Each key amount must have at least 2 difficulties and one of them must be Easy/Normal. Furthermore, each key amount must have a similar diffspread. This means that a mapset including two key amounts must have equal difficulties for each of them.

Should mention that the difficulties should be in a consecutive order of difficulty, so no Easy -> Hard gaps in difficulty for each key set.

Different key amounts within a mapset must be treated as different gamemodes regarding the number of difficulties.

Different key amounts should have similar difficulties. This is to keep parity between different key amounts and satisfy different key amount players.

I think that each key mode should be ranked individually. You cannot compare a 7K player to a 4K player and vice-versa. Each mode requires a different focus and trying to amalgamate them into one ranking system makes no sense. Currently, with the small amount of 4K ranked maps (HD/MX), getting to the top of the PP leaderboards is nigh impossible. You would have to play 7K maps in combination with 4K maps to amass a high enough PP count to get anywhere. For me at least, it just feels like there is a relative limit to how far you can get in 4K ranked.

I completely agree with you, and this is another issue which has been (or is being adressed ?) during the past few weeks, but it seems it is unlikely to change.

The keycount parity is something we should give more attention to, starting out with fair rules mapping-wise. You can't obviously expect the community to map as much 7K or 4K as the other Ks, but this is a step towards a "balance" between different keycount players for future mapsets.

Seems like there were no real objections or doubts in this rule change. Moreover I support this rule and after this has stood for debate a long while already, I'd like to push this forward.

Bubbled. You get 7 days to bring up serious objections until I amend this. Even more since woc is gone, it's yet more our everyone's task to keep mania fresh and vital.

Amended

New rule (slightly reworded, same content):

Different key amounts within a mapset must be treated as different gamemodes and require an respective independent difficulty spread. Therefore each key amount must have an independent difficulty spread. For example if you want to add a 7K difficulty to your set, you must design a whole 7K spread. If you want to add an additional 4k difficulty to your set, you must also desgin a whole 4K spread.

New guideline (slightly reworded, same content):

Different key amounts within a mapset should have a similiar difficulty spread. This is to keep parity between different key amounts and satisfy different key amount players.

Also reworded some rules to make them fit with the RC standards we have across all difficulties. Their content havn't changed, just their appearance and wording.

in other word, if you have 7K Hard 7K Normal 7K Easy and want to add another keyset , then it should be 5K Hard 5K Normal 5K Easy ?


okay i'm good with this set. making balance to other specific player
