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.

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

Zexous wrote:

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.

do you mean the maps are getting worse or their just not well choosen?

GladiOol wrote:

im talking about the fact that simply anybody can knock on the door and apply for a place in the chart team. a team which was supposed to resemble quality. it's now just a random bunch of people gathered around who vote for the maps they like most (like it already was, i was in it), but that will now simply tremble down even further. it's just sad to see that happen.

@silmarilen:

believe me, i've been in it. anybody can just join. how are you going to determine one their skill in making a good objective judgement over a map when all they have to do is send in a PM saying: hello i like chart maps very much fun. pls let me join. k. bye.

Is it possible to still apply and maybe be qualified if you don't play as heavily or have less time?

Only reason I ask this is because before my laptop died, I was playing like everyday. Now, I barely play as much since I'm borrowing another pc (a.k.a. playing while the pc owner is sleep).

Nothing is preventing you from sending an application :p
All you need is good mapping/playing experience, I guess. If you're able to tell why x or y map is awesome and should be on the chart, you pretty much have your chances.

It's not needed to have mapping or modding experience, yet recommendable to join the CAT. If you're an experienced player, you should know what's fun to play and what not without having any knowledge of mapping.

Nevertheless having mapping experience is a plus that helps to distinguish what's good and not.
