser will be eliminated or sent to the loser’s bracket, depending on the position of the tournament.


    DISCONNECTIONS

    Disconnections are an unfortunate circumstance, but cannot be fully accounted for. However, there are some stipulations in place that will allow players to mulligan a single attempt for a map. Maps with a player disconnection that occurs within the first 30 seconds, or 25% of the song (whichever comes first) will be nullified and re-attempted. Matches will have a two disconnection limit -- upon the third disconnection, a point will be handed immediately to the player still active within the lobby.

    A two minute timer will be placed on a disconnected player when the song played has concluded. When this timer hits 0, the grace period mentioned in PROTOCOL will be (re)activated. If the grace period timer hits 0, the match is forfeited, and the other remaining player will be declared winner. Situations with two player disconnections will be executed similarly to two missing players for a given match: the higher seed will be declared the winner if both players have no time left in their grace period.

    VI. ROUND OVERVIEWS
    VI. Round Overviews

    Every tournament round will have a specific number of maps to be played, a tiebreaker, and a maximum number of maps per match. The expected format is as follows:
    1. Qualification stages: 4 song map-pool, no winning condition, no tiebreaker.
    2. Rounds until Round of 16: 10 song map-pool, best of 7 (first to 4), one tiebreaker song
    3. Round of 16/quarter-finals: 12 song map-pool, best of 9 (first to 5), one tiebreaker song
    4. Semi-finals: 14 song map-pool, best of 11 (first to 6), one tiebreaker song
    5. Finals and Grand Finals: 16 song map-pool, best of 13 (first to 7), one tiebreaker song

I would love to have this time until the qualifiers to have some sort of discussions here for the players looking to join.

For example, what do you think about using scorev2 on this one, as well as a potentially HR bracket? Which changes would you guys make compared to last year? Everything counts.

HR bracket could be an interesting addition to this tournament and might give some lower level players with good accuracy a fighting chance against upper players, but you might want to increase the overall deviation of difficulty from the lower and upper bounds of the pool to make it fair to both sides. I'm personally indifferent either way.

If 33 players enter, the lowest individual gets eliminated and the top 32 go on.

Imagine being that one guy....

how about we get "more" pools (a.k.a DT, HR) everytime the tournament move foward to the next stage?

example :
R1 = only nomod
R2 = nomod, HR
R3 = nomod, DT
R4 = nomod HR, DT
R5 = etc?

Just a suggestion though ..

We are considering having something like this but mostly just for HR as we believe that DT can be replaced with just faster maps.

Something that I would like to address from my previous structure:

Qualification stages: 4 song map-pool, no winning condition, no tiebreaker.
Rounds until Round of 16: 9 song map-pool, best of 7 (first to 4), one tiebreaker song
Round of 16/quarter-finals: 11 song map-pool, best of 9 (first to 5), one tiebreaker song
Semi-finals: 13 song map-pool, best of 11 (first to 6), one tiebreaker song
Finals and Grand Finals: 15 song map-pool, best of 13 (first to 7), one tiebreaker song
This was from my previous tournament, and I would like to point out that, in retrospect, this is somewhat of a flawed structure (kinda realized this after having a discussion about something like this w/ Loctav). It gives substantial importance to the result of something completely random - the opening roll. The first ban and first pick order being determined is fine because it doesn't really change much: the first two songs are going to happen no matter what. However, this list here that states how many songs the mappool is also includes the tiebreaker. This means that rounds prior to round of 16 are 8 songs + one tiebreaker, round of 16/QF = 10 songs + one tiebreaker, etc.

The previous intent was to guarantee that the mappool got entirely exhausted in a situation where the tiebreaker is invoked; this actually comes with a more serious detriment though - the loser of the roll does not get to pick their final song in a situation where they're one point away from tiebreaker.

