The Chart Assembly Team (CAT) is currently looking for volunteers! The CAT is responsible for selecting maps for the monthly and themed charts. We are looking for dedicated and active members who have the confidence and judgement required in order to nominate, vote, and criticize maps for these charts.

Some basic information to know before applying:
  1. No modding experience is required, but it is a plus. We are primarily looking for members with a good amount of playing experience; however, modding shows that you have the ability and experience on judging maps, which is a essential part of what the CAT is responsible for.
  2. Actively play maps, especially new ones! Monthly chart picks are chosen from maps that were ranked in the most recent month. Themed chart picks are chosen from maps that fit a specific theme which is chosen by the CAT staff.
  3. You do not have to have experience in all modes. Being active in just one mode is sufficient, but the more the better.
  4. We are looking for osu!mania applicants as well. Maps for this mode will be included in the next chart.
  5. Be friendly and open-minded to the people around you; it's an important part of being cooperative on a team like this.
If you are interested in applying, you can do so here. Afterwards, send me a forum PM with the subject line: "CAT Application Verification." The forum PM requirement is to prevent others' from applying for other users, so please don't forget to do so as it is mandatory.

Application deadline: June 1st, 2013 at 00:00 UTC
New members will be announced at the same time the June monthly chart is released (which is approximately June 14th)

As a side note, DeathxShinigami has stepped down from his position as manager, and I will be taking care of the team. If you have any questions about CAT, feel free to PM me on the forums or in-game. I look forward to seeing your applications!

It is safe to assume that I have received your verification if I did not PM you.

I PM all applicants that I notice did not send me a PM in order to verify the applicants identity.

(so to bluntly answer your question, yes I did)

There is no winning or losing. This is about choosing qualified people for a important team.

If you answer "yes" at that question then your application most likely will be ignored.

Again for everybody: "Are you a bot?" has to be answered with "No". It is just a secure that only individuals sign up for the CAT.
This is also no competition, try to describe yourself the best you can and why you think you are suitable for the CAT! Also do not think that the number of CATs we can take is limited for now.

I don't think that Modding experience will be something very important but it helps of course. And I guess o!m CAT won't be that easy to pick out since it also depends on the activity in the forum. inb4 Hanyuu as CAT

How would somebody nominate maps for monthly charts if they don't play the new ones? (:

You need to be active in the Ranking Chart Forums after you have been added to the CAT. How active you are elsewhere in the forum doesn't matter too much. But a bit of forum activity can be a good point to become a CAT anyway.

Damn it Makar, stop dodging my question, I don't feel any sense of satisfaction at all from that answer.
Also, an important role like CAT can be motivation for changing that behavior.

Alright, I'll be a bit more direct: It doesn't matter if you presently play new maps or not, but as you can tell, it is important for you to do this if you are added; nevertheless, if we see you currently actively play new maps, it will help us in choosing applicants.

I think that shouldn't matter as long as even a proud grammar nazi understands what's written there.

Just do it and say in how far you want to improve and work on yourself. ;) We won't neglect your application.
A small advice for everybody: Stop having those self-doubts. Just try as good as you can and you'll see if you're accepted or not. Always saying that you would not be suitable for the CAT just gives an image as if you have a little lack of self-confidence. :P
