  6. Players and staff members must have read this ruleset entirely (and we will assume you did so throughout the tournament).

Tournament Registration and Teams Creation
  1. In order to participate you need to meet the criteria stated in the rank restriction part.
  2. Players sign up individually. When their registration is accepted, they will get a country role.
  3. The first captain of the team will be chosen by the tournament's staff, and will be sent the roster of every player in the country by osu! forum PM.
