Do not qualify mapsets whose song already has a Qualified mapset, unless no game modes of both sets overlap - this includes remixed versions. For example an osu!taiko and osu! mapset of the same song can exist in the Qualified section, whilst an osu!taiko and osu!/osu!taiko hybrid set cannot. This ensures variety among Ranked beatmaps within their respective game modes.
This has been brought up multiple times before, but with the NAT/BNG restructure on the horizon, and particularly the introduction of the ability of BNs to disqualify mapsets for reasons they feel fit, I feel like this should be brought up again.
This rule should be removed for the following reasons:

This rule should be removed for the following reasons:
- Removing this rule eliminates any conflict-of-interest problems potentially caused by multiple BNs attempting to rank sets of the same song simultaneously, ensuring all disqualifications are done in good faith rather than because of speedrank wars (see: ADAMAS, RESISTER, Kawaki wo Ameku, and these are only recent examples).
- Further to point 1, removing this rule reduces the need to rush in the case of a speedrank race, potentially increasing the quality of said maps, because delaying the map one day to rework a pattern or add another GD no longer runs the risk of delaying the ranking of the map by over a week.
- As mapping has grown, there is no longer any need to "buffer content" with the reasonably large quantity of maps getting ranked weekly. This rule may have helped smooth out the flow of content back when it was introduced, but that is no longer necessary because many more maps are ranked now, ensuring that there will be no content droughts.
