You're point about rank being misleading is true there are people who are overranked and aren't really that good (I look at myself for that) and then you have people who are underranked and play as well, if not better, than the people who are thousands of ranks above them (I've seen this personally from the last osuGlobal tournament).Ex6TenZ wrote:
I just think that getting disqualified because said reasons after registered and approved is stupid. I get it that you guys want it to be fair, but.. just sayin' that rank can be very misleading anyway. BTW my friend invited me to play on this tour, not because i want to join it in the 1st place. Could be the same case for those who just got disqualified.
However, rank is a representation of your "skill" and since we do not want to go looking through every persons top ranking map or spectate every person to get an accurate representation of their skill, we instead look at rank which is the flashy number that everyone cares about and gives a general representation of what a player can play (that and we can easily get the number from the osu! API) . We set up limitations to what ranks we want because that's the skill level we want to see in this tournament.
We are sorry that this is causing a problem for you, but we do everything we can to make this fair.
Best of luck in the future,
