Before we take off tomorrow here is the final thing you need to know about how we will play the group stage:
The roster of matches that will be played is online right now as you all probably saw. I think that 20 minutes will be enough for each match. I will invite you a little bit before the match will start so you can join, chat a bit with your opponent and prepare. When the game starts both you and your opponent will first be asked to roll a dice for a warm up map. The winner of the dice roll gets to choose the map. There will only be 1 warm up map.
After the warm up is done I or any other host will start picking the beatmaps from the beatmap folder I made. There is a total of 15 beatmaps that can be played which will stay secret from you players. These will be randomly chosen with f2. To make these matches fit within 20 minutes we will play best out of 3 with each match. The top 2 players from each group will advance to the next round, so that there will be 16 players left.
If any match takes longer than 20 minutes I will notify the other players, may this be the case then please stay calm and patient, your match will be played eventually. I know that we don't have a lot of leeway with only 20 minutes for each match, but we don't have many hosts and if everything goes smoothly we will never be short on time.
Hopefully that cleared up everything. Regards.
