A little question regarding the portion of the commuity voting; is the winner selected 100% based on the community voting, or are there some internal discussions too?

I was gonna ask evening how was it but nvm that
Another thing, it is impossible to map such song up to 5.5 star via 4k. (Why 5.5 when the icon turns X at 5.25 star? Also mentioned earler, because the contest rules said 5.5+ counts as X, lower dosent count.)
Easy: x < 1,5
Normal: 1,5 < x < 2,25
Hard: 2,25 < x < 3,75
Insane: 3,75 < x < 5,25
Extra: 5,25 < x
Also why follow star difficult? This system still broken and if someone push the map forward to be harder to get extra icon which would be really bad imo
Like Epherwhat? said, custom hitsounds are prohibited, so use default hitsounds instead.
BOI
i just wait for judge fast..
honestly, who want my map lol
last place here we go
5.4 > insane O
5.4 > Extra O
5.4 > Insane,Extra X
5.3 > Insane O / 5.4 > Extra O
5.4 > Insane / 5.3 > Extra X
I'm guessing they mean you can only submit ENHIX, so if you have a 6 or 7* diff (don't know why they stated 5.5 as a minimum value), you can't submit more lower star diffs in order to keep a consistent difficulty gap. If you have a high star last diff, that'll be your extra.
If submissions close on the 25th Oct, it won't even been a month since the contest was announced (29th Sept), let alone since submissions opened (7th Oct)... Is this correct?
Edit: lolsniped
Edit: freaking JBH sniping me
Edit2: lol 1 sec difference
I'll extend the contest deadline until the 7th of November so that there's a full month since submissions opened, just to be safe.
The only reason why I'm checking up about this is because it is rather hard making a 5.5* map to this song for mania, while keeping it within the ranking criteria and making it enjoyable to play (probably not impossible, but I haven't figured out a way yet without overmapping some sections)
Thanks a lot for your trouble and help!
You can name your difficulties whatever you want, really. If there's issues, we'll just ask for them to be changed during the compilation phase.
Because the easier difficulties will have a hard time actually staying under 1.5*/2.25* at this BPM level
Which leads me to this question: Is minor SR difference allowed? And if currently not, will there be a rule to change that?
I just saw the question above me abouting naming the difficult.
Well, if I am not going to make an standard difficult, for example, if I made a taiko difficult, can I name it like 'Kantan' 'Futsuu' Muzukashii' Oni'? Or I have to name it 'Easy' 'Normal' 'Hard' 'Insane'?
BTW, thank you answering my question
Scratch that, I'll remove it as soon as I notice someone using the forum other than me and the author, which I just did.
When will voting open?
The question is..
One of the information given in the contest rules is maps are treated as extra only when the diff reaches 5.5 or above.
Mania at 5.5+ is very insane and i think it is a good idea to reduce the star difficulty condition for mania (only)

inb4 nobody vote for less popular key on mania,
as for advice to have a fairly fair vote, i suggest each user that want to participate the vote should vote for whole difficulty on the selected gamemode.
let say~ im gonna vote for 4k
i should vote for easy normal hard insane extra which submission is the best of course without knowing the mapper
Plus, it is best to divide 4 5 6 7 8 9 key as different category of mania.
of course we do not want to see X key win because X is more popular and majority vote goes there leaving all other key left behind unfair.
As result, it is better to have winner of each key category than only X key win over the other~
nyawnnn~

Does "as represented by star rating in the game client" mean that if I'm going to make a standard easy it has to be strictly 1.5 stars or below?
OK...Thanks

So if I had a 5.42* submission, should it be Insane or Extra?
The rules say to follow the in game rating, but also that at 5.5*+, it becomes Extra, so what about the region in between 5.25 and 5.5?

5.4 > Insane,Extra X
5.3 > Insane O / 5.4 > Extra O
5.4 > Insane / 5.3 > Extra X
5.25-5.5 also falls under extra since the rules specifically state that difficulty tiers follow exactly by star rating.Kradfiz wrote:

I've updated the OP with answers to a few of the pressing questions posted.
If submissions close on the 25th Oct, it won't even been a month since the contest was announced (29th Sept), let alone since submissions opened (7th Oct)... Is this correct?
Edit: lolsniped
The second answer explicitly say that there will be one month after submissions are open, and the current deadline doesn't even gives us one month since the announcement of the contest (28th of September). Now we suddenly find ourselves less than 2 weeks until submissions are closed, while it should be, at the very least, close to 4 weeks considering submissions opened around lasst Friday (the first time I noticed they were open was October 7th).Ephemeral wrote:
When do submissions close?
Submissions close on the 25th of October server time. We highly recommend submitting your entry 48 hours before to avoid timezone issues.
How long will the contest run for?
At the very minimum, at least one month after submissions open. We will likely extend this time, and we will announce publicly a week before submissions close fully.

I have a question. So let's say there is a 5+ star map. Is that insane or extra? Would it be insane because it says 5.5+ stars is extra?
Topic Starter
Yes, it would be an insane.
What should we name our difficulties before submitting?
Does this rule also apply for the mania mode? So something that is 5.3* is an Extra by the game client, but is counted as an Insane for the purpose of this tournament?Ephemeral wrote:

If the game considers it an Extra, it's an Extra. Vice versa for all the other modes as well.

Are "unrankable" maps allowed, such as the Aspirant winner Transform?
AKA: Do we have to follow the rules of a normal map?
https://osu.ppy.sh/s/484689 <-- Transform
Also, we are allowed to change the timing right? XD
Thanks,

No, all maps must follow the Ranking Criteria as closely as possible. Minor violations are permitted for the sake of not having to vet every entry with a fine-toothed comb, but any issues with winning maps will be resolved in the post-contest modding as per a normal ranked map.
And yes, you are allowed to alter the timing if you wish. Just make certain that your alterations are (mostly) correct, or you may find it hard to get votes for your entry!

Hello,
I'm kinda confused. When are we supposed to hand the maps in? Because although the pages say 7th november I saw peppy saying that we have to hand it in on the 25th october which litterally is in 7 days.
Thank you for the contest anyways, my mapping skills have risen by x²

The pages will always have the correct date, so the 7th of November is what it is!
We bumped the date forward after we realized due to feedback from this thread that it wasn't really enough time.

Extra difficulties may be named things other than Extra - they'll just be assumed to be of the Extra tier if their SR is above 5.5 as mentioned previously.Osuology wrote:

Sorry for asking some question asking some useless question.
But does that means we need to submit all gamemode? Or we can just submit one?
And by the way, is collab accepted?
I want to join it but I can only make 1 gamemode ;3;

You can submit any difficulty tier you like for any gamemode - you don't have to make a full set if you don't want to.
The entire point of the contest is about giving people a choice. The people who map full sets obviously have higher chances of getting a winning entry because they've entered more things, especially if they're well-made.

I'm adding inherited timing sections in my beatmap due to me only being capable of "soundmapping". I also added another timing section at the beginning of the song because when I beatmap a song, I beatmap an entire song. Will my beatmap still be accepted?
