Wait this isn’t TAR
This is an osu!standard 2v2, Score V2, Double Elimination tournament!
The rank range is 3000 - 30,000 with BWS

Here is what's going on:
Since this a 2v2 instead of the traditional 1v1, in order to allow badged players to still play, but limit "superteams", some form of BWS is needed.
HOWEVER, this doesn’t mean we’ll be straying too far from our roots.
Each team is allowed to have 2-4 players on the team. Each team is allowed to have 1 player who is within the 3k rank range, but taken out due to BWS. This, along with the fact that the BWS being used is fairly lenient, makes this TAR just as competitive and broken as the rest of the iterations.

Players must be within the rank range at the time of registration closing. After registration closes, all player ranks will be locked, and players are free to rank up or down as much as they want. Players will not be kicked out if they exit the rank limit before registration ends, as long as they meet the limit when registration closes.

Prizes
1st Place: Profile Badge (Pending approval) & Profile Banner | 2nd Place: Profile Banner | 3rd Place: Profile Banner
As of now, there is no intention of a monetary prize. If anybody would like to donate to a crowdfunded prize pool, feel free to contact the host.

The All Rounder, a short summary
TAR started as a tournament meant to test the overall abilities of 5 digit players in a competitive setting. Over time, it has evolved into a playground for players within the rank range, allowing them to enjoy challenging other great players in their rank range.
Along with better players being allowed back into their rank range, Map pools will be difficult, far more difficult than a standard tournament in this rank range is meant to be. This will test the skills of many players early rounds, and push even the best players to their limits later on.
TAR4 will try to get approval for a profile badge award, players will go through screening by osu! staff, and a profile badge may be awarded to the winner.




Keep in mind that the star rating provided is the predicted star rating for the standard aim map in the map pool, giving a representation of difficulty for the rest of the map pool. The pool will not be based off of star rating, but by the difficulty of the map.
The pool difficulty is also subject to change depending on results it could get harder or it could get easier, the goal isn't to have a grand finals with players scoring 200k, the goal is to challenge everybody, but still keep it competitive.

The tournament is estimated to take place between November 13 - January 3

Placement Lobby Rules

1. If a team missed their scheduled lobby, they can reschedule to a lobby available at a later time. This is only allowed once, if a team misses 2 lobbies without prior notice, they will be disqualified from the tournament.
2. Teams can reschedule to a different lobby as many times as they want, as long as there is a lobby available.
3. If a player is late for their match, each map they miss will be counted as a submitted score of 0. Teams will be allowed to replay missed maps at the end of the lobby.
4. If a player disconnects at any point of the map they will be allowed to replay the map after the lobby has finished cycling through the map pool. This will only be allowed once, any further disconnections due to technical issues from the same player must be within the first 30 seconds of the map in order for a replay to be possible.
5. The Lobby should never abort a map after starting it due to a disconnection, the player will have a chance after the map, there is no need to hold up the entire lobby.
6. If a team needs a player to replay a map after a disconnect, it must be the same player who was originally in the lineup for the map.
7. For the 2nd run through of the map pool, teams are allowed to swap the players in their lineup

After all group matches are complete, players will be placed into a double-elimination bracket starting from RO48.
Every team will be placed into a seed depending on their group placement. 1st place seeds will be drawn randomly against 2nd place seeds in the upper bracket.
3rd place seeds will be drawn against each other, but will begin in the losers bracket.




Miscellaneous Rules

1. If a team shows up after the match has been DQed and considered a noshow, they will be allowed to reschedule the match. This can be done only with the approval of the opponent, the host, and a referee to ref the rescheduled time.
2. If a player disconnects within the first 1/4th of the map, they may reconnect within 10 minutes and replay the map. This will only be allowed once per lobby per player. Any disconnections after the first will result in the player's score not counting, unless the player has proof of their submitted score on the map.
3. If a player disconnects after 1/4 of the map has been played, the map will carry on being played.
4. If a player disconnects at any point near map completion, their score at the time of disconnecting will be counted if there is reliable evidence that they had that score.
   Evidence counts as - a registered local score showing the time of the score, a stream/video/screenshot of the score before disconnecting, a referee in lobby who had access to the live score during the match, scores being submitted in IRC, etc, ask the referee if you are not sure if something is counted as evidence or not.
5. If a player fails to reconnect within 5 minutes of disconnecting, a different team member must be found to play the map. The team has 60 additional seconds to sub in a different player before being given a demerit. If the referee and the other team agree for a delay, they may give the disconnected player more time to join the match.
6. If a team doesn't ban, pick, or have a lineup ready on time, the team will be given one demerit. An additional 60 seconds will be given for the team to ban, pick, or get a lineup in. If the team still does not have their pick or ban after the 60 seconds, the other team will receive the pick or ban, this does not affect the pick/ban order. If a team doesn't have a lineup ready after an additional 60 seconds, they will lose the map point.
   (if they have to use the toilet, just let them go and give them an additional minute or two)
7. If a player has technical difficulties downloading a map during the match, they will be given 5 minutes to resolve the issue. Maps should be downloaded before the match starts, so it is the player's responsibility to be prepared. If the problem continues, it's expected that the team subs out the player for another player.
   If the issue isn't solved within the time limit, it will count as a map loss.

Throughout the tournament, referees will be trusted to make reasonable decisions on a case by case basis as each situation presents itself. If something is not stated in the rules, the referee will be allowed to make judgement based on common sense and valid reasoning using logic and/or evidence.
