OBC is an annual osu! standard 2v2 (with one substitute) tournament for players from Ex-yu countries.
Those are
The matches are going to be played 2v2, but the team size is 3. The third player is a substitute, and can join in place of any other player on the team between maps during matches. If you are looking to play but don't have teammates, feel free to join our Discord server and look for teammates there, in the #recruiting channel. Or just join the server regardless, because that's where all the fun is!
If you can't find a team, you can also apply as a solo player. At the end of registrations, all solo players that registered will be put into teams of three.
There will be two separate tournaments: OBC and OBChibi. Top 16 teams by combined PP of the two higher ranked players in the team will be playing OBC while the rest go into OBChibi.
This is subject to change, depending on the number of registered teams.
There's a lot of fun to be had, as well as fierce competition, and we are excited to see it all unfold! We hope to see as many players as possible, newbies and veterans alike. The more, the merrier! Read on to find out more...
Score V2 + Nofail
Qualifiers for seeding, no eliminations -> Double elimination
OBChibi
Score V1
Group Stage (Groups of 4 teams, bottom 2 eliminated) -> Double Elimination
Double elimination - In the bracket stage, teams that lose their match move to the losers bracket. In the losers bracket, losing a match results in elimination from the tournament. The team that successfully progresses through the losers bracket all the way will face off against the winner of the regular bracket in the final match of the tournament - the Grand Finals. However, since the team that came from losers bracket already lost one game before, they have to win twice in order to claim first place.

Map pools
As the tournament plays out, new map pools will be released for each stage of the tournament every Sunday evening (one for OBC and one for OBChibi). Since matches are always played on weekends, this means players will always have 5 days to familiarize themselves with the maps. Map pools will consist of a range of maps meant to test a variety of skillsets, divided into the following categories:
Nomod | Hidden | Hard Rock | Freemod | Double Time | Tiebreaker
As the tournament plays out, new map pools will be released for each stage of the tournament every Sunday evening (one for OBC and one for OBChibi). Since matches are always played on weekends, this means players will always have 5 days to familiarize themselves with the maps. Map pools will consist of a range of maps meant to test a variety of skillsets, divided into the following categories:
- Nomod maps are played without any additional gameplay-affecting mods.
- Maps in Hidden, Hard Rock, and Double Time are played with their respective mod.
- For maps in Freemod, players choose any combination of Hidden, Hard Rock, Easy, and Flashlight mods. All players must pick at least one mod.
- Tiebreakers do not have any restrictions for mods, players can use any combination they want, including no mods at all.
Qualifiers
- All teams in OBC will participate in Qualifiers, which will determine their seeding for the rest of the tournament.
- Referees will set up multiple qualifier lobbies at different times, and each team must pick any one lobby to play in. This will become available when the Qualifiers Map Pool releases.
- The Qualifiers Map Pool will contain 10 maps: 4x Nomod, 2x Hidden, 2x Hard Rock, and 2x Double Time. All teams in the lobby will play all maps in this order, and their seeds will be determined by the scores they set.
Match Rules
All matches must be coordinated by referees.
Joining your match
All matches must be coordinated by referees.
Joining your match
- All players will receive invites for a multiplayer lobby which will be created by a referee, at the scheduled time of the match.
- Players will have 15 minutes after receiving the invite to join the lobby.
- If a team doesn't have at least one player in the lobby by the time limit, they lose the match automatically.
- When players have joined, each team can choose any beatmap (not from the current map pool) to be played as a warmup. These beatmaps cannot exceed 6 minutes in length.
- After the warmups have been played, one player from both teams will type !roll in the chat. The team that gets the highest roll gets to pick between first ban or second ban.
- Maps that are banned are not allowed to be picked by either team for the rest of the match. To ban a map, simply type either the name of the map, or the maps number in the map pool.
- Example: the third map in the Nomod category is Nomod 3 or NM3
- The Tiebreaker map cannot be banned (or picked).
- Each team will have either one or two bans at their disposal, depending on the current stage of the tournament.
- One ban per team up to Semifinals, two per team in Finals and Grand Finals
- If two bans are available, teams will take turns banning maps.
- The same team is not allowed to ban multiple maps of the same mod category, except for the Nomod category.
- The team that had the first ban will also be the first to pick a map to be played.
- The picked map is then played, and the team that gets the most combined score wins one point.
- Teams take turns picking maps until one team wins enough points to win the match.
- Examples: In a Best of 9 match, a team wins when they achieve 5 points. This is 6 for BO11 and 7 for BO13
- A team is not allowed to pick two maps from the same mod category consecutively, except for the Nomod category.
- In a special case when both teams are one point away from victory, the match is decided by the Tiebreaker map.
- If a team takes overly long to pick or ban a map multiple times, or stalls on purpose, the referee may deny them their pick/ban and give it to the other team.
- In case of players missing, disconnects from the lobby during a map, or other technical difficulties, the map may be replayed, or a short pause may be made.
- These decisions will be up to the referees discretion, and they will be made depending on the current circumstances of the match.
Prizes

- Supporter for top three teams in OBC and the winning team in OBChibi.
