Thanks to Briesmas for writing up these rules.


General Rules

  2. The teams will first play in a qualifier stage, followed by a group stage and then play in a double-elimination bracket.
  3. The Score System used will be Score V2.
  4. 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.
  5. Any members of staff apart from Organizers, Mappoolers and Referees are allowed to play.
  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.

    2. 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.
    3. 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.