- In Bo7 where the score is 3-2 in a 9 song mappool, where one of those 9 songs is a tiebreaker, players will have banned 2 of the 8 pickable songs to leave only 6 remaining, and five songs will have been played, leaving the player in the deficit with absolutely no choice in how they want to respond to take their final point.

- Bo9: 4-3 in 11 song mappool with one being tiebreaker, players will have banned 2 out of 10, leaving only 8 remaining, and 7 will have been played, exact same scenario.

The solution is simple: simply extend every pool by one song (or disregard the tiebreaker from the mappool count).

That is something I can get behind, good idea.

Alright, the "IV. Tournament Organization" section has been reworked and we hope you all guys like it!

Right now we just mostly have to decide between having:

A) HR bracket in the map pool from Group Stage to Grand Finals.
B) Adding one map to each one of the map pools (making the size of them 1 map bigger)
C) Using a "ping-pong" system for the pick/ban phase.


For the last one which seems to be the harder one to understand let me explain it a little bit:

The "ping-pong" system for picking and banning attempts to nullify a bit the advantages of the roll. We all know that winning a roll makes you pick first and ban second and banning second is always better than banning first because your oponent might end up banning the song you wanted to ban in the first place, leaving you another ban to work with. So what does the "ping-pong" system do? Its quite simple.

The advantage of winning the roll will still be the same but, as it is on ping-pong itself, if you are at MATCH POINT (which means you are 1 point away of taking the match) you can NO LONGER pick maps and your oponent will pick for the rest of the match. With a map pool of a bigger size as proposed this will "technically speaking" add a ban in favour of those who lose the roll because if they are loosing by a match point then they have the choice to play all the remaining maps leaving 1 particular one aside. We want to do some testing with this system but we also want to know what you guys think about it as it was an interesting idea that spawned in the discord server.

Also, for those who arent in the public discord server I invite you all to take part of it and talk about this if you dont want to post in the forums. It is once again the same as last year so here is the link for it: https://discord.gg/cAfJJWY.

The ping-pong system sounds very interesting!

Thinking back through the logic of the ping pong system, it's more of an overall match balancer - It makes breaks (where you win your opponent's pick) less of a jump ahead, and makes it closer to a step I think. I don't think it's going to have a massive impact on matches that don't go either way, however it in general will make closer matches much closer. This is important where rolls in these close matches can really determine the upper hand for the entire match.

tl;dr
basically, in matches where expected to sweep, rolls don't really matter, and the ping pong pick doesn't really impact anything given the one player's superiority in the given mappool.
In matches where it's completely up in the air, there's less of a chance of one player managing to win all their picks off of a good roll, being able to ban second and pick first. If one player gets to match point, it's much less likely that the match just ends with them picking another song that they're strong at - the other player will be able to exercise the "extra ban" that will happen at the end if it comes to tiebreaker. this even makes it closer if the player losing the roll is slightly stronger, the extra tiny pick advantage will go to the weaker player

actual tl;dr
ping pong pick makes matches closer inherently, which is cool because #tiebreakerHype

"ping pong" system will only destroy one basic strategy I always use in matches, using strongest pick for a match point to dont let player any chance for picking another maps and win the entire match.

Remember that ping pong and matches on SOFT2 are different, matches on SOFT2 are not concluded by set points and in ping pong serves are sticked to one player untill the match point where the serve goes to second player, thats why it works in ping pong game. In osu!mania tournament, getting right to pick a map changes every round, letting a losing player pick every map while match point is pretty bad idea in my opinion that destroy some part of strategy aspects and its made only to give stream watchers more "exciting" matches.

As a spectator, its a good idea and people will probably like it.
As a player, It will be pretty annoying and can make final result of some matches pretty "unfair" (imagine that you are on match point 4:2, opponent pick and he wins a map, we have 4:3, in normal system you should pick a map right now but ping pong system doesnt let you, 2 maps left, on one of them you feel stronger, buy your opponent obviously pick another one and win it, 4:4 tiebreaker and unfortunately you are losing it and lose the entire match, isnt it frustrating?)
