Once again, I'm back with a new competition. This time, I'm playing at another idea. Read on to find out more.

Introduction

SPOILER
Aim

Fun: A little absurd if you don't have fun playing osu!...
&
Memories: We'll be taking a little trip down memory lane...
&
More memories: ...And let's see if anything's changed!

Reward

Grand Finale winner: 6 months supporter sponsored by: KaySeeWhyWhy

Second place: 4 months supporter sponsored by: SigLogicalMaxiss

Third place: 2 months supporter sponsored by: KaySeeWhyWhy

Date

The competition starts after OWC, which will be made known after OWC ends.

Participation

SPOILER
1) Up to 16 players can join. If reception is good, I can increase it to 32.

2) All OSU! XD (FB group) members can join.

3) All Singaporeans outside of the FB group OSU! XD can join.

4) You must be willing to sacrifice few months of your time.

Schedule & Format

SPOILER
1) 1v1 elimination.

2) Winners, Losers brackets.

3) Matches can be scheduled at any time, as long as:
a) You have a referee for the match (referees who are participants cannot referee their own match).
b) Both players are free.
c) The match is played within two weeks once available, rounded off to the latest weekend.
i) Failure to do so will result in DQ for the person who is not free on the final day of the time limit.

4) Players can play deeper into their respective brackets, as long as their opponent is in the same level in the bracket as them.

Note: Because matches can be freely scheduled, there will be no DQ for no-show, but only for the first two times. If a player fails to show up for a scheduled match for the third time, he will be automatically DQed from the entire competition, without so much of a demotion from his bracket.
Game Format

SPOILER
1) Best of 5 for all matches except the Winner's Final, Loser's Final and Grand Finals.
a) Picks in order: First player, Other player will rotate for the first four, Referee for the last.
b) First player can be decided by playoff, dice roll, RNG, RPS etc.
c) Match can end prematurely in the case of domination.

2) Winner's, Losers Finals are as such:
a) Best of 7.
b) Both players rotate hosts for first 6, Referee last.

3) Grand Finals and Third-Place Playoff:
a) Best of 9.
b) Both players rotate for first 4, Referee x2, Both players for next 2, Referee x1.

4) osu!Standard only!

Map Listing Rules & Regulations

SPOILER
1) Everyone participating in this competition will have a "History Circle".
a) History Circles are simply lists of maps arranged in chronological order of play.
i) Each participant must have at least 6 maps in his History Circle.

2) By everyone, I mean everyone, including referees.

3) The History Circle is defined by the participant.

4) The History Circle must be populated by maps which the participant feels sentimental to. Examples are:
a) First FC b) Maps which triggered a sudden, vast improvement in skills
c) First FC on another mod d) A feel-good performance e) Best map
...and so on and so forth.

5) Maps are difficulty-specific. In short, no mapsets.

6) Unranked maps are allowed.

7) Unplayable maps are NOT allowed.

8) There is no limit to the size of the History Circle.
a) Participants can insert or remove maps into or from their History Circles as long as they ensure it remains chronologically arranged, before the competition goes underway.
b) No one can edit his History Circle once the competition is underway.

9) Please be honest. It livens up the competition.

Picking Maps

SPOILER
1) Players will pick maps from their own respective History Circles.
a) Referees also follow this rule.

2) Go down the list. Skipping of maps in the list is strictly not allowed.

3) Upon picking their map, players will share their story as to why they had that map in the list in the first place. Give something acceptable which isn't "because I feel this map will win me this competition", because we want fun.

4) The History Circle is not reset after a match is over; It goes on and on throughout the competition.

5) The History Circle is reset only when the last map has been played. (That's why, circle.)

6) The History Circle will be filtered to the 5 most recent milestones during the Grand Finals and Third-Place Playoffs.

Points Allocation

SPOILER
1) Winner of a round gets 1 point.

2) A death indicates a loss, whether or not the player revives himself or not.

3) If both players die in the round, neither will get any points.

4) The player with the most points at the end of the round advances to the next round.

