osu! Individual Championships 2014

Intro
Welcome to the Osu! IC 2014!
This is a unique tournament that will be held yearly.
This tournament is designed to give the professional players a chance to truly rise above the rest.
This tournament is time-friendly. It will take place over the next 6 months!
If you are serious about competing in this tournament please read all of the information here. It is important.
Format
The rounds will be formatted quite differently from normal tournaments.
First Round:
  1. Every player is given 5 chips.
  2. Every time you beat someone in a song you take a chip from them. (To win you must have the highest score)
  3. If you beat someone on the "Advanced Pick" song you take 2 chips from them.
  4. When you reach 12 chips you are eligible to continue to the second round.
  5. There is no limit to the amount of chips you can collect.
  6. You must have 1 chip to compete.
  7. Only a total of 400 chips will be given.
  8. If you don't make it into the tournament a friend can GIVE you a chip.
Second Round:
Score Trail!
The rules are simple.
  1. Tell a referee you are ready to play.
  2. The referee picks a random map from the pool.
  3. You will play that map or get a 0.
  4. When you finish your score is recorded, the highest score total wins.
  5. You will play all 18 maps, you can split them up.
  6. You cannot play a map twice, if the referee picks a map you have played they will repick the map.
  7. If you absolutely hate a map, or need to get a higher score than the map that you are playing offers, you can choose to replace *1* map with the bonus map.
  8. All mods allowed (including DT).
  9. The rotten egg map cannot be replaced.
Semi-Finals:
Bracket format. Seeded.
First map will always be rotten egg. Winner of the rotten egg gets map pick, then it will rotate.
Rotten Egg is NOT worth a point, it is only used to determine map pick.
Tie Breaker will be used if both players are on game point.
Best of 7.
Finals:
Same as Semi-Finals except it is best of 9.
Eligibility and Registration
In order to be eligible you must rank in the top 10,000 in one of the following categories:
  1. PP(v2)

Rules
All matches must be attended by a referee!
Maps are chosen by the winner of the rotten egg.
You can use any free mods.
Use of skins and visual settings is allowed.
If there is a score tie then there is no winner.
If you disconnect mid match your score becomes 0, no exceptions.

This chip format is strange. Why not just use double elimination? Who decides who versus who?

Thats the greatest part. The contestant does. It becomes your job to contact and challenge a player.

Edit:

That is why the First Round is so long.

In 2v2 the winning team is the 2-player team with the highest score. Losing team's players both lose a chip and winning team's players both get a chip.

Although, the question is, what happens if you try to challenge a bunch of people and everybody declines? Would that person then not be able to advance due to nobody's willingness to play with said person?
Spyrunite
I still don't get how 2v2 will work. Do both players get 1 chip? (one from each other player) Are the partners just for that match, can I change partners for a different match?

This has been a constant question, the truth is, if everyone said no there would be no one advancing. If no one will accept your challenge you can try to set up a 2v2 with a less skilled player as your teammate as a handicap and carry hard.

I will look into a solution to this issue and post it before everything starts.

While I agree random pick is literally the worst, I'm curious as to why its being used.

I have explained myself, and the reasoning behind my decisions to you multiple times, and I have politely asked you to stop messaging me about it multiple times. Please keep your opinion and move along, a professional doesn't try to belittle someone or something, they disagree and move on. How about you go ahead and do that?

Random pick is being used to prevent players from picking to their own strengths or their opponents weaknesses. Due to the nature of the tournament and the possibility of a large player base we want to keep the first round games as short as possible so anyone can get a game in with a ref while they are available, to do this I am keeping the first round games to 1 round wins. Because of this the best possible choice is random picks.
