Welcome to the 4th iteration of Mapping to Pander: Taiko!

Mapping to Pander (M2P) is a contest with two primary features: there is only one judge, and you may map any song.

Your goal in this contest is simple: you must create a map that panders best to the chosen judge for the contest. The judge will not be given any criteria; it will be up to them how they score and rank the entries, either by making their own criteria, or simply sorting them from best to worst.

Each iteration of the contest will have a different judge, with different tastes and criteria from the last.

There will be a few rules to abide by, but for the most part you are free to submit whatever song and map you desire.

The Pander Points system


In order to commemorate mappers that perform excellently across many iterations, we've introduced a path to 3 tiers of badges!

Each iteration will award points to the top 3 contestants. The points are awarded as follows:
- 1st place: 3 points
- 2nd place: 2 points
- 3rd place: 1 point

Pander Points reward users with a profile badge, which can be upgraded at certain thresholds:
- 6 points: Tier 1
- 12 points: Tier 2
- 18 points: Tier 3



The points leaderboard can be found in the wiki page or the Discord server.

Judge


The judge for this iteration of the contest will be finisher connoisseur and recent pp overlord, Cynplytholowazy!

Judging Criteria


The judging criteria is determined by the judge. For this iteration, the judge has stated the following:

Entry Rules


- All entries must be submitted as .osz files.

- It is recommended that you use https://s-ul.eu/ to upload your entry.
Using other file sharing services can risk your entry not being accessible, which would result in disqualification.

- Your map must be an osu!taiko map.

- You must submit only ONE difficulty.

- Songs must not exceed 6:00 minutes of length.

There will be a bit of leeway in cases where the song is really close to the 6-minute mark.

- Entries should abide by the Ranking Criteria.
Mistakes happen and may affect judging, but submissions that cannot be ranked without major changes will be disqualified.

- Maps must NOT be uploaded / shared with others before judging and results are announced.

- Submissions will not be accepted after the deadlines.


Heavy and continuous violation of these rules can result in a ban/blacklist from all future iterations of this, or other osu!taiko related community contests.

Submissions


In order to submit an entry for this contest, you have to submit it through the Mappers' Guild Contest Listing, and join the Discord server
