General Rules:

Player registrations must be done by completing the google form linked above.
Only players with a Malaysian flag on their profile can participate in the tournament.
> and NO we do not allow other SEA countries such as Indonesia or Brunei to participate.
Should the tournament not exceed 32 participants then Group Stage will be skipped and continued to Round of 16.
Joining the Discord server is MANDATORY. Failure to do so after the registration ends will result in an instant disqualification.
If a player name changes, immediately contact the hosts or any staff members in the discord server.
We will have other specific rules for communication in Discord but please just use common sense.
Players must be above #10,000 ranks to be able to participate. Should one rank up to 4 digits between the start and end of registration phase, the player will be disqualified.
> However after registration ends, players are allowed to finally increase their ranks.

Gameplay Rules:

ScoreV2, Head to head, 1 vs 1
Each player will be granted 1 warmup each during the Group and Bracket Stages.
> Qualifiers will not be granted a warmup.
> Warmups should not exceed at most 4 minutes so the match duration will be stalled.
> Should one match be livestreamed, warmups must not have controversial songs, controversial map patterns and songs that will most likely be DMCA'ed
NoFail is mandatory throughout the entire tournament therefore failed scores do not matter.
After warmups is done, each player will !roll. Highest roll will get to choose whether to "pick first ban second" or "ban first pick second"
Players are given exactly 120 seconds to pick or ban. Should a player exceed the timer, the pick/ban will be moved on to the other player.
During Group Stage & Round of 16, players are only given 1 Ban each.
On the later stages (Quarter Finals and onwards), players will be given two bans each with a special ban procedure.
> The ban procedure is similar to Dota 2 Captain's Pick or Corsace 2020.
> The ban procedure is explained in the Discord Server Channel #tourney-rules.
> You can ask Sonic- or the referees for further questions.
In the Freemod picks, you MUST pick a mod which include HD, HR, EZ and FL.
> NoFail is still mandatory. Should one player forgot to turn on NoFail then the referee must abort the match.
> DoubleTime is not available for freemods. We will not allow despite mutual agreements from both players.
> During tiebreakers, freemod rule is applied but are still allowed to play with NoMod.
> EZ mod will be given a multiplier depending on the Mappooler's decisions.
Players must be ready for their matches 10 minutes prior to their matches. Should one player be late for their match then the decision is decided by the referee and the streamer to give the judgement call (but prioritise the Host's decision).
Additional rules may be applied in the future but will first be notified through Discord.

Everyone involved is responsible in reading the rules and there shall be no excuses whatsoever if the rules are already written above.

And of course, we must have specific rules to ensure this tournament are only for Malaysian amateur tourney players. If you are within the rank range but already have a high skillcap to compete further in community tournaments or qualify in osu! Malaysia Tournament, then it is best to let the amateurs compete.

The Blacklist rules are as followed :

Players who have already qualified in past osu! Malaysia Tournaments.

> "If you are able to qualify for OMT, then why bother playing in the amateur version"
> This tourney allows 5 digit players who failed to qualify in past OMT so that they can finally have a shot.
Players who are below rank 10,000 as of the release of this forum post.

> Players MUST be above rank 10,000 between 12th February until the 28th.
> We have taken a screenshot of the last player who is above 10,000 ranks (as of 12th February @ 18:26 PM UTC+8). The players above the said player cannot participate in this tournament.

The Last Player eligible for this tournament :
