It's a bit long but this will answer most of your questions about the tournament.
Thanks to Briesmas for writing up these rules.
General Rules
- This tournament is a 2v2 team tournament with teams of maximum 5 players.
- The teams will first play in a group stage and then play in a double-elimination bracket.
- The Score System used will be Score V2.
- Any player who meets the requirements stated in the rank restrictions part is allowed to play. Since this tournament will aim to get badged, some players might be declined by osu staff.
- Any members of staff apart from Organizers, Mappoolers and Referees are allowed to play.
- Players and staff members must have read this ruleset entirely (and we will assume you did so throughout the tournament).
- All participants must stay respectful and keep a proper attitude. Not following this rule can result in a ban/blacklist from the tournament. This rule concerns all the staff as well.
- Any rule changes or unexpected occurrences will be announced in the thread and in the Discord server.
Tournament Registration and Teams Creation
- In order to participate you need to meet the criteria stated in the rank restriction part.
- Players sign up individually. When their registration is accepted, they will get a country role.
- 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.
- The staff can refuse a player if they deem that the player skill is not fit with the tournament.
- This year we are allowing 2 teams for a country under certain conditions:
- There are 6 or more players signed up for a country.
- Each team has to have at least 3 players.
- The captain chosen by the tournament's staff is the one in charge for choosing the team roster, unless if:
- There are 5 players or less signed up for a country, those players will form the team representing their country.
In other cases, he will be the one to decide how it will happen, like: - In case there are more than 6 players signed up for a country, the roster must be separated so that it makes 2 teams.
It is recommended to find an agreement as fast as possible to then decide on the captain and be able to schedule and prepare your matches rapidly. - In case the players can't find an agreement, they will be ranked by pp and put in the 2 teams with at least 3 members in each of them with the best ones in a first team and the lowest in the second.
- There are 5 players or less signed up for a country, those players will form the team representing their country.
- The captain is going to be the one who reschedules a match if needed and will ensure that his teammates are here for the matches.
Stage Regulations
- There are seven stages in this tournament: the Qualifiers, the Group Stage, the RO16, the Quarterfinals, the Semifinals, the Finals and the Grand Finals.
- The team will be seeded with the average of their ranks on each map during the Qualifiers round.
- In case there are more than 32 registered teams, only the top 32 of the Qualifiers will go in the rest of the tournament.
- Teams will be drawn in 6 groups of 4 teams during a drawing show which will happen on Sunday August 11th.
- In the Group Stage all the teams from each group will face each other. The best 2 teams get out of groups.
- Rankings of each group are determined by sorting the results of each team's performance in the following priority:
- Most matches won.
- Highest (number of beatmaps won - number of maps lost) score.
- Most beatmaps won.
- Winner of the match played previously between the tied teams.
- In Group stage, 'Win by default' will be considered as win by 5:0.
- The winning condition for each stage is :
- Group Stage : BO9 (win 5 maps)
- RO16, Quarterfinals and Loser's bracket round 1 and 2 : BO11 (win 6 maps)

Mappool Instructions
- There will be 1 mappool for each of the following : Qualifiers, Group Stage, Quarterfinals, Semifinals, Finals and Grand Finals.
- The Loser's Bracket will play on the same pool as the Winner's bracket of the same weekend.
- The Qualifiers pool will be different from all the other rounds, as it will have a format of 2 NoMod maps, 1 Hidden map, 1 Hard Rock map, 1 Double Time map.
- Each mappool consists of 7 brackets: NoMod, EX, Hidden, HardRock, DoubleTime, FreeMod and Tiebreaker.
- Every mappool will consist of 20 maps.

Match Regulations
- A private lobby will be created 10 minutes before your match by a referee. Both teams captains will be invited into the room when it's match time. Then the referees or the captains will invite the other players into the room.
- If no staff or referee is available, the match will be postponed.
- If less than the minimum required players attend, the maximum time the match can be postponed is 10 minutes.

- The captain of each team will roll with the command "!roll" in the chat.
- The team with the highest roll bans second and picks first. The team with the lowest roll bans first and picks second.
- Beatmap selection will then alternate between each captain selecting a beatmap out of the map pool.
- Captains may pick freely from any bracket.
- Exchanging players during a match is allowed without limitations.
- If a player disconnects between the beatmaps and the team can not provide an exchange, the match can be delayed 10 minutes at maximum.
- If a player disconnects, they get treated as if they failed the map.
- Disconnects within 30 seconds after beatmap begin can be rematched. This is only allowed once per team.
- Failed players' scores do not get added to the team score.
- If the beatmap ends in a draw, the game will be nullified and the map will be replayed.
