This is a 4v4 draft tournament with a team size of 8 players consisting of 2 divisions.
- Players will register individually
- Division II* will consist of players who are left over from the draft of Division I
Players who have a flag on their profile from a country in North America or South America are the only ones allowed to participate.
Players must be between a rank range of #1 - 20,000 BWS.
- BWS Formula: BWS = rank^(0.9937^(badges^2))
All matches will be played using Team VS, ScoreV2.
All players must join the Discord server before the end of registration or else their registration shall be considered void.
All scheduling will be done in UTC. Find your timezone along with conversions here.
Reschedules must be submitted by Friday, 23:59UTC the week a round is due to happen. Reschedules beyond that point shall be reviewed and judged upon by administration.
Staff are prohibited from participating in the tournament with the exception of streamers, commentators, and GFX artists.

All players are expected to treat staff and other participants with a high level of respect. Any mistreatment or abuse in match, through Discord, or other social media platforms (this includes, but is not limited to: harassment, extreme toxicity, racism, ableism, sexism, homophobia, etc.) WILL NOT be tolerated. Sufficient punishment will be given accordingly.
Administration reserves the right to deny your registration if you have had extenuating misdemeanors in other tournaments which includes, but is not limited to, the osu! Tournament Community Behavior Database.
Forfeiting out of the tournament after being drafted because “you didn’t want to play anymore" or for any other non-emergency reason, will have you added to the watchlist and prohibited from entering the next iteration. Players who register are agreeing to be potentially picked as captain or as a player.
Where rules do not prevail, common sense shall. Administration has explicit discretion to apply their judgement on issues as they see fit.

Qualifiers Procedures:

Each registrant is required to play qualifiers in order to be eligible for the draft.
Qualifiers will be used to determine seeding for bracket stages.
The mappool will consist of 10 maps.
The pool shall be played once starting from NM1 and finishing with DT2.
In order to keep lobbies running smoothly, 90 second timers shall be used between maps for players to ready up.
If a player fails to join their lobby 5 minutes after the scheduled time, they may choose to play the maps they missed at the end of the lobby (with the referee's permission) or reschedule to another lobby.

Draft Procedures:

8 captains shall be picked by administration after the end of registration. Each captain shall be randomly assigned a number from 1 - 8.
Administration takes into account previous tournament presence, tournament performance, and player knowledge when selecting captains.
Each captain shall be given 90 seconds to pick a single player during the draft phase, taking turns in numerical order.
The draft phase will follow a serpentine format:
- Round 1: 1, 2, 3, . . . , 6, 7, 8
  Round 2: 8, 7, 6, . . . , 3, 2, 1
  Round 3: 1, 2, 3, . . . , 6, 7, 8
This shall continue until every team has 8 players.
Following the draft, teams will then move onto a double-elimination bracket stage utilizing power seeding (#1 vs #8, #2 vs #7, etc.) The seed number of each team is determined by the average qualifier scores of each player.

Match Procedures:

A referee will create a lobby and invite the captains. Captains are responsible for inviting their team into the lobby.
Teams are expected to show up to matches on time.
If a team fails to join the match 5 minutes from the scheduled match time, they will lose their roll and their ban(s).
If a team fails to join the match 10 minutes from the scheduled match time, they will forfeit.
It is a player's responsibility to come prepared for the match. If a player comes unprepared, the referee may use their judgement as they see fit.
There are no warmups.
There are no restrictions on picks or bans.
NF will be enforced on all maps.
Captains will roll for picks and bans. The winner of the roll may choose pick order or ban order. The loser will choose the remaining order.
Throughout bracket stage, teams will have 2 bans.
Teams will have 2 minutes for bans, should they fail to choose one within that time, they will lose their ban.
Teams will have 2 minutes for picks, should they fail to choose one within that time, the pick will be given to the other team. This has no effect on the picks thereafter.
Once a map is picked, teams will have 2 minutes to swap teammates and ready up. Once the timer is finished, the referee will force start the map.
FreeMod picks allow HD, HR, and EZ (score multiplier is 1.75x). Teams are required to take at least 4 mods: one must be HD only while another must be HR only. Beyond that, there is free reign over mod combinations in order to meet the minimum requirement of 4 mods. HDHR and EZHD shall both count as 2 mods beyond the base requirements. (EX: HD + HR + HDHR + NM is allowed.)
Tiebreakers are played with Freemod enabled, however, do not require players to use a mod.
In the event of a disconnection, an abort/replay may be called if it occurred within the first 30 seconds of the map. Other than that, common sense will be applied. If proof exists of the disconnected player's score (or a rough estimate of their hypothetical score if they finished the map), it will be used. If it is at all ambiguous, that player’s score shall be considered zero. Each team is granted one replay per match.
Disconnections are considered to be unexpected, game-breaking events out of a player’s control (i.e. keyboard/tablet/mouse malfunction, system failure, internet disconnect, etc). Offset, background dim, etc. ARE NOT considered valid reasons to call for an abort/replay as players may fix these on their own time.