5) The player who loses will be demoted to the Losers Bracket if he is not already in the Losers Bracket.

6) If both players end the match with the same number of points, the referee will conduct a Deathmatch.
a) In a Deathmatch, the referee picks a map down his History Circle.
b) Players in the advanced placing at the end of the map will win the match.

Game Rules

SPOILER
1) Leaving in the middle of the round results in a full DQ regardless of internet connectivity.

2) Fixed Mods are available throughout the competition. Double Time must be agreed upon. Flashlight is banned.

HISTORY CIRCLES

SPOILER
To submit a History Circle, make a list and upload it to Google Drive. We will then access it from there.

Each map in the History Circle must be in the following format:
(Author) {Map Name} [Difficulty] - {Link}

After uploading to Google Drive, feel free to throw it in here, at the bottom, in the following format:
{Link} - (osu! username)

Q&A

Q: I still don't understand the History Circle system.
SPOILER
A: To better explain it, we can break "History Circle" into their individual words.
History: You make a list and arrange it in chronological order of play. It doesn't matter when the map is made. What matters is when you play it.
Circle: You proceed down the list as you play. Once the list finishes its last song, it is reset and you start from the beginning again.

Q: If I find a recent map that is awesome, can I put that into my circle even though it has no historical merit to me whatsoever?
SPOILER
A: Yes, you can. Maps which give a feel good factor can be added into the circle. However, make sure that it is the best/first/worst in whatever reasoning you give it. For instance, the best Faust map in my opinion, or Faust's first map, or my first Foreground Eclipse - Flames Through the Black Feather map which I managed to hunt down and was so good to play etc...
Q: Will the referee share the room with the two players?
SPOILER
A: Yes.

Q: Where can I submit my History Circles?
SPOILER
A: At the bottom of the osu!SG Milestone Battle! Rules and Regulations page.

Q: Can I add maps which hold meaning to me but which I don't play often?
SPOILER
A: Of course. This competition is designed specifically not just for you to re-explore your history or milestones, but also for everyone else to understand how you came to be the current player you are right now.

Q: What would define a map as unplayable?
SPOILER
A: All ranked and approved maps are playable. For pending, graveyarded and maps not on the database, they have to go through the judgement of referees and organisers first. Maps which are badly timed are not playable by any means.

Q: I'll be active for the entire tournament except for a 2.5 week break during the December holidays. Can i still join?
SPOILER
A: Yes, you can. While it is not recommended to bypass the 2-week time limit, it is allowed to schedule a match within the month of match availability. However, if you fail to make it to the scheduled match outside of the primary 2-week window, you will be automatically disqualified.

Q: What happens if there is a tie after all rounds are played?
SPOILER
A: The referee will conduct a deathmatch from his History Circle. In this case, the only winning condition is to lead the placings at the end of the deathmatch.

Q: Can I edit my History Circle before the competition starts?
SPOILER
A: Yes you can. You can add/remove maps to your History Circle before the competition starts. During the competition, however, while you are still allowed to edit your History Circle, you can only add songs to the Circle, not remove.
Q: Is there a rank limit?
SPOILER
A: No. As far as qualification criteria is concerned, all Singaporeans and members of the osu!SG group are allowed to join.

Probably when more people have submitted their History Circles and enough staff have been found. Right now progress is pretty slow.

And I think the group to join should be the other group though sup, not Osu! SG
Wishy
Take into account that OWC is probably coming up soon so you might want to consider that.
Topic Starter
Sup A Noob
I did. While I had half the mind to run it concurrently with OWC, I am not in a hurry to start the competition, despite the registration deadline.

Who knows? When OWC ends, I might decide to make this international instead.

No, the competition is completely open.

Registration deadline has been postponed until further notice. This is to accommodate the long-awaited OWC.

While that is the case, registration is still open to all qualified. Please follow the guidelines before finalising and submitting your History Circle for reviewing.

I meant to say:

1) All Singaporeans outside of the group "osu!SG" can join the competition.

2) All members within the group "osu!SG" can join the competition.
